Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report. With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-hosts. Daniel, good to see you today. Good morning, Dr. Paul. How are you? Good. I've been looking around for some good news. I did discover something, a surprise, that our organization, you know, the Liberty Report, has had a token amount of influence because they
