Oh, baby, welcome to it. It is the 14th of January, 2024. It is the first day of congressional hearings.

It's like the first day of Christmas. We're all getting a partridge and a pear tree. I'm Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter podcast. Thank you for listening, download and sharing a friend, all that good stuff. Spreading the word on social media. Thank you so much for that. And rate an interview and iTunes and all that stuff.
