You know, regular people in government, they don't have that aura of a tech billionaire, you know?

So this being the United States of America, this could get very interesting because one thing we do believe in in this country is states' rights.

And it sort of sounds like this is headed down a path of a state says, we have the right to regulate AI in our backyard.

You can't tell us what to do.

What do you know about forthcoming legal challenges?

What do you know about states saying, Mr. President, no?

I wouldn't be surprised if California filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration saying that what you're doing is blatantly illegal.

Texas, you don't really want to mess with them.

I believe there is very strong support in the state government against the Trump administration on this.

And in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill of rights that listed out what folks

Floridians want and don't want from artificial intelligence.

So there is a broad bipartisan opposition across red, blue states against this executive order.

On the other hand,

For smaller states that want to implement their own AI laws, they could look at this and see Trump and his fellow billionaires threatening to make it hard for their constituents at that very moment.

So they could say, okay, it's not worth having this fight.

Because otherwise our constituents get hurt.

It is interesting that Governor DeSantis is one of the people loudly pushing back because we recall that President Trump was elected for many reasons.

But there was a sense that.

Parents' rights had been overlooked.

There was a sense that, you know, parents were losing control of their children in schools, in hospitals, etc., etc.
