But I do think there needs to be standards, and I think that the social media companies have a responsibility on this.

I think local media has to have a responsibility on this, that if you are going to allow things that are just blatantly false –

or blatantly dangerous, that that should be a measure of responsibility on you as the carrier or you as the provider to be able to make sure that that is not allowed on your platform.

Well, I tell you, one thing that we're focusing on here in Maryland, and we're not planning on screwing anything up, is I don't think it's just about the message.

I think it's about the results.

I'm very clear that here in Maryland, and I'm on the ballot in November, the way we plan on winning is we're going to continue showing and reminding people of what's happened since our administration has come on board.

We have now seen how we've been able to give the middle class a tax cut.

And we've asked the very wealthiest Marylanders to pay a little bit more so we can do things like have an education system that is providing outstripped results on reading and mathematics, that we've been able to cut in half the teacher shortage and the teacher vacancy rate, that we've been able to now see how we have a police department that is actually being invested in, where we have amongst the fastest drops in violent crime anywhere in America.

That's not a narrative change.

Those are results.

Well, I think it depends on what we're talking about, right?

Oh, listen, I think that, you know, do we focus on things like reading and writing and, you know, making sure that our students are prepared for the world?

100%.

Do I also think it's important to make sure that all of our...

you know, children see themselves in the future, that people can feel safe in their own neighborhoods and in their own communities?

I do.

Do I think it's important that we're providing proper pathways for people to identify what it is that they want to do with their lives?

I do.

We made Maryland the first state in the country that now has a service year option for all of our high school graduates.
