Yeah, I can understand what you're saying. I mean, I totally get your disdain for anything and everything Trump. I mean, there are a lot of people like that. I totally get it. I would like to remind everybody that less than a year ago, over 51% of the population voted for them. So for everything that you don't like about them, there's at least half of this country who likes those things about him. I happen to be one of those people who likes some of the things and doesn't like some of the things. So I would say I wouldn't dictate so much on the fact that it's an auto pen signing it, more than the fact that he pardoned everybody in his family. I mean, come on. That's blatant, 100% hypocrisy if you're going to pardon everybody in your family and in your little circle, but then jump on Trump for doing it to the J-6s. I'm not justifying what Trump did at all. In fact, I think some of those people in J-6 should probably still be in prison today. However, things have changed a little bit considering that we have found out that over 200 FBI agents were in the crowd as undercover, unclothed, and they still couldn't prevent it. I mean, come on. You have the police, you have the federal resources, and you have over 200 FBI agents in the freaking crowd, and they still let it happen. So J-6 isn't all it's cracked up to be. I do put a lot of responsibility on Trump and his people for what happened, but I put a lot of responsibility on the people who was in charge of the Capitol at the time, which happened to be Nancy Pelosi. So it's not a one-sided coin, I can put it that way. Check my time here. And so I would, I'm trying to be pretty tactful. I mean, I really don't want to get into the whole political thing today, but I think it's easy to say that Trump's awful, he's doing this, and everything he touches sucks, but he's doing a lot of good things too. Biden did some good things. Obama did a lot of good things. It doesn't mean that there are great presidents or bad presidents, it is what it is. Trump's no better or no worse than any of the presidents. I think he's just more in your face. You talk about, and I'm trying to respond to most of the things you mentioned, you talked about him using the government to go after his enemies. I mean, that's pretty much what the DA and New York City did. I mean, he said that there's nothing against this FBI guy other than the fact that they have proven on video that he lied to Congress, which is a crime. Real quick break. So yeah, he lied to Congress, which is a crime, but we don't want to use the same type of logic whenever Trump was being persecuted for some trumped up, made up financial crimes that had no victims to begin with, no victims at all. And secondly, every bank that he used said that he paid back his loans in full and that they would do business with him again. So, and I'm not saying I'm on his side or not on his side, I'm just giving the devil's advocate's version of it. So anyhow, Gail, I don't know if you want to come back to that or not. You can. The next person on my list is going to be Rick. So let's pause and give you a chance to come back to that and then we'll move on to Rick.
