I planned on taking the first flight out this morning.

from Tampa to get to Philadelphia and then driving to Wildwood, New Jersey, which is a hard place to get to, honestly.

And so that was going to be my path today.

But I got a call late last night from the attorney general's office saying that they're going to do this press conference.

And so that was something that we had to do.

And there was just no conceivable logistical way for me to get up to Wildwood.

I recorded a video for them.

I don't know if it's playing.

Perhaps it's playing right now at this moment.

But we were honored to be invited.

We want to play offense today.

This kind of dovetails beautifully into our last question, Steve, which is, you know, what does playing offense look like?

I mean, playing offense looks like going into enemy territory.

How do you win a war?

You don't win a war through a World War I-style stalemate, through trench warfare where it's like five feet one way or the other.

You win a war by taking ground, by taking resources from the enemy, by taking their resources and using it against them, by going deep into enemy territory, by proving your power.

And I mean, of course, that's what terrified them about the whole Jimmy Kimmel saga was these people thought they were untouchable.

And they realized in that moment that they not only didn't have cultural power, they didn't have institutional or regulatory power.

And so they were totally and completely exposed.

And we were able to roll right into Moscow.
