00:00I'm sorry, I'm just going to go ahead, yeah, okay, sorry.
00:08My name is Hans, I'm from Putin, thank you so much for taking questions.
00:13How, at record, there seems to be many votes that suggest that Democratic voters are very frustrated with their democratic positions.
00:21How do you see that the Democrats have an issue with their brand?
00:25Yeah, we're dealing with a very, you're from America?
00:32Yeah, we're dealing with constituents who are understandably concerned throughout America
00:44at the unprecedented events that we've seen unfold given the change in the executive branch over the last 95 days.
00:54And we are in what we believe is a more is more environment, which is all of us within American democracy,
01:03in the Congress and in the courts in particular, are going to have to stand up in defense of American values and our way of life.
01:13And we'll continue to do that as we have done since January 20th of this year.
01:20Could I contribute to that?
01:22Yeah.
01:23If I could just add on to that.
01:25I've seen a shift in my own district.
01:27I'm Madeline Dean.
01:28I represent suburban Philadelphia.
01:30I had a town hall last week, Thursday of last week, standing room only, full capacity, in all humility.
01:39That doesn't happen for me, usually.
01:41I had more than 600 people attend.
01:44I had two telephone town halls, 9,000 on one, 4,500 on another.
01:49And there's been a shift.
01:50This is what I wanted to report to you.
01:52The old chestnut is, and it's still haunting us.
01:55Democrats are bad at messaging and Democrats have a problem with our brand.
01:59The shift in my district is entirely away from that narrative.
02:03It is, oh my goodness, the chaos, the confusion, the lack of certainty and clarity for businesses, for families, for federal workers, for veterans.
02:12The shift is to that.
02:14And it is pointed directly at the administration, even some who voted for this president and who want him to succeed like we all do.
02:22But it is less about the failed democratic brand, and it is much more about the existential threat that this administration is coming up with.
02:31The harm to relationships like ours with Denmark.
02:34That's why I'm so proud to be on this trip, why Leader Jeffries put it together, to reassure the people of Denmark,
02:40we are your friend and ally before this administration returned to power and after this administration leaves.
02:47everybody at Korea will help us with derivative beyond the instability of
02:47everywhere.
02:48Thank you very much!
