Like I have, over the years throughout my life, through my experiences overseas, coming home, my disillusionment, I went looking for answers.

And in the looking for answers, I read a lot of books and I developed, frankly, a theory of power.

I developed a deep critique of the American, not just the political system, but like the party that the party that I've always been a part of.

I mean, I've been a Democrat.

I mean, I've always been a registered Democrat.

I've also my entire life been very frustrated with the party that that I'm that I'm in you.

Primarily around that theory of power thing.

I mean, I honestly have always been like, we can never articulate, the Democratic Party's never been able to articulate what it's trying to do, like what's the end goal, never really articulates a clear set of policies to get us there, and then never, never seems to want to wield power to make those policies a reality.

Ha ha ha ha!

So I think that the fact that like I like the reason that it doesn't seem focus group and the reason that my messaging is, is because it isn't like I don't like I write my own speeches, like I give my own opinions when people ask me them.

Like, I don't like I've got like communications people.

We talk about ways to like clean it up and make it easier.

Well, I don't I mean, I was like, Oh, my God.

Well, the first two months of the campaign,

John, literally, the amount of news articles that existed, which were, this man swears too much.

And I was like, dude, I'm a former combat marine and I work on the ocean.

What do you expect?

It's the only language outboard engines understand.

If you don't swear at outboard engines, they won't work for you.

It's a scientific fact.
