240. Vance Has Broken With Trump - Will MAGA Follow?

Hello everybody, welcome to The Rest Is Politics US and our latest wrap on the midterms and Anthony's still actually smiling like a tooth fairy. Yeah, I mean my face is frozen in a permanent smile. The dentistry. My jaw hurts. So here's what we're going to talk about today. J.D. Vance is having a crisis, having nailed his colours to the Trump mast. He's now scrambling to put distance between himself and a very unpopular president and his very unpopular war. Tuesday night's midterms brought that massive blue tsunami that swept through GOP states and handed the Democrats very comfortable majorities in both the House and the Senate. And now Republicans have started to turn, guess what, on each other. This episode is brought to you by eToro. It's midterm season, which means the political madness is well underway.

Vance putting out that 600 word posting saying it was all about the war. Didn't mention anything to do with tariffs or corruption or ICE, which actually, if you look at the exit polling data, are things that voters were concerned about. He is saying this is all about the war, making it very clear that he is distancing himself from this war. But the president today I saw was reposting. On Truth Social on a quote from Newsmax saying that Trump is a winner and he's right on Iran. So there is President Trump. Here we are Friday lunchtime in the US saying Trump is right on Iran. And there is J.D. Vance saying, oh, maybe the war is not such a good idea, folks, after all. And that is why we lost the midterms. That's going to make for an awkward Oval Office meeting between the president and the vice president. Right. How far and how fast can J.D. Vance run from this situation? What's your favorite candy? What's my favorite? Chocolate. Every time. Any time a chocolate, right? Pretty much any type. Cheap, expensive, chocolate. So mine is Reese's peanut butter cups. Oh, I love those. Chocolate and peanut butter, ideal. I just want you to imagine that, like, God or the universe said you can eat unlimited amounts of Reese's, OK? OK, that's a bit much. I'm just telling you, that's what's going on with me the last 72 hours. I literally could not be any happier. And I'm just praying that the Democrats don't blow this. But first of all, the Newsmax saying that is Chris Ruddy, right? He is one of the central sycophants and he's a Mar-a-Lago. He doesn't want the beer that he drinks at Mar-a-Lago peed in. So he wrote that to the great joy of Donald Trump, who's retreating it. Mm hmm. One lone white dude who thinks Trump is a winner, but not the country. The country thinks that Donald Trump is a loser and the country has done a few things that I love. And I'll just say what they are very quickly. Three quick things. Number one, we are rejecting hate. We actually don't like our fellow citizens pulled out of their houses and put in dog kennel cages at the ICE detention centers. We do not like that. Mm hmm. You suck on the economy and the stuff that you've done to us in the economy, particularly these northern states as it relates to Canada. We do not like that. And then number three, and this is the one that I love the most, is that we reject you, Donald Trump, and we reject everything that's adjacent to you. And now you can push back and say, no, 27 percent of the people still like him and he's got a 34 percent approval rating. But I don't. I think that's all nonsense anyway. He's been destroyed here. Okay. The magnitude of this and I and people have said to me on Twitter and social media, well, you got it wrong. I did. You're right. I got it wrong because I'm a skeptic. But this is one thing being wrong about. I couldn't be happier being wrong about this. And this is the last point, Katty. Two thousand twenty eight, two thousand thirty, two thousand thirty two. Republicans. Good luck trying to retake the House and the Senate because I'm looking at the schedule and I'm looking at the voting and you're not going to do it. So you you've had a to quote DeSantis, a near extinction event, meteor strike, and you lost the seven or eight swing states to Democratic governorships for the setup coming into two thousand twenty eight. So, Katty, can a Cheeto stained? Orange fingered cheetos and now their lips are also cheeto stained because they've been on Trump's rectum for the last four years. So can a cheeto stained lipped person and cheeto stained fingered person Trump adjacent Rubio DeSantis or Vance make it to the nomination and win the presidency? I think that's the big loser from Tuesday's election was J.D. Vance. Clearly right. This is now going to be really difficult for him. This is why he is running as fast as he can. And we know that his social posts are not approved by the White House. He puts out what he want. And I think that's why you're seeing this tension between the two of them, what they're saying about the war in Iran. I'm not quite sure how we got Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies and Cheetos in the same. It's because I'm like, because you are eating junk food because you are like you are on junk food. I'm a junk food person. I don't like Cheetos. I don't like. Okay. Can I add one more thing, though? Because I've been enjoying for the last 72 hours, I'm not going to push back on Trump being unpopular. No, clearly. I mean, there's a few people out there in MAGA world who still love Trump, although if you look at the papers at the moment, The Wall Street Journal and you look at The New York Times, it is full of people from the right writing op eds about how Eric Erickson saying, you know, this is all on Donald Trump. This is all his policies and it's all his personality. That's the other thing. I think the two things you mentioned, the nice young man theory of this election that we are done with meanness in politics, whether it's ICE pulling people out of bed. And you said this, Anthony, you said this during the election, the American people would not like mass deportations. That's not who America is, and they don't like it when people are pulled out of bus stops while they're waiting to pick their kids up from school. Why did Kansas go blue in the Senate? Because of those letters you and I spoke about that went out partly to rural school districts. You look at southern Kansas, there is a group there with strong Hispanic neighborhoods because they were black in the farms, and guess what? That's where the areas went blue because if you weren't actually Hispanic and voting blue, you knew somebody who had been picked up and they don't like it. So they don't like that. I'd say the other thing that I would add to that list, though, the three things you mentioned is corruption. It turns out if you look at all of the exit polling data, the Americans don't like this level of corruption. One of the things that Democrats are now going to go after is the DOJ and how much corruption there was. You've already had Senator Blumenthal. Today, sending out letters to the donors of the ballroom asking for more questions. So I think the Democrats are going to have to go after the corruption. I think you look at the exit polling data, it's like number three on the list of concerns because that is not how people see the country and they don't like the idea that some people at the top are getting richer and richer and making money out of the presidency, whilst maybe it wouldn't have been such an issue if gas prices weren't as high as they are and rent isn't as high as it is and healthcare doesn't cost as much as it is in the country. But I think the corruption is a big issue. I think the Democrats are going to have to go after it. But you're right, I think it's going to be, I think, I think DeSantis is clearly trying to kind of write 20, I mean, he could have 2028 tattooed on his forehead if you want. I mean, that, you know, maybe that's where he's going to go next. But he is out there trying to distance himself as much as possible from the White House. But even he has sucked up at points to Donald Trump. You and I have spoken about this on our live tour, we were asked about this. I think it's going to have to take a, it's going to have to be a clean sweep. There's going to have to go. I think it's going to be very hard for anyone associated if MAGA continues to be this unpopular and Donald Trump continues to, you know, talk about the renovations of Washington, D.C., obsessively, even as he did today, I think it's going to be very hard for anyone associated with this administration to run for office. And the Democrats know that, by the way, they're looking at these numbers and they're thinking 2028 looks very good for them right now, right? No question, but also the exit polling is saying, we don't like it, what we want is moderate? The voting is saying that the people who didn't perform as well were the more progressive candidates. El Sayed did not perform as well as Tallarico did. Did not perform as well as Adam Hamilton did in Kansas. So although he is taking up a lot of air time today and he is on every news channel you can be on and talking very confidently and he's already registered the domain name that would put in a position for 2028, he actually did not do as well as the moderate democrats. Right, so again they are looking for people in this country that are moderate and solutions-based and they're going to reward those people. And Kati, I want to talk about something that is a little existential and philosophical for a moment because the country was under threat. I didn't get the election results right but I did get the integrity of the election right. You and I. Mm-hmm. have been asked repeatedly around the country, up in Canada, are we okay? Or is he going to do something to screw the thing up? You have consistently said no that the election process here is effectively decentralized and I guess it gives me such comfort, Kati. Does it not give you comfort that America is just so much more resilient and America is actually showing itself here, who the Americans really are? Aren't we doing that? I mean, I hope we are. I think you're right. I mean, I think, you know, look, if we think back to January of 2025, just over a year and a half ago, and MAGA seemed so powerful and so permanent, right? That was the period of Doge and Elon Musk swept into Washington, D.C. and fired tens of thousands of people in the federal government who then lost their incomes and then had to rehire them back again at more cost, did not save a penny for the federal government. But at the time it felt like, my God, this is never going to go away. And I think that's what the rest of the world felt too. Now we've almost swung the other way. After Tuesday night's election, there's this kind of joy around the country amongst Democrats and amongst people saying, okay, what won on Tuesday night was democracy and the democratic process. But you also have to go, and I think it's very interesting listening to Chuck Schumer, who did that half hour interview on The Daily, very clearly saying, okay, there are things we have to go after. We do have to look at the corruption because, but it has to be about the system, not about Donald Trump. We have to protect the American system. We have to protect the rule of law. We can't have the rest of the world and foreign investors looking at America and thinking, hold on a second, this is a pay-to-play economy and a pay-to-play political system because then you're just a banana republic. And I think that's how they have to frame this. I want to go to Julian Gilbert 5465. I think Trump likes Republicans losing. If the GOP loses from now on, he can just say future elections were without him and he will feel even more like he personally was responsible for past victories. Okay. Caddy, come on. What do you think of that, Julian? Julian, right on the money. I mean, butt-up bump, Julian. Okay. I mean, that is it, Caddy. I've been saying that. This guy wants Newsom to replace him. That's his personality. Oh, unless it's Don Jr. But at this point, the Trump name is in the mud. It's buried 500 feet under the mud. So I think another Trump is tricky. But yeah, I think he would love to be able to say, as he has said, the truest thing Donald Trump has said in the last year and a half, MAGA is me. And without me, there is no MAGA. Julian, well said. But Don Trump Jr., I was hearing this succession, the HBO show theme song, while he was talking yesterday, because he was doing a full break from his father, right? And unfortunately, Don, you're never going to get out of the shadow of your father, and you are also never going to be president. That's another thing that was going on while I was eating my Reese's peanut butter cup. I was eating my Reese's peanut butter cup. I was playing the song from Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda. And the song inside my head was, "Never going to be president. Never going to be president." Now, who are those people? That would be JD. That would be JD. That would be Little Marco. That would be Don Jr. Don Jr. And by the way, Ron DeSanctimonious DeSanthus, who now thinks he has a lane, who now thinks he has a lot of money, who now thinks he has a lot of money in his pocket, who now thinks he has a lot of money in his pocket, and he thinks he has a lot of money in his pocket, Doesn't mean you're in an uber and dislikable. You are Trump-adjacent. And yes, you have orange coating all over your body. And you allowed something that Americans hate almost as much as they hate Donald Trump. You allowed them to change the name of the airport and the call signal in Palm Beach to DJT. You got people flying into Stewart, Florida, and you got people flying into Fort Lauderdale because they don't want to land in DJT, jackass. So let me tell you something, never going to be president, Ron DeSantis. Okay, here you go. This is a question from Adrian Gahan2576. I don't know what that means. Anyway, can Rubio lead the debarthification of MAGA from the GOP or is he now too tainted by association? So this was the rumor that was going all around Washington yesterday that I was being texted about from my Democrat and my Republican friends. Rubio's going to quit. He's on the point of quitting. Now the White House is pushing back. No, he is not on the point of quitting. I love the fact, by the way, that Hegseth has already put out a video defending himself when he is really probably first for the chopping block. But no, Rubio cannot lead the de-barthification of MAGA. Antony and I said this months ago. If Rubio, when we did our miniseries, worth listening to our miniseries on Marco Rubio for our founding members, if Rubio wanted to be president, sometime before the bombing of Iran, he needed to quit and say, like the final episode of The Diplomat, if you haven't seen it, that's what he needed to do. He needed to stand up and say, I can no longer support the policies of the Trump administration. That was his best chance. Hey, Katty, if he quit on that day and you said it, if he quit on that day, like Katty Kay said, he would be the guy right now. And he would be able to lead that party to a quote unquote debaification. But he cannot do that. But let me tell you guys how Washington works. And Katty knows this. The very same consultants that were teasing that Marsha Blackburn, the newly elected governor of the state of Tennessee, is going to give her seat to Pete Hegseth are the very same consultants that are floating the BS about little Marco. Okay, so that's how it works in Washington. They're going to float these little things out there. The reporters are going to tap, tap, tap and write about them, and then people like us are going to react. and the reaction is unbelievably negative, and so then everybody crawls back into their hole until they come up with another stupid idea. Let's take a quick break, and then we'll talk about Pistol Pete and come back with more Valkyries. And we are getting a statement from number 10 on that flight with 350 passengers on board. The Great Gain. Strategic struggle between Britain and Russia. We assess a prime minister with high confidence it was Russian. Holding the Russians accountable is World War 3. They took down a British passenger jet containing 350 people. The man in the Kremlin is playing, Alex. You've got to ask yourself, do you want to play or not? You're the prime minister. You've done nothing! We would need to understand the policy context. All the relevant context will be structured as a framework today and disseminated into an operation order, or FRAGO. A FRAGO that says to kill the president of Russia? Yes. New from Goldhanger. Who is going to be able to pull this off? You're my soldier, are you? Sergeant Tom McDuff Duffy! An audio drama journey like no other. Men like Duffy, they are our most valuable weapons. Devised as a technically rigorous geopolitical action thriller where Britain plays its strongest hand against its strongest foe. Bear Hunt. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. As his party crumbles, kind of like a volcano into the ocean and everything is going bad, for the third time this week, Donald Trump, what was he focused on? Interior decoration. Yes, he was. And gold bling. And he has signed a proclamation across the nation that no stupid people, that is in air quotes, no stupid people. Stupid people will be allowed to rip down the Oval Office. So we know where Donald Trump's head is right now. He starts at the reflecting pool. Day after the midterms, he gets them all signing a beam in the ballroom. That's what he cares about. I mean, it's astonishing that that is what he cares about. Right now, that's where his head is. It is, as you know, and it isn't. But let me tell you something, he is watching, because he's obsessed with this stuff, he's watching the AI videos of that cleanup crew going into the White House and pulling all of the Home Depot gold props off the walls. And so now he's saying to himself, well, I'm going to prevent that by signing this proclamation. But that proclamation could be written on Scott toilet paper, because no one's going to care about that proclamation. And I don't care who gets elected, Republican or Democrat, they're not going to care. They're not going to care about that proclamation. They're not going to live in the world of Liberace, okay? It's just not going to do it, okay? So that's all gone. But I want to just mention Pistol Pete Hexeth, and I'm calling him now Water Pistol Pete. Squirt, squirt with the water pistol, because he is an imbecile, and he's an incompetent, and he's failed the country on the war, and he's gutted the military, and he's crushed our morale, and he's got senior executives, both civilian and military executives, generals, writing down all the stuff that he's doing, so that when they go to impeach him, they've got all of the evidence, all the laws that the Water Pistol Pete has broken. But I have to ask you this question, okay? Do you think that was a good strategy to put yourself on a video the day after the election, talking like Water Pistol Pete Hexeth? No, I don't know why he's drawing attention to himself. I mean, and also what was weird about it was that he is not, he's not just drawing attention to himself. He was specifically in that video tying himself to Donald Trump. I mean, does this guy have the kind of political savvy of a nincompoop? Because he only has to look at what has just happened to Donald Trump. This was a referendum on Donald Trump, 100%, and the referendum was 500 thumbs down. We don't like you. We don't like what you're doing. We don't like the style. We don't like you. And so what does Pete Hexeth do? He makes that video saying, I'm like Donald Trump. They want to impeach me, almost like he's proud of it. They want to impeach me like they impeached the president. What was the strategy there? I can't figure it out. I think it is, I'm so in love. I just need more attention. I'm so in love with myself. Yeah. And I love the way I look with my American flag handkerchief that I'm going to speak from the steps, and I'm going to make sure the Department of War is behind me so I can remind people what an imbecile I am, that I'm trying to hurt the entire culture of what was once a benevolent democracy by changing the name to something that should be defense to war. I don't know. I couldn't figure that one out. But I want to go, if you don't mind, to Jay Morrissey, because I do want to address this. This is Jay Morrissey, B1I. What's happening with the stock market and tech stocks, please? Is it? This is a temporary glitch. And, Jay, it's not a temporary glitch, but it is a correction. So you can have the rise of tech stocks, data centers, and that capital spending boom like that. That's very reminiscent. If you're old enough, sir, you would remember Global Crossing and all the under-seas transatlantic cabling that we did at the turn of the century and everybody thinking how genius that was, but people went too far and they took on technology. That's what this is, and this current thing is just a catalyst to pull us back from that abyss. Even if the Republicans had won, you still would have had a correction like this. I think the real question is, is this temporary or not? I'm going to submit to you that I believe it is temporary. I think that the stock market traditionally after the midterms, if you have a split government, and now you do, you have a lame duck president and a democratically controlled Congress. You typically get good stock market results, and I'm also willing to bet you that there will be dramatic positive changes in tariffs, particularly with Canada, and dramatic positive changes in the war that's going on with Iran, which will bring prices down in 2027. So I would hang tough in the stock market. This is not investment advice, just an opinion. Let's take this question from Lucas Schmidt 1121. How will the new Democratic senators from California. Kansas, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and maybe Mississippi change the Democratic Party? That is a very good question. This gets to who polled well. So all of those Democrats outperformed expectations and actually outperformed votes relative to the more progressive Democrats, Troy Jackson up in Maine and Abdel El-Sayed in Michigan. I know everyone today is super excited about El-Sayed, but actually, if you look at his numbers, they were lower than. Taylor Rico, they were lower than Adam Hamilton. So I think those and you've got Chuck Schumer saying the same thing to his caucus today. And Democratic strategists that I've spoken to today say that actually when because they won so big as well, the Democrats in the House, the progressive caucus is going to have less weight in the House than it would have done with a relatively smaller victory. So there are fewer of them compared to the moderates. I think we are seeing the moment of. Actually not the moment of progressives, although in a way, progressive is a little bit of a weird word at the moment because all of these people are talking about affordability and costs for the American people. And some of them are doing it in some ways and some of them are doing it others. But really, it's all about affordability. But I think this is going to be a moment for centrists in the Democratic Party. They're going to be the big block. What do you think? I mean, the fact that the Democrats have the South, they don't have the South because of super aggressive candidates. Well, again, the more moderate candidates, they probably would have won. But I want to I'm just going to say this and I'm going to focus on Texas. Senator Tallarico has been excoriated by Elon Musk, demonized, all kinds of words slung at him. Elon Musk spent yesterday erasing those things from Twitter. So I guess he doesn't realize that there's a indelible tattoo on the Internet. That's fine. But what did Tallarico say? I like Elon Musk. And I. And I applaud his innovation and technical skills. And he's very happy that SpaceX is in the state of Texas. And that's an olive branch to Elon Musk. And I would just suggest to Elon Musk, because no one gives this guy political advice, take it. Take the olive branch. Build some peace. Work on making yourself a bipartisan business person as opposed to somebody that's ideologically driven. And how do you pronounce, if you don't mind, because, you know, I'm just barely speaking the English language category. As you know, how do you pronounce the new governor's name, Hinojosa? Hinojosa, Gina Hinojosa. There's an extra syllable there, Hinojosa. Okay. So governor-elect Hinojosa said something very smart yesterday. She said, in the state of Texas, we have always been pro-business. And as a result of which we're going to allow for the completion of the data centers that have already been on the building blocks. We're going to examine. We're going to examine the future ones to make sure that the residents of Texas, citizens of Texas are benefiting from these data centers. You know, the data centers don't poll well, guys. Okay. They don't poll well because they scare the daylights out of people. And you guys spent all your money lining up with Donald Trump and handing him gold and all different types of stuff in the Oval Office. Why don't you get out and spend some of that money on explaining to people how this stuff could potentially. potentially help them and benefit them in the economy? And why don't you give money to the education and the infrastructure in those areas where you'd like to build a data center instead of throwing money into Trump's MAGAPAC? That might be an idea for you guys to consider because the American people don't like it. They don't like it. And by the way, thank you for the corrections in the comments. It's Hinojosa, not Hinojosa. Okay, I'm sorry. There's no H there, I'm sorry about that. That's why I didn't want to be disrespectful. I'm not disrespectful to her at all by not pronouncing it properly. She's had a huge win. There was a wonderful picture. If anybody has time to do this, go on the Internet. It was a heartwarming picture of her as a young girl, Cady, with Ann Richards, the last Democratic governor of the state of Texas. She was sitting next to her at an event. And I'm just saying to myself, that gave me goosebumps. And congratulations to her on her very successful victory. There are a ton of fun videos of the new crop of incoming senators and politicians. If you haven't looked at them, Senator-elect Annie Andrews, who's a pediatrician in South Carolina, her videos have had me cracking up all afternoon. She's got a great sense of humor. I think she's going to be a super fun senator as well. And, you know, Rob Sands, the new governor of Iowa, who rides around on a one wheel, as far as I can tell, and, you know, is posting videos of himself. There's all these young. People coming in, and I think that's why you also saw second highest turnout ever. of young people in a midterm, 27% of young people, that's people under the age of 30 voted, massive swing of young people, including young men to the Democratic Party. That's partly what fueled these election results around the country. And they did turn out, they turned out and they voted blue. And they are going to, here's my prediction, they are going to change. We've been saying this for a long time. People in the Senate and members of Congress, but in the Senate are too old. There needs to be a restriction on, I think, at the upper age limit of which you can serve in Congress. And now you've got these young people coming in. They're going to understand tech better. They're going to understand communications better. They're going to understand AI better. They're going to understand the impact of all of those things on young people and on affordability. And I think that in and of itself is going to have a huge impact. I don't know what you think, Anthony, but I think that's going to have a really, really going to change Washington. I like it. I like it. I like it. And I also like the messaging that they want America open for business, but they want it to be fair. And I'm telling you, and again, not to bring up my book, but just bring it up briefly. When the economic rent in a business is distributed between labor and capital in the right kind of way, we have an expanding middle class and we have tons of happy aspirational people in America. And these oligarchs, broligarch tycoons, calm down. You don't have to take the last penny for yourself. Let's share it. Let's share it in a market-based capitalistic way so that people are motivated to be successful. That's all. That's the message. And I think guys like Tallarico, Ossoff, believe it or not, you know, you know, El Syed had a champion advocate by the name of Tucker Carlson. I don't think Tucker Carlson's DSA. He's letting you know that El Syed was speaking about pro-business growth in the state of Michigan. So guys, you know, this is about as good as it gets for the Democrats, but it is not a mandate to do something stupid. So right. Okay. So listen to the people go down the middle and Republicans, I would say, man, you got a 3, 10, possibly 15-year rebuilding project. I would say, man, you got a 3, 10, possibly 15-year rebuilding project. And there's one person in particular, who's not going to help you. If anything, it's one person in particular, that's going to throw Duraflame logs of hate upon you. And that person is Donald J. Trump. He's going to do that because Julian said it, you've been saying it and I know it. And so guys, you got to get away from Trump and you got to clear him out and you got to start over. And if you don't do that, you're going to get destroyed. Okay, so let's take one last question. This is Chrisettes. Very open-ended question. Which piece of Tuesday's result will look most important in two years, even though it's barely being covered this week? I think that's a great question. I'm going to go with Hispanic voters. And there was a lot of talk about this before, but we haven't heard that much since. It changed Texas, it changed the Rio Grande Valley, 72-point swing in the Rio Grande Valley and Starr County. I mean, that is phenomenal swing. But message to the Democrat, Donald Trump thought he had bought this coalition. He thought he had bought swing voters. He hadn't. He was renting the coalition. Democrats now have to work. Every time we come to an election, what I hear from Hispanic voting groups is they just turn up at the last minute and they ask for our vote. You have to stay there. You've got to keep talking to people. You've got to keep listening. You've got to keep doing the work in the community. You've got to make sure that people are getting what they expected out of that election because they didn't get it out of 2024 and the result was 2026. If Democrats want to repeat this in 2028, they need to keep this coalition with them and they need to keep talking to the coalition and they need to pass things and try and do as much as they can, given that Trump is already wearing the veto hat, not very subtly in the Oval Office, do what they can to address the question of prices. That's why they were brought in this time around. I think it's really, really well said. I don't have a lot to add there. Just this gentleman, Daniel, saying, "Unless I missed it, El-Sayed hasn't apologized to the Sky News journalists that he was unnecessarily rude to." That's disappointing. I'm in that game. I just want El-Sayed, again, he's not going to listen to me. You won. You deserve the success. But in victory, Katie Kay, what would Winston Churchill say? In victory, magnanimity. Be magnanimous. Be gracious. I watched that video and you don't have to act like that, particularly to. We're trying to heal our relationship with places like the UK, Canada, Europe, NATO. Let's be nice. Let's play nice. There's no reason. The thing is, it's true. I remember going up to Karl Rove, I think it was in the 2004 election, and asking if I could have an interview and him saying, "Well, there's no votes in the UK for it." But he didn't do it. He just then smiled and walked away. Mm-hmm. And I get it. I mean, British politicians don't spend much time talking to American journalists either, but it's the way you do it. You don't have to belittle somebody in the process. You're going to turn people off. You don't need to turn off. You're a successful, smart guy. I mean, and you ran a good campaign. Okay. Now there's somebody saying, "Kay Scaramucci for 2028." Guys, that's not going to happen, but we love the idea. We love the sentiment. At the moment, we're just doing podcasts. We will be back. There are world leaders that have suggested that, by the way. World leaders. And of course, they put Katie at the top of the ticket, because they know that Katie runs this show, and they know that Katie is way more organized than me, and they would get a much better outcome with her at the top of the ticket. And it's not happening. World leader, all Galway bound. It's not happening, but thank you for the sentiment. We'll see you back on Monday, guys. We'll be back, because there's bound to be more news over the weekend. Have a great weekend. Guys, I'm just going to let everybody know, I'm going to be having a great weekend. Okay? Don't eat too many Reese's Pieces, because candy- And I'm hoping you're going to be having a great weekend, but I'm going to be having a great weekend. So much better of a weekend, Katie, than I thought I was going to have on Monday night. I am just a happy, happy camper right now. I promise to return to something more sober next week, but I'm so happy right now. Okay, guys. We'll see you on Monday. Thanks for listening.
