gave his joint address. We saw Democrats do all sorts of things. Some didn't show up.

Some wore protest T-shirts. Some walked out. Some held up little paddles saying, I don't like this.

But they all had one thing in common. All of their actions were widely panned as a bad idea.

They couldn't agree among themselves on what you were there.

I was there. I understood before going in there was disagreement about how to protest, whether protest was tolerated. Those who wanted to protest were there. I was there. I understood before going in, there was disagreement about how to protest, whether protest was tolerated.

Those who wanted to protest were strongly discouraged from doing so.

That's why you saw what I'm calling the popsicle stick protest where they waved their little signs.

And then, you know, when you interview them and ask, I have, you know, I do my work on social media.

I hear from people all the time.

They're saying, why aren't the Democrats doing more, fighting back more aggressively? We want to see

action. And when I put this to them, Democrat after Democrat said to me, we are, we're winning in the

courts. Like, you're not, you're not the courts. You're here. Now, they don't have the majority to legislate, but they can make trouble. They can make good trouble. They can make noise. They can, you know, propose legislation. That was one thing. And then the other message I kept getting is for members, they'd say, we need the public to get so outraged that they're calling us nonstop, making it impossible to go through

the day, and Republicans and Democrats alike will pressure the White House for change. And you're like,

you need the people to get you to do your job. It's just a very strange message from leaders. That's

not leadership. Now, I appreciate it's a tough spot for them,

but if you just remember back to the pandemic for a moment, plenty of criticism of Andrew Cuomo for a million

reasons. He did a presser every day at 10 a.m. and it was must-see viewing because he gave the

information people wanted. Democrats could start that tomorrow on YouTube. There are a million options they could do that they're not doing. They're leaving it on the table,

and their voters feel abandoned.

To destroy the country from within, you would do everything Donald Trump's done in the first 50 days.

You would wreck the economy, you would suspend the services from the federal government,

and you would demolish our security alliances with the West.
