So it's
It's endlessly useful as a political reporter to hear what these folks have
it's particularly important to hear to people who do not listen to all of the news the way I do.
Mm-hmm.
Um, I'm surrounded I mean, I'm in a newsroom, I'm surrounded by n news junkies and nerds, people who know what's going on.
Most of America doesn't.
Yeah.
And it's really useful as a political reporter to be like, Oh, this is what breaks through, this is what people care about.
I mean, telling people what is important from your perspective, from the perspective of like what is important.
uh for a democracy, blah blah blah is one thing.
But like I think another important tool for journalists to keep in mind is like what do people already care about?
Because you're if you're giving them information that they're not all that invested in.
It's fine.
Sometimes people need to eat their broccoli news wise.
But things that they do care about, I think, are more salient.
I think um as journalists are sometimes more interesting stories to tell because otherwise you're just like living in your own head and like in your own priorities.
So definitely the mismanagement of the economy, particularly gas prices.
I'm not surprised by that, but I am surprised at like how much people blame Trump for this because for a long time, especially the first year Trump won, it was very unlikely to hear a voter say the economic problems we're facing are not Joe Biden's fault.
But then the war in Iran happened and it was really interesting to see that switch over and everyone be like, Okay, this is officially
Trump's economy now and to see how angry voters are.
