Oh, if I could moderate one of the debates, What is something I would like to ask.

I don't think there's a particular question that I'm concerned about.

The, um if I could moderate a debate, I don't think there's a particular question that I would ask.

That would be, like, more poignant than any other.

The biggest thing I think America needs to do.

Any network that does it, I think they'll change.

Is there needs to be fact checking out the debates.

Theo, Here's the Here's the issue I have.

We live in a world where people are on stage debating right.

Everyone gets to spew their own fact, their own statistic, their own information and with its Democrats fighting each other with this Republicans and Democrats, when the big debate comes, most people at home we don't know.

You know, unless you're like an insane wonk, most of us just like I don't know.

So, for instance, at the last debate, it was when Clover Shawn but Biden were fighting and he was like, I wrote that damn lawn.

Like I wrote, I wrote I wrote and then both people, just like I wrote it.

And if you're at home, you're just like who wrote it on then the moderates was like, All right, let's move on.

If somebody answers a question, Hey, you say you did this or this was like Bloomberg.

He's like I stopped, stop and frisk when I realized it was bad and then the people are ID.

Let's move on and it's like No, no, no, but you didn't.

Well, actually, the quartet to step in, and then you were challenged than you were sued.

And this is the editor that this is actually and I feel like that needs to happen because you can't rely on everybody to know everything.

That's what your job should be as a moderator, because we have to establish some sort of fact.

Trump is gonna come with flames when it's the general.

Corona Virus is going on with No, it's not.

And then the moderators will be like, All right, let's move on.

You have to have somebody just like on a game show.

It's weird that America treats its game shows more seriously than the debates where they'll step in and be like up.

It was actually 1967 and oh, I imagine if game shows like debates in America is just like who in 1946 was the first person to race from coast to coast, using ah horse and buggy carriage and you'd be like a Peter Michael.

So if you can establish a baseline effect which start to understand which candidates like toeing the line in terms of truth and then you would get to see like okay, this person knows what they're talking about.

 This person is full of shit, and I think we would all appreciate that.
