0:08.9	Hi, Mickey.
0:10.5	Hey, Bob.
0:11.6	How you doing?
0:12.8	Hey, that's a picture of, oh, that's like Joe Biden with my hair.
0:17.1	No.
0:17.9	My hair?
0:18.0	Do you see my hair?
0:19.1	No.
0:19.8	Not quite.
0:21.3	You have Linda Johnson here. Check this out. Check this out. That's hair. Look at that. Okay. But it's not a mullet. This is a mullet. It's kind of a mullet. I could do a mullet. You think I can't do a mullet? It's just combed back. Oh, he's got an actual mullet, so you do, oh, yeah, well.

1:33.8	Joe, union man. And then meanwhile, at the lower levels of the administration, you know, they're
1:41.4	doing things like there was one, one was in the news
1:44.5	yesterday, requiring that all, every town in America have a plan for, you know, inclusive
1:50.8	housing to bring equity to housing. And that's a, that's a big deal. It's not a new deal thing.
1:55.7	It's a new woke thing. And, you know, and Biden doesn't mention it, okay? The border, big problem.
