You know, I used to have Republican local officials attack me because they were. They were trying to do the mass stuff. And I said, no, I. I did a pardon for every local ordinance, Covid ordinance that anyone violated, you know, during those first few months. because I just thought it exceeded their authority. Now they will all say that they did that, but there were only a handful. I mean, J. Bhattacharya and Stanford was one. (22:13–22:21)
