Story of the moment is um John McCain's um running the most disgraceful campaign in American history, possibly.
voice-verified
Um maybe in world history.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
So it's so it's been pretty disgraceful.
voice-verified
So basically McCain has um there's been sort of a flurry of
voice-verified
ads, statements, um sort of back and forths that have in different ways, you know, from from the McCain campaign sort of shaded the truth um or not shaded the truth, ha you know, have been outright lies.

Redacted it

So it's basically the final the final divorce between John McCain and the reporters who used to love him.

voice-verified

voice-verified
I think we're both being pretty skeptical about it.
voice-verified
No, I I don't I don't remember
voice-verified
It's kind of amazing how different that moment is.
