I don't think there's ever been a time on this show where we don't at least run through

very quickly the ideas that we're going.

This is an unscripted show, but I know what sort of news pieces and things we're going to

talk about.

We do that, you know, on Wednesday night.

This is actually the first show where we just didn't get that to happen last night.

It was really, really busy all day, couldn't squeeze in, couldn't get on a Zoom call. And then to miss the flight, man, we couldn't really do it this morning.

So we were about, as, as this one said, we're doing it live. We're going to do it live today.

And not just any show, maybe one of the more dangerous and precarious shows I'm ever going to do,

because I actually want to step into a space that

we have avoided for over 18 months. A conversation about where I've been when some of you

were asking, why am I seeing Dell on stage with Bobby Kennedy or, oh my God, he's on stage

with Donald Trump, what's happening there? I'm going to get into some of those details. And in order to do that,

I want to start out with a caveat right here, just to be very clear. And I'll probably say this

several times because this is what makes it so precarious. The high wire is actually an educational

program that is put on by our nonprofit, the informed consent action network. There are very strict rules

around a nonprofit. The ability for us to give you tax deductions when you donate, also

to remain anonymous, make it so that we're not really allowed or supposed to talk about things

that might affect an election. We get you to elect a specific candidate. We can't endorse a specific candidate.

Can't really talk about them.

And so, thus, we've really avoided any conversations like that.

And it was difficult.
