Well, I think that what it shows is that the past 40 years of economic policy, bipartisan economic policy, have failed.

I think a lot of people look at El-Sayed or a lot of these other radical candidates and they say socialism is evil.
voice-verified
They're right.
voice-verified
Socialism is evil.
voice-verified
But we have to ask ourselves the question, why is socialism so appealing to a lot of people who, to your point, have lower assets, who don't have the same ownership, who went to universities and were sold a bill of goods?
voice-verified
They got a lot of debt, but they didn't necessarily get the good jobs that came along with that high debt load.
voice-verified
And I think our answer to that, and by the way, you've already seen a lot of it in the Trump administration, is number one, protect American manufacturing.
voice-verified
The manufacturing economy is the foundation of the middle class.
voice-verified
We see this in Europe, we saw it in the United States.
voice-verified
Every country that sells its industrial base to the highest foreign bidder loses its middle class and sees socialism come on the back end.
voice-verified
What I think is actually going to happen is these socialist candidates, they've caught the tail end of an economy that wasn't working for most Americans.
voice-verified
Unfortunately for them, the Trump economy has made long-term investments in rebuilding that manufacturing base and making America energy independent and actually making it possible to own a home, to have a family, to build the real elements of middle class life again.
voice-verified
Number two, they have a fractured system.

So there are people within their system who want the war to be over.

There are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who want the war to continue.

What I do think is interesting is that you have people who will attack what the president of the United States has said, but they don't want to use his name because they know that the president of the United States is too big a fish for them.
matched
So they'll come after me or they'll come after somebody else in the administration.
matched
That's my job, Laura.
matched
And if the worst thing that happens over the next couple of years is that I take some flack for the president in order to make his administration more successful, I think he'll be happy about that.
matched
Well, first of all, if they want to make me own the effort to try to bring this war to a successful conclusion, I'm happy to let them make me own it.
