Wes Moore

because he decided to single me out and to say that, listen, as we're having conversations about the future of this dinner, I just want to let you know he is not invited.

And I think about it where he's trying to exclude me from an organization

That, first of all, he did not make me a part of.

The people of Maryland made me a part of the National Governors Association when they elected me to be the 63rd governor of the state with the largest vote count in the history of Maryland gubernatorial elections.

And he did not make me the vice chair of the organization.

Do you know who did that?

The other governors.

Democrat and Republican who voted for me to serve as the vice chair of this organization.

So as my grandfather used to say, you cannot, don't let someone take something from you when they never gave it to you in the first place.

And so watching the president move in this way, again, it tracks, but it's just also so deeply indicative of the kind of moment we're in right now.

Oh, not at all.

No.

And I have I've decided that, you know, I can't I can't get into the mindset or the intent of the psyche of a person who is just deeply unstable.

So he did not explain why.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And listen, and what's really what's really problematic about it is, you know, just a couple of weeks ago, you know, I I led a group of Democratic and Republican governors where we had a convening at the White House at the old executive office building around energy.

and around forcing PJM, the grid operator and the grid conductor for 13 different states to say that they need to focus on reducing costs and they need to focus on increasing reliability and increasing access for energy because we are working on trying to reduce these energy prices for the people of the state of Maryland and for the people all in the 13 states all along the PJM grid.

But I've also been very clear that I will work with anyone, but I will bow down to no one.

And I think it's that second component that the president seems to have a deep disagreement with.
