Overexposed: The Truth and Troubles of Left Politics

So, you know, when they all talk about Elon, why don't they just say stuff like that? Why don't we just, why doesn't the left just say, look at this wonderful program.

into the government each year of thousands of households and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. So why doesn't she just say... I'm very proud of what we're doing. Don't cut it. She's a wonderful steward of your money. But they never do that. They just scream and yell, constitutional crisis, and they never actually address the cut.

You know, because of this podcast, I get emails now maybe three a day. And they're from people like the following. I am a Forest Service lifetime ranger, and I clean the trails, and I'm going to lose my job. Or I have been a soil chemist for EPA, Victor, and you need to point out that we're all losing our jobs. And I have no way to adjudicate that, right, with the program.

But the other thing, very quickly, Jack, is And I'm not criticizing Elon, whom I praised to the skies, but they need to get a better narrative and the sense that it's tragic. In other words, you don't want to act like you're getting scalps. You've got to say something along the following. We didn't create the problem. You people, you were the revolutionaries. You hired all these people.

You were the one that spent $7 trillion. You were the one that opened the border. You were the one that let in 12 million people. You were the one that canceled Keystone and put 650,000 acres off. You were the cancer. And it was not sustainable with 37 trillion. So then we came in and we are the ones, it's very easy to hire people and get patronage.

It's very hard to say there's no money and have to lay them off. We don't like doing that. It's very easy to let in 12 million people and say, ha, ha, ha. It's very hard to find them and tell them you have to go home. You entered under illegal auspices. Very easy to destroy the border. Very hard to build a wall and reconstruct it. Very easy with it. Just say, oh, we're not going to have Anwar.

We're not going to have Keystone. It's very hard to get those projects resurrected. So my point is... We are the counter-revolutionaries, and we've had the most radical revolution in our history. And it's not easy to undo what Joe Biden did and earlier Obama. And we're not bragging about putting people out of work.

We feel bad, but we feel worse for the taxpayers who are strapped and have to give money to an irresponsible federal government. And they have to have more. They're starting to do that. They had a wonderful press conference. I looked at it on YouTube yesterday. Jack with Caroline Levitt. She brought out Kevin Hassert, who's wonderful.
