Is anyone complaining?

I don't know.

I mean, they did finally get alarmed about Powell, as we were saying, but I don't know.

Are they all screaming about this?

Maybe I missed that.

I give the Exxon guy credit for just saying it.

I guess maybe Exxon is so big, he doesn't care, or he just felt he had to be honest.

I don't know.

It was unusual, actually.

Yeah, no, I think so.

The mission accomplished sort of thing, right?

And I don't know, did they elect him to be acting president of Venezuela?

There's a little bit of still, I think, fragmenting of the MAGA base to be done here if people aggressively push on this, don't you think?

And Bannon can say truthfully, he was for Trump from the beginning, which J.D.

Vance certainly wasn't, and Marco Rubio certainly wasn't.

He was willing to – he went into the White House.

He was willing to criticize others, and he warned about what was going to happen in the first term, which from their point of view is correct.

He warned that McMaster and all these characters like – and Bolton and –

Gary Cohn and all these people were not really on board what Trump wanted to do.

And that's why he could he will say he got shoved out and he warned about that for the next three years.
