Well, you can also hit—you can, like, do stop.

I know.

They find another way.

And then also then you hear these stories, like, you know, they sell their email lists to other groups.

Like, I think Kamala sold her email list to the DNC for, like, $7 million or something.

And now we get all of that, though—

I'm such a loser that basically every time Mark Kelly texts me, I kind of think maybe it's happening.

Like maybe he wants to come on the pod, but he just wants more money, which is fine.

And I think Mark Kelly should get a lot of money.

Two things I want to say.

One, I was like a little bit too much of a Debbie Downer about the innovation agenda stuff, at least the new Democrats.

I do think, you know, they have like a lot of funding for STEM training, which is important, even a child tax credit to provide support for families to make sure they can get that STEM training.

They have a startup visa program.

Investments in science, R&D, like all of these things are important.

They just don't feel like they're going to close the loop or help us quickly.

And this feels like a five alarm fire.

The second thing I wanted to say on the social media ban in Australia, so Rahm Emanuel is the only 2028 hopeful who has come out in support of it.

I think that more people should.

I don't know what happens, like if it ends up coming to fruition, but you should be talking that talk.

Like every governor that has banned phones in schools has not only had amazing results, but they have a bunch of constituents that are really happy with them and who feel like they have heard them.
