Yeah, or be rich.

It's, you know, I was talking to a couple members the other day and they said that now 50% of their time is spent fundraising.

And, you know, I mean, I don't even know how you find the time.

You barely sleep, but that is just...

miserable um to have to sit there and call people and call people and you know and there's a point of everyone admits that there's a point of diminishing returns that too much money actually stops working but you still have to raise it and you still have to spend it

Well, and then Trump has, you know, a billion dollars of his own money that he could spend to help House Republicans keep the majority.

He hasn't yet.

He has said that he will help, but they have not yet gotten a commitment as to how much, how, what that's going to look like.

And I'm really interested.

I don't know the answer to this yet, but I'm really interested, like,

Is he going to spend a bunch of money to try to primary state senators who don't go along with redistricting, which will have no impact on control of the House?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

And, you know, and getting back to the lack of legislating, Trump is so determined to keep control of the House that he unleashed this entire bloody redistricting war.

For what?

Not to legislate because he does not want to get impeached again.

Like, so... But what's the likelihood of that?

I think it's low.

Yeah, no, I agree.

And I think that it's I think that Democrats aren't going to do it.

You know, we'll see what Trump does.
