They're just there to do a job, and they're forgetting what it takes to actually protect the environment and not stopping the real police, because it's just filling paperwork out. And, I don't know. It's a loss of focus, for sure. So I proposed along the trail here that any time that the federal government asks a social media platform to curtail whatever right, they're going to say don't prevent something, which I argue if you watch the way they did it, with censorship on the wrong end of it, is that that information had to be reported by the company back to the Republican and Democrat of the oversight committee simultaneously. So there is some check in the system, because right now there's no check in the system. I just wonder if there might be a way to do something similar with agriculture. (48:52–49:21)
