I am also hopeful that Congress will step up and do some strong oversight.

We have had some of that, but it's really important to make clear what's happening.

The Jimmy Kimmel incident was so shocking to the public, but these threats, these actions by the administration have been going on already for a year.

or close to a year when that happened.

It was just that was the one that really broke through the public.

And when it did, that's when the public said, wait a minute, we're not going to tolerate this.

And that's part of, I think, why Disney has chosen to fight because they really lost a lot of subscribers.

Yeah.

It was bad business for them.

So I am hopeful that if we continue to make it clear what's happening with this administration,

that the courts continue to uphold the First Amendment and free speech and free press, and that Congress will continue its oversight, and that the public in general will continue to demand that we respect our Constitution.

There's not that many of us in the administration, that's for sure.

But where I've seen that there are some left, they have actually been speaking out and pushing back where this administration is violating the law or...

abusing its authority in order to go after companies that aren't bending the knee, are refusing to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, things like that.

But when you speak out, I think it really has a strong effect because we need, and this is part of the reason why we need the Fourth Estate, right, is we need to be held to account.

And that is why we need reporting on what is happening.

But it also helps when you have Democrats speaking out against what this administration is doing.

Yeah, expanding access to the internet is so important.

We live in a digital economy.

Not only do we live in a digital economy, but now we have the AI economy that is very quickly coming upon us.
