The party doesn't even resemble his party. Trump's base was Mario Cuomo's base.
So the theory, the argument for Democrats with Pop, okay? What was Pop? He was you. Not even, right? Because you were born somewhere else. Pop was first-generation American, not seen as white. Pop got described a lot of the ways that you deal with when people start exposing you, right? Well, he's an ethnic. He's swarthy. You know, he's an other, right? I'm a white guy, okay? My father wasn't.

My father wasn't.
So he was speaking for people like that. They say we're not good enough. They say we don't belong. They say that they get to tell us how to be and who we are and that we don't get to succeed or fail on our own merits. I'm going to fight them. He was the original anti-elitist. When my father found out I was being recruited, I wanted to go to an Ivy League school. He was so disappointed.

When my father found out I was being recruited, I wanted to go to an Ivy League school. He was so disappointed.
He was only disappointed that much one other time in my life. which was when I decided to leave the law and finance and go into the media. His joke was, why can't you do something that matters more to society, like sell crack? That was his feeling when I went into the media. But when I wanted to go to an Ivy League school, he was like, do you know what they think of me?

But when I wanted to go to an Ivy League school, he was like, do you know what they think of me?
Do you know what those people thought about me? And that was his sell to people. I know they think you're not good enough. They're wrong. And their rules will not apply to all of us. That was the sell, the working man. What was the union about? Civil liberties. And what is the government keeping us from? That was his sell. And it was what was his tagline?

All the government you need, but only the government you need. That was his tagline. What is it now? It's welcome to the freak show. The Democrats flipped their narrative to, hey, this culture war keeps beating us. So let's have our own version of it, which is inclusion, acceptance. And anybody who doesn't want to include and accept as we do, we'll get rid of.

And that's why their numbers are where they are. The AOC mentality. Look, I'm not a straight hater on AOC. I respect success. She's built a real following for herself. There's no question. You got to respect that. She's got passion and she's got purpose. But this is politics. And her calling Musk an idiot.

Look. It's I know their numbers are very underwater. And again, it makes sense. By the way, nobody's doing well. Republicans just had an historic victory that nobody thought would happen. They're underwater. Trump has better numbers. Let's see where he is in five months. You know, he's at 46. He could easily be at 42, which is where most presidents are.

So but within that structure, what do we see? OK, they lost this election by like this much, but they never lose the popular vote. It's very rare.

The issues that they campaigned on to win are, are in the major population centers that minorities are disadvantaged by Republican policies, that the working class are disadvantaged by Republican fiscal policies, and that Trump is crazy.

and that you have a brand of conservatives that are radical Christian, and if they're not Christian, they're just radical conservative that is bad for America as a place for everyone. Those are their three big spots.
