We pronounce it Charlotte here in Michigan, but other surrounding small towns and rural communities, DeWitt, Owasso, St. John's Howell, Brighton, Lansing, Okemos, Mason, Michigan. These are all, you know, vibrant small towns and communities in Michigan. But I'll tell you, Lansing, our capital city, the central point of this district, rose as high as the 9th most dangerous city in America on the FBI ranking list. Another indicator of the failures of this administration and those that enable them, like Alyssa Slotkin, through unsecured border policies. Failure to hold, you know, prosecutors accountable who won't enforce the law. (05:16–05:26)
