David, you're just talking branding. You can brand it however you want. No, the Democrats said they're the party of democracy.

And warp speed and Operation Warp Speed.

And actually, the negative wasn't so much that. Sorry, Chamath. The negative wasn't so much he continued it. The negative is the hypocrisy in his approach.

So I'll start with the negatives first. So just so you know that there's a lot of them. One, the way they handled the border was horrific. There's no way to say it any differently. Now, I understand why they took the approach they did. Literally, if I were in a Central American country and my family was at risk of getting shotgunned because there's a drug war,

I'm doing everything I can, and I recognize that if I just set foot on American soil, I have a chance for asylum, and I get that.
