Talk about affordability.
Talk about the fact that people's standards of living haven't gone up in decades in this country, even as productivity has gone up.
And then you can cut through all the malarkey.
But I think that Trump is really smart, classic Gemini son, Leo rising and understands how to entertain and distract people.
And I'm sure there are a lot of people who are going to take the bait and be talking about this clip ad nauseum instead of the fact that there are a lot of significant failures that he has not lived up to his campaign promises.
The Republicans have done a very good job of creating the rhetorical environment they want to fight in.
If they look at polls and they see that people are concerned about immigration, they're going to make the conversation about immigration.
If they don't have a lot in terms of economic policy to make people's lives better, they're going to make the case that the reason that your life isn't better under Democrats is because Democrats are spending too much time
on, say, trans issues.
And I think that now some leftists in the Democratic Party are using that strategy to their advantage.
And they're now saying, OK, the reason why your life isn't better is because we're spending billions of dollars on Israel for them to commit a genocide against people who have never done anything wrong to you.
And it's not just the core issue.
It's not so much, I think, that people were so invested in trans issues.
People are invested in, I think, Israel and Gaza because that's a substantive humanitarian issue.
But the core, the key fact there is you are doing worse off because your leadership is distracted by things that have nothing to do with your leadership.
I think they should have listened to someone like Bernie Sanders, who was selling an economic message that people were very excited about.
But the Democratic Party, I think, listened too much to Obama and Clinton.
They decided to lean into cultural issues across the board because the donor base fundamentally doesn't have to talk about the economic delivery system that can improve people's lives.
I think I'm likely to be the most American person on this panel.
My relatives have fought in every war that Americans have ever fought, including the Civil War, where my ancestors fought in segregated United Color troops for their own freedom and the freedom of all black people in America.
