em tickets or anything like that, but they might be there to assist. And then separately, Trump is reportedly considering sending the National Guard into DC again for policing but probably not doing what police do. Not arresting people, just being a military presence and maybe an assistant to the police, whatever they need. So Trump seems very determined to make Washington DC a livable city again.…

probably go on another interview and do the same thing and they let him get away with it because they ran out of time.

Bernie Sanders is being a little bit mean to Kamala Harris and apparently he's not expecting her to run for president anytime soon. And apparently what Bernie said to Dana Bash who was talking to him, Bernie said, quote, "One of the reasons in my view that Kamala Harris lost this election is she had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country." Do you think that happened? Do you think that behind closed doors there were too many billionaires who were warning her, no, stop it, don't speak up for the working class, no, don't do that, don't speak up for the working class, you know, we want to keep all that money? Does anybody believe that something like that happened? I doubt it. But that's the best Bernie can come up with. And then even Dana Bash responded with, ouch, you know, because she was being so pointed about Kamala Harris. And then Bernie goes, well, no, I think, I mean, I don't think that I like her. She's a friend of mine, but her core consultants were heavily influenced by very wealthy people. He goes, "How do you run for president and not develop a strong agenda which speaks to the economic crisis facing working families?"

They like saying that other people aren't talking about them enough. They like saying that Republicans are stealing from them. They like saying that Democrats need to focus on them more. They like to say that they need to fight harder for the working-class people, but what they don't say ever is what the hell they're going to do for the working-class people. And when they do, it's being said by people like AOC. And everybody who knows anything about anything says, well, those are the worst ideas I've ever heard in my life. It's amazing to me that the Democrats even have a party. Like, who goes to the party, the political party, and they don't have a single policy recommendation for the core group that they all believe everybody's ignoring too much except for them? Got anything? An

ything on affordability? Nope. And then Sanders said this, and I quote, "Well, but in a vague, I don't want to rehash that campaign." In other words, he didn't know what he was talking about. But I think the clue to Democratic victories is to understand you've got to stand unequivocally with the working class. Okay. And what exactly does standing with them get you? What is it you're asking for?…
