Some of them are, but...

I think this is a key issue because Republicans are all in on these data centers.

They 100% favor them because of the economic benefit and the campaign contributions they get.

So this is a way where Democrats can sort of reclaim those rural voters that they've lost, I think.

yeah and you know i my opinion has changed about her a lot and a lot of it is because she's changed in my opinion i mean i think she would admit that she has talked about that that when she came in you know first she was very young she was in her 20s and she was a member of the squad and she did a lot of bomb throwing and you know made a lot of inflammatory statements about several different things um and then i think she she has said this in interviews she realized that that's not

that's not what she wants her career arc to be.

She wants to be in leadership.

I think she either wants to be Speaker of the House or President.

And I think, you know, as she matured and got some years under her and some wisdom, I think she realized that she needed to be more of a team player.

She needed to help leadership, whip votes, and she needed to sort of

um expand her portfolio where she's talking more about foreign policy and more about tax issues i mean she's just become a brilliant student of policy and i think that that is uh the most impressive thing about her is that you can ask her about almost any issue and we do all the time we we talk to her almost every day at midas you know our reporters ask her questions almost every day and we ask her questions about a variety of topics all over the map

she she may be more than any other democrat is able to give you an intelligent answer about such a wide array of topics so um i'm just incredibly impressed with her i think that she has grown a lot and she's still what 30 early 30s bright future ahead of her i think you know everybody talks about her as president i think she would be more ideally a speaker of the house down the road but that's my opinion

yeah you know like people think like i left the party i left it too you know because of trump and i did not you know i i i left the republican party because of

what how everybody else in the party responded to trump i mean you know you had that handful of those never trump republican you know lincoln project type people back in 2016 who spoke up and spoke out and resisted and jd vance was one of them by the way and you know and then that was that was fine but then to see all of these republicans like

vance rubio who despised donald trump who hated donald trump who thought he was a fraud and a con artist and a grifter and all those things i mean marco rubio said some of the most horrible things about donald trump called him a racist you know in 2016 than anybody out there and now he's his secretary of state so it was just

A close friend of mine, Joe Gruters, is now the RNC chairman.

Joe and I were friends for 25 years.

We lived in the same town.

And to watch people like that completely sell their soul and to sell out and take everything that they supposedly believed in, that I believed in, and just say,

None of that matters anymore.
