But when I was a White House reporter in 2020 in the Great Barrington Declaration, it was something I referenced. I referenced his work. Like Naomi said, though I didn't know him personally, I was impressed with his obvious great character. It is kind of shocking. I guess I've gotten a bit jaded, I'll be honest, having covered Congress and the White House for as many years as I have.

And so seeing someone who was treated so terribly and get, as you call it, poetic justice. When I give other people bad grades, I look at someone like Dr. Bhattacharya getting this nomination and it gives me hope. So he's a great one. A, maybe even A plus. I didn't give anyone A pluses, so.

Hey, I mean, look, he's been solid on vaccines, medical freedom, accountability in other areas, fighting corporate and government corruption, whatever his liabilities are. He has no liabilities on his track records there. Right. Here's what I was. So he gets a grade A from me.

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.
