Well, I mean, one of the issues here, obviously, is the continued legitimacy of the Supreme Court, which, again, another institution being undermined.

So our sponsors over at Kalshi are taking a look on when there's a big Voting Rights Act opinion that's supposed to come down from the Supreme Court.

And, you know, there's a Kalshi market for pretty much everything, including when that is supposed to happen.

And I believe it looks like a heavy favoring of the idea that it's going to come down before January, but not before May.

It won't be in the next term.

So that is what Kalsha has to say about that.

The one thing that I would add with regard to all of this is that I actually am, I'm with Drew in the sense that I'm actually weirdly more hopeful about the possibility of retaking some of these institutions than I was a few years ago.

The number of people that I hear from in Hollywood

to just to take like the most obvious example of a left-wing preserve for the past, my entire life.

The number of people who I hear from in Hollywood who are legitimately like big names, but who are, but who have awoken to the fact that Hollywood has lost its mind, I mean, truly well and good lost its mind, is pretty extraordinary.

And I think that, you know, there are moves that are being made in these arenas that are opening apertures that did not exist before.

And it's not just, you know, random creators in their bedroom making AI videos.

It's people who are

who are actually making films and who are finding new methods of distribution.

It's the fact that Paramount Plus might be a warmer place in the very near future for creators who are not wrote down the line left-wingers.

It's the fact that there is appetite at some of these other outlets for content that is not just kind of real left-wing trash.

And so I see movement in that arena.

I see movement, obviously, in the media sphere where Daily Wire is active, but we're not the only ones.

I see movement even in the educational sphere, mainly because there I do believe that the entire system is going to crumble from within just because the cost structure is so out of whack with the benefit structure for the universities that it can't continue this way.

And so I'm actually more in some ways I'm more hopeful about the future of a conservative, you know, institutionally based grassroots move than I even am about the continuation of political power.
