And you've got obviously a socialist left that says the answer is socialism.

You've got Republicans who tend to say, this is not a problem at all.

Then you got where I think of as the center, or at least what I would like to be the center of my party, which is saying, yeah, we've got to do things.

We got to lean in.

We got to use the tools of the state, not in a socialist way, but in a way to try to have things be more balanced in this country.

Is there a contest between the center left and the far left or however you want to characterize it?

But then, you know, I mean, today's Republican Party is a coalition of normal Chamber of Commerce business Republicans, more the kind of tech Republicans who, to me, are more libertarian, even though it puzzles me that they're for such dramatic government control over society right now and Trump.

But whatever.

My point is you have you have normal business Republicans, you have techno libertarians, you've got.

Economic populists who are in many ways to the left of even left of center in some weird ways on trade and some issues like that.

Then you got white nationalists.

I don't know that they can coexist for long if they're not held together by the awe of or fear of the personality of Donald Trump.

People keep imagining maybe what if we had a third party?

I look at other countries that have, it's not unusual in a lot of other modern countries to have four, five, six, seven parties.

In some ways, it feels on its face like that would make more sense in the US.

But I think the reality in practice is anytime somebody tries to go off and start a third party, it just winds up screwing it up for one of the other two.

And we're right back where it started.

I think that he is right to draw attention to the problem of the border and that it is important to have a secure border.

I don't believe it was true that it was exactly open before.

I think it is functionally closed now.
