do that. You know I was in charge of making sure you had the option, but I would never make them mandatory because I would not want mandatory constraints on your body. But you might. I mean you might want to do it on your own in your states, but it's out of my control. And I think you're both happy. Everybody's happy that I don't have anything to control your body. Everybody good with that? It'd b…

do that kind of funding and he's not going to endorse anybody. He's not going to get political. What's that sound like to you? That's a Trump endorsement. I'm sorry, it's a Trump endorsement. He's not going to spend money to help the Democrats alter elections the way they had. He said that Trump did the most badass thing he'd ever seen when he did the fight fight after he got shot. He's seen that the Democrats are the enemy trying to censor him. And his entire game is free communication and they were trying to ruin the most basic thing about his platform, which is some of its honest. And I think you know Zuckerberg, he's one of those people that I love the fact that you don't have to wonder if he's being dumb. You can just rule that out. You know lots of times when you see somebody doing something that maybe isn't what you would do you say oh maybe they're dumb. You know maybe they have some clever thing I don't know about but maybe they're dumb. You don't have to worry about that. Zuckerberg isn't dumb. Like we all agree on that, right?

So I think not endorsing anybody in the current environment, you're endorsing Trump. That's what it feels like. Now I'm not going to put words in his mind and I'm not going to read his mind so I don't know that. I'm telling you how I feel. What I feel is that it's no longer necessary to oppose Hitler, you know what I mean? If you thought Trump was Hitler and the other side are the good guys, you kind of have an obligation to be against them or at least say the words even if you don't do things. But if you're not willing to say the words and you're not willing to do things, at the very least he doesn't think Trump is Hitler. That's a big deal. Because I suspect maybe he did think that because he was acting like he did anyway.

So Harris now has changed her view on having live microphones that are open during the debate. So in other words Trump's microphone would still be on while she's doing her talking and that makes interrupting possible. Why in the world would Kamala Harris want to invite Trump interrupting? Well here's what I think. Remember I keep telling you that she's got this David Plouffe guy working for her and I think he might be a genius for all this stuff because he keeps doing non-standard things that work. Such as why don't we just have her give no interviews? I mean who comes up with that idea in the first place? Like who even come up with that idea of just not having her in public? And it works. It works. So every time you see somebody come up with a very non-standard idea and then it just totally works

, you're probably looking at genius if it happens more than once. So now this little bit feels a little like genius but maybe desperation too. Because you could have them at the same time. I think it's obvious that Harris cannot win a debate against Trump and I would think that the Democrats know that. But what they could do is make Trump look like a bully. What they could do is give Kamala a who…
