Now, for the voters who are the marginal voters whom Trump brought into his coalition in 2016, then again in 2020 and even bigger in 2024.

I'm not talking about the mega hardcore.

The mega hardcore, if he converted to Shiite Islam tomorrow, they would continue to support him.

But I'm talking about those marginal voters, half of Hispanic men, a fifth of African-American men, young men who are anti-war.

For those people, what stood out about Trump was that unlike Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, the kind of old Republican party of 2015, he would say, I'm gonna protect your entitlements and the foreign wars have been a disaster.

This is the complete reversal from that because he's saying Medicaid, Medicare, all of these things are under the chopping block potentially, and it should be a state problem.

Maybe we give them some discount, which is not how they're set up, certainly not for Medicare.

But what is not on the chopping block is the war I just launched in Iran, which at a minimum is going to cost $200 billion, which is what is being asked for from Congress.

So that's like...

Literally a switcheroo.

And I'm sorry, I know that was not from the address he gave us.

I didn't hear anything new in the address last night.

No clear timetable, you know, no sense of... Even, like, again, the shifting of the mission.

Is it to open the strait?

Is it to denuclearize?

Is it regime change?

All of these things, depending on which Trump you ask or which member of the cabinet, it shifts literally every 12 hours.

So, whatever.

It was another address.

It sounds like we're in for the big war.
