Yeah, and I haven't read the book yet, so I feel a little bit at a disadvantage trying to comment on it, but I do plan to. And as the guys have mentioned, we've talked to Alex about this a number of times during the period when he was getting a lot of criticism from outside.

I mean, it's hard to understate the consequences of groupthink and its ability to make you not see things that you don't want to see anyways. So that is almost certainly a huge part of what happened in D.C.

But from the excerpts that we read already, the coordinated effort on the part of the Biden administration to try and obscure the fact that the president was in fading health and just kind of waning in terms of his his actual capacities towards the towards the end. But really throughout his administration is one, again, not surprising to us, but is really revealing.

to kind of read out in the open like that. The disagreements between George Clooney and others, the kind of exercise of going through writing that letter, the fact that people were privately saying one thing about Joe Biden and what they knew was wrong and publicly saying quite another thing.

It's not just politics as usual, or perhaps it is, but that should make one very cynical and deeply concerned. I think there's been a lot of kind of suggestion that the blame here is with the party who lied or with the administration who lied. But As we've all pointed out already, a lot of the blame is with the mainstream media who just did not do their jobs for whatever reasons.

Well, there's so much culpability to go around here. I mean, you could talk about Joe Biden's responsibility and the fact that he shouldn't have run and that his administration tried to protect him. But Schumer and other prominent Democrats were well aware of Joe Biden's deficit. Totally. Very, very early on. We were having conversations about this back in 2016, to be totally frank.
