They want to hear those stories because they run over and over in a loop in their minds in so many ways.

The second point off of that, it's really interesting what Trump's economy is.

It's really three things.

It's the market, Wall Street, it's 401ks, right?

And it's tariffs.

That's it.

That's it.

And so now he's sort of reaching out and saying, hey, I'm going to give your child $1,000 a year for 18.

I'm still trying to figure out how $18,000 over 18 years grows to $100,000.

But OK, there may be some good math there.

But this is his way of trying to connect the dot with everyday folks that he's abandoned.

and left to the side of the economic road.

The last point, and this goes to the governor of Virginia, I'm not a fan of the speech after the speech for a whole host of reasons.

For a whole lot of reasons Lawrence and I could probably identify with over the years.

Because in many respects, unless you're prepared to take that moment and tell the country what you're going to do,

Don't talk to me.

I mean, regardless of what Donald Trump says or George Bush or Barack Obama, the opposing party should come in that moment and said, you just heard this, but let me tell you what we're prepared to put on the floor tomorrow.

And that's how we begin to reignite an idea around policy and around parties kind of trying to solve problems.

There was a good speech.

I'm not gonna take it from the governor.
