But I'm not shedding any tears for Gavin Newsom.

And, you know, if he wins the presidency, it's because the entire country looks at the example of California and says it's OK to be below average, Governor Newsom.

One thing that was was unusual about the rise of Donald Trump, among many others, there's just zero this zero.

His father was a very tough guy.

I'm sure his father said like really harsh things about him a lot.

Right.

His brother goes the wrong way, becomes an alcoholic.

Trump's at military school for a while.

But zero of this.

And his story was like, I know how to fire people.

And I know I know how corrupt politicians are because I've worked the system so I can fix it.

Right.

So it was none of this attempt to create.

How do you see it, Rich?

So I think there are a couple unknowns, right?

The big one, which MD MBD led with there is how does this end?

Is it perceived as a success or is it perceived as a failure?

That will make a huge difference.

And then there's kind of the internal game.

So J.D.
