Stephanie Ruhle: Unlimited Money and No Rules

Yeah. So he ended up in this sour spot, right? Where like, We're like a lot of kind of college educated people that were already in the Biden tent got loans forgiven and did kind of give credit. But like, you know, there wasn't a lot and not a net gain. And then the people they were struggling with, working class folks, young folks are pissed about Gaza. We're hearing about it.

Like, where's my bag? Right. So I was just downstairs this morning and I was talking to the guy at the security guard at this hotel since I'm stuck at the Hotel California, Trump's inauguration week. I can never leave because I can't go home to New Orleans because of the snow.

And so but I've made friends with my guy downstairs and he starts ranting to me about the tick tock thing and the nine dollar congestion fee. He comes in from upstate. He's like, I got to pay the nine bucks now. I'm an hourly worker. He's like, maybe Trump's going to fix that for me. Like he fixed the TikTok thing.

So this guy says to me, whatever you think about the congestion fee and the student loan bailout and the TikTok ban, because I'm on two of those three. I'm on the Democratic side of the actual policy. But you also have to think about how people interact with stuff and how it engages with their lives. And they're so bad at talking about it and thinking about gimmicks that actually help people.

And I think that you've seen this on all of this stuff. You mentioned this AI thing. They're doing some regulation to protect people, but they're not messaging about it, so they get no credit for it. But they do get backlashes.

I totally agree. And it's hard to find Democrats right there who are out there who, like, can let it rip. And it's like there needs to be a deprogramming class. We can host a deprogramming seminar. We're not doing DEI seminars anymore, so we can maybe do talking, like talking like a human deprogramming seminar.

I'm not even advocating that they change positions on any of these things. It's like, but find things that resonate with people, right? Find gimmicks. That is politics. Unfortunately, that's politics. It might feel crass or whatever. And talk about it like normal people. It's hard to think about something that people can grab onto. They're like, oh, I'm excited that the Dems are pushing this.
