Let's take a look now.

I told you it was gonna be a weave at Jasmine Crockett.

Well, let's first play JD Vance on Jasmine Crockett.

This is from Sunday S3.

This is the turning point speech.

All right, so Jasmine Crockett then responded.

This was also on Sunday, S4.

When I get to the Senate floor, now Jasmine Crockett, of course, is running in what I believe to be the most interesting Democratic primary of 2026 against Timu Richie Cunningham, James Tallarico down in Texas.

They want to take on John Cornyn or, to be fair, whoever wins that Texas Republican primary.

for Crockett to say, on the one hand, it is a racist trope to refer to her as a street girl from J.D.

Vance, and then to say, on the other hand, she is just totally authentic.

You see the struggles of the nascent Crockett Senate campaign because she wants to pretend now that she didn't intentionally talk

like she was on the street about Republicans and about other Democrats, which she did.

I mean, I call it I wrote a piece recently calling it stylistic populism or something like that.

I don't even remember my own quote, but and that's different from like policy populism.

Crockett wants you to think that she's populist because of the way that she acts, but she wants to govern the way Hakeem Jeffries says, right?

The way the Democratic establishment wants her to.

And so that's not authentic.

And I think people, the more she tries to be a different version of Jasmine Crockett, now that she knows she has to run statewide and not just in her district, are going to be able to see if she really wants to push that she's authentic.

If that's going to be her message, people are going to be able to see
