I did. I was a little struck also that, of course, they were able to knock down conspiracies when they want to and say, I've looked at the facts and it's not true. So for me, it brings home how unbelievably – irresponsible is not even close to the word, cynical and demagogic they are in exploiting the people who believe in all these things. They don't believe it.

I think that's a bit of a mistake some of our friends make that, you know, they've all gone down this rabbit hole. I don't believe that. They all know what they're doing. They are all utterly cynical people exploiting foolishness and misinformation for their own political and mercenary ends.

But they're also capable of, when they feel they have to, of course, they knock down the... Weren't you amused by how much the rhetoric is so much like it when one of, you know, a public health official says, look, I'm sorry, I've looked at the data. It's not right. I mean, it's like suddenly they sound like, you know, semi-normal public officials, right?

Yeah, no, immediately. Dan Bongino has to sound like you, Andrew McCabe, or whoever. It's like having to do the responsible thing. The only silver lining, I guess, is that there's an alternate universe where Cash and Dan Bongino were... you know, trumping up charges on people over all of this stuff. So I guess this is preferable to that. But no, your point is well taken.

Just about how, like, embarrassing it is that anybody who's being honest with themselves had Kamala won. Cash and Bongino would have been every day.

on their podcasts, on their social media feeds, on their grifty book tours, talking about how the Harris administration was covering up Epstein because of the Clinton body count or whatever, and how they're covering up the fact that the assassination attempt on Trump was a deep state effort to take out the Republican presidential candidate. And they would be banging the drum on that.

They'd be getting rich on that. That is what those guys would be doing. There's absolutely no doubt about it. And you get into a responsibility and they have to say what is real and have to be, I guess, the victim of the type of demagoguery they would have been engaging in. So there's a little joy in that.
