Yeah, okay. It's still going on, but we got the |
| 0:37.5 | gist of it. Basic background. It's just like a big Tuesday between us. Just a couple of buddies. |
| 0:44.2 | You know, we like to wake up on Tuesday morning, get some coffee, you know, watch Cash Patel do his |
| 0:50.5 | BDI testimony in front of the Senate and just chit chat about it, you know, |
