And he, he,

has this technique that Scott talks about, which is using an anchor.

So he'll mention a number or a figure or an individual person.

And I tried looking for a number that was an anchor in the speech.

There wasn't really one because the anchors Trump usually uses are exaggerations.

But in this case, the numbers were all factually accurate.

You know, in core inflation is the lowest it's been in five years.

you know, all the different other numbers he uses, gas prices are below, and he gave the average national gas price.

So he used these anchors that were actual real anchors.

I think the anchors, in a sense, were the heroes in the room.

So Trump kind of made you think of him in a heroic way because he was connecting to all these heroes.

And I think there were some opportunities Democrats missed to show some unity.

They did stand up a little bit, but

I just think the country is watching.

My 10-year-old was watching it this morning.

He was in bed already by the time the speech happened last night, but he was watching it in the car on the way to school.

He just couldn't believe anybody would sit down for the hockey team or for the Medal of Honor winners.

He was just looking at me like, why did they sit down, Dad?

Yeah.

Well, I think, you know, we all see these events differently through Scott's eyes, I think.
