at this point, do not feel like a party or a movement that is actually winning.

So they can keep trying to tell themselves this, that they're winning, but are they actually winning?

I think as evidenced by that type of a moment, it feels a lot like, you know, remember we would see these instances over the last several years in the lead up to the 2024 election where they would confront Trump-aligned people in public places.

It never worked out for them.

And so I think that if they continue to behave like this, we're going to see a very different debate and whatnot going into next year.

And I think that as the economic numbers continue to surge back, again, you see the inflation numbers today.

And to your point, too, about the increased economic nationalist agenda, right?

More deportations, not less, right?

Like more border enforcement, not less.

More tariffs, not less, right?

So these 1776 bonuses that are going out to the warriors, the warrior dividends is what the president's calling them, that's because of the tariffs, right?

That costs $2.5 billion or something like that.

But that's a drop in the bucket because of the tariff revenue, right?

Like they can do all sorts of great things with the tariff revenue.

So they need to just keep drilling down on this and using America's economic leverage.

That's the whole America First experiment.

And it's being proven correct day in and day out here after the hole that we had to dig out of.

Correct.

And by the way, I would say to your point about the Republican establishment, they're still out there.

They're still plotting, right?
