Hello and welcome back to even more news the first and only news podcast I'm Katie Stoll hi Katie Stoll I'm Cody Johnston Cote Johnston the thing you just said.

On the thing I just said.

Also on the thing I just said is former Crack.com executive editor and author of the new book Zoe is too drunk for this

dystopia it's Jason Pardon. Hi. So I watched your recent video on why American elections are so long.

And I have decided I can't do it.

Yeah, you off the air.

Oh, that's fair. That's my I'm making that announcement on this

podcast on your show. My announcement regarding the 2024 presidential election is

I can't. I don't have the capacity I don't have the mental and emotional

capacity and if those who have not seen the video or those of you listeners who are

from outside the United States or do not follow our presidential elections closely please

understand some of you are saying but that election is a year away you're talking

about November of 2024 it is not a year away it is now the process takes a year and also has been going on for a year. But the first

caucus, the first primary, is in January right after Christmas. So it starts now.

So the headline and the campaigning and

normally in a normal election cycle that is to try to find your two candidates

but this time we apparently know who the two candidates are going to be. So it will be an entire year of just

Donald Trump trying to think of ways to get him into the headlines because that's his only electoral

technique he knows is to generate outrage headlines and CNN and all those places

who depend on that for their revenue, their business model now.

I cannot handle a consecutive year of that.

I cannot.
