So just addressing societal utility. If you want attention for a project that has to meet societal utility, people have to need it. They have to want it and they have to feel like they're not allowed to have it. And then you bring it to them and then they're really excited.
If people aren't tripping about a bridge or like worried about a second avenue subway, like I'm telling you, nobody's going to care. And it's not going to be anything that you get pat on the back about. But if there's something that people in New York City do really care about and they're really concerned about and you guys address it, you will be heroes. Yeah.
It's the nature of what, so it's like- I think so, but it is tougher when it just goes well. No, I understand what you're saying. I think that makes perfect sense. Like when we expect the roads to work, so when they work, we don't go, great job, Pete, right? Or whoever's in control, right? We expect the plane to land.
We don't go, matter of fact, if they applaud for the captain, you're like, who are these cornballs? Like it's supposed to land, right? Like that is like a reaction people have. Yeah.
But if there are things that we—and this is one of those situations where it's like, if there's things that we want, that people want, and you are the one to bring it to us, you will be really applauded, especially if we feel like we've been asking for it for years and nobody's listened to us at all. Mm-hmm.
I think if you do certain things for us, not you, somebody in your position that we're not asking for, right? And then go, but this is what you need. Now we're back at the finger wagging where we're like, bro, I didn't even want that to be fixed. Why do you want credit for this thing we're not even asking for? So I think it's really about listening.
What do you think people actually in America, what do you think people really need? If there's five issues, what are the things that they're concerned about?
Roads. We go all over the country. We're actually weirdly...
uh good people comedians are good people to talk about when it comes to like the different parts of this country and how people are living because we go every single weekend every different weird obscure part of this country we're there it's not just the big cities like we're everywhere and um it's roads everywhere i ask people every time i go to a city because i want to know what's going on i want to know what they're frustrated by it's roads every single time if p this day one you're like i'm fixing every fucking road in america and then you did you're
You'd be president because it's something people are actually frustrated by and they don't feel like the government is is answering. You know, what are the other five things like that? OK, so that's one security is the other one.
Take back land. What? I don't know. It sounded fine. I'm just saying, like, I want to see the Democrats be a little more gangster. Like, Republicans would go, we're taking Greenland. What is your build a wall? What is your statement? What is your outlandish thing that you might not do, but it kind of riles people up? It gets the people going.
Like, if you want to say, hey, we're going to seize this land and we're going to build 200,000 affordable housing units on it. That might make some people get excited. It would get attention.
But there is a truth. There is some truth in it, which is, like, I don't know what the statement is for Democrats. I don't know what your build a wall is. And you need a version of that because those are the things that people attach themselves to. As Alex said, like, he's like, hey, we're deporting all these people who are here illegally.
And then you show the video, and then people are like, that's what I voted for, and it's happening. I feel good. Mm-hmm.
What I'm saying is tell people If you want to help them, say the thing that you think they need help with out loud. Directly. And say that you're going to do it, and then endeavor to do it. We already expect you guys not to do it. So the least you could do is fucking lie to me. You don't even lie to me. Like, have the decency. It's like, we're married, okay? You're out there cheating on me with...
Scandinavians. He's good. You're out there cheating me with Scandinavians, right? You don't have to throw it in my face. Do you know what I mean? Like, at least just do the decency of telling me the thing that I want to hear and then endeavor to do it. Because right now, I don't know what the what is the platform?
What is the the Republicans did an amazing job of making the Democratic platform feel like this wasn't it at all. This was completely wrong. But they made it feel like we're going to let the school do whatever they want to your kids balls. Right. That's no, that was their message for sure.
And you didn't have a message of something that you cared about that was loud enough to refute that.
I thought it was beautiful. I know you want that. Tell me that it's going to happen. And then how is it going to happen? Like, that's the difference between, like, it's build the wall. And I keep harping on this, but I think it's important for Democrats to understand the effectiveness of that statement. Build the wall wasn't even about build the wall.
It was an idea that satisfied a concern that people felt. So what are your ideas that are going to satisfy the concern? Well, you just told me all these things that I also want. So now we're together. We both want the same things. But you didn't give me the solution to the feeling that I have. I, too, want a safe home.
