I'm not talking about you, Tommy, but I'm just saying the Democratic Party, it boggled the mind. It boggled the mind. It still does.

Get Trump like. What I mean by that, Tom, is be your real, true, authentic self for better or worse. Can you genuinely tell me as a person who covers this stuff for a living that Trump surprises you? What? Think about how he acts. Think about the things that he says. And then he goes and he tries to do it for better or worse. He's letting you know, I don't care. I'm not a politician.

I'm not a career politician. I don't listen. The man doesn't even want to be in the White House. Every chance he gets, he's at Mar-a-Lago. You don't even want to be there. OK, he wants to run the country from his resort for crying out loud. He might want to use the Air Force One plane. OK, so he don't have to spend his own money with his gas and everything else. But he'd rather.

But that's about it. The man wants to be where he wants to be. He wants to do what he wants to do. He wants to show you every chance he gets that he is nothing like the career politicians. He is nothing like. like what you have witnessed for decades on Capitol Hill. He says Capitol Hill needs to be purged. What is he doing? He's trying to purge Capitol Hill. You understand?

Meanwhile, we had Kamala Harris, Ms. Prim and proper, tries to say the right things, listening to her party, Talk to her about this is the way to go over the last 107 days to win an election, etc. And guess what? It wasn't resonating. You go on The View and The View says, is there anything, anything at all about Joe Biden? that you would do differently, that you would change.

And she looked into the cameras and said, I can't think of any. What? What? I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, you can't do that because it's not just about your answer. It's about the believability factor. You see, even when Trump is lying, you believe that he believes that What he's saying and what he says he's going to do, even if he's lying to himself, you sit up there, you look it up.

Look, man, you can't just eradicate departments like that. You can't just violate civil liberties like you can't just sit up there and make your own rules and subvert the Constitution and try to get a third term in office, whatever. But who doubts he's going to try? Who doubts that he's going to try to pull that off? Whatever it is that he says, there is an authenticity

That comes with it in terms of how it resonates to the American people who are salty and skeptical with vile feelings towards Capitol Hill. That's where the connection happens. Well, if you are somebody on the Democratic side and you feel that way, where's your vitriol? Where's your disgust? Where's your aversion to the status quo and what you aim to do about it? That's what people want to see.

But tell why. But tell why. You don't have, you can't compete with that and you don't have that. I'm not talking about you specifically, of course. I know, I know. About Democratic Party. You don't know that and you can't compete with that for the biggest reason of all.

Because y'all are too busy trying to pick candidates for the American people instead of listening to the American people tell you who they want. The last Democrat that the American people told you they wanted was Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton, it's her turn. Bernie Sanders had momentum. It's Hillary's turn.
