Esther Kim Varet Pt 2

In Part 2 of our conversation on It’s Not Black or White, we continue the discussion with a congressional candidate running to represent California’s 40th District — a working mom, entrepreneur, and problem solver who is ready to challenge politics as usual. This episode goes deeper into the uncomfortable conversations: cheating in politics, the way power can corrupt leadership, and how history continues to warn us when political movements begin following dangerous trends — including comparisons to the rise of Hitler, authoritarian thinking, and the manipulation of fear. We continue exploring what real leadership should look like, why accountability matters, and how everyday people can stay aware, engaged, and willing to speak up when democracy feels fragile. It’s a conversation about politics, power, truth, and the responsibility we all have to pay attention. The conversation continues — and as always, it’s not black or white.
