hing when both of them absolutely need guarantees? I don't know. It's going to be really interesting. I do think they can get it done, but only because they're both incentivized to do it. They both want it done, and they might trust each other at least in the short run, but long run I don't know. Nothing can be guaranteed in the long run.

Well, let's talk about the leaders of the Democrats. Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, was on Bill Maher, and Bill Maher was talking about him as a potential future leader of the Democrats. And he said that the people said that Josh Shapiro couldn't become the VP choice to Kamala Harris because you're Jewish and that wouldn't be successful, you know, the way our country is. And Josh Shapiro had just the best answer to that. Now it's not a complete answer because he was talking about being governor, but he said when he ran for governor, his first ad featured his Friday night Shabbat, where because of his Jewish faith every Friday he'd be gathering with friends and family and having a celebratory, very much in the Jewish tradition, kind of a dinner.

So instead of hiding from it or — well, hiding is the wrong word — instead of downplaying his religion and just saying stuff like it doesn't matter, he just opened the door and said here it is. Here's what we do. I like my religion. You like your religion. Let's talk.

Now to me that was one of the most brilliant things he could have ever done because here's what I know about people. People will distrust anything they're unfamiliar with. It's just sort of a reflex. So it's not like people would be necessarily anti-Semitic. It would just be something different, and they'd say I'm not sure I understand that or I know it, or I don't know anybody who is Jewish, they might say. So I don't know if I trust it. But he leads with it and says I have no secrets here. Here's my deal. Here's how I worship. I love how I worship. I love how you worship. Let's all be worshippers. That is so disarming. It's just so disarming. So to me that's brilliant, just to lead with it and say, you know, I'm a good person, you're a good person, we don't even need to talk about this, but if you have questions, glad to answer.

The trouble is I don't think that would work for national office. It's a brilliant thing for local or governor, but as soon as you're talking about the federal government, then it instantly turns into so how much do you like Israel, and are you going to support Israel over the United States? Would you treat it as an equal? So you get all those questions, and those don't have to do with whether we like anybody's
