And you're like, oh, I have this thing that I bought 1845.

I think you're exactly right.

I think that the filibuster, it's just a matter of time.

I think it's on borrowed time.

And I think in a world where it is on borrowed time, Jason, I think your path is probably the one that gives the American party, if it does come into existence, the most leverage, which is if you control three to five independent candidates, you gain substantial leverage.

I just want to take a step back and just note something.

I don't know if you guys know this, but the only reason we're even having this conversation or this is even possible is because in 2023,

the FEC, Federal Elections Commission, they actually released guidance, and they changed a bunch of rules.

And the big change that they made then was it allowed super PACs to do a lot more than just run ads.

Up until that point, all you could do if you were a super PAC is just basically run advertising, television and radio, I guess online as well.

But what they were allowed to do starting in 23 was they were allowed to fund ground operations.

They were allowed to do things like door knocking, phone banking, you know, get out the vote.

So in other words, what happened was a super PAC became more like a full campaign machine.

And Trump showed the blueprint of using a super PAC, specifically his, to win the presidential election.

So he was able to fund this massive ground game.

He built infrastructure across the swing states.

He was obviously incredibly effective.

And now that playbook can actually be used by other folks.

And so to the extent that Elon decides to use those changed FEC rules, Jason, I think what you said is the only path.

But I just wanted to double click on Keith's point because it's so important.
