And I think they could probably give us some good perspective. So maybe in another week, Naomi, I'll have some better answers for you on that. I've been meaning that as my homework.

So right before we jumped on, I was on a call and I was talking to someone, you know, working with transition, and they suggested that it could be Morgan Ortegas. She was just nominated as, you know, the deputy special envoy, I think is what it's called. You know, there's all these titles to the Middle East. She's a Trump, first Trump administration official.

She was a spokesperson, State Department spokesperson, but she's been a very rapid anti-Trumper and she's a chameleon. Her positions change, you know, all over the place. He, if you saw the announcement that Trump put out in his nomination of Morgan Ortegas, it was all I don't want to do this. This is her record. But the Republicans, who turns out to be Lindsey Graham, told me I have to do this.

I don't think this was a good look for Trump. I don't think he should have done it that way, even if he was going to nominate her, because I feel like it makes him look weak. A lot of people thought it was funny. And he said, these things usually don't turn out well. We'll see. So apparently there's some suggestion that right after, you know, they're inaugurated and he gets his people in.

Apparently, this is the word on the street. Lindsey Graham and a couple other senators told Donald Trump that if he didn't appoint Morgan Ortegas, they wouldn't confirm people like RFK and Pete Hexath. Specifically, those two names were mentioned. So this person suggested to me that maybe she's the first to go. Yeah.

I mean, it's a hard decision between a D and an F. We might have had worse, so I'll say D. I understand they might staffing with some people underneath them. State is always a fight because state is maybe the swampiest department in all of D.C., Right. I don't care much for Rubio because when he was on the Senate, I mean, you know, he's part of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

And when the whole Russia gate hoax was being perpetuated, Rubio was on that committee. He was privy to the to the to the classified information. It was obviously a hoax and he didn't get out there on the airwaves and dispel it. Donald Trump's first term was totally hampered by that and overshadowed.

Also, Rubio, during the pandemic, when members of the military reached out to him, his constituents, and asked for help in fighting the vaccine mandates, they would get letters back from him telling them to just get the jab. It's what's recommended.
