Like, I just don't think this should be that difficult.

Make it very easy to message.

And, you know, I'm not afraid of a shutdown fight.

I work for Ted Cruz sometimes.

And this is a narrow one.

Go fight it.

Go fight this and go to the floor every single day and say, these are our three demands.

You know, I actually thought Abigail Spanberger did a really good job in the Democratic response to the State of the Union, even though the format is still like so far behind.

Giving that canned scripted speech is just, I don't know why they haven't adapted.

It's no fault on her.

She gave a good address, but they needed somebody to go out there and just talk about three things.

ICE,

Epstein and elections.

That's it.

Like, can we just put these front and center and they always want to leave with affordability?

I understand like that's consultant speak, but if you want to animate people and understand why the people in power are bad and how they're going to take away your rights, those are the three issues I would lean into super hard.

I don't even want a responder.

I want somebody to go throw bombs as a pre-buttle.

Yeah, there you go.

Right?
