It's not something that is necessarily...
picked up by the New York Times, although here we are talking about it in interesting times.

Those sorts of stories, those sorts of movements that are really, I would say, long-term movements that are very much really underground.
You don't really see them necessarily.

for any party, but certainly for the Republicans.
And you see that happening with the administration.
They're picking that up.
I mean, the child tax credit, Trump accounts, conversations about, you know, how do we... The Trump accounts, though, aren't available when you're having the baby.
Right, you've got to do it every year for 18 years or whatever the span is.
But yeah, I see what you're saying, meaning they're not giving a chunk of cash right when baby is born, and that would be profoundly helpful for a lot of people.

That's what I think.
I think that births should be free.
Here I might sound a little bit not like your typical Republican, but you see this sort of language now happening more on the right, where if we're gonna be spending taxpayer funds, it should go to what is really an existential crisis that we're facing, which is our plummeting birth rates.
You wanna talk about it from the 100,000 foot view.
And we want to make America healthier for families and better for parents.
