We've moved from a culture of consequence.

Like I said earlier, when you're wrong, it doesn't matter anymore.

We are now in a culture of we could call it churn.

Now, I want to call your attention back to I guess it was 2004 when John Kerry was ultimately the Democratic nominee.

There was a guy named Howard Dean, a medical doctor, a physician who screamed once because he was excited.

It ended his primary race.

Now, a lot a lot of our younger voters are like, wait, so someone screamed and it ended his primary race.

Yes.

Howard Dean had this moment.

I wish I had the audio.

I don't.

But I'll recreate it for you.

Where after I think he had won a primary.

He got up on stage and he sort of went, we're going to go to Iowa and New Hampshire and Kansas.

It was sort of like a noise like that.

That was it is over.

He ended his primary race because of the scream.

Now, some argued he eventually would have lost anyway.

I think that's true, but it wouldn't have been immediate.

That seems impossible to imagine today.
