On some level they will be perceived as outsiders. Maybe they'll be an office holder. but they're not going to be seen as part of the establishment. The establishment on both sides are cooked. Because they're kicking my ass so much, the establishment side, that I know they're afraid of that. It's going to be an Oprah.

If the debate is about whose ideas make the most sense, then we win. Then we win. Who's we? We. Literally. Everybody wins. If it's about the ideas of what the country needs in that moment, We win.

That is the trend we're seeing, is that we've been going down a reductive path. I do think you do have to build in one thing to your calculus, though.

It's not a legal loophole. Is that legal? You can't do it. You can't have the VP, who has been a two-term president, step up. That's the 22nd Amendment and the 12th Amendment working together.

That's how good Trump is. That we gotta figure out how to break the system. And I saw this playbook work for Bloomberg. Ja. But not martial law, because then that's military rule. And that's a very tricky space. I get why Bannon's doing it. I don't know how it could ever happen.

That's why I didn't go full ham on Don for choosing Zucker's bullshit about what my life was over my own, even though we were friends. Because he was very close with Jeff and he wanted to keep his job. I got it. I didn't respect it, but I understood it.
