And this is the thing that's different to the polling I think is so interesting between 2017 and now, because ever since Trump got elected that first term, Democrats and liberals have been feeding out on almost a decade of not just Trump has a wrong ideology or Trump has bad policies. Trump is a fascist. Trump is a Hitler figure. Trump's here to end American democracy.

Trump is a stooge of the Kremlin. And if you really start feeding on those kinds of ideas and that kind of demonization and come to believe it, I think it makes sense to feel like, oh, we shouldn't be cooperating with Trump. The problem is, is that all of the things that liberals seem to want in these polls, that's all been tried.

What did we hear throughout the last three to four months of the 2024 election? Trump is a fascist. Trump admires Hitler. Trump is going to end democracy. Trump is a stooge of Putin. These things have all been all over the place and they don't work. People don't believe that about Donald Trump. And that's why I think Democrats are so lost, this idea that we need to attack Trump even more.

They have the media who has been doing that. The Democratic Party has been doing that. And apparently they just want to double down on this strategy that clearly isn't working for them.

I think here's the reality, though, that for me, at least, is underpinning all of this, which is and this is something that actually Donald Trump said often and loudly in the 2016 campaign throughout 2015 in the primary and then into 2016 in the election, which is that the Republican Party establishment and the Democratic Party establishment, which is absolutely represented by people like Chuck Schumer and Hockey Jeffries.

have a great deal in common with one another. They have differences like on social issues with abortion and trans issues and some of these kinds of cultural issues, they definitely have differences there that make it seem like they're constantly at each other's throat. But when it comes to economic policy, foreign policy, Their differences are really not that great.

Obama said that, too, that the Republicans are trying to depict him as this radical, when in reality, the Republican and Democratic parties fight within the 40-yard line. So when it comes to these demands that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries or the Democrats or whatever do more to fight Trump and attack Trump, it seems like they just want this kind of...

This sort of imagery of fighting, this kind of surface fight, but there's nothing for them to really fight on. Now, Trump won in 2016, in my view, because he ran against both the Republican and the Democratic Party establishments. He had to do because his main opponent in the primary was Jeb Bush, the ultimate figure of the Republican establishment. And he still continues to do that.
