You know, you could fool us into working for free. This generation, you can't do that. And by the way, just for the youth regeneration, I won by 26,532 votes. 27,000 new voters voted in April of 2023 that did not vote in February in round one. All of them under the age of 34. Young people got me elected. Young people are leading. Young people are transforming this country. And that's why as a party, we have to do everything in our power to not just challenge our young people, but help them find their purpose. (28:31–28:43)
