Gina asks Ricky if he thinks this idea makes sense, and he says that it does.

Rickey stresses that many politicians are only interested in winning campaigns and making money, which can be detrimental to the people they serve.

Sylvia brings up education and how it is a crucial part of the world today, but she is troubled by the promotion of war as a way to progress forward. She wonders if there is a way to spiritually think more about people, animals, the environment, and the different species that exist on earth. Ricky responds by saying that education is key to opening doors, and the more educated someone is, the more they will succeed. He notes that growing up, no one in his family had a good education, but education is fundamental, and learning something new is essential. He believes that people can teach themselves and go on to do great things, citing rapper Nas as an example of someone who dropped out in the eighth grade but taught himself how to read and write poems. Furthermore, discusses the importance of faith and understanding the people's demographic for effective leadership. He cites the Bible's teachings from 2nd Corinthians, which highlight the significance of walking with faith and not just by sight.
