And so there are parts of more progressive populist economics and there are parts of, you know, my abundance colleagues that I think together, that is the future for Democrats and can frankly put us in a strong position to unite to fight against Donald Trump in this moment.

Yeah. And look, I have problems, I think, with that framing. And I'll tell you why. I think the fighting instinct and the very honest view of power and who has it and who's in the way is the part that my populist instinct gets clearly. And my colleagues in that point of view, I think, get that. The growth part that the abundance crowd is, I think, focused on is correct.

Like we have to have growth. There are obstacles and people with power and institutions of power who are blocking that, which to me, I think is maybe missing from the analysis there. But I look at this, I'm like, look, People should have a bigger piece of the pie and we got to grow it. And I think that is a glue that we can have Democrats unite around.

We'll have to pick some fights and I love a good fight, believe me. But I think that's where we go. And I think it is... You know, a real contrast to Trump's phony fake populism. I mean, this is real stuff, right? Fighting against monopolies, getting whoever is in the way of us getting more affordable housing to people, making sure life's not a ripoff.

Like we will have some fights and that's a good thing. And it will expose how fake Trump's stuff is. That's just, you know, talking points about caring about working people.

So I'm in Western Pennsylvania, right? This is like a battleground within the battleground state. And, you know, Trump comes on the scene. You know, he's now been the nominee for the Republicans three presidential elections.

And I think he picked at, right, a weakness for Democrats, which was, you know, he was saying the things about NAFTA and saying the things about seeing manufacturing jobs go away and playing on some real frustration and anger that people in my part of the world still have.

And it was both Republicans and Democrats in power across decades who caused the death of, say, the glass factories in western Pennsylvania, a lot of the steel mills, you name it. Trump played on that. Now, his answer is ridiculous, right? The trade war he's starting is not working. It's causing tons of pain. It's destabilizing world markets. Tariffs alone don't work. But he's played on that.
