Have you demanded some kind of bottom-up outreach to the governor's office about what are we doing here?

What is the plan if this goes down?

I just think it is responsible citizens looking at the problem, and first of all, take ownership of the damn thing.

Let's break it down a little bit more.

Yeah, and I think that's really good.

And again, I would just call out to veterans

I'm speaking primarily to Global War on Terror veterans, but certainly Vietnam veterans, veterans of any generation, I think are well, I just think they're well equipped to lead,

conversations and community level activities around this kind of thing.

To me, it's just as pragmatic as preparing for a hurricane or a tornado or a natural disaster that could hit your community.

You know, nobody in East Palestine, Ohio ever thought that a train would derail in the middle of town and spew chemicals everywhere.

You know what I mean?

But it did, and look at how it impacted that community.

And you better believe now they have a community action plan

for those kinds of disasters.

But I think veterans are just well-equipped for that.

And I think that we've seen the enemy, we know how they operate, and we know they're very real, and we're pretty good at communicating a narrative.

And again, I think it should be pointed out that what you've done with this, what Sarah has done, what Legend has done, all of us are arguably underqualified

to take this on in the terms of what's been accomplished.

I mean, I look out over my skis all the time like it's a ski jump thinking, man, that landing is gonna suck.

That's what it feels like.
