Here's a fun question from I am a free spirit, perfect username, by the way, for, for having such a fun question. It's just perfect. I love it. It says ferret cousins. My question is, will you ever try to run for the presidency? And if, are you going to choose Jesse Dollemore or Glenn Kirchner or Robert Rice or Bernie Sanders or any of the other good candidates as running mates? I am an independent voter and can see already, you know, what they offer as independent candidates. Uh, thank you and God bless you and your family. Well, thank you very much for that. Uh, uh, kind note. Um, here is the thing. Would I ever run for president? No, probably not. And I have to stress the, probably because I cannot see the future. I do not know what could happen. Like weird things happen in this country, especially in politics, anything is possible.

So, eh, i I don't plan to, but you never know. Now, as for the running mates, cuz I do, I do like that. I think that's the far more interesting question. If I were putting together, you know, I fairen cousins am running for president, uh, that's not my announcement. I'm just saying in this scenario, I, I would pick Jesse, do Lamore, not as a running mate. I, I love Jesse Jesse's gonna be my Secretary of defense. Glenn Kirchner, brilliant. He can be Attorney General. There you go. Robert Reich, love you. I'm putting you back in charge of labor. Bernie Sanders, I need you in the Senate. So thank you for all you do. But you're not a part of my administration.

As for my running mate, what I would need as any president would is somebody that plays to your weaknesses, right? You look at yourself and where you aren't very good and you pick somebody that is good at those things, but maybe doesn't have the things that you excel at. And in my opinion, there's only one person that comes to mind with that. Tom Hartman. Not only is he brilliant, not saying I'm, I'm not, I, I think I'm very smart, but I've talked to Tom in person tons of times. Nobody's as smart as Tom Hartman anywhere, ever for any reason, just doesn't exist. So Tom Hartman is brilliant, but he's calm and he's collected and he can talk to people without losing his temper. Um, something I struggle with. So I think Tom Hartman would be the best compliment to me if I were running for president. Another possible pick for vice president based on those very same principles and for the very same reasons would be David PackMan. So if for some reason Tom Hartman says, fair and thanks, but no thanks, I'm not gonna do it, then I'm gonna text David and be like, David, it's time dude, let's go. Um, so there's that. I think for my chief of staff, basically somebody to, to

Advise me, I'm gonna have to go with my friend Sam Cedar on that. Um, I, I, I, I think not only is Sam just genuinely brilliant, uh, he's also been a, a good friend and he's given me very good life advice. So Sam Cedar's gonna be my chief of staff. Um, gonna pack the rest of the cabinet with other progressive talkers out there. Definitely gonna have David Dole in there, even though, hey, I know he is Canadian, but hey, he's a great guy and he's smart and he's good. Mike Freto, uh, you're coming with me, Jeff Waldorf, Kyle Kalinsky, and Crystal Ball. Y'all are welcome as well. So yeah, we, we'd have a good like progressive commentator cabinet, but unfortunately that might also kill progressive media on YouTube. So I don't know if that's the smartest thing, but all those people that I have named here, I have tremendous respect for them. I think they're great at what they do, and those are the people I would surround myself with if I were in higher office, be a hell of a cabinet, a hell of a political party, and possibly even a hell of a party itself. But if I were to run for president, which again, I have no plans to do. So those would be my picks.
