Why or why not? matched

Okay. matched

I guess I still don't want to go back to my previous question because you make the point that you feel like you are mentally sharp. matched

You feel that you have a lot of energy. matched

And I get your argument against something like an age cap because it would not take those things into consideration. matched

But what matched

Representative Perez is proposing is something about a cognitive acuity. matched

And theoretically, you know, even an 86-year-old would be able to pass that. matched

What's your opposition to something like that? matched

I didn't say I had the opposition to it. matched

Okay. matched

That's it. matched
