Well, and there's something to be said, though, for... How productive can our country be? How secure can our country be? If over half of the country is living essentially in fear, right? Every day they're worried about what's going to come next, how they're going to pay for the next thing.
When we've got Doge cutting government workers, people concerned about their jobs, we've got friends and family in the military worried about what's coming next, worried about... Reorganisation coming down from Pete Hexeth. You know, there's just there's so many things that are unsettling to the everyday American that are happening that really have a long term effect and a long term cost.
And we didn't even get into the defunding of things like health care, the defunding of research, which will have generations, generations of impact. Yeah. So There's just so much uncertainty and that uncertainty leads people to not be able to function as they normally should or could on a daily basis. And that in and of itself is a loss of productivity and a loss to our economy on a regular basis.
Well, I think you're exactly right. First of all, the criticism of Democrats can only go so far. What are they going to do? And this conversation tends to happen among Democrats, right? We're all very angry and there's always a lot of infighting within the party. And I just want to say on the record that I think that's actually... the result of something that's good.
And that is that Democrats cast a wide net. We are the party of inclusion, bringing people in. We've got people of all different races and backgrounds and ethnicities and nationalities. And because of that, there are so many points of view, so many people focused on what should be the solution.
So although it tends to be fragmented, I think it's actually the result of something positive, which is that we have diversity in our party. But What I think is, first of all, I wish people would focus more on the fact that we have Republicans who not two years ago, four years ago, were talking about Donald Trump being the worst. J.D. Vance. J.D.
Vance was on a media tour, you know, before he was the vice presidential nominee, talking about how Donald Trump was the worst thing that could ever happen to the United States of America. And now here he is. So we don't hold Republicans' feet to the fire or hold them to the same account that we do Democrats. But
As far as what could Democrats be doing, I hate to sound ageist, but we are living in 2025. And we don't have leadership in the Democratic Party that reflects that, if you ask me. I always think that there's room for experience and wisdom and knowledge that should never be lost on us. But I do think that there's room for...
die Schumers of the world to sort of pass the torch, step aside and allow emerging leaders to really flourish in that space. The Jasmine Crockett's, the AOC's and anybody else who's willing and able and aspires to take in a position of leadership. The inability to
work together on messaging and come up with tactics and strategy that they all agree on and can move forward with is, I think, really hindering us right now.
I think that when you don't have the power... in the political sense, that truly that's where communication and messaging really comes in. And that's what I was saying. It's like the inability to agree on direct talking points, direct messaging, or even a way to distribute those. That part, I think, is where they might be failing a little bit, because that messaging can sway.
Ich hoffe, dass sie es zusammen machen.
Well, why don't, because I'm not entirely sure exactly what the program does. So why don't you tell people a little bit about what it entails, why it was important in the first place?
So, when he says that the troops hate this program or people don't like it, riddle me this. How many people are usually sitting at those negotiation tables? Who is typically doing the negotiating?
When you consider that Walls and Rubio were instrumental in putting this program together, getting it off the ground, what do you think is happening there? How do you have these two people in Hegseth's circle? I don't want to use the word allowing, but letting this transpire.
I know, but that's also like you're crapping on the work that I just did for however many years to get this going.
Well, this goes back to what we were just talking about, these sort of long-lasting, potentially generational impacts of this administration and their poor decision-making and poor leadership. I just for a moment... would like to implore everyone listening to imagine that you are Pete Hexeth's wife or mother.
Two women who surround him when he is consistently talking about how women are incapable, they're not powerful, they're not worthy. Like, that is insane to me. I find the fact that you can come from a woman and be married to a woman and have daughters and still espouse this level of disdain for half of the population and be supported in doing so absolutely crazy.
You said one of the most dangerous combinations is one that he has, which I think the words you used were stupidity and arrogance together.
Not even. He's never even seen an organization this large, much less led a reorganization of it.
