I'm not sure it translates on television because, Buck, you're going to do Fox News in a little bit, and I know Fox News has a massive audience, but from a social media perspective, it often feels like basically television exists so that small segments of television can be clipped and shared on social media, whether it's TikTok, whether it's Instagram Reels, whether it's Twitter.

If you go on and look at, oftentimes, what is popular or what is trending... A huge percentage of the time, it's somebody taking a couple of minutes from video. It doesn't just have to be television, right? It could be a podcast version of video, whatever else that's popular on YouTube. It is just video that's pulled and then put to circulate on social media.

So I guess one of the things I wonder about, because we're talking about Scott Jennings, is to what extent is what's popular on social media reflective of what would be popular on television? And in many ways, given the fact that television is running into video all over the Internet, what does television even exist and look like in the years ahead?

What I do know is Democrats have lost the ability. If you look at that video they put up of all the women boxing and everything else. to connect with younger people on social media. They just look profoundly dorky and unfun, and that is not a good recipe for how to cut through in this current era.

And I think it's emblematic of why Republicans have done so well with men, because men look at some of the stuff that's being put out by Democrats and just roll their eyes over the fact that they have gone completely insane.

I think there are two things that build out of that. One, they have not reached the look in the mirror and acknowledged that you have a bad message, and that's why people didn't vote for you, not because your message wasn't heard well enough. That's the debate that they're currently having. Second part of this, Buck, and this is where I think they're going to end up,

I think they will move from Trump is Hitler, watch how fast this happens, and clip this, save it for a couple of years in the future. As we get ready for 28, this pivot's going to happen. They're going to move from Trump is Hitler to Trump is a uniquely talented politician that Republicans cannot replicate, and that's why he won in 2016 and 2024. Initially, it was Russia. Then it's he's Hitler.
