But I guess, you know, his strategy is I have to convince Democrats that not just that I'm the candidate they want, but that I'm the candidate that can win. Whereas, as you say, Chris Murphy has been told like, oh, the great approach is to go online and sound like, you know, a hardcore social media fanatic. And, you know, Megan, you see this so much.
Like, I don't know if you saw, like, when Chuck Schumer was doing his rounds of media stuff. He has this new book out about the crisis of anti-Semitism. But of course, like, in the course of doing this book, he's mostly being asked about this controversy that he's fallen into.

And he'll do things like, I saw this in three interviews at least, where he'll be like, and these guys in the White House, he's bastards. And then he's like, oh, sorry, I didn't mean that. Like as though he's just so enraged that he accidentally called them bastards. But he did it like three times, proving that it was scripted. And, you know, a lot of them- Did you hear me say bastards?

Yeah, exactly. I called them bastards. That's how you know I'm fighting. And, you know, he had that like thing where he went and did that chant like, we will win. We will win with those like elderly Democratic members of Congress surrounding him, one of whom was waving his cane.

And, you know, like, you know, like all these things that they keep asking, like, you know, who's going to be our liberal Joe Rogan? Or they see Trump using profanity and therefore they think that they have to use profanity to to relate to the ordinary person. It doesn't work like the reason Joe Rogan. became so popular is because he's so authentic. And he's open to all different things.

He's not a partisan. He's not an ideologue. And the reason people like Trump is because they know that even if they don't agree with him, he's never trying to deceive them or bullshit them by like, presenting a mask to them that isn't who they really are.

So when you have politicians like Kamala, who suddenly change accents based on who she's speaking to, or Democratic members of Congress who never used this kind of language before, who now suddenly want to sound like they're social media influencers, it's embarrassing. It's cringy. Yes, some hardcore Democrats will respond, but mostly it's just embarrassing.

With a blue base, yes. I mean, first of all, I have to say, I find it so funny when you ask a politician who's obviously extremely ambitious, oh, do you think, would you be willing to step up into this promotion, into this elevated political position? They have to pretend like, this is not something I've been thinking about. Like, Chris Murphy is drooling about being the Senate minority leader.
