And as you say, it's not just that he said nothing. It's that he was there and said nothing for weeks until it became perfectly obvious that Joe Biden was going to absolutely get clobbered by Trump in November. And at that point, that's when he said. Now, it would have been something if after that event, like the day after he had said, yeah, I saw him on stage.

He looked terrible and we really need to get rid of him. Even that would have been late because the reality is that George Clooney has had access to Joe Biden for several years at this point, and Biden's been ailing. But as you say, the timeline doesn't match up. And again, I don't know why Democrats insist on throwing actors out there to pretend that they are the role that they are playing.

Right. George Clooney is not a doctor because he was on ER. And George Clooney is not a journalist because he's in Good Night and Good Luck.

It is a very bizarre relationship that these folks have with Hollywood where they still yearn after Martin Sheen because he once played the president on TV. And now George Clooney is their moral leader when it comes to journalism.

How about you actually provide us examples of people in the field that you're talking about who you think are really good at this and use those people as the examples as opposed to the actor who's playing the thing to lecture you about the thing, but only when President Trump is president. He underwent a four-year kind of missing process

inaction period where suddenly, apparently journalism was just fine. Like several years there, journalism was totally fine, except on the one issue where he decided he had to sound off to kind of throw Joe Biden off the back of the bus. But apparently journalism was fine covering the Biden administration until precisely the moment he decided it wasn't. It's pretty selective.

Megan, this isn't my point where I'm gonna lecture you about where you're sending your kids to school, but we're friends and you totally should not be sending your kids to this school. Like this is bad.

OK, that's fine. But but you need to be on the school board and then you need to be on the list of journalists, obviously. And if they're talking about female journalists, I don't need to be on it.
