Yeah, I mean, listen, it was difficult to watch, cringe is being used, that word is overused right now, but there's no other word to use. There was a lot of nonverbal that I think people finally saw, and it was it was a difficult one to watch. And also, I think one of the reasons that both candidates, Biden and Trump agreed to this, which by the way, they excluded Kennedy from he, if you go against like there were six qualifying polls and confirmed ballot access in more states for this independent candidate that is Robert F Kennedy, and they did not allow him on the stage. He is decried, this is an act of collusion. It doesn't really matter. But the point I'm trying to make here is that if this was designed by Trump and Biden, because Biden thought, okay, it's CNN, they're my friend, it's going to be great. And Trump thought if it goes poorly, I can just say it was CNN, it was rigged. What ended up happening was that when they cut Trump's mic, it actually looked made him look much more cogent and like less bellicose than he normally does. When they let Biden go on, that hurt him, that really hurt him because he began to trail and lost his train of thought. And that was very hard to watch. So in a lot of ways, whatever the intention was, number one, it didn't really seem like it was executed at all. If that was the intention and I'm speculating here. But aside from that, it ended up being what I think many would say this morning was if you're just looking at the, like the referee, the guardrails here, pretty, pretty even. Well, I got to tell you, the person that decided from CNN's point of view to go to go with the split screen, you didn't need to hear Donald Trump. His facial expression spoke a thousand words. I mean, he's a master at working the camera. And boy, did he make it clear yesterday? And in the whole comment about, I'm not sure what he just said. In fact, I'm not even sure he knows what he just said. One of the biggest lines of the night. All right, Aaron, thank you so much. I appreciate you.
