I was a little surprised he didn't get a deal. You know, Mark visited the White House two, three times in search of a deal. What kind of deal? What would they get? Well, the FTC has sued to break up Facebook. So, as you know, I talked about this in an article six years ago.

I'm glad you did. That was a good one. The FTC filed... I thought so. The FTC filed suit a year later, and it's taken forever to wind through the courts, but Mark Zuckerberg was on the stand for, not last week, but the week before, virtually every day. And the Trump FTC is, you know, prosecuting the case to separate Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook. That's the agenda. And And who knows?

I know, but I do think something has changed. It's not so much about Trump, but I think in the world of antitrust and anti-monopoly, there's been a big shift. Because the guy who's running the FTC now, I think it's really interesting that he kept some of the merger guidelines from the Lena Kahn time.

They also actually filed suit against, the FTC filed suit against Uber last week for misleading customers. What? Can you believe it? Uber? Uber. Uber.

You said to Sean just a moment ago, they're here illegally. They should go back and get in line to come back in. But wouldn't that create an underground? And you can't just deport 11 million people. That's just not a workable policy, is it? Yeah, well, I think it is workable.
