Do you have a sense for that?

And how do you think the administration goes about making that choice?

We have a lot of Iranian listeners on this program.

A couple of months ago, we opened up phone lines and said, hey, what kind of support is there in your social networks for Iranians in the United States for the royal family to be installed in some way as a holder of power that is a transition to potentially a new government?

Do you like that idea, Steve?

Is that a crazy idea in your mind?

Again, building on what we learned in Iraq, sweeping out one group and trying to replace another can be dangerous, but there is some form of nostalgic, positive reflection on the royal family, if only based on how awful things have been under the mullahs.

Buck asked a good question about Cuba, and I'm utterly fascinated about that.

But also on Iran, you mentioned it.

I think this is important.

There's a big difference oftentimes between what is publicly said and what is privately said, particularly from the other Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia et al., that clearly have made the decision they don't like Iran and would like to see changes made there.

Do they actually want the Ayatollah out in your impression?

This is the Saudi Arabia's, the Bahrain's, the UAE's are just kind of running all through all these different countries that are technically Muslim countries but are not allied with Iran.

Or do they deep down like the fact that the Ayatollah is such a disaster that they don't have to worry about Iran as a regional threat so long as he is there and therefore don't actually want him gone?

Do we have a sense on that?

It is funny that you mentioned Grok because she has probably a staff of, how many people do you think work for AOC?

50?

100?

I mean, if you go across everywhere, it's a huge number of people.

And she could have just said, hey, how do I answer a question on Taiwan on Grok?
