And they infuse that into Tim Walz. And there's a lot of Democratic Party leaders who have that sort of hesitation when they speak. And even the ones who are now trying to say, like, let's fight, let's fight is an easy thing to say. That's still, again, saying we're not Trump. We have to resist what Trump is doing. But what would you be doing? You know, what do you want to see different?

And they still seem just very petrified to say out of fear of offending voters and donors and consultants in the media. And that ultimately is the thing that not political junkies, but just like ordinary citizens who pay some attention to politics, but not constantly. That's the thing they feel more than anything.

Oh, God, it's so cringy. I mean, the contrast between these two things is really interesting, right? Because Gavin Newsom is actually angering the liberal base because while you are looking at this from the perspective of people like Charlie Kirk or Steve Bannon, I guess you had Michael Savage, someone else coming on shortly in that vein, that they're helping Gavin Newsom.
