I realize those are vastly different things, but those are actually two things that have a huge amount of the president's focus and attention.

And just to go back to this thing that I have not been able to stop thinking about since the president first put out that video announcing the action.

They didn't build the case.

They have not created an environment where people say, oh, my gosh, this is going to require sacrifice.

But it's worth it because the president and the administration explained why it was absolutely necessary at this moment.

They never built people up for the sacrifice.

And now the sacrifice is happening.

Yeah, I mean, at least since October, they've been promising that he is going to travel to do lots of economic speeches and

in states that are going to be important to the midterms.

And he is going to Ohio this week.

On Wednesday, he's going to Cincinnati area.

In theory, he will be making an economic address there.

But the president has put a lot of his domestic focus, actually, on something called the SAVE Act, or he's calling it the SAVE America Act, which would require the

proof of citizenship in order to vote, to register to vote.

And in fact, over the weekend, in amongst social media posts about a lot of different things, including the war, he said that as president, he will not sign other bills until this is passed.

The problem is it doesn't have the votes in the Senate to make it over a filibuster.

But the president is really beating this drum and at the moment making it the centerpiece of his entire agenda for Congress for what remains of the second year.

I will remind you, and you don't need reminding, that in the State of the Union address, he talked about the SAVE Act and he explicitly said that Democrats can only win if they cheat.

So he is laying groundwork for something.

He is certainly laying groundwork for something.
