Welcome back to America. We're here with Ben Dominich, really is one of the sharpest people out there as far as I'm concerned. And Ben, I want to ask you this. President Trump is on Capitol Hill. He's uniting the Republican Party behind him. I mean, there are still some miscreants out there, you know, who are, I'm never going to support them, but I think they're in a very, very small fraction of a minority. And it looked like he did a very good job of it on Capitol Hill here. This is something the Democrat Party fears the most, isn't it? They want a divided Republican Party because they feel that's one of the key ways to win. Is that what they're going to get, a divided Republican Party, or do you think Republicans are going to come home and back Trump? I think that the coming home has already started, and I think that it's very well apparent. You know, you don't see the kind of level of holdouts that you had in the past. I think a large part of that is that Donald Trump has done some work in terms of making peace internally within the Republican Party. But Mark, you know, I think it's really interesting to look around the world as a whole right now and see what's happening, not just here in America, but in Europe as well, where you see these parties of the more populist bent rising up and really fighting some success in the polling data that we see coming out of France, out of the UK, obviously out of Germany. And then the fact that the most popular politician at the G7 was Georgia Maloney, the head of the Italian state. And that's something that really, I think, is due in part to the failure of this old technocratic order to give people the kind of results that they wanted, to give them the kind of change in policy that they wanted. Donald Trump was obviously the biggest, largest figure looming over that, and he's now changed the Republican Party, I think, for good. But this is a particular moment where you're going to have new leadership, I think, rise up within the party, the party that he's made. Whether he wins or not in November, and I personally think he is going to win and probably win pretty easily, I think this is a situation where we're about to see how the party adapts to being a party that has different priorities than it did before Donald Trump came along. So the entrenched bureaucracy in this country, two and a half million strong, the vast majority of which is in the camp of the Democrat Party, and the entrenched media in Washington and New York, which kind of controls much of the media that goes on out there. And then, of course, the Democrat Party. Reagan used to call this the Iron Triangle. This Iron Triangle is not going to give up very easily. It never does. It's going to fight to the last man and woman, isn't it? It really is. And that's why I think you see the kind of desperation in the way that they're currently talking. And keep in mind, it's still a long way till November. But I think you see that desperation, you hear it. All you have to do is turn on Joe and Mika and you hear it. It's a desperation at recognizing that they no longer have the power that they once did. They no longer wield the power over the American message that they once did. And that's because they've been proven wrong so many times. People no longer trust them and they trust their own eyes and ears. They trust that when they look at Joe Biden, they're not seeing someone who's sharp as attack behind the scenes. They're seeing someone who wanders all over the place, is regularly incoherent, really doesn't seem like a guy who should be running the country at this stage in his life. And they understand that when they're voting in November, if you vote for Joe Biden, you're voting for not if, but when Kamala Harris becomes president.
