I. Okay. My perspective in Washington D.C. is quite unique. I passed pretty much single handedly right to try and that is saving people's lives. Even with COVID There's a drug for end stage Covid called Avitadil. It saved dozens of people's lives. Now the FDA is not. They're ignoring it because it's not a patentable drug. So they're not gonna recommend it, but it's saving people's lives. I mean, that makes me feel pretty proud. (26:07–26:13)
