00:00:00
The country is ideologically divided.
00:00:03
There is a strong pro-Trump group and
00:00:07
there is a strong anti-Trump group. And
00:00:11
this is not aligned by party. There are
00:00:13
a lot of Republicans
00:00:15
who do not support Trump. There are some
00:00:17
Democrats that support Trump.
00:00:20
And the independents are split. Some of
00:00:22
them support Trump and some do not.
00:00:25
So, why are we ignoring it? Why are we
00:00:27
continue to report Republicans say that
00:00:30
and Democrats says that as opposed to
00:00:34
trying to identify who are the one who
00:00:37
support the Trump philosophy and those
00:00:40
who do not.
00:00:42
And I think it's clear in almost every
00:00:44
domain that we're dealing with, whether
00:00:46
it is
00:00:48
climate, trade, abortion, you name it.
00:00:51
On every one of those issues, the
00:00:53
dividing line is not
00:00:56
party line anymore, but it's rather the
00:00:59
alliance with and loyalty to Trump
00:01:02
versus opposing Trump.
