And we're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. You got Loopcast late today. It's Tom and Erica. Josh is in the

swamp, right? I believe Josh is in the swamp, but you are back. You are rested, raring to go.

Tanned, hydrated, ready to rock. Yeah, miss you guys. I had a fantastic week. It was very American,

the most little Americana town in Wisconsin. So shout out to everyone

over there. It was awesome. Had a great time with my family. Kids loved the lake in America. So I hope

We're going to talk about the government response as well. The second, so if you weren't paying attention

as well, Trump hit the little gavel, B-22 bombers flow over. The big beautiful bill has been
