Well, ladies and gentlemen, as we are prone to do, we like to make ridiculous political predictions way too early in the cycle.

And that's what we're going to do this time.

We're actually going to make predictions about who is going to succeed Trump in the Republican Party because a CPAC poll was just released of a bunch of conservative activists. And it's interesting to see who's

actually, who's in the lead, who's surging. Some of this will surprise you and some of it will not

surprise you at all. But the real question that we have to ask is, okay, great, this is a CPAC poll.

But what do we think is most likely to happen? And we have three scenarios that we are going to run down today. And you can tell us which one you think is most likely to transpire. And with me in the audience to discuss, audience, with me in the studio to discuss it, is our Oracle of Virginia. Christian Heinz, how you doing? Okay, I'm in the body.

All right, Christian. It's okay, you screwed up, I screwed up, I didn't have my mic in front of me. That's right. Jeez, this is, we're just a bunch of scrobes. We're off to a great start. Just a bunch of scrobs. All right. So we have the recent CPEC poll coming out. What did we, what do we learn from that, Christian? So as expected, Vance is leading.

But... coming out. What did we learn from that, Christian? So as expected, Vance is leading, but I believe he slipped from last year and Rubio has gained quite a lot. Oh, look, there's a alert about Trump

attending a Supreme Court argument today about birthright citizenship. So I've got this article from Fox News up talking about this, and it says that J.D. Vance's

long been seen as the year apparent, but quite a lot of this happens since the last CPAC last year,

right?

For example, Rubio's strong second place finished this weekend, you know, suggests that, you know, I think that certain people,

and we're going to talk about this, I think certain people are trying to push a primary fight

between the two. Yeah. I think there's some people here's, I think most people saw J.D. Vance

is kind of like the natural era parent. He was very, very close to Trump. They seem to be like everything that they were doing. Like Vance was out there quite frequently. And Vance hasn't been out there as much lately. Rubio has been. And that makes sense because we, we had the issue with Greenland and then with Venezuela and then with Cuba and then with Iran. And so there's a lot of foreign policy stuff going on.

So obviously the Secretary of State is going to feature a little bit more prominently.

And in this case, Rubio has favored very well.

His speech in Munich was like very Reagan-esque.

Like it was very well done.

Vance, I think part of the reason why Vance might be a little bit more in the background now is not just because it's foreign affairs and so the Secretary of State is out there a little more, Defense Secretary is out there or Secretary of War is out there a little bit more. I think what it also is, Vance has always, from what I understand, Vance has always been a lot more uncomfortable with the policy of what's going on in Iran as well.

So it's interesting to see what's happening right now.

I think both Vance and Rubio have done an excellent job thus far in the administration.
