We need to rebuild the middle class and people who aspire to the middle class so that they make enough money so that they can afford to have a house, educate their kids, pay for health insurance, and retire without being scared. Until we start talking about that as our main issues to people again, we're going to keep on losing the working class.

As long as we're focused on some of the cultural issues and some of the things that like, you know, why are you so worried about... This guy who came here is undocumented and committed a crime. And I'm not making enough money to take care of my family. I don't have a health insurance or a pension anymore. What about me? What are you doing about me? So we got to get back to The basics.

One last thing. When Trump was first elected in 2016, I went to a big meeting at the DCCC. People were sitting around a table, 50 people. And one union guy says, the Democrats used to show up at church picnics and at the bars and they would talk to you. They don't do that anymore. And that's the problem.

When I first started talking about the border in my special election to take the seat that George Santos was kicked out of, and I was talking about the border, everybody's like, why are you talking about the border? That's a Republican issue. I was like, this is what everybody's talking about. We have to stop listening to the consultants and start listening to the people that we represent again.

Yeah. I mean, politics, you know, goes in waves. And, you know, right now we're on the downswing of our wave. We are in trouble. We have to get back to to talking about what people care about and talking to the people.

I think that's more of a tactical thing. You know, the media is fractured now. That's why I'm on your show.

I mean, the bottom line is the media. We have the there's five parts of the media now. Traditional media, which is your local daily newspaper and your local channels and your cable news and, you know, the New York Times and the New York Post for me and, you know, other traditional media. Weekly paper is very important. Anybody who reads a weekly paper, your local paper, they're definitely voting.

I always say my voters are not on social media, they're on social security. You have traditional media. Then you have social media, and that's about organizing people that are there. It's not about saying extreme crazy stuff, which I'll never end up doing that. It's about organizing people that think the way you do to get them to repost your stuff.
