I'm out. I support Joe Biden clearly the Whoever that is, because you're right, we're not in the room to see, is it the Obamas? Is it consultants like Carville or Axelrod or whoever? Who is in that room? But whoever's in that room, they have a plan when it gets to the end. And I never thought Joe Biden was going to be the candidate.

No.

No.

Yeah, no. I would say that. Watching from the outside, again, we're not on the inside of the Democrat machine, but watching from the outside, that's a top-down process. On the Republican side, that's a bottom-up process. And Donald Trump is the best example of it.

Because people in this town, especially in the house where I serve, are like, we got the American people. We have a mandate. And you've got to remind them, yeah, no. No. No, Donald Trump has a mandate. He got 77 million votes. We got a little less than 75 million. So if you're looking at who literally is expanding this party and pulling this party over the line, It's one guy. It's Donald Trump.

I can only tell you the experience I've had with one of my Minnesota colleagues who, I won't name him, but he might have run against the sitting president. We were talking on the House floor one day, and I was complaining to him, or giving him a hard time, I should say, about some of the off-color remarks coming from the squad. And he made a point of telling me... Off-color how?

Well, let's just say there were some anti-Semitic comments all about the Benjamins, this stuff. And there was a censure that was being worked on. Oh, wow. Yeah. And it was public. But the point is, when I was saying, boy, you've had quite a week, he goes, oh, yeah. He says, that's a very small group of people in our party with very large voices.

And my response to him was, OK, well, that might be true, but... then people like you have to stand up and speak up and take my grandfather's Democrat Party back.

And so, no, I think they've got a problem. Identity politics, which they've perfected and been playing for years, it has now come back to bite them. And there's, where is the way out? They don't have a brand. They don't know who they are. They're fighting about things like men participating in women's sports. I mean, It just it isn't resonating with the American people.

So they're going to have to figure that out for the future. But on our side, we're going to have to figure out Donald Trump is the one that pulled this across the line. Here's the problem with the Republican Party for me.

The last 30 years, we've had great people representing us, but the public has been very frustrated because it seems like government and the bureaucrats always get a better deal than the average citizen in this country. We're talking about Main Street.

We're not talking about Silicon Valley, which has its own Main Street, but I'm talking about just good old Main Street, USA, where it's rural country. It's people who are just trying to live their lives. They feel like their government hasn't been listening to them for years. This is what's on the Tea Party. This is why we've had this over and over. And Donald Trump, you got to give him credit.
