[00:39:56] S8: Yeah, he did. He did seem like unusually reflective or at least almost somber in a way that that that feels rare, that he's at least questioning something in the back of his [00:40:07] S6: Well, I think he's burnt out. I mean, look at look at that last speech. I think he's very tired. He's gone through the middle, and he's burnt Will [00:40:13] S8: we see some sort of shakeup at the White House? Do you think anyone's gonna be leaving? Will he be bringing in any new blood? What's gonna happen inside of there? [00:40:24] S6: I'm probably the wrong guy to ask because I'm not in touch with that right at this moment, but I definitely think Hegseth is gone. And you look at the poly markets, he's going way up in the poly markets. Could Susie Wiles be gone? It's possible he's really pissed at her. But you know, who else? I don't know. He likes these sycophants. He likes them yes ing him and barking like a seal and doing all the shit that he likes. He said, I didn't say this. He said, this referendum isn't on me. It isn't even about me. I wasn't on the ballot. Even though he promised he wanted everybody on the ballot. And this is the rhetoric that comes from him. And you the shit, you you gotta be looking at this saying, okay, I mean, this guy is in his own warped reality zone. I mean, one of the last things he said that was so crazy yet, he told the Fox News people that the last two years have been the best ever in presidential history. Right? You're laughing. You don't think the last two years have been the best ever in presidential history?

[00:41:41] S6: He's made the country reject him. That's what he's done. [00:41:45] S8: Who does he blame now? He placed some blame on some of the Republican candidates, but I assume that they're all gonna be in a room, and you've been in these rooms when... In politics. Like, what does the conversation actually look like? And is he gonna say, hey. You screwed up on this and this, and who's he gonna be pointing his finger at?

[00:42:07] S6: He's gonna go candidate by candidate, and he's gonna say, that's not MAGA. That's not MAGA. That one didn't listen, I had to throw that one out to get this other one, will never be his fault. [00:42:18] S8: Is this, in your view, is this the end of MAGA? Is this sort of the final stage, or can we see a resurgence? [00:42:25] S6: You know, it's sort of like what Churchill said, you know, it's not the beginning of the end, but it could be the end of the beginning. I think we're gonna go into another stage. It's not clear to me that he doesn't field more MAGA candidates to see if he can dislodge some of these members of the house. But, you know, I think so. But, you know, when you count out Trump, he rises from the ashes. [00:42:48] S8: Final question. Any predictions on who the front runner will be in 2028 for the GOP? [00:42:55] S6: Such a great question, and I am not equipped to tell you who it's gonna be. I can tell you with confidence that it's not gonna be JD Vance or Marco Rubio now. I couldn't have told you with confidence prior to the election, but I just think there's no way.
