But even like foreign policy discussions where Trump is immaterial to the conversation, they give you information right up to the point where you're like, all right, we'll show us information. And they kind of give you the wink and they're like, we can't talk about all of it. Yeah, yeah. You know, because they're pushing the agenda. It is deeply, deeply problematic. I'm really glad he did it.

Yeah, I think there's two separate questions that your last point is is right. And I think that all of that requires review.

And given the role that he played in the first Trump administration with a very aggressive posture towards Iran, those were real. And we don't know anything that's at all classified, but I can tell you that it was a thing. Now, whether it's no longer a thing, I don't know. And I don't know what would cause them to pull it.

And I don't know the answers to those questions, right? I mean, we don't have any idea.
