Tiger Sisters · The Real Rules of Power in America (How to Use Them) with Rahm Emanuel · 27 Apr 2026 podcast

I'm contrasting two different presidents, two different styles.

But in the end of the day, they had a wide reach.

Let me say this.

I used to, in my analysis of both loving reading history of presidents, but also working for two, you know, a president has to be, I'm saying this metaphorically, has to be bilingual.

you got to be able to be conversant, not only in the boardroom, but the break room as well.

And not every person can do that.

I mean, just straight up, they can't kind of navigate the two, I'm using two different rooms.

I happen to think the White House, in the Oval, you have to be,

Converse into the family room.

The classroom, the break room, the boardroom, and the situation room.

My concern with Democrats is they spend four years in the bathroom and they haven't gotten themselves out of it yet.

But you gotta be multilingual rather than bilingual.

You gotta be able to converse in a level comfortable with each of those rooms.

And both presidents, while they had their own style that was natural to who they were, were capable of that.

That's what makes them successful.

Roosevelt was like that.

When you think about it, Teddy Roosevelt was like that.

The successful presidents, there's a dimension of communication to a wider public.

It's the only national office we have.

And so you've got to be able to speak to people where they are.
