It's Jake, Jake, N-Y at Twitter.

You get a lot more stuff there.

Jake Novak, how you doing?

Well, I'm doing okay. I woke up this morning and I didn't see my shadow, which men, then end to winter, and then a bunch of environmental activists beat the heck out of me. So I'm recovering from that, but otherwise I'm okay. You know, they act like climate as the Democrats, like they want to do something about climate. They have a climate, sir.

I thought there was an extended period there where we didn't see that and I was surprised by that.

Now we're hearing it again with some of the stuff in the Biden administration.

So what's going on now is the Israelis continue to go after certain small groups. Now, there was something like, for those of you who are
