The story is out of control. It's 7 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: weirder and weirder by the second.

And 9 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: this is what is put out by Cash Pattel, the 10 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: FBI Director. 11 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Over the last eight days, the. 12 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: FBI and Peba County Sheriff's Department have been working closely 13 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: with our private sector partners to continue to recover any 14 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie's home that may 15 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible to do a variety 16 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: due to a variety of factors, including the removal of 17 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located 18 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: in back end systems. Nancy Guthrie is the mother of 19 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie. Savannah Guthrie is the host of The Today 20 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: Show and Nancy Guthrie eighty four years old living in Arizona, 21 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: went missing, and there is a belief that she was 22 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: taken kidnapped, that there is a hostage situation, that there 23 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: is a ransom, and there have been a series of 24 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: deadlines that have been set and have passed, and according 25 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: to the reporting, there was it no notification from or 26 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: no connection to the alleged kidnappers, no response from them. 27 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: It's all very odd. And I will say to you 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: that this situation is very. 29 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: Odd, and I am one of the people who who's 30 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: asking is this just incompetence that we're seeing. 31 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: In the investigation? Is some of it purposeful? 32 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: Now that's the part that I think that throws people 33 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: that very often in these situations, what looks disjointed and 34 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: what looks confusing is purposeful because the objective is to 35 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: engage here while you're searching there, to find a mistake, 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: or to engage someone so you can actually get to 37 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: a level of rescue. Right, it doesn't play as I 38 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: guess we would describe it as linear, and not being 39 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: any expert on hostage negotiations or tactics at all, I 40 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: don't have anything. 41 00:02:58,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: Else I can offer here. 42 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: What I've said from the beginning is This is a 43 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: very ugly situation because if this can now be a thing, 44 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: you're not. You didn't go after Savannah Guthrie. You went 45 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: after Mom to get to Savannah Guthrie so you can 46 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 2: get her money, so you can get NBC's money. Were 47 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 2: what it was the what was the thing happening here? 48 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: And then you've got one hundred other things that you 49 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: can ask like, this is so weird. I wonder if 50 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: this is even legit, which is a legitimate thing to say. 51 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: I don't know yet, I have no clue as to 52 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: what we're looking at here. Cash Hotel continues, And part 53 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: of this was because it was it was known that 54 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: the ring camera system that Mom had, Nancy Guthrie had 55 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: was kind of ripped off the walls missing. 56 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: Someone took the camera. 57 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: But of course there's footage that already exists on the camera. 58 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: Working with our partners, writes Cash Betel FBI director. 59 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: As of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously 60 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have 61 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: tampered with the camera at Nancy got through his front 62 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: door during the morning of the disappearance, and anyone with 63 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 2: information tips dot FBI dot gov or one eight hundred 64 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: call FBI. So now this is the imagery. There is 65 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: a guy. Is that is that a gun in his 66 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: left hand? So he's pants, sneakers, a zip up sweater. 67 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: I guess we'll call it. It's not a jacket. It 68 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: looks more like it would be fleece, like a sche mask. 69 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: You could see the eyes. 70 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: I'm assuming the dude is white based on the eyes, 71 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: black gloves, a backpack, and I guess in the left 72 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: hand that's a firearm. But it's not like they're holding 73 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: the gun. It's like they're holding a holster and the 74 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: gun is in the holster. It's kind of pointed down. 75 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: That's the way it looks to me. So that's one 76 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: of the photos which brings us to a shot of 77 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, is that a man or a woman? Now 78 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: saying it's a shot directly almost like head. 79 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: On, and I can't one hundred p cent tell if 80 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: that's a man or that's a woman. And are those 81 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: flowers in the left hand right in front of the 82 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: camera weird? 83 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: Then there is another shot where the gun is still 84 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: kind of it's on the person like directly in front 85 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: like beltline, and then yeah, right, and then and then 86 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: being held on with the left hand and then the 87 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: right hand is kind in front. 88 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: Of the camera. 89 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: And by the way, you know we're live streaming and 90 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: the chat rooms, like, it does look like a woman, right, 91 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: the eyes and the lashes. 92 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: Didn't it. 93 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: I wasn't making that up like it does because the 94 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: arithma the first image like, it looks like a guy. 95 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: Then that second image you're like, wait a second. The 96 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: third image the same thing looks like a woman. Then 97 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: you get to the fourth image, which has more of 98 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: a close up of the face, and this is a 99 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: knit scheme mask. Now I think you could see a 100 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: little bit of the hole of the mouth there and 101 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: that looks like that could be a mustache. So I 102 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: could you know, you can't tell. I'm just telling you 103 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: that just it looked a little bit odd. So these 104 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 2: are the images that are now out and people are 105 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: going to examine these things every which way. 106 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: But loose. 107 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: By the way, it wasn't a ring camera. It seems 108 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: to be a Nest camera because it says Nest on 109 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: the on the on the imagery an e s t 110 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: right that company. I don't I don't know, I don't 111 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: know what to say here. The whole thing is just 112 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: so peculiar. But there is no part of this with 113 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: family being targeted. This is concerning, So it's true. We 114 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: wouldn't be paying as much attention to the story if 115 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: it wasn't somebody who was on national television daily. I 116 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: think part of the reason we're paying attention to it 117 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: is that that's what happened to and it does make 118 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: it even more of a story because was that part 119 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: of the targeting. 120 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: There's a concern there, a legitimate concern. 121 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: So that's the latest on Nancy Guthrie, whom I hope 122 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 2: they find safe and healthy. 123 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: We've got a brief in coming up. I will bring 124 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: it to you when it begins. Keep it here. I'm 125 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, and this is Tony Katz today. 126 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: Why House briefing is set to begin any moment, and 127 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: one of the stories should be. 128 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: About this housing legislation. 129 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: I know that it's going to be about Department of 130 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: Homeland Security and funding and the Democrats they have sent 131 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: to a ten point plan or the ten points. You 132 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: have to meet these ten points or we will not 133 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: fund the Department of Homeland Security. 134 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: It's cute that they think they're in charge. It's adorable. 135 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: John Thune wants to say, well, we can't really dismantle 136 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: a filibuster in time for some of these votes. 137 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: Well, what can you do? What can you do, John Thune? 138 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: You could at the very least state very clearly that 139 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: if there is a shutdown, Chuck Schumer is ensuring that 140 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: all groups of people aren't paid, even though you already 141 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: have funding that's taking place through the big beautiful bill. 142 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: Schumer doesn't give a damn about the law. He only 143 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: cares about power. You know, he's a disgusting guy. 144 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: And then John Thune should, in public view, walk up 145 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: to Schumer anywhere he is and excoriate him and engage 146 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: the full on verbal fight right there until Schumer quite 147 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 3: literally walks away with whatever he. 148 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: Has tucked between his legs. 149 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: Stop being abused by these people, these radicals who support 150 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: the paid funded militias against immigrations and customs enforcement, against 151 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: law enforcement, and against the American people. Dear Lord, take 152 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: these democrats to task, nose to nose. Don't you shy 153 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: away from these chumps, not for a second. But that's 154 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: going to be a huge part of this. But you know, 155 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: there was agreement on a housing bill the House passed 156 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: this bipartisan housing bill by a vote of three hundred 157 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: and ninety to nine. Three hundred and ninety members of Congress. 158 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 2: That is insane to believe in this Congress they got 159 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: together to agree with this because they're focused on what 160 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: housing affordability? Oh do I not like the term housing affordability? First, 161 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm cool with everybody jumping on 162 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: and agreeing that affordability is now what we refer to 163 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: everything as. But when we take a look at as 164 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: described you take a look at President Trump last month 165 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: executive orders to make it harder for large investment firms 166 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 2: to buy single family homes, and we had a disagreement 167 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: about this. I accept that if we have these companies 168 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: buying homes everywhere, then it makes home ownership tougher. And 169 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: that is an issue. I hear you, and I do 170 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: question what is the plan? How do you prevent this 171 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: from happening? And I haven't come to a conclusion yet, 172 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: because if somebody is making me an offer on my home. 173 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: If someone is making me an offer, why aren't I, 174 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: as the owner of that property, of that asset, why 175 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: aren't I allowed to sell it? 176 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: Now I can counter my own argument, Tony. 177 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: What if the person trying to buy it was the 178 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: member of the Communist Chinese Party, Well, then I would argue, 179 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: for national security reasons, you can't sell it to them. 180 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: I absolutely would argue that ten percent. Is it the 181 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: same when you sell your home to Blackrock. I'm using 182 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: my argument, and now I'm fighting my own argument. So please, 183 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: I understand that I hear you. I am just I 184 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: am asking I start with this basic question. It's like 185 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: when these areas that want to say that you can't 186 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: rent your house. We only allow in our city, in 187 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: our town, ten percent of homes to be rented. It's 188 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: my house. Why can't I rent it? It's my home? 189 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: Why can't I airbnb it? Which brings out a conversation 190 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: about Hoa's homeowners associations. But if you buy it an 191 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: HOA with HOA rules, you already know what you're buying in. 192 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: You don't have to buy there. Now, one could argue 193 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: that Hoa's are still criminally insane. In many cases, a 194 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: lot of these HOA people are total freaks. 195 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: I'll agree with you. 196 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: But still you can you can say that you bought 197 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: in the HOA and you knew what was happening. It's 198 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: different than any level of federal legislation that may come 199 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: down the line. So what is it that we're seeing here? 200 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: Are we seeing the federal government trying to dictate what 201 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: can be sold, to whom it can be sold and when, 202 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 2: or as is described, they're trying to incentivize construction of 203 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: multifamily homes, therefore maybe less expensive homes, taller buildings on 204 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 2: smaller lots so you can add more homes, less restrictive 205 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: permitting process in state and local jurisdictions. 206 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: All, well, if we're gonna talk about getting rid of regulations. 207 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: I'm all in. I'm absolutely all in. And somebody had 208 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: asked me about the Summay Morning Show. I'm not saying 209 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: you're gonna get rid of building codes. One could argue 210 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: that what building codes do is ensure that the house 211 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: doesn't fall down and therefore lead to more danger and 212 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: more cost for the municipality in question. Right, we're not 213 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: better off if if you're not using nails, you decided 214 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: you're just get you some spit and chewing gum and 215 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: put it together. It's like when Boeing builds a plane 216 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 2: and they use dish soap instead of the proper lubrication 217 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 2: to put in a door. 218 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want that. We can accept that there 219 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: can be certain levels of rules and regulations, But when 220 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: you tell me that you're going to incentivize the construction 221 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: of multi family homes, that you would create have pattern 222 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: books of pre approved housing designs compliant with local building codes. 223 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: So now we're not we're going to claim that we're. 224 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: Helping to get more houses built by creating regulation that 225 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: says you can build this house if you build exactly this. 226 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 2: And so now now all of a sudden, it's little 227 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of tiki taki, 228 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: and they all look just the same. That's we saw 229 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: what regulation did via cafe standards with vehicles. With cars, right, Oh, 230 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: it's got to have this many miles per gallon, it's 231 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: got to have this safety feature, and it's got to 232 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: have this stupid thing that reminds you about your kids 233 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: in the back seat. Can you remind yourself of the 234 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: kid in the back seat? I don't need the freaking message, 235 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: thank you? And what happened? All those mid sized SUVs 236 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: look exactly the same, so boring all of them, holy 237 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: and totally predictable. 238 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: They all look the same, and. 239 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: For the record, like crap because they have no soul, 240 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: they have no uniqueness. And dear Lord, can we stop 241 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 2: being such a monochromatic society. Can we have some cars 242 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: that have a little bit of color, a little bit 243 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: of flavor, a little bit of zing, a little bit 244 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: of something little haha shah. Build cars for the individual, 245 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: Build cool crap. Stop building the same nonsense. That's that's 246 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: the problem. We're from the government. We're here to help. Oh, 247 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: good lord, right, that's what Reagan said, were the nine 248 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: most dangerous words. 249 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Is 250 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: that nine? Let's just call it nine or is it eleven? 251 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Count the words and then tell me 252 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: this is where I have an issue. If you tell 253 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: me you want to build more multi family homes. 254 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: I think we have a massive problem with apartments in 255 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: many cities across the country. And I'm not discussing a 256 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: New York or a metropolis like that. I'm talking about smaller, 257 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: smaller cities. Apartments are not the way to grow. And 258 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: you also have to accept the fact that I'm a 259 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: believer in growth, that maybe there's a moment of okay, 260 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: this part of our growth is done. Now we have 261 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: to get into a management conversation. How do we manage 262 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: these the homes that we have and the condos that 263 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: we have in the apartments we have so we can 264 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: get people still coming in at a viable price to 265 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: be able to see growth in other places in our city. 266 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: And when the houses aren't viable, you go to another 267 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: city because the housing is less expensive. Do you remember 268 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 2: this argument that was ma I think it was Shapiro. 269 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: I think it was Ben who said that, you know, 270 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: people can move somewhere else. New York is too expensive. 271 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: And there were people on the right who got angry 272 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: and they were like, how dare you? 273 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: What do you mean? How dare you? How the hell 274 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: do you think migration works? 275 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: It was too costly here, so we live over there. 276 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: It was too costly in California, so I moved to Arizona. 277 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: It was too costly in New York, so I moved 278 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: to New Jersey. It was too costly in Chicago, so 279 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: I moved to Indianapolis. It was too costly here, so 280 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 2: I went over there. That is standard. It was too 281 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: cold here, so I moved down there. It was too 282 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: dry here. I moved over there. It was two more 283 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: human over here, So I went over that place. This 284 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 2: is normal stuff, normal stuff that normal people do. So 285 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: I look at this legislation and I take a look 286 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 2: at the government's helping and I say, I don't. 287 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: Nay, that's basically it. And then I get gased. It 288 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: becomes a whole thing. 289 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: Serious, serious, serious, gosh, you're a testinal issue. 290 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like it because my 291 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: immediate reaction is good, Lord, I do not want government 292 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: involved in this. Now. 293 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: It is true that people do not build homes for 294 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 2: that first time home buyer anymore because there's more money 295 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: to be made by building the larger home, and that 296 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: is a problem. 297 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: And it's also true that if you remove. 298 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: Regulation, you could create more opportunities to build those starter homes. 299 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: But it should not be regulation where the government says, here, 300 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 2: you can build this, and it's fine. 301 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: That is every town looking like Levittown. 302 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: Nah, I'm I am not interested. 303 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: So those are my concerns. But three hundred and ninety 304 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: votes to nine votes. 305 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: Something tells me that's gonna end up on the President's desk. 306 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: Keep it here, Tony Kats Today find everything at Tony 307 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: kats dot com waiting on Caroline Levin the White House 308 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: Press free thing.

There was a story 314 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: I had it on the show sheet about whether or 315 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: not the commercials this year were really focused on gen 316 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: z and women, and I'm. 317 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: Like, I don't, I don't know if I if I 318 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: found that. 319 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: But we were going through the commercials and producier Land 320 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: and I were talking about the Guy Fiertti commercial, which 321 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: I forget was for Bosh, right, yeah it was for Bosh. Yeah, 322 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: the brand Bosh. I thought that was pretty good. Clues 323 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: Guy Fierti looking like a normal person. I thought the 324 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: Duncan commercial was ridiculous with Jason Alexander and Ted Danson 325 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: and Tom Brady and how they did that. I was 326 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: at AI, what did they do? And Ben Affleck I 327 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: thought that was a fun commercial. The commercial starring former 328 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: coach Bruce arians and Ron Gronkowski and Anthony Gonzalez, Tony 329 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: Gonzalez the tight Ends, and I think it was about 330 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: kind of year, was about Kenning the prostate check or 331 00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: something like that. 332 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: It was. I thought that was a very good commercial. 333 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: I thought LEAs Potato Chips did an excellent job going 334 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: the GM Chevy tug at your heartstrings, angle about the farm, 335 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: going from the father. 336 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: To the daughter. 337 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: I thought that was a good commercial.

All of a sudden, there's a scout that's 352 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 2: running through the woods to give the British position, and 353 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 2: all of a sudden comes this Dodge Challenger screaming, driving 354 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 2: directly at the British and the American flag in the 355 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: you know, stuck to the back, and the British are 356 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: falling all over themselves, and inside the car it's George 357 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: Washington driving and the tagline is America got a few 358 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 2: things right, cars and freedom. 359 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Oh that ad. 360 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: Still, I have given whole speeches before based. 361 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: On that ad. 362 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: I a whole I love that commercial.

Let's just spend 372 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 2: our money and hope that we get some clicks. The 373 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: Mister Beats commercial was more interesting than most of the commercials. 374 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: That was the take. Really not much to take from 375 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: these ads. 376 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 2: Now for a one o'clock press conference, man have they 377 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 2: screwed up timing fierce forty minutes past the hour, but 378 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 2: they're gonna get started.

At all, thank you. 418 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 2: I don't want the stupid thing that you have to 419 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 2: press so the car doesn't stop when you're at a 420 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: red light. 421 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Well, it's saving gats. Leave me alone. I don't want any. 422 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: Of that nonsense, and I want those things gone and 423 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 2: out of the car. These things are supposed to help 424 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: us make our lives better safety. No, it's just increased 425 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 2: costs and increased nonsense. And we did certainly the same 426 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: thing with EPA regulations. So rational rollbacks I am all in. 427 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 4: Favor of, which every single Democrat in Congress voted against AMAC, 428 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 4: which represents millions of Americans, heard directly from more than 429 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: their thousand members already about how the Trump tax cuts. 430 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: Are easing cost of living concerns. 431 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 4: I wanted to share a few of those powerful responses 432 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 4: with you today. This one comes from Dean and Wendy 433 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 4: in Wisconsin, who says, quote, instead of paying out thirty 434 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: seven hundred dollars last year, we got back twenty five 435 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 4: hundred dollars in refunds this year. This is huge for 436 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 4: our family. Steve from California said quote, the new senior 437 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 4: citizen deduction is a tremendous relief and has given us 438 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 4: peace of mind and the freedom to truly enjoy the 439 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 4: retirement years we worked so hard for. 440 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: So this is all part of something that we discussed. 441 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: You can't say that the one big beautiful bill, it's 442 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: say it solves everything. What you must do is show 443 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: how it is helping, the specifics of how it is helping. 444 00:27:58,640 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 1: That's what is. 445 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: You have to be able to say, we passed this, 446 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: and here's where you'll see it. We passed this, and 447 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 2: here's how you're seeing it. We made this move and 448 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: here is the result. 449 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: You gotta show them. 450 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 2: That is what has to take place. That's the story. 451 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 2: It's incredibly important that they do this, and they've gotten 452 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: much better at it. 453 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: And I want to be as. 454 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: Clear as day this screaming that you know, the right 455 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: can't win the midterms, it's all lost, not in the slightest, 456 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: not in the slight that is as wrong as wrong 457 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: can be difficult. 458 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: I agree, lost, get bent. There is so much time. 459 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 1: What they want to do is set narrative. Now. 460 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I'm not about to 461 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: let them do that. I wouldn't ever dream of letting 462 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: them do that. And then there's the conversations Caroline levit's 463 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: having it right now, the White House Press secretary about Trump. 464 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: Accounts per year per employee. President Trump believes there is 465 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: no better investment than investing in our nation's children. If 466 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 4: you are a parent who maximizes contributions to your child's 467 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 4: Trump account, its projected value could reach nearly one point 468 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 4: one million dollars by the time your child turns twenty 469 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 4: eight years old. Based on average historical stock market returns, 470 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 4: safe to say the Trump accounts will give a substantial 471 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 4: headstart to position the next generation for a brighter future. 472 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 4: And with the stock market exploding under President Trump's pro 473 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 4: growth policies, there has never been a better UND fifty 474 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 4: thousand for the first time ever on Friday, and the 475 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 4: S and P five hundred and the Nasdaq continues smashing 476 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 4: record after record.

Democrats have 487 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 5: been circulating the statistic that only fourteen percent of illegal 488 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 5: aliens arrested under this administration or violent criminals. But we 489 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 5: know that in deep blue cities with progressive district attorneys, 490 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 5: it's common to fleed down serious violent crimes into less 491 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 5: serious offenses, which could be destroying those numbers. So given 492 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 5: that backdrop, does the administration still stand by the messaging 493 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 5: that you're targeting the worst of the worst, and does 494 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 5: this prevailing narrative tell the whole story? 495 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 4: Well, thank you for bringing this up, Caroline. I've seen 496 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: this CBS report floating around. There's a lot of liberal 497 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 4: talking heads and pundits and Democrat elected politicians who think 498 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 4: that this single story, in these statistics, in the way 499 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 4: they are painted, is somehow a shot at this administration. 500 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 4: It is non And let me correct the record. Number one, 501 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 4: the Trump administration has been clear from day one that 502 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 4: any illegal alien present in this country is subject to deportation. However, 503 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 4: the priority, of course, is going after the convicted criminals, 504 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: the worst of the worst, the murderers, the pedophiles, the 505 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 4: rapists in this country. Interestingly, in the CBS story, what 506 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: the Democrat talking heads on television are not saying is 507 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 4: this line. Nearly sixty percent of ICE arrestees over the 508 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 4: past year had criminal charges or convictions, and among that population, 509 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 4: the majority of the criminal charges or convictions are. 510 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: For nonviolent crimes. 511 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 4: Oh well, what are nonviolent crimes? 512 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: You ask? 513 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: This has coincided with which DHS has been saying all 514 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 4: along that approximately seventy percent of illegal aliens arrested under 515 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 4: President Trump have pen criminal charges and or prior convictions. 516 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 4: And these so called nonviolent crimes drug trafficking, distribution of 517 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 4: child porn, burglary, fraud, dui embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, 518 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 4: and human smuggling, just to name a few. 519 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: So incredibly important. We talked about this yesterday. There was 520 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: this pie chart that the left was trying to push 521 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 2: out there that said only sixty percent of those arrested 522 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: by ICE had any kind of criminal record. Wait, what 523 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: is your argument? Forty percent didn't, so therefore ICE is wrong. 524 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 2: That was Benjamin Winngarden wrote, sixty percent, is that supposed 525 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 2: to be some kind of gotcha? Well, then they decided 526 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: to change it around and say, well, only fourteen percent 527 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 2: had violent crimes. 528 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: What the hell does that matter? 529 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: They were changing and moving the goalpost, changing the focus 530 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 2: of the conversation to take away from the fact that 531 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: these people at sixty percent were engaged in level of criminality. 532 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: And you just heard from Caroline Levitt there engaging the 533 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 2: discussions of the criminality. 534 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: The left cannot accept the fact. 535 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: That bad people have been removed from the streets and 536 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: people who break the law coming into the country illegally 537 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: should not be allowed to stay. 538 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: Not interested in whether or not people like it or not. 539 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: That's it. This is what America voting for. 540 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: This is exactly what should happen, and in doing so, 541 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: maybe with better tactics, that is a way to win 542 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: the midterms. 543 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: Ten percent more. 544 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: To get to, including my conversation with congress Woman Aaron Houtchin. 545 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: Keep it here.
