So guard your elderly and your women. But we start by doing Media Matters on the ropes. Yes, terrible times over at Media Matters.

You might not know who Media Matters is as an organization. I mean, really, why would you,

unless you're either obsessed with politics are very, very bored? But they're an organization that has existed for a long time to try to, I mean, basically summarize what they do. They try to take conservatives out of context to ruin their lives. Like, that's like their jobs. And they've had that job for quite a long time. So long, I said to the producer today, I was like, you know, we should go back to the first time. I remember the first time Media Matters wrote something about

us. This is back in 2004. This is the headline. Did Colin Powell draw the short straw?

But it was a, there was a game plan there. And I remember the first time being like, oh, my gosh, like they're going to go after all of our advertisers. And then you're like, you sit back and you realize, well, wait a minute, these people all own companies. They're smart people. They're not idiots, right?
