All right, hello and everyone, welcome to it. It is the Derrick Hunter podcast for the 20th of October, 2023.

It's Friday. That's all that really matters. I'm Derrick Hunter. I am your host,

appreciate you listening, downloading, sharing, telling a friend all that good stuff. Get you going on

your weekend as quickly as possible because you know it's not like the House of Representatives can

do anything. They can't do their damn job. They imagine they're collecting almost $200,000 salary

as I'm comfortable with, but if there's something that I don't like, I simply won't do it.

And if there's a person I won't like, I don't care what damage I do to anything. I will stand on

principle. I will die down. I will be. What was it? Those douchebaggy Dr. Suss things that refused

to move? I can't remember what it was, but they'd stay in there. I will not move. The whole
