Thank you for saying there's a reason why everybody is suddenly saying, like, OK, we got four years of transactions. Trump's a transactional guy. We can get him to do what we want. We just got to be nice to him. And he's gone. And I do think there's a way in which Elon is much more the future than Trump is because And so I don't know. I mean, I think Trump has real power.

He's president of the United States. But his hardest, hardcore people, they're already on Truth Social. I just don't see how Trump could... He would not blow up Elon over nothing, just because he's annoyed.

Elon has utility to him in a way that nobody else has, and also has his own power base in a way that nobody else has, and vice versa, which I think makes them unlikely to blow each other up super quickly.

I've never agreed with JBL's particular contention that like one of the Trump kids is next in line because there is nobody. Trump is such a unique blend of things. But I will say I brought this up at that deal book thing with Kevin McCarthy. And I wish, you know, when you replay things in your head and you think, man, I really wish I had said this or hit this particular piece harder.

But I pointed out, like, what are you guys going to do post Trump? Because you've run off. you know, all the regular Republicans. And so now everybody's fully MAGA. What do you do without Trump? He's the one who's turning people out. They don't turn out for regular problems. And I wish I had pointed out to him that I have done many, many focus groups where I've asked people about Kevin McCarthy.

And if they know who he is, which is often not the case, if they know who he is, they hate him, right? They hate him and they hate other people perceived to be the establishment Republican Party. And Trump gets away with things. That's why it's red-pilled. They're not Republicans. The Elon thing, they're not Republicans.

You think they're going to... Now, maybe they show up for Vance because Vance is one of them. But like, do regular people who like Trump because they've watched him on the television show where he fired people and they think he's a great businessman? Like, does he have the same mythology? Does he hold the same place in the American psyche and American lore? I don't think so. So what do they do?
