Yeah, that was. That was interesting. And the, The. There's a lot of pieces to his response about, you know, whether or not, you know, he was. What. I'm. I'm curious with the spurs, who. I understand Pop is no longer front and center with the team, and he's dealing with what I think is fair to say, you know, some health issues. But it. It feels like they were one of the, if not the most alongside the warriors, progressive, outspoken organizations. Certainly when he was at the helm, I. There are. There's a million ways to go about this. And I know, Dan, that I've said. I, you know, I have a heart out. I can. The. Let, let's. Let's. Let's stay 10 minutes here on this, and then I'll. I'll push my heart out. If, if you guys are interested. I. Here is the way I would like to tackle this because everybody, just like everybody saw the video a few weeks ago with Renee Good. Everybody saw the video over the weekend. And that video is as close to an 8020 topic as we can get in America these days. There are no 90 tens, there are no 99 to ones. There are none. 80, 20 is as good as we can do. And that video, I think, is. Is pretty close to an 80, 20. So I think everybody, not everybody, but the majority agree that what happened in that video is horrifying. What is happening alongside it. And some of this is almost humorous. It's so galling. And some of it is just outright horrifying, is the ticking off of what are our constitutional protections one by one on the amendments. So if I may just do a bit of a civics lesson, I guess the First Amendment, which is about, among other things, freedom of the freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom to protest and peaceably assemble. That is in certain quarters of the country right now, not in effect, the press are getting smoke bombed and gassed just like the protesters on the sidewalk. And we have federal agents saying to people, raise your voice and I will erase your voice. So First Amendment, it really not actually in effect in certain quadrants of the country right now. The Second Amendment, which I have had to my entire adult life sit and swallow that the Second Amendment is so sacrosanct that the. We must accept the cost of school shootings because while tragic, there may one day be a day where the federal government comes for us and we must be prepared to resist that. Now, forget what I believe to be some logical fallacies in that, but that has been the gist of the argument. And now we see the federal government saying, well, your. Your Second Amendment rights don't apply if you are annoying us, even if they apply in every other way. So that's the first two. The Third Amendment, kind of the forgotten amendment. That's the no quartering of soldiers. I. I'm not sure if this one's hanging by a thread, but I do know there was a hotel in Minneapolis that was like, we don't want your agents here. And the federal government's like, you can't do that. We're gonna get your license ripped. So that at least is borderline, obviously, Fourth Amendment. No illegal search and seizure. That don't apply at all anymore. Show me your papers. Fifth Amendment. And, and by the way, we don't really need a signed judicial warrant to come into your house. Fifth Amendment. Again, the show me your paper stuff, which is. I don't have to talk to you. Yeah, you do, actually. And then the 6th and 7th are about right to a fair trial. And what we're seeing is, man, you may not get to trial. The trial might be you off the wrong guy in the street. That's one through seven pretty important ones. And it is utterly galling that the mission creep, and maybe it's not creep, has gotten to this point already that we're. That we are 373 days in and we're already to the point to where we're parsing which of the amendments are still like fully strong. The repeal of Prohibition, as strong as it was a year ago. Women's right to vote, as strong as it was a year ago. But those first seven on shakier ground. And that that should be concerning to everybody that claims to love this country.
