It's interesting because the rhetoric is so out of whack with what most people think of the country. Even because most of what they're running onto me seems like radical anti-American ideas and all of the woke stuff. And then the other day, Hakeem Jeffries was suddenly talking about American exceptionalism. And it's like, well, pick one guy. It's

going on here. But

then I kind of think that that's almost baked in. It's like we say every extreme thing. So people have no freaking clue what's going on here.

And then you get left holding the hat like, Hey, I'm trying to be honest. Right. The intellectually honest and consistent people, yeah, do get left holding the hat a lot of times. Because sometimes my own side wants me to like really go extreme. And I'm like, that's not really intellectually honest to whatever the example is. And so I tend to look for people on the other side who also share that same kind of intellectual honesty and consistency who kind of maintain some sort of consistent equilibrium. AOC is not one of those people. Like it just to be clear.

I just I get it. I don't even mean to make it about her. I just she says these things and I'm like, man, I know you don't believe this lady. I

always say she's larping. She's live. Yeah, yeah, it's true. I mean, Huckem Drefree said the same stuff on the parents bill of rights thing. He was saying the same things like book burning. They want to stop teaching the Holocaust. The Holocaust we played. They're like, what are you talking about? Like it's it's completely bananas. I do. That being said, as just a Republican strategist putting that hat on, I like it when they do that because it's so easy to debunk. You know, it was like the Georgia election law, the Texas election laws, those were so easy to debunk. They looked ridiculous and they did lose those battles. So it does drive us crazy when they do that, but we do also have to take a step back, think about it unemotionally and think this is an opportunity, right? Because it's so easy to fact check them. They've gone they've miscalculated. They've gone too far. It's an opportunity for us to win over those independents who are like, you know, I don't like that they lied to me. I believed it for a second. But then you show me this and I read it and it's not like that. And that's an opportunity for us. So I can tell you really want to talk about the McCarthy fight for at least 17 minutes. 17 minutes. 17 minutes.
