I think I'm addicted to it.
Yeah.
I mean, look, public safety is always going to fall to the attorney general.
So whether things are good or whether things are bad on the criminal justice front, it kind of falls to you to be the spokesperson on that.
And so that will always be, you know, a priority of the office.
And then kind of when you look outside of Alabama, what our role is in the national conversation is.
The AG's job is to make sure that Alabama maintains its sovereignty over the issues that were given to the people from the day our country was founded.
And so there's a lot of conflict with Washington.
Sometimes even with a friendly administration, there's still a lot of bureaucrats in Washington that want to kind of own the states and boss us around.
And so those two big picture things will always be at bottom of what you do as AG.
And then
The rest is kind of what's going on in the world.
Is there an opioid crisis?
Is there a pandemic where constitutional rights are in jeopardy?
You just never know.
Are there going to be boys and girls sports?
You never know what may pop up.
So you kind of have the things you know you've got to prioritize, and then you've got to leave a lot of bandwidth to react appropriately for things that come up.
Yeah.
That's an insightful question because I think in most political offices, you can pretty much get away with saying anything.
