The MeidasTouch Podcast · Brian Tyler Cohen Discusses GOP Chaos and Fighting Back · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

I mean, all of these things, one by one, are the direct results of Republican governance.

And so they're not going to be able to say, hey, who's the Anthony Fauci of 2026?

Who can we pin the blame on?

It is Republicans who are in full control, who have caused these high prices, who've caused inflation, who've caused this Iran war, who have refused to release the Epstein files, who got us involved in another war in the Middle East that they swore that they would avoid.

So again, I think it's gonna be really difficult for Republicans to pin the blame on somebody, which is not to say that they won't try because Donald Trump's whole ethos, his whole mentality, his whole MO is to take all the credit and none of the blame.

And so for everything that's kind of falling

crumbling around him, he of course is going to try to blame it on the Democrats.

But I do think in this instance, past is prologue, and we can see how Americans react to a weakening economy and who they blame, and it is the party in power.

Republicans and Trump have been so willing to lie and show utter contempt for their voters on all of these issues where they offered up promises and then refused to deliver.

Democrats have a rare opportunity here where we can get people back into this camp, but it's gonna take

To your exact point, not having commissions and not trying to move people to tenths of a point and not deferring to the processes of government.

We have to focus on the outcomes of government.

And so in the book, the day after, I talk a lot about the fact that Democrats have refused to wield power in the past while Republicans completely abused their power.

we have to think using that mentality, but to do it in a virtuous way.

So to not let the filibuster or the parliamentarian or processes or norms, all of those things get in the way of actually delivering

for Americans, but I think Democrats are institutionalists or have been institutionalists in the past.

And so to get ourselves out of that mindset and start thinking, okay, Donald Trump was onto something when he tapped into a lot of the populist frustrations that people are feeling.

Of course, he had no intention of delivering because this guy is a billionaire looking to deliver for billionaires.

He did it in his first term when the only major piece of legislation he passed was a tax cut for millionaires and billionaires.

they re-up that tax cut again and since then trump is and you know enshrouded the oval office in gold built himself a ballroom bought himself a qatari jet that we paid for to the tune of a billion dollars to retrofit and on and on so this guy obviously had no intention of following through on any of those things but i think it can be instructive for democrats to recognize hey there is a swath of very disillusioned disaffected people out there uh who left the democrats to go to trump and now we're leaving trump because they know that he isn't willing to deliver
