Yeah, the other thing I want to add is that people probably don't vote on this. You're exactly right, Chuck. But I do think people are concerned about it. And not just Democrats, not just Republicans in a very bipartisan way. I think they see the negative parts. And one of the things that we're seeing right now is we're seeing nobody doing town hall meetings.

They've been told, don't do town hall meetings. What's the only time that you could really get a senator or a congressman to do a town hall meeting? During election. Now they don't even have to do it then. They just put the ads up and then they go underground and just let the ads do the talking. And it's really, I think people are getting sick of it. I really do.

And I think there is going to be an opportunity, if handled correctly, to be able to make some, ain't going to be able to fix it all in one fell swoop, be able to make some steps in the right direction to put more transparency on this money and find out who's trying to influence your opinion on this election and why.

It shouldn't be. I think part of it has to do with, I think, leadership on both sides. Yeah, I think this is an advantage for each one of their parties.

Yeah. No, that's right. And instead, let's just do the right thing. Let's just fix it. I mean, and by the way, you know, this, the candidates do have the caps. They do are supposed to be transparency. The problem is, is the money. And I would say most of the money is flying through these C4s, which is total dark money.

So let me give you a real one that happened last week. Making the weather. We're going to talk about men playing girls basketball. And I say to people, show me one example in the state of Montana where this is happening. Just one example. But no, that's what the ads on TV were about, for God's sake. So it wasn't about the national debt. It wasn't about climate change.
