tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		You know, these people have been fighting and killing each other since before the time of Christ and in our arrogance and our State Department over there is going to, you know, put a Sesame Street show on or a drag show and think we're going to convert them or something and that's with our billions of dollars and that's their arrogance.
		They have no clue and, you know, they just think they're super intelligent.
		The Bible talks about professing yourself to be wise.
		You became a fool and I think we're very foolish across this great globe.
		It just says, shows us we need to start managing our own business.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		This was today.
		This was issued by the Department of Defense honors fallen heroes on fourth anniversary of Abbey Gate attack.
		This was obviously four years since the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was disastrous.
		I mean, we all remember it well.
		It was a national humiliation.
		So I wanted to bring in Congressman Tim Burchett to discuss this, discuss what's changed since that fateful week in Afghanistan, which was obviously cost 13.
		members of our armed forces.
		I wanted to get into this story.
		So this is obviously four years since the Afghanistan withdrawal.
		You had the DOD honoring the fallen soldiers from the Abbey Gate Memorial.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the— Well, I knew one of the families that was involved, their son Ryan Kanaus, Staff Sergeant Ryan Kanaus.
		They named the highway that my farm and home are on after him.
		I know his mama and daddy very well.
		It was just an unnecessary tragedy.
		I asked this question during the hearing.
		And it all goes back to this.
		The suicide bomber was spotted.
		The Marine sniper in his testimony said they called back and they said no you cannot take him out not once but twice and they identified the guy um you know by his clothing and what he was carrying and all this other stuff you know and that should have been a national story that should have been the story i always say military intelligence is a whole lot like congressional ethics it really just doesn't exist and they um Hence the insider trading that we're doing now.
		But, you know, it just, it was totally unnecessary.
		It was botched.
		We were cut and running, and that's just not what Americans should be doing.
		And it was a pitiful situation.
		It's right at the feet of Biden's administration.
		And the media, of course, in their attempt to cover for him, you know, really didn't cover it like they should have as 13 brave Americans and countless others lost their lives.
		And it was just, and it was 100% avoidable.
		You know, you've got these snipers, this Marine sniper who, he was blown to hell.
		He'd had multiple surgeries since then and all that.
		But it was just, I just can't believe it.
		And then, of course, the media, again, rushed to cover this thing up because they had so much invested in an old man.
		who was mentally not there.
		And so that's what we get.
		And we've moved on to another bright, shiny object.
		And those families are left to mourn the loss of their loved ones.
		I mean, the wives, the father, I mean, the kids of these brave service members.
		It's just totally unnecessary.
		And it just makes me very frustrated about what we allowed to.
		to run our country for so long.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, well, you saw, I mean, really what defines that era was just this general culture of incompetency.
		I mean, above all else, it was just incompetency.
		I mean, you've spoken probably, I mean, obviously you've spoken to a lot of servicemen and servicemen in Afghanistan and then servicemen that were close to the situation.
		I mean, what is their feeling?
		It has to be a lot of anger, I would imagine.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a lot of frustration.
		And what the heck do we go over there for if we were just going to cut and run?
		We didn't put anybody in charge that could have run the thing.
		And we just, you know, I don't know.
		It goes back to our original mission of I think we need to look.
		look in the future at what we are.
		Are we going to are we going to be an occupying force?
		And if not, we ought not be involved in any of these wars because that's all it ends up being.
		And let's just be honest, brother.
		These wars are about oil.
		They're about oil.
		If you dig down deep enough, it's always oil.
		It's energy.
		And, you know, Trump's a threat to the status quo.
		He's we're going to get it all in this country.
		They can eat their sand and their dad going over there.
		We're not going to we're not going to fool with it.
		And and, you know, they just think they're they're super intelligent.
		The Bible talks about professing yourself to be wise.
		You became a fool.
		And I think we're very foolish across this great globe.
		It just says shows us we need to start managing our own business.
		I'm not an isolationist by any stretched imagination but we need to seriously consider our world and this our role in this world and where we're headed as a nation.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I mean, that's kind of the big thing is, you know, a lot of people, specifically in our side, they were saying, well, the problem wasn't.
		necessarily withdrawing from Afghanistan.
		The problem was withdrawing from a position of weakness rather than a position of strength.
		Like we basically gave our cards to them and then withdrew.
		And then you get that result.
		And then, I mean, obviously you saw the cascading effects across the globe where a lot of conflicts kicked back off.
		And I think the general feeling was, well, the Biden admins, A, incompetent, and B, asleep at the wheel.
		And so it kind of just gave them impunity to operate.
		I mean, what difference have you seen in how the world is behaving, broadly speaking, under Biden versus Trump?
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Well, one other thing I want to reiterate, we disarmed our enemies with billions of dollars and assets we left on the ground there.
		But yeah, I think you're not seeing the aggressive nature towards this country because Trump, basically, because he's not going to put up with any crap.
		He's not going to, you know, when he took out, I can't remember the guy's name now, Soleimani.
		I remember, you know, it was leaked pretty quick, some classified pictures of how they identified Soleimani as basically by his ring finger because that was about all that was left.
		He had this ugly big old ring on his finger and there's pictures of him with that ring, you know.
		And so they could identify him through that.
		And Trump did it like you're supposed to do.
		He didn't take him out in a crowded airport.
		He didn't risk the lives of innocent civilians.
		They got him out on some isolated road somewhere.
		And I suspect one of our operatives put a laser pointer on his vehicle and then a missile came in, probably launched Stateside even possibly, and it took that dirt bag out.
		And that's, he didn't ask Pelosi's permission.
		He didn't ask the the United Nations.
		I remember they all pitched a fit back then.
		That was in the first administration.
		They had this big hearing.
		Why weren't we consulted?
		You know, I'll tell you why you weren't consulted.
		Because your dumb ass big ass mouth would have run to the media and exposed it.
		And we wouldn't have gotten that dirt bag.
		That's why you weren't told.
		And it just drives me crazy that, you know, we, we, what goes on in this world.
		But yeah, it's Trump.
		It's it's it's a hundred percent Donald J. Trump is in the White House.
		Look, I don't want him teaching my daughter's Dad Gum Sunday school class now at the Baptist Church.
		But I sure as heck love him at Pennsylvania Avenue, brother, because America is, we're feared once again.
		Our enemies fear us and our friends love us.
		And that's the way it should be.
		And there's very little in between.
		And they're seeing that all over the world.
		You know, they want to gripe and moan about everything going on that we're doing, but we're bringing them to the table.
		And Trump gets it.
		We're going to have a little bit of pain with these tariffs.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		And it's going to cost some people some money.
		But overall, we're going to.
		I think we're going to regain our spot because Trump also realizes that Congress is gutless.
		We're not going to do anything.
		And he has to do it through executive orders, then hopefully we backfill it by passing laws to make it permanent.
		We get the guts to do that, but it remains to be seen if we're going to do that.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Well, I mean, the general theme I've seen from the Trump admin at large, which is just such a breath of fresh air, is just prioritizing Americans.
		I mean, it's such a radical thought.
		But I mean, you see just all these, it's just the little stuff too.
		It's all just slowly moving in the direction of reprioritizing the American people versus what we saw with Biden, even going back further, what we saw with the Obama administration is, you know, where they just, it seems like they're always apologizing on the behalf of the American people.
		And it's not even because we're not apologizing.
		It's just like apologizing for who we are.
		And it's just embarrassing.
		So I mean, I imagine you've probably seen this same theme from the Trump admin.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Absolutely.
		They're not apologizing for anything and they shouldn't.
		We're putting America back where it should be, America first.
		And he's, oh, you, that's so arrogant saying America first.
		Well, that guy, we're Americans.
		Why not?
		Why are we not protecting our border?
		Why are we not going to get our energy here?
		Why are we not looking out for our economic well-being?
		And, you know, why are, why should we be spending.
		Millions of dollars for drag shows in Peru or Sesame Street to some Middle Eastern country that hates our guts.
		You know, our state, our state department should get back into the business of promoting two things, capitalism and democracy, and instead of all this other nonsense, drag shows and what have you.
		It's just to me, it's beyond belief that we've allowed that.
		And frankly, as a conservative, what we've done, we've turned over our colleges and our universities to the radical left.
		There's no question public universities.
		You know, it's, I don't want to say it's a lost cause, but we've let them become so infiltrated.
		Anytime they say something off, off, you know, they get blasted for it, the presidents and all the apologiesists come out and say, Oh, that was just a person, that was their individual viewpoint.
		You know, it's kind of like when I was NPR, you remember NPR's deal where they, you know, we cut their funding.
		Let me tell you how some of that went down.
		Marjorie Taylor Greene put me on that Doge committee and she and I talked pretty regular.
		I was pulling at my daughter's dooley, I was pulling into our farm and I heard on the radio, I had it on NPR, I'm not sure.
		Sometimes I just I think I do opposition research and I was listening.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It's telling.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, or someone's pointing a gun to my head, I'm not surem watching NPR or listening to NPR, excuse me.
		And I'll never forget this.
		They said, they asked one of the hosts, what is your definition of propaganda?
		And they said, Lee Greenwood singing God Bless the USA.
		I almost ran through the fence.
		I was like, what in the world?
		I thought, is it, am I, is someone setting me up?
		Is this a joke?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		And I remember, I called Marjorie right then.
		I said, Marjorie.
		And she said, you said, you're way ahead of me.
		We're going to have a hearing.
		I'm all over, I'm on this like a cheap suit.
		You know, we're going to hit this thing in a couple of weeks.
		And we did.
		And man, Marjorie, she let us unleash.
		And we did.
		And I asked that very question, you know, and I talked about how they, the ugly things the head lady said about President Trump, and she had no answer to that.
		She, you know, they kept saying, well, these are employees.
		And that's what these colleges and universities say.
		But they keep hiring these people, brother.
		And it's the indoctrination that you see, you know, I don't want to know your stupid pronoun.
		I'm tired of that stuff.
		Learn children how to read, write, do arithmetic to get jobs and stop turning them into little socialist monsters that hate everything about this country.
		So yeah.
		Sorry I went to preach and I've had two cups of coffee today.
		So I'm a little wild.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Hey, that's what it's all about.
		No, we love it.
		I mean, with your fellow congressmen and women, I mean, there has to be a bit of frustration because they've been prioritizing foreign interests and other interests and non-American interests for so long to see this reorientation.
		And now there's obviously a large cohort within Congress that is in agreement with the MAGA agenda.
		I mean, what's it like dealing with these cats on a day to day basis?
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Well, a lot of them are voting with their portfolios.
		Let's just be honest.
		That's why they pitch a fit when we talk about blocking stock trades of individuals.
		Yeah, here's what happened when Biden gave Ukraine our missile defense system, which.
		which I didn't vote for.
		I haven't voted for a dime for Ukraine, but that's regardless, regardless of the situation.
		We had to immediately replenish our missile defense system, which we should have.
		It was a multi, multi billion dollar contract, no bid contract, and guess who owned stock in that?
		Members of the committee that had governing jurisdiction of that, both parties, brother.
		I mean, you know, listen, we're not voting for what's right.
		We're voting for our portfolios, and I guarantee you most members of Congress, some of them couldn't even find Ukraine on a dadgum map.
		And you know what?
		I got a 18-year-old daughter and I'm thinking, am I going to send her off to some war that most of these jugheads couldn't find on a map.
		They're all puffed up.
		Oh, we're going to go over there and stomp them.
		You know what?
		It's not our business to stomp anyone.
		We need to be protecting right here in America.
		And I mean, it's not just some toothless redneck talking to you about this.
		This is the reality of what we're doing in Congress and the crooked nature of both parties.
		And please stop calling Washington DC a swamp.
		A swamp is something pretty cool God created.
		It filters water, the cactus takes out the heavy metals and frogs, and it's an a sewer and it is wide open.
		So yeah, we got some real problems and the problems, a lot of it has to do with greed, but a lot of it's public record and I hope America pays attention to what's going on with it.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I mean, you hit on it there is the stock trading thing blows my mind, but this is not like this is still an issue.
		I mean, it seems like a no brainer to me.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you'd think that.
		But here's what happens.
		We'll pass a tough bill in the House and we'll say, yeah, yeah, look what we did.
		And the Senate will pass a tough bill and they won't quite a line.
		And then let me see if I get that right.
		Yeah, they won't quite a line.
		Yeah.
		And so, and everybody.
		will go in the Senate will say, Oh, the House, they're, you know, they're not tough enough in the House.
		I'll say, Those old people over in the Senate.
		And then next, you know, we'll find another bright, shiny object somewhere and we'll chase it.
		And America loses its interest.
		And that's what happens.
		And it's unfortunate.
		But we gotta, we gotta hold their feet to the fire.
		I'd hope in the future we would, we'd pay attention.
		I have a bill to do just that.
		And I hope it.
		I hope in the next few weeks we see some movement on that.
		We need to, you know, these post offices, as I like to say, they're not going to name themselves.
		That's what we do a lot of.
		And we spend in our two hour work days and we, they throw their Brooks brothers.ers' jacket over their shoulder and they're walking around.
		Look how hard we're working for the working people.
		America's not buying that crap anymore.
		We're not working.
		Either party.
		Let's just go out there and do something for the public and let's do what's right occasionally.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
		Or at the very least give us some stock tips, you know?
		I mean, they're doing it.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		You know what?
		If someone I tweeted about one the other day, one of our members had, I think, got three or four, maybe six hundred percent return on their investment.
		And I said, you know, they're just rubbing it in your face.
		And someone said, they need to be arrested.
		I said, for what?
		It's illegal.
		All that's legal.
		That's the thing.
		That's what we got to change.
		You shouldn't be doing individual stock trades.
		It is an honor to be in the United States Congress.
		More people have been, have played professional baseball, brother, than I've ever, than they've ever worn that little congressional pin they give us.
		So yeah, I'm ticked off about it.
		It's just, but it just, and I'm never going to quit being ticked off about it because we are crooked as a dog's leg and America needs to wake up about what's going on.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		I mean, I think there's so many, there's so many many issues that Congress seems to just be comfortable stiff arming.
		I mean, one that strikes me, and it's a big difference, obviously the Trump admins, you know, and full court press about it that the biden administration was totally asleep at the wheel is like ccp influence i mean you're seeing all these different all these different attack vectors from from the ccp and congress is just more preoccupied with you know talking about you know lesotho you know condoms lesotho or whatever yeah can i can i share with you one example of that real quick i have a bill you know these um ancestry dot
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		coms or whatever you send a swab in and you know you're related to the king angle nobody's ever related to a horse thief or anything it's always something glamorous but anyway so so what happens with all that data?
		They go, they end up selling it to China and I have a bill to make that illegal and I can't get any traction over what.
		And here's what the Chinese are doing.
		This was released.
		This was classified a while ago, but apparently it's been released.
		I didn't go to the unclassified briefings on it because that's a trap too.
		You go to a classified briefing, even if you know what they're going to say and you know what they said, you're not allowed to talk about it.
		So I just don't go to them anymore because that's primarily what they do.
		They tell me something I'd already knew or I could catch it on CNN or some Democrats leaked it in about thirty seconds after the meeting.
		So they do this.
		They buy all our genetics.
		And now we find out they're creating a genome, which is basically a genetic history of where we are as a people.
		So they're trying to isolate American women of childbearing ages to give them a virus.
		Now, if they can stop population growth in this country completely, you talk about a chilling effect.
		Yeah.
		That would be an incredible bit of engineering right there, maybe against, pit one group against the other.
		And I could, you could see how quick that could deteriorate.
		And we know that.
		And yet we can't, and you know why we can't pass it?
		Because we're gutless, because you've got staffers that are in bed with these case-dr K Street lobbyists who are being paid by some shadow group that's attached to the Chinese Communist Party?
		That's the problem.
		And we don't have the chairman with the guts.
		They'll say, Oh, I can't pass that because my staff is against it.
		Well, who the hell elected their dad gung staff?
		You know, it's beyond belief.
		I mean, we have committees, literally Republican, limited growth, limited government with fifty staff members.
		And then the Democrats have fifty staff members.
		There's no way on God's Green Earth you can control all that.
		So what you do is you come in there, you're bright eyed, you're idealistic, you know, oh, I've got this great bill to do this.
		And then a staffer says, oh, I don't know.
		I'm not sure if we can do this or not.
		No, really?
unidentified		Why not?
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		And he said, well, you know, we need to get the data on this thing.
		And so you get the data.
		Oh, OK.
		Well, what do we do?
		Well, we keep your name or your bill, but we're going to make it a reporting bill.
		We're going to do the report.
		We're going to do the research.
		And then next year, we'll come back with your bill with all these facts.
		And then obviously by next year, you moved on to something else because of the the the slow paced traction of Washington DC and then you know nothing happens and these are And these reporting bills, brother, did you ever see that last scene in Raiders of the Lost Art where they're in that warehouse?
		Yeah.
		That's where the reporting bills go.
		I've been in Congress and I've never seen a reporting bill reported back to me.
		And I stopped voting for those scenes because they spend two or three million dollars, which is nothing in Washington terms.
		And it pays for some group to do some study or whatever.
		And then the money just goes down some black hole.
		And there you have it.
		And then you get to go home and say, I passed my bill.
		And then your local newspaper, Tim Burchett passed the whatever.
		Anti-communist bill of the decade, you know, and that's the title of the bill or whatever.
		And they give it all these crazy names.
		And it's very frustrating, but it's very, I'm going to write it when I write my book, Compromise, Congress is Compromised or something like that.
		There'll be a chapter on that because that is clearly what's going on.
		And it's sickening, but nobody's got the guts to do anything.
		These chairmen, I call them out in our conference meetings and, you know, I'll have staffers come up to me and say, you're exactly right.
		But then, here's the kicker.
		I'm sitting there on the house floor and somebody comes over that's in leadership or in the line of leadership you know usually a friend will come up to me and say hey burchet man we need to talk yeah i've been sent over here to talk to you man there's some people unhappy i said really about what well about what you just said on on the tim cast or whatever and i'll say oh really and he said uh what about it don't they like and then they'll tell you and i say and then i said last time i said But it's the truth, right?
		He said, Oh, yeah, it's the truth.
		We just don't want you saying it anymore.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Right.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		You know, and so that's what we're up against, brother.
		We have got to start calling this stuff out.
		And every time I hear a chairman say, I can't pass this bill because my staff wouldn't allow it.
		I realize the tail is completely wagging the dog.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		Well, I mean, with what you're saying, specifically with the CCP and the DNA and that sort of thing, I mean, I haven't heard anything about this.
		I mean, you can find out about it, obviously, especially through X, now that especially the free speech is in vogue again, which is very refreshing.
		But the press, it's like they just almost refuse to report on these sorts of things.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		They do.
		And it's because they're in bed too.
		I mean, let's just get it.
		Let's get to be honest.
		They're advertisers and things.
		We need to learn a lesson from the civil rights movement where they use the economic.
		power and the dollar casting the dollar vote.
		We need to go to these people and say, hey, whoever's at, you know, whatever car company or truck company, I saw you all were advertising on this thing.
		You said, I was going to buy a truck from you all, but I'm going to go some, I'm going to get somebody else's truck.
		I mean, that's what you got to literally do, but we don't have the guts.
		We don't have the organization.
		We don't have the follow-through because it's not sexy.
		It's not making anybody a big bunch of money.
		And.
		And frankly, I've always said this, and I'm guilty of this too.
		America wants their pizzas in 30 minutes or less.
		And that's about our dadgum attention span.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's absolutely true.
		Well, I mean, one thing I want to ask you about, I guess this is more broadly.
		the party and the atmosphere in the party is I feel like with the admin what we're seeing is very decisive foot on the gas flooding the zone you hear all these types of terms used but then with the congressional GOP sitting on the hands fear cowardice I would say would be an adjective to describe that why is there such a disconnect between the admin and the and the congressional GOP when it comes to I mean making moves I must be the only guy who doesn't do this,
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		mainly because I've been doing this most of my life and I'm 61.
		I think everybody when they get to Congress, they're looking at a path, a circuitous route to get to be the speaker.
		And that's what and everybody's figuring that out and everybody in leadership realizes their one or two heartbeats of what if this goes down and then I get this and we get this, you know, I could be speaker.
		I must be the only guy in Washington who doesn't want to be speaker.
		I love my wife and daughter too much.
		I don't want to be on the road out begging people for money.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		And, you know, and that's, and that's what these once, I think once valuable jobs have devolved into and you're stuck that way.
		I mean, Mike Johnson has to raise the money and he has to get out on the road every single day away from his family.
		We're, you know, we're one flu season away from not being in the majority, literally one flu season.
		You know, three or four people get the flu, but we're out.
		And so it's just, you know, we've created a monster.
		And to get there, you have to, you have to, to stay there, you have to do a lot of things.
		And I'm afraid, you know, I remembered the former leadership, I was complaining about, and this is one of the reasons I. helped depose the former leadership.
		I was complaining about bills not getting to the floor.
		And they said, well, I don't set the agenda.
		I don't set the bills.
		I don't do this.
		I don't do that.
		I don't set the calendar.
		I remember it was the word they used.
		And I said, Nancy Pelosi decided if you had single ply or two ply toilet paper on the house floor, if you're dadgum running the show, you need to run the dadgum show because Pelosi sure as heck did.
		She ran the table every day.
		But it's just so big and it's so compartmentalized right now.
		It's just very difficult.
		We need a total reorganization of the way we do things.
		without the money though you can't stay in power and that's part of the problem you got to go out and raise the dadgum money yeah and if you don't the dark money fills in the gaps and you don't want that because Because that's what we've had in the past two with our leadership running against Republicans, conservative Republicans, good Republicans, God fearing people running dirt bags against them, using dark money to attack good people.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, yeah, that you summed it up, the dark money.
		I mean, and we're all seeing it.
		I mean, I think us as the base, we see it.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		That's why you're such a threat, dude.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		You're such a threat.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		Because people like, I can't tell you how many people are coming to me and said they heard something on your podcast or something.
		Hey, did you see this?
		And I honestly, I hate to tell you this.
		I just don't have time to watch everybody's podcast.
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		You know?
tate brown ▲ ● ▼		It's like millions now.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Yeah.
tim burchett ▲ ● ▼		I'm trying to build a skateboard empire.
		And, you know, people are asking me, which is another thing.
		This is pretty funny.
		You can do insider stock trading in Congress, but here I am trying to sell some stock.
		I make skateboards.
		It's cheaper than a psychiatrist.
		And I currently got about, I got them in my, in my, in my barn because I can't sell them because legally I have to do all this, jump through all these hoops.
		I've got to get an attorney, you know, to sell skateboards.
		And I made, and I just give them away.
		I'm giving one to Tulsi Gabbard for her birthday, which was a few months ago.
		She outed me at the State of the Union address.
		She said, purchant, she said, my birthday's coming up.
		Where's my dad going skateboard?
		So I had to make her one.
		So there's a video of me riding a skateboard on the Capitol grounds and that's her skateboard.
		But anyway, you know, that just tells you the frustration and just the completely crooked nature of Congress.
		It's designed to keep honest people out and people that are just trying to do you know i'm not trying to set the world on fire selling skateboards it's just for me it's cheaper and a psychiatrist and and that could help me pay for my daughter's school a little bit but anyway i love that i love that no yeah we i mean we have our skateboard brand here at the boonies uh so i know you know all about the skateboard salesman business, but uh, well, I appreciate you coming on to chat.
