The Brett Cooper Show · Democrats Are Rebranding, And It’s Insufferable | Episode 17 · 27 Mar 2025
podcast
It's just total policy failures. You have Governor Newsom, who is spending more time on his rebrand than he is on our failing school system, right? Our failing health care. The fact that people
don't feel super safe in these sanctuary cities anymore in spite of him telling us we should feel safe but no we actually don't feel safe we are a compassionate state one of the most compassionate places to live in the world but but it's turning to the point where it's it's not compassion it's just blatant mismanagement and a slap in the face of hardworking California taxpayers.
It's a strategy that has worked for a really long time, just flood the field with chaos and narratives and euphemisms. And then people just will pick up on the sound bits that they're hoping people will pick up on.
Wow. Terribly, terribly.
I think the Democrat Party is surrounded by individuals still playing the old game and the thing is is they can get away with it because they have so much money they have so much money because they have Silicon Valley top donor money and they have Hollywood top donor money so that's why they're just kind of spiraling out because they don't have they're not forced to change yet financially the financial incentives
to be better and to be more honest and truthful aren't there.
They're still just relying on these top donors that are so out of touch with the average American. I mean, I was one of them for many years and I was so blind to what was going on in America. And I was seeing just a very superficial version of everything that was being presented to me.
through you know this world of political consultants and politicians in the party itself there's this whole world of political consultants and they think they know politics better than anybody and they will sit down across from a politician and like tell you how it is and as a politician if your goal is to become a career politician and to win
you listen to these folks and they'll connect you with X, Y, and Z and it's this whole pyramid scheme. They're calling for change and the change is gonna happen when we take down this pyramid scheme and we start finding individuals to vote for who are outside of that scheme entirely.
we knew that what she was going through was real and tulsi is another great example and nicole pointed to her directly tulsi's journey is really incredible i have nothing but respect for her and um i think that what we've seen even is only the half of what she's actually experienced her lifetime career legacy um is going to be one that we're going to look back on and say you know they
they threw not just the media because they turn it up it starts with the media and then they start using institutional levers and they just kept turning it up on her and she kept persevering um and and so framing her as you know an at like an enemy of the country or Putin's puppet I mean all of these things that they've tried to frame her as which and she's not
But she's overcome each of them with such a steady hand and so much grace. And every time she goes out and talks to the public, there's not a waver or shake in her voice. It's really, it has been something for me to look at and admire from afar. She really did it step by step and very intentionally. And that really worked in her benefit.
I mean, my advice is, you know, go back to first principles. What is it to be a leader? And when people get fixated on a campaign to define who they are, both politically, personally, and professionally, that's so shallow. And you will be a fractured human being as long as you live your life that way. Yes, you can pivot your attention from one thing to another, but
You know, put policy before politics. Put people before politics. If you're not someone that can do that, you are not a leader. You are a puppet. So be a leader. People really want leadership right now.
I'm good. How are you? Just running around. Big week last week. And here we are on Monday waiting for these confirmation votes. So very, very, very big week. Excited, you know, all eyes are on Cassidy, but I think really all eyes are on this movement, the coming together of Maha and Maga, really seeing how Maga has stepped up to protect this allegiance. So impressed and so grateful.
Well, and I have to give a lot of credit, Dave, to the libertarians in this, because let me tell you, there are a few steps that had to happen before many of the Kennedy folks felt even comfortable considering joining Team Trump. And it was there were you know, I see it very clearly the libertarian annual meeting. was one of those really big steps that happened.
You guys invited over both Kennedy and Trump to give speeches. And many of the individuals who the libertarians love and platform, including Massey, including Ron Paul, including Rand Paul. They were ones that were willing to talk to us and cross party lines. Those Liberty Republicans will cross party lines through the Libertarian Party. to connect to other groups on issues.
And that wouldn't have happened had the Libertarian Party not been such a collective of individuals who are piecing together these issues. And in such an incredible... The libertarians have a moral high ground, I've realized through this past year, that you don't see at all anywhere within the Democratic Party.
And you kind of only see with the liberty Republicans within the Republican sphere of influence. And that cannot be understated how valuable what the libertarians delivered for this coming together. I actually don't think that Maha and MAGA would have come together had it not been for the libertarian platform being open to exploring, you know, supporting another candidate, which was huge.
And I don't think anyone's called that out yet. And I wanted to do that now because we're on the precipice of such a big week of confirmations of Tulsi, who also benefited from the Libertarians platforming her, giving her a place to go, supporting her. And the Libertarians are incredible in that they will find individuals not within the party to support and to just throw their love behind.
