I think there's always people like, well, she lost, so it didn't work.

But it's possible that they were looking at a five to ten point loss and they closed that to a hundred eighty thousand votes in three states lost.

I don't know.

So that's the hard thing to kind of gear up for.

But I've been in that position where you got to make tough calls and it sucks.

I don't know, because I don't have the information.

It's the truest answer to it.

It's easy to say you lost, but she may have maximized her vote.

I think the thing to keep in mind is,

the inflationary crisis that we went through dragged down every major political party and every major political leader in the West for the last, you know, three, four years.

Like everybody lost and there's no ideological consistency to it.

She actually, before the Canadian elections, she overperformed better than any other incumbent party than anybody else had.

Now you can quibble and like, to me, it's,

I think the bigger issue that you can kind of pinpoint is they got really risk averse in the media appearances and what they were allowing her to do.

And so if she had gone on Rogan for three hours, could that have flipped 180,000 voters in three battleground states?

I don't know.

But I know that Trump reached like 10 million people on Rogan's YouTube page alone.

not to mention the economy of scale that exists below Rogan that pushes things out.

That's probably like 100 million impressions that she didn't get.

You'd have to do MSNBC every day, every hour for like 100 days to get any kind of exposure even similar to that, and certainly not with the same audience.
