Thank you guys so much for being here.

It's a great honor to be here.

What time of the morning?

Okay, it's not that early.

I don't know. Maybe it's just, it feels early because I was out at the cigar party last night.

It's great to be with all of you.

Thank you for making it out.

I am so, so pleased.

I want to give a big thank you, a big shout out to TPSA, the unbelievable team here,

who has just done heroic work in keeping everything going and growing and advancing.

Just as I think we all know know our friend Charlie would have wanted.

Just incredible work from TPUSA, and incredible work from all of you.

Thank you.

I've never done one of these.

You know, Charlie was the king of this,

and now a bunch of Charlie's friends are going to be sitting in all day.

So go easy on me, please. I don't, he was, but we, but, you know, one thing that we all really, really have loved over the years, and I think has really helped our political movement, is that we're willing to have these conversations.

People come up, no notes, no anything, no rules, ask anything you want,

and we'll try to get it the truth, and we'll try to move on forward together. So who's

the first question? Love your hat. I love your hat, but I hate your microphone because I

can't hear you. So my question is, what is your opinions on private Christian schools versus public education?

I'm sorry, I still hate your microphone and I can't quite hear you.
