What voters say that they want actually was talking to Dems right now is a real is funny because it's just a bunch of it is like it's black women and it's it's. older white men, everybody sort of agrees, we need a straight white man who's not a politician.

It's like everyone has really internalized this idea that everybody is too racist, because people will be like, you know, I love Pete Buttigieg, but we're never electing a gay guy. Or I love, you know, Jasmine Crockett, but we're never electing a black, like everybody's just like, who is a white straight man who's also not part of like the Democratic firmament?

And then, you know, everybody just goes, Mark Cuban. Yeah. Uh, like if you raise Mark Cuban to voters, they're all like, yeah, that guy, or they bring it up. Uh, and so, and what they mean is can we get our own bro-ish billionaire who can go on every podcast and talk normally, but also basically shares our values.

Bombastic, but not cruel. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Like he's on a TV show and apparently we're doing that now. So.

Well, and that is I mean, I just I kind of keep wanting to say to Democrats, like, don't I don't want you to believe that we're too racist and sexist country or too homophobic. Because I'm sorry, but most like a lot of your best stars, a lot of your bench doesn't meet this criteria. Yeah.

It depends which people look. So I actually maybe I'll try to split it into three buckets. So the Trump fans write your MAGA voters. The number one thing, their takeaway. And this last night he leaned into this, which is he's doing stuff and he's doing it fast. He's like, yeah, it's like the action. And they don't.

I don't really know what all these executive orders are about, but I know he's signing a lot of them. And they're saying, you know, I see ice trucks in my neighborhood, so I know they're doing something about immigration. And so there's really that bucket of love and they love what Doge is doing. What is it doing? They don't know. But, like, it is doing stuff and they see the action.

And I think for what has become a real impatient American way of, like, I do not want to wait for the Congress to pass all that. Just do a thing that helps, which I think is not great for our system of government. But there just is this sense of I'm not waiting for you all to get get it together and compromise like Trump is doing stuff. That's good. OK, so that's one bucket.

Then I would say there's I wrote a piece for The Atlantic yesterday. I was like, why do you you literally have this other media company?

I am the worst. I am the worst. He, I deserve, I deserve. But like the, they just hound me more than he does. I don't know. They were, I was, I had been doing a series of focus groups with kind of the low level they're not hard partisans, but they voted for Trump. I've done a lot of Biden to Trump voters.
