Look, I feel energized.

I loved my time at NBC.

I have said, you know, didn't love the decision making that was taking place over the last 18 months.

But I know it wasn't that these were this was above their pay grades.

So I would say there have always been a number of members.

You know, Don Beyer from Virginia is very thoughtful on this.

They were executing a strategy that the corporation decided it wanted out of the news business.

Earl Blumenauer was great, still is, but not a member of Congress anymore.

And I like I said, we've seen it, whether it's Disney, whether it's Comcast, whether it's Paramount, whether it's Warner Brothers.

Jamie Raskin's very thoughtful.

I think the challenge that all of us get in, we're elected every two years.

We got to stay focused on things that the public cares about.

Donald Trump has made it very difficult on publicly traded companies to get treated fairly in the regulatory process if they have a news division that tries to practice distributing and reporting on the news honestly.

And I think the number of members who think about this stuff and care about it is much higher than the number of members who are willing to say, I'm going to prioritize this over all the things that the voters are telling me to prioritize at any given time.

And so-

And that presents all sorts of challenge.

I was I did a thing about this with some various other podcasters recently.

They have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

And when everybody said, what's the most important thing we can do to drive this forward is just make noise about it.
