in filming things and posting things and commenting on it at a moment where the administration is making you more and more afraid of what's going to happen to you if you do those things.

And, you know, if we had had this conversation last week, I think we would have had a totally different mentality about the trajectory of the country and what's going to happen in the midterms or how people are feeling.

But

You know, no King's Day.

You know, I'm not trying to get, like, so amped up about it.

But, you know, you have 7 million people turning out.

And then you see this election where a lot of people turned out and basically said varying degrees of I'm not into what's going on in this country.

And that makes you feel – I don't want to say good.

I'm not, like, that happy about things.

But we're moving –

I feel like we're all speaking a similar language now.

And for a long time, I did not feel that way.

I totally feel that.

And I believe I said it before I was drowned out.

But I don't think that the argument holds, actually, that this is blue turf.

Because the lesson of the 2024 election was that what was solid blue turf is not so solid.

And in Virginia, there's literally a Republican governor.

Number two.

I think New York was number one.

And the five counties that he picked up that a Republican like had never won before went back and went back hard towards Mikey Sherrill.
