One is campaign contributions.

One is how they use it as a campaign tool.

And the third is how they talk about it as an issue.

So if you put all those in the blender, do you think either party between now and 2028 is poised to have an advantage because of the use of AI?

Yeah, I'm so curious to know how Charlie Kirk would be using AI right now and what he thought of it, because obviously he was always interested in the next big thing.

Lastly, 20 years from now, Natalie, will we say about America's kids that AI made them better off or worse off 20 years from now?

Would you guess?

Congressman, are you bearish or bullish on America's AI future?

I think there'll be some growing pains in the beginning, but who has said that America always does the right thing after it's tried everything else?

I think we'll find our footing and there'll be some growing pains, but eventually we'll get it right.

It harkens back to the invention of the internet, which was supposed to be the doomsday for traditional learning and kids, and they wouldn't learn anything anymore.

But

You know, we kind of adapt.

You know, we always adapt.

And the important thing is to put the guardrails in place to protect our most vulnerable.

I think, according to AI, that quote about America always doing the right thing in the end, it's either Winston Churchill or Winnie the Pooh.

Very grateful to you both, Natalie and Congressman.

I'm really grateful to have you on.

Wonderful conversation.

And just inside joke, neither of you gets a pinata, but you both did great.
