shannon watts tweeted out, maybe it is our turn. that tweet took off. she is the founder of mom's demand action. so, she has a history of social media posts taking off and turning into movements. and then it was this "oh, crap" moment, we have to figure out how to make it work. so, shannon partnered with glenn and doyle, indivisible. had to work with zoom behind the scenes to bring engineers on to make sure the call could handle more than 100,000 people -- which, they had never had. and it was just two hours of some of the most uplifting, supportive, energy that i felt in a long time with, you know, 160,000 people, many of whom have never done anything political before but felt that this moment is the moment to come together, that there are no more excuses for white women to sit it out, and that it is on us to change the trajectory of this race, and to put the first woman, the first black woman, and hopefully not the last women, into the white house. >> malcolm, i know that you were also on one of the calls that took place this week, i think it was out

there's a call that shannon watts with moms demand action is organizing a cost so just the enthusiasm and the excitement just at the organic level has been really exciting to see. we've seen the fundraising numbers, we've talked about the numbers of people signing up to register to vote. and i think one of the things that's really important and this was talked about in the memo that jen o'malley dillon put out this morning from the campaign part of what we're looking at right now is what voters in different states are going to be available or would be sort of the camila electorate we talked what's the biden electorate? what's the camo electorate? look like? and how do we saw these voters who are coming in, who are maybe weren't planning to vote, who haven't been registered yet, that we can actually register and mobilize to vote in terms of the poll, i'm not surprised and i think the polling that we see in these early days, i'm a little skeptical because it's a little bit of a sugar high let's be honest. i want to see where we are in a couple of weeks when we've really seen she and tru
