Well, the conservative position and our founder's position was actually that we should have a very limited federal government. And that's a good thing, in my opinion. I share that view. Of course, that's bad if you're in California because we're stuck with that. But there is a creeping trend on the right, the so-called conservative side. Say, let's solve all these problems.

Let's solve the California problem by passing federal laws and regulations. And, you know, there was a there was a I don't know if it's still there, but there's a great account on X called a crime a day. And it's just like there's so many criminal statutes out there.

And find some expert who's willing to testify that the... Right. Level of care wasn't taken and all of that. So I don't think more federal government or bigger federal government is the answer. I do think that the current trend to cut the size of the government is a good one, except there are certain basic not my department that it could be cut, but.
