Trump derangement syndrome is stage five, no vaccine, no cure, no therapeutic.
Safety concerns growing after another plane crash here in the U.S.
You know, it's pretty good.
Yeah, it's good.
English would be fantastic.
He is. He is Pete Hegseth.
I mean, you know, I don't think anyone feels great about where we are right now.
Yeah, he has four jobs now. And I think that... The truth is like there are some really serious international challenges and we just can't have the B team in here. We need serious people. And I think that Pete Hegseth should resign and is just not where we need to be.
Well, Michiganders are very independently-minded people, as you know. I'm a Michigander. Yes, he's a Michigander, and we're very proud of him, right?
Yeah. And, you know, I think, so we're independently minded, but I think the two things that really came through in the last election was, one, it was a pocketbook election, right? People wanted someone who was going to put more money in their pocket. And then number two, if I can be frank, is a little harder to grab onto. It's like people are looking for a little alpha energy.
And I think I had, like, a little bit more alpha energy than the average Dem, and I want us to get more alpha energy. Okay, okay.
I just think well, okay, you're a Midwesterner and let me explain for those who are not Midwesterners like think of who we identify with as like our big leaders right right now.
Most popular man in Michigan is the coach of the Lions right Dan Campbell and go lines and and he is just but he like he loves big he's tough with people but he like well hug you and give you know and cries eyes out with his guys do great like we want leadership right we're in a moment of crisis in the country and a moment of change as well.
And so we want leaders who can, like, lead us through and light the tunnel so that we can get through this moment of our history. And that is, like, not a quiet, calm diplomat. You know, that is, like, let's go. And I think that is what Michiganders are looking for in their leaders in the state, but also across the country.
It's actually what Michiganders said. There was a poll in February, and those were the words identified most with the Democratic brand.
And I think that, you know, again, I don't think it's just Trump voters who want something different. I think our government is a 20th century government, and we're in the 21st century. It needs to change. No one loves our health care. No one loves how we do education. No one loves how our government works.
So we need to change it, but we want responsible change, not reckless change, not just breaking stuff to break stuff.
I think we need to hear that. And I think that Michiganders understand that, like, we can't stay the same. We can't look backwards. We have to look forward. But we want to know who that is. And I think the Democratic Party should be leading instead of just saying, no, no, no, status quo, status quo, don't change. No, embrace change. But, like, put your marker down on what you think should happen.
Talk about how we need a stronger middle class in this country because it's shrinking. It is. Like, don't try to hide it. It is.
So to me, that's like the vision piece. And then because I'm from the national security world, like at the Pentagon, you don't go to the bathroom without a plan, right? Like you're constantly planning.
