Now, as far as his confirmation process, there's going to be a lot of broken hearts and you're going to see a major divide if they don't confirm him. And I think Republicans will actually face a major amount of backlash from the voting public.

How much they care about that, though, you and I and Naomi, we all know that isn't that's never the top factor for them is how much backlash they get from the public because they are going to get a lot of backlash from their donors and their lobbyists. Right. Which is big pharma. My concern is that they might not be doing enough from the official Trump transition to help get him confirmed.

There's some mixed messaging on that. Now, I know there are some good folks on transition who specifically wanted to help Pete Hexheth get confirmed, want to help him get confirmed for defense because they feel like if they take out Hexheth, it makes it easier for them to take out Trump. take out RFK. So you see the slippery slope that could be. So they want to help RFK as well.

So these are really good people. I think he will probably ultimately sneak through, but this will be a big blow to probably what is now, right, the biggest lobby in D.C., So it's going to be tough. But should he get in, he definitely gets an A from me.

But I'm also watching the staffing down the hierarchy because what they might try to do, Dr. Drury, and something that Naomi and I have talked a lot about is that they'll put him in, but they will hamper him and tie his hands so badly with people below him that won't go with his vision, his agenda, or really what the mandate is for him to do.

Um, so I'm, I'm also watching that, but he gets an a, we'll see what the staff below him. I wouldn't have probably equal grades.

I have these conversations behind the scenes all the time, especially because I'm surrounded by politicos where I live and they're already talking about twenty twenty eight. Twenty twenty four is over and now they're looking to the next campaign and they feel like that could be a real divide. Right. Because this coalition did pull Donald Trump over. There's lots of things.

And, you know, we're not talking about election integrity at the moment, but. Still, it couldn't have happened without the Maha Maga coalition. If you take Vance, who is a star now on the MAGA side, and you put him up against Bobby Kennedy, you're splitting that. So, you know, you're not actually RFK. Should he be confirmed? He has a better opportunity to shine than does J.D.

Vance really as vice president. How much do vice presidents really get? Maybe J.D. Vance will a little bit if Trump wants him to be his heir apparent. But this can be far beneficial for Bobby Kennedy. If he really gets confirmed and he's really able to do what he wants to do, then he might be the obvious 2028. But will that affect their working relationship? I don't know. Maybe. Interesting.

Yeah, I had a hard time on grading him. I would say, you know, probably a B. Yeah. You know, I think that it's great that he was a soldier. He doesn't come out of that military elite that is in Washington, D.C., that is very, very different from your average soldier on the ground. I think he has a real connection.
