I want to see success for the administration, definitely.

And I would love to see the regime gone, definitely.

I just don't know how we get there with the existing regime.

path that we seem to be seem to be on Jonathan I'm sure this is going to resolve itself here in the next couple of days and we will all be holding hands and singing kumbaya so you know I'm going to try to be optimistic but I'm going to saddle up my unicorn I don't know I'm ready to roll

you know you put that on a bumper sticker saddle up the unicorns uh yeah you know what we've got there's so much more we could spend all day talking about this and all the viewers are like oh no no don't spend all day telling this i really do get a sense this is an interesting part of it i was talking to our amazing uh executive producer of the pdb just before we started and uh

rightly so.

There's fatigue, right?

I mean, we saw it with Afghanistan.

We saw it with Iraq.

This is a much shorter period of time.

And the Pentagon's been pointing out, look, it's only been two months or three months.

I mean, give us a chance.

But people develop this ADHD much quicker than they used to.

And you get a sense in the general population in the U.S.

anyway, people are just tired of it.

And so it's a fascinating situation, but

Yeah, well, look, I think your experience, your insight is spot on.

And you've mentioned that because the critics...

And it's not so much critic.

I don't have a dog in the hunt from a political perspective.
