But so many people were focused on the information flow from Trump out into the Twitter sphere.

What we, I think, discounted was when Trump was scrolling Twitter regularly, he was getting bi-directional feedback.

Yes.

that does not exist right now, that avenue is not open the way it was in those years.

And I think it was really special and awesome about Trump that he was able to understand the zeitgeist and what the temperature and mood of the country was.

And I would love to see Trump back on Twitter posting regularly and seeing the feedback from users.

It's the global newswire.

It's where news is made.

And I think that people discount the significance of the platform when they say it doesn't have the same user base that you see on Meta or TikTok.

But the reality is the news that is made on X, Twitter, really pollinates to those other platforms extensively and I think drives all the action.

I think that it is.

I don't think so, because you would be limited in the inputs to your system, right?

I try to read a lot.

I try to watch cable news as little as possible, even though I'm a host of a cable show on One America News.

You know, I think we've lost an appreciation for like the 10,000 word piece in society today.

You know, I miss the long investigative reporting pieces we used to get at places like the National Pulse and, you know, places like Revolver News.

Yeah.

And more and more, the attention span of the country is limited, and so you've got to be able to convey messages sharply, crisply, so that they're absorbed and people can act on the information.

I do, yeah.

I'm on Twitter a good bit.
