I'm not sure whether Rubio is going to be in that equation unless, you know, there's some inside track we're not aware of and and Trump's really bonded with him.

And there's some chance that he could give his nod formally or informally to Rubio.

If you're Rubio, you're sitting very pretty right now, and you're still young and have a lot of time.

I think there'd be a lot of disquiet over J.D.

Vance.

But at the end of the day, you know, if someone's the party's nominee, the alternative is going to be worse, right?

If he's running against AOC or Gavin, I mean, they'll probably be less hawkish than he is.

Even so, people, there's very little alternative to getting on on board.

But there certainly be disquiet because I think in some respects, J.D., I don't know whether he actually thinks this or whatever, express it.

But I imagine that he might think of himself a little bit as Trump is the John the Baptist ideologically with this more populist, non-interventionist approach that that Trump's kind of on on board with, but not always, as we've seen with with Iran.

And J.D.

is the pure version.

Right.

He's he's the ideological savior.

He's he's working the logic all the way to its its end point.

And there's got to be a lot of people who weren't weren't huge on Donald Trump to begin with, but have have warmed up to him, especially after this, who are going to not like the idea of of a J.D.

Vance nomination.

I thought the same thing you alluded to at the beginning of that clip.

This guy is the next Jesse Waters, right?

Just give him 10 or 15 years.
