I look at it this way, Eric, and that is that social media is here to stay. It's why we built Truth Social, because many of us were banned or shadow banned, including the President of the United States, from all the social media platforms. So we had to build our own. So the governor, you know, can blame social media. I mean, it's his right to free speech also. But the fact of the matter is, is that, that it's the, it's the mode of communication today, so you just have to accept it and, and move on. And Charlie Kirk was obviously a big supporter of not only free speech, but he was one of the original, you know, main folks to get onto Rumble, which, you know, I was also along with Dan Bongino and others. And then of course, when we started Truth Social, so look where. There is some area that you can, that you can work on, but it's quite, it's a constant struggle and that is to have accounts that are, that are on your social media platform that are actually verified and you know who they are. We work really hard at it. I like to, I think that, that our team keeps one of the cleanest platforms that's out there. But, you know, even our platform, you know, we constantly are getting attacked by bots, cyber attacks, et cetera, et cetera. And so, you know, we try to do our. Our best. We have a lot of users that then report these types of. Of kind of fake or phony accounts. So there's that. So I think the governor, where the governor should focus is just to make sure. That the people that are on social media that, for the most part, are actually real and not just bot farms that are actually putting out a consistent message that may just be one dude in his underwear sitting in the Philippines in his mom's basement, putting up, you know, negative beliefs based on maybe something that he's being paid for by a nonprofit or a political operative in the United States or in a foreign country, et cetera, et cetera. So there's. So I look at it this way. One, social media is here to stay. So at Truth Social, we try to keep it as clean as possible and make sure that people are actually real people and we keep the bots off. But secondly, you know, we don't allow for illegal activity on our platform. And, you know, and it happens, you know, quite, you know, quite often you get threats. You get things of that nature. And you can imagine being the platform that President Trump primarily posts on. We get a lot of people that, that, you know, want to say bad things to the president. Now, it's okay if you want to say something, if you, if it's. It's your right to free speech, if you want to say something that you disagree with the president on. However, if you start to make death threats against anyone on the platform, that's when we take it to another level and we, we notify the proper authorities. So there, there's probably some area to work on in there, but I just think you have to take it as it is, as the accept the world is the way that it is, not the way you want it to be, and that is that social media is here to stay. Now I can go. I don't think the problem has to do with social media as much as I think it has to do with the funnel that's poisoning our kids from the far left in this country and around the globe that happens to have now manifested itself as the Democratic Party. They are a death cult. Now, this has been going on for a very long time. I mean, I can go into my dealings with the extreme left over the better part of a decade that, as you know, Eric, you know, as being at the beginning of the Russia hoax and calling the hoax a hoax, as you will recall, I had many people, many death threats that, by the way, just never ends. I mean, it's, you know, we're. Now that I run Trump Media, we're obviously a target. And, you know, you just have to be assured that if you come after Trump media, true social, you will be met with lethal force. Like, we don't mess around. We, we work with the local sheriffs, the local, the local prosecutors and anybody that messes with us or our team, you know, we will take action, you know, quickly, but it's something that you always have to be on, on the lookout for, Eric. And unfortunately, in, in Charlie's, you know, situation, it's just, I mean, you know, obviously I knew him well. My daughters had just volunteered at an event that he had in California just a week before he was assassinated. And I think now what you, what, what many people on the right are going to have to be, you don't have to be concerned about it on the left, but because there is no evidence of people on the, on the right committing violence against people on the left, all the violence is coming from, especially the, the deaths are coming from the people on the left doing it against people that are conservatives. And I think outdoor venues especially, you're going to have to be very, very careful around, unfortunately, it's not a country that I want to live in like that, but it is the reality and I think that people in the political realms are going to have to be careful from this point moving forward until you can actually get the poison out of people's minds and radically transform the education system and also the justice system. Where, as you know, we almost have two tiers of justice in this country now, where in Utah you're going to see, you saw rapid action, everybody on the same team. Likely this person is going to be prosecuted, the criminal, the killer will be prosecuted swiftly and face, you know, justice there in Utah. However, I don't know that you would get the same type of justice if you were in a court in D.C. a court in New York City, a court in San Francisco, you know, you name all the Democratic run cities, so, so there's a lot that has to be fixed in this country. But anyway, I know that's a long answer to your question about social media, but I tried to encounter, I think.
