Now, it's been a whirlwind for you guys. I know the FCC is involved in a lot and you're heading up a lot of initiatives in the upcoming weeks and months. And I wanted to ask you about many of them. So there's a lot of questions coming. First, during the presidential campaign, 60 Minutes famously aired an edited version of its interview with presidential candidate VP Kamala Harris.

So several investigations here. And this brings me to my final question. Do you see the FCC as having a more active or less active role in monitoring media companies under Trump?

Now, I said that was my last question, but you brought up the censorship cartel that's been put in place through these various companies, big tech companies. The Daily Wire is particularly interested in this, obviously. Have you guys looked at the trend of jawboning and the government using fact checkers and news site ratings in coordination with big tech companies to censor people?
