another reason. The border was a real good reason because that was just so scary and so big and it it just had so much impact on everything. But what's the thing after that? Unfortunately, it's affordability and the and the Democrats are owning affordability at the moment. So, uh, there's going to have to be some problems that Trump doesn't solve just so the the next Republican candidate has something to talk about, they're running out of things to talk about, right? I mean, if it turns out that, you know, 3 years from now, everybody smart agrees that tariffs were a tremendous idea and they brought in money and it didn't break too many things. Well, then whoever the Republican is will just keep doing it. But it's not like a winning strategy or anything. So you got to find that thing that everybody understands needs to be solved. And unfortunately, I would hate to say that the only thing left to solve would be the debt because I don't know what the hell you do about that. Anyway, maybe it's the tariffs to solve the debt. So, but John Stewart, every I think we're at the phase where everybody's worried about their own team. Uh John Stewart said that Democrats are still a mess uh after the last election and he says, "I truly believe they're a mess." And then he said, I tried to uh capture the essence of this quote. I might have missed a word. He said, "There's an underlying energy in the country that none of us could have imagined and that needs to be channeled." None of us could have imagined. Uh, I'm pretty sure every Republican imagined it. That's why Trump's the president. The Republicans were totally imagining it. They didn't have to imagine it. They felt it. They were in it. They were part of it. But, so I guess he's talking about Democrats had no idea what the country is really like. Now, I love John Stewart as an entertainer and I think he adds a lot even to the political process despite being a entertainer first. But he never is. He looks like a guy who's never had like a regular job, has he? Cuz there's some things he's just sort of missing that feel like you would not be missing if you had a regular job with co-workers and stuff, you know? Maybe maybe being around normal people. The the the people who work in comedy, I think, hang around with people in comedy more than anything else. Anyway, so when he says there's an underlying energy in the country that none of us could imagine needs to be channeled, to me that's just a a word salad way of saying your policies are bad. If the Democrats had better policies, you don't think they would own everything. I think they'd be in charge. They just need better ideas. So every time they think it's not that their candidates are bad and their policies are bad, they're just lost. They're going to have to say, "Our policies are bad. Our candidates are bad. Get a better candidate. Do something."

Anyway, apparently, every state has now applied for the $50 billion or a piece of the $50 billion rural health fund, which was approved in the big beautiful bill. The Hill is writing about this, Nate Weixel. So, I guess
