Yeah, absolutely, Raheem.

And really, it is an important issue for every American.

So many of us rely on local television for things that we care about, local news, local sports.

Even if maybe we use a streaming service for our news, our national news like this,

The reality is that more Americans tune in to the evening news at like five or six o'clock on their local TV news than any watch a big cable show like The Five, for instance.

And so really how Americans learn about what's happening in their communities, it starts with local news.

One of the interesting things, there's been polling out there and it consistently says two things.

It says Americans don't trust the national legacy media,

for good reason right they've been burned by the hunter biden laptop by covet 19 they've all these things they've been burnt and so they don't trust the national media but they still trust especially local television news and so it's important that our policy makers kind of encourage local tv and the reality as you point out

is that local TV is subject to these antiquated regulations that have been around for decades, and our media marketplace doesn't look the same as it did decades ago.

Decades ago, there was no Google, there was no YouTube TV, there were no of these Silicon Valley giants who were dominating the media landscape.

And so it's really important

for the Federal Communications Commission, the regulatory authority over these issues, to look at these rules and I think provide greater free markets for local broadcasters to grow and survive in the coming years.

Yeah, I'll tell you who benefits.

It's Silicon Valley and the national networks, right?

It's the people, frankly, who don't share our values as conservatives.

It's the people who aren't fans of President Trump.

They're the ones who are benefiting from the current rules because it's essentially handicapping the competition, right?

It's the government coming in and putting a huge thumb on the scale in favor of

streamers and in favor of Silicon Valley and in favor of the national networks like ABC and NBC.
