the people we've gotten to meet along the way have just been incredible. Even like this, sitting here and talking to you and being able to speak directly to Americans, regular people, without the filter of some of this legacy media folks or spins or agenda, you can just say, hey, this is what happened.

And I would add one other thing to that is one benefit that's come from this is when you're faced with a lot of criticism and you know it's unjust, but over time what you do is you look internally like, hey, did I make that decision right? Was I operating? Is any of this stuff true?
