Down-leaning voters, 67%, extremely motivated to vote.

GOP-leaning, just 46%.

Dan, at this point, it all comes down to turnout.

Well, definitely have your answer ready.

It's like you don't go into a job interview not knowing what your strength is and what your biggest weakness is.

And your weakness can't be that, like, you're always early for everything or whatever.

I mean, but I am.

I care too much.

What I would say about the ad is if you listen to what they're actually saying, that ad could have run if it was directed at the correct audience because they say kids who just want to play and trans youth.

So if you're talking about prepubescent kids,

If you're talking about a 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-year-old, whatever, that's one thing.

But if you're talking about people that are trying to compete after you've gone through puberty when the real biological changes happen, that's when this issue actually gets more dicey.

But in general, I would be thrilled if we were not talking about this issue whatsoever in 2026 and just talking about the economy and health care and national security and all of those kinds of issues.

Absolutely.

I mean, we've become so attentive to the loneliness culture or crisis, I should say, quote unquote, and talking about how senior citizens basically just rot, right?

Like in whatever, if they're in a nursing home and no one's coming to visit them, et cetera.

The same thing exists for you no matter how old you are.

We're a social species.

We want to be around other people, human touch.
