David Timbend
Everybody welcome, from the People's Conventional Party ... Martin Da Luz!
David Timbend
How are you feeling? Things must be tense out there.
Martin Da Luz
This is nothing, absolutely nothing. You know, my father was a candidate as well. While he didn't win, he was an inspiration to the nation, especially our amazing PCP.
David Timbend
So, early last year, we thought that we would be talking to Glauco Melo. Tell me, who is Martin Da Luz? Our audience wants to know.
Martin Da Luz
Well, David, I am a proud graduate of Rhoti United. I got myself a master's degree in economics. How many people can say that? We have these law school graduates in the running but I am a bona fide economics graduate. These second rate candidates brag about Graycott ... and whatever other school they went to. Rhoti United provides the best so you know I have something to give. I was even born in the gorgeous and downright amazing metropolis of Nethersole. Nethersole, in case you don't know, has Rhoti United University.
David Timbend
Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself?
Martin Da Luz
I am a father of two healthy boys! I mean, admit it, a father who is also a graduate of Rhoti United University ... you can't get any better than that! My wife, Larissa, is an amazing supporter of mine. She does these Owlers and other apps these kids have--you know, I've been learning how to make Owlers on the app.
David Timbend
I believe you are referring to hoots.
Martin Da Luz
I know what I mean, David. Okay, so, Larissa and I have been married for 12 years. My past couple of wives didn't know what they were missing. Caryn and Margaret? Who? They were nothing to me. Larissa Da Luz? The best thing to ever happen to me.
David Timbend
So, let us pause there. So, you are the proud leader of the People's Conventional Party. What qualifies you to be our nation's leader?
Martin Da Luz
You want qualifications, David? Do you really need to ask? I am a genuine graduate of Rhoti United University in the proud town of Nethersole, Rhoti, Vitosium. I graduated with a master's degree in economics. Economics! Do you know what that word means, David?
David Timbend
I do.
Martin Da Luz
What does it mean, David? Tell me.
David Timbend
What does that word mean to you, Mr. Da Luz?
Martin Da Luz
Let me tell you what it means, David. It means I am qualified.
David Timbend
To you, what is the definition of leadership?
Martin Da Luz
To be a leader, you first have to get the best education you can imagine! I'm talking about Rhoti United University with a master's degree in economics, David. After that, you have proven yourself. You have what it takes! When you graduate from Rhoti United, you are a true man of the people. You can do anything!
David Timbend
So, the true definition of leadership is graduation? Wouldn't that make any graduate a leader by default?
Martin Da Luz
That is where you are wrong, David. David Timbend, that is where you are wrong. Very wrong. You are so wrong on that, David. You can not imagine how wrong you are, David. Come on, David, you know how wrong you are. You know, right, David?
David Timbend
Please tell me.
Martin Da Luz
David ... David Timbend ... David Timbend, who was born somewhere in the province of Navocalco ... David. You have forgotten what it really means to be a leader and it isn't just graduating from any school. You know where I graduated from, right? It was Rhoti United University with a master's degree in economics.
David Timbend
Let us move on.
Martin Da Luz
I was right about Navocalco, right?
David Timbend
I was born in Tolagovia, actually. Anyway, let us move on.
Martin Da Luz
Whatever. Close enough.
David Timbend
What are some major concerns and issues.
