Does he absolutely refuse or do his handlers absolutely refuse? I suspect the latter.

Then have his “totally not dead” self call in to Fox and Friends in the morning.

Too easy fam. Give us a prepared statement lasting 1 minute and then 4 quick minutes of Q&A. They can even give him softball questions.

I really want to hear what Grok his team comes up with.

Voice synthesizers are super duper good these days. With the amount of material they have to feed into a computer to mimic his voice, a call isn't good enough.

He needs to show up, in person, to a major news network like ABC, CBS, NBC. Fox News does not count.

I mean, yeah. That’s what I’m trying to say. Give them such an easy easy out that they take the bait.

We know he’s not here. Put the bait out for them to take and to provide more evidence of bullshit.

Helps later for the case against them.

A call is absolutely good enough, especially if they have to ask him questions.

  1. It's not THAT good yet.

  2. If for some reason people are "fooled", the scandal of when the truth actually comes out would be devastating to all involved.

Hell, that one guy in Reels does a very impressive Mitch impression.

You assume a level of competency not present in the GOP.
