We need everyone to have a stake in America, and you can't have a society, you can't have a nation half prosperous and half in decline.

70% of Americans don't believe in the American dream.

And if we're going to have a Democratic Party that just says, okay, we're going to stop Trump's craziness, and we're going to get back in there, and we're going to do business as usual, and yeah, we won't have the ICE raids, and we won't do dumb tariffs, and we're not going to insult Mark Carney,

but we're just going to allow the income inequality to continue, especially with AI, then you're going to have someone like Nick Fuentes come in 2032.

We need to get in there and we need to tackle the fundamental economic divide that has ripped this country apart, that has fueled such an anger at the elites, at globalization, at the demographic change.

And that to me, I call it a new economic patriotism, that to me should be our philosophy with a new moral vision.

It was like, who is this guy?

There weren't armies there.
