Yeah. You know, I was asked this earlier today at a press conference. You know, what what should you know, what what should we do to amplify this? Look, it's happening on its own. I can tell you that, you know, we've seen polling data in the state of Illinois where back in December and January, voters out there wanted leaders in Illinois to work with Donald Trump to get things done.
We're now a month and a half after that. And I've seen polling data very recently that says, actually, instead, now they want you to resist Donald Trump. So that's the beginning of the fall of his numbers. And it's going to be a challenging, I think, spring and summer for him because people's lives are being affected in a negative way.

I do think that one of the things that we need to be doing is talking about not only preserving important institutions that preserve people's way of life. By the way, do you want to get on an airplane and know that there aren't air traffic controllers in the tower that can do the job? Elon Musk letting go air traffic controllers.

And then I think yesterday tweeting, oh, no, we need hundreds of them to come back, please. The Ebola scientists that they fired and then discovered, oh, I guess we do need to actually react when there's a deadly disease that needs to be addressed. So those institutions and NOAA, I don't know if you've heard about the, you know, they're shutting down.

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Remember, that's the thing that helps you know whether the hurricane is coming to Florida or to Georgia or to Texas. And so these are the things, you know, if they tear all that down, your daily life is going to be affected. And that's what's happening now. So what should we be doing? Well, first, we need to highlight what they're tearing down.

Medicaid. If we're not talking about Medicaid and health care for people, we're missing the boat because seniors, children in my state, half of children are on Medicaid. Half. And seniors, you know, everybody either has a grandma or has a friend with a grandma who's in a nursing home because she has Medicaid and won't be in the nursing home if she loses her Medicaid.

So these are the things I think, again, that we ought to be focusing on. And I think that's why you're going to see those poll numbers dropping. You are right about Elon Musk. Those numbers have been dropping like a rock. And it's certainly a feature of talking points to point at this person who is literally the wealthiest person in the world and who is now essentially running the U.S. government.

And particularly, you know, remember Teddy Roosevelt and antitrust laws. You know, that's why there are antitrust laws. You don't want any one company or any one person to have too much economic power in this country. You're absolutely free to go out and earn like heck and become a millionaire and a billionaire.
