Oh, we found Steve Moore. Oh, I lose my bet. Oh, my God. Anyway, Steve Moore, we always bet on whether we're going to find you not. But great to have you with us.

Hey, by the way, he runs the best website, and you should sign up for the daily email blast.

It's the best bunch of stories and the finest analysis. It's unleashedprosperity.com, right? Yes, Mark, great to be with you. Thank you for having me. All right.

rates. You've got to cut government spending and spending in debt.
