Well, so let's actually stay with Bernie Sanders for a moment and talk a little bit about him. I mean, he's been holding these major rallies, pulling significant crowds. Most of his appearances have been in swing districts represented by Republicans. What is his message to voters and how is it resonating?

Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, tell me, though, is Sanders' message resonating with people? Obviously, he's drawing huge crowds, but what does it all mean? What's the effect that he's having?

And it sounds like, as you've mentioned, Sanders is very much sticking to his long running message, but maybe it's an effective time to be hearing and receiving that message for voters. Let's turn now and talk about Gavin Newsom and what he's been up to. I mean, he just launched a new podcast.

So far, he's had on some pretty hard right leaning guests, people like Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser. He's had on Charlie Kirk. He himself, Newsom, drew some backlash for some of his comments about transgender athletes on his podcast. What is Newsom's strategy right now?

Interesting. Well, maybe we should talk about what might be seen as the sort of Democratic Party establishment choice to elevate in this moment. We saw Senator Alyssa Slotkin was tapped to give the party's official response after Trump's joint speech to Congress. How does she fit into all of this? Or just maybe where more broadly is the party establishment in this moment?
