I think we've got to all recognize that it's not going to be easy and we've got to work at it.

But, you know, for in my job, you know, I sit on the Armed Services and the Intelligence Committee.

I, you know, I see the threats out there just as a nation, not just internal, right?

External threats all the time, every week.

the challenges, you know, that we, you know, face from from our adversaries.

And I worry about it a lot, but I don't get to the point where it ever seems hopeless to me.

I think this feels, you know, pretty awful.

You know, it's a horrible thing that happened.

And, you know, I see how some people could feel, you know, despair.

I don't feel despair, you know, over over this.

I, you know, certainly, you know, sad about it, what happened to him and his family and our political system.

And this is, you know, this hurts and it's damaging, damaging to us as a country.

I also think we can find our way out of it.

uh yeah yeah i mean i think you know i think they're hurting you know right now and in some cases you know this is a friend of theirs that lost his life so i get that part of it um you know people have been attacked politically you know on both sides melissa hortman state legislature legislator from minnesota he was a democrat my wife was a democrat

You know, governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, Democrat, he tried to burn him up in his house and his family.

Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, nearly kidnapped the president of the United States, you know, Republican president tried to kill him twice.

You know, we see this, you know, this isn't unique to, you know, one party or the other.

I mean, we see this across the political spectrum.

There are bad people out there, you know, that just want to, you know, wreak havoc and murder people.

so i understand when things like this happen and people are very upset that they're going to say things i get that um you know give give this a couple days and i think people will you know calm down and we can really start thinking about some solutions
