We're now coming up next week.
It'll be one year since he made the promise that he would never do that.
So it's a disaster.
But Joe tells us, oh no, every this one perfectly couldn't have gone any better.
We still have even Tony Blinken admits American citizens that don't want to be there.
They are stuck behind enemy lines.
Never mind the thousands of green card holders eligible to live in the US legally, but they're stuck there.
Um I gotta give credit.
I think two of the most powerful videos I've ever seen in my life uh have been done by Five for Fightings John Androsic.
He's a friend of the program.
He recently went to Ukraine and put together, I think the most powerful video I've seen in a long time.
Uh uh he had a a full Ukrainian orchestra as he sings his song What can one man save the world right there from the battleground of an airport that had pretty much been bombed to smithereens?
soon Who is this comedian is audience Mamas and Men?
This is the man in Ukrainian I don't know.
Great grandson of the Holocaust, an East and Hot, the West has lost.
May all carry up this cross.
I don't know.
But he's got everyone think.
Yeah, he's got our name.
Can one man save the world in the mountain?
Will they say your name?
Is it only save the world?
Will you save the stand.
Can one man save the world?
John Androsik joins us now.
I've I'm not, you know, we've been friends a long time.
As powerful as your first video was, this one was even way more powerful.
Well, thank you, Sean.
Thank you for having me.
It was uh surreal experience.
Uh when I went to Ukraine with Save Our Allies, uh, who I met actually doing work in Afghanistan.
We had no idea we'd be able to film the video in front of the Maria, the symbol of Ukrainian independence.
The biggest cargo plane in the world that Putin destroyed in the early days of the war to try to gut punch Ukraine and to have this orchestra playing in that setting in that bombed-out airport with Russian tanks blown up and frankly human remains still around.
I think really showed symbolically the fortitude of the Ukrainian people through this orchestra, and and hopefully remind people of exactly what you're talking about.
The plights of these people that the war is dragging on, that we're writing checks, but there's no oversight.
and I fear, Sean, if if we allow Putin to devour Ukraine, then it's gonna be our soldiers, our sons and daughters fighting this war in Europe uh in a couple years.
So the consequences are historic.
We cannot allow this to happen.
Um our country seems to be standing on the sidelines, and just like Afghanistan, it's a it's a disgrace.
It's a disgrace.
Uh I just want you to describe the situation though, because I mean, as it's very hard.
I mean, people have to watch the video.
We'll put it up on Hannity.com.
I want people to know too, um, that if if you download the song and you go I'm sure most of you now want to, uh, but he he this is his Ukrainian tribute song, Can One Man Save the World with the Ukrainian orchestra um at this blown air blown out airport in front of Ukrainians and this the world's largest cargo plane that Russia destroyed.
And I I just want you to know that that money goes to the Save Our Allies group, and these are people that are donating their time risking their lives trying to save people and and helping the Ukrainians out.
Save our allies, actually you know them well, Sean.
They saved the Fox News reporter Benjamin Hall's life.
I literally met the guy, I saw the ambulance he was in.
They were doing incredible work in Afghanistan, still are, rescued twelve thousand allies in ten days, and now are leading the humanitarian operations in Ukraine.
Uh their relationship with President Zelensky allowed us to go to Ukraine and film this video.
And this is just step one, Sean.
Uh you talked about the fact that we have an economic policy, a political policy that's not working.
We need a culture front on this war.
We need a live aid type concert.
Every big artist, every superstar spring scene you too doing a global concert for Ukraine this fall to put the spotlight back on Ukraine and remind the Russian people that they are the ones who are pariahs.
Music can make a difference, Sean.
You know it.
It can break borders.
So we need to do our part as artists, and that's what I'm calling for right now.
So I'm gonna tell you behind the scenes that I've had many conservatives say, Hannity, you gotta stop.
We can't afford another quagmire 20 year conflict that's never that's always ongoing, and we only give them enough munitions to survive, but we never give them the munitions to win.
Now, I'm gonna be honest, Sean, I want Zelensky to win the war.
But if we only provide them enough weaponry to just hang in there and we don't give them the weaponry to win, you know, the arguments that conservative friends of mine are making, and by the way, they were gung ho beating Putin.
They wanted Putin destroyed, and they wanted him pushed out of Ukraine, and they even wanted him pushed out of Crimea.
And they also realize, as I do, that his territorial ambitions may go way beyond Ukraine.
It may go to Poland.
God only knows where else in Europe he wants to go to.
Wouldn't be the first time that we have seen that, would it?
So I'm torn because I see these these heroes, I see great valor, I see amazing courage.
And with the equipment that they're given, they're they're making the best use of it.
They just don't have enough.
And the question is, at what point does somebody stand up and say, now give them the equipment to win?
Because that uh level of of commitment has never gone to Zelensky or to Ukraine, has it?
It has not.
We've been basically writing checks saying, Oh, we're doing something and giving them just enough to lose.
They need long-range defensive weapons.
It's not it's it's not a secret how Russia wins these wars.
They grounded pound you, encircle you, and over time devour you.
And we know what what what Ukraine needs.
We know what Zelensky needs.
And you're exactly right.
Uh I understand why the American people are frustrated.
We're all frustrated.
But as I said, what are the consequences of allowing Ukraine to be taken by Putin?
It's not Afghanistan.
Afghanistan was a moral disgrace, but it's not geopolitical, threatens the existence of the United States.
If we allow Putin to reconstitute the Soviet Union, then there will be our soldiers dying in eastern Europe.
And we're not even talking about Taiwan.
We talked months ago how Afghanistan would tip Ukraine.
Here we are.
Now Taiwan's on the brink.
You know, they're watching what's happening here.
So as I said, I think it's historic consequences.
Hopefully, this song, this concert can shame the rest of the world into doing exactly what we're talking, because it's not just the United States.
So there's been a lot of talk, little action, and I uh I just fear I fear Sean, I do not want our soldiers dying in in this escalation.
I know you don't either.
Um it's uh it's historic times, but we have to will up and do the right thing.
What would Reagan do?
You tell me.
What would Reagan do?
He would not be seen on the sidelines, you know, assisting a slow loss to a free country.
I don't think he would either.
I mean, and that's the difference.
You know, the the amazing thing in all of this to me is that this is a winnable war.
Most Russians do not approve of what Vladimir Putin has done.
Now he's a thug, he's a murderer, he's a dictator, he he rules by intimidation and fear.
So most Russians have kind of been silent about all of this, uh, but they don't support the war.
They they fully understand the sovereignty issue involving Ukraine.
They don't want to go back to the days of Soviet expansionism.
And and yet here we are.
This one guy has all the power and and he's making all the decisions.
But the fact that they've even been able to hold them off as long as they have has been somewhat miraculous, and I think a tribute to the American people and and Zelensky.
Um I'm not sure if you saw this week, but Putin now is openly saying he's going for Zelensky.
Um and I'm surprised up to this point that he has survived as long as he has.
And I and believe me, I want this guy to survive.
Ninety-five percent of world leaders would have been on an airplane with millions, if not tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and currency and and precious metals, and they would be sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying the rest of their lives, not given a flying rip about their country.
Not only did he stay, but his wife and his children stayed, knowing that they'd likely be murdered.
And we talk about freedom, we talk about liberty, we talk about our past of doing the right thing, uh, being the leaders of the world.
And we're looking right now at at our soul.
This song is not about President Zelensky per se.
It's not even about the Ukrainian people.
It's like, who are we?
Are we the America of Normandy?
Are we the America that brought down the Berlin Wall?
Or are we the America that abandoned our citizen and allies in Afghanistan, are gonna watch Putin reconstitute the Soviet Union committing atrocities daily?
I don't know, Sean.
Quick break, we'll come right back more with John Andresic, Five for Fighting Back from Ukraine, the most powerful video I think he's done in his career.
Can one man save the world?
You can download it, all of it, the money goes to charity.
Listen, I I have now fallen in love with new technology as it relates to firearms, and you're gonna fall in love with it as well.
For example, ammo.
If you want to go out, it's a very short supply, it's very expensive, more so than usual, and you can train and become a marksman without live ammunition, and you can do it in the comfort of your own house thanks to the technology of Mantis X. I use it now all the time.
As a matter of fact, all the best shooters in the world do a majority of their training using this dry fire practice system at home.
Now, the Mantis X firing uh training system is no ammo, it's all electronic, it's a way to practice and improve your shooting accuracy.
You attach it to your very own firearm, it's like a weapon light.
You use it, you know, at home, at the range, it doesn't matter wherever you want.
The Mantis X gives you data-driven real-time feedback on your technique.
It'll guide you through drills and courses.
You download the app, and it's amazing what you're gonna find out about your real shooting ability.
Ninety-four percent of people that use Mantis X improve their their shooting within 20 minutes of using it.
The Mantis X is used by the Marine Corps, the Army, Special Forces.
It is military grade technology, and the best part is it's all at an affordable price.
I love it.
It's fun.
Your whole family's gonna love it.
It's called Mantis X. It's improved my shooting dramatically, and I've had to cut back shooting because of my hearing loss after 35 years on radio.
But anyway, if you believe in your second amendment rights, you gotta have to you also have to act on your second amendment responsibility to be competent and confident in your shooting ability.
Go to their website, check it out, you're gonna love it.
Mantis X.com.
That's Mantis X.com.
All right, more with John Andreysic and his his powerful video that he shot in Ukraine with the Ukrainian orchestra.
It's amazing.
You're gonna want to download it.
And if you do, all of the proceeds go to the charity, the benefit of the Save Our Allies uh charitable arm.
They're going in there and saving people every single day, an amazing group.
You had an opportunity when you were in Ukraine to meet Zelensky.
What'd you think of him?
I didn't meet Zelensky.
I met with many of his generals.
I met with many of the people there.
Um certainly he was busy, and I I frankly I didn't go there for a photo up.
I went there to make a cultural bullet in this war and have this video start a culture front on this war.
But the Ukrainian people are insane.
They're they're they're insanely courageous, they're compassionate, they are um so human.
They uh to play with this orchestra and look into their eyes, virtually every person in that orchestra had someone either killed or missing or at the front.
Um and and to be there to see firsthand what they're experiencing.
I wish every American could see what I saw.
I think any kind of doubt or hesitancy to do whatever it takes to help them win this war would would evaporate.
But um but you know what's been amazing.
I saw pictures and and you were there, and I wonder if you picked this up as well.
They had kids that were in high school dressed up in like their prom outfits, and you know, amongst the rubble of what was Ukraine and some of these these blown out towns.
Now Putin and in all his viciousness and all his evil was literally targeting apartment buildings and schools and institutions and hospitals.
I mean, it just uh a war of of pure terror and hostility.
And then here are these kids that would have otherwise been at their high school graduations and their proms, all dressed up in their prom dresses amongst the rubble of war.
And that to me was this some of the saddest imagery I've seen out of this.
It breaks your heart.
Our translator was a young woman, a bartender.
Um and then she, like so many.
Stop making fun of bartenders.
I used to do that for a living, you know.
I know you did.
I was really good at it, too.
Highly esteemed profession.
And uh, but to your point, you know, she she had the courage to to quit and join the army, and she's this this woman who's about to be married.
She's this kid that should be enjoying her early twenties, and she's fighting this war for the survival of her country.
Um, and as you said, it's a war that can be won.
And the geopolitical consequences are enormous.
And uh, I think one reason I made this video is to try to refocus the world and bring other artists with me.
Because I do think if the artists of the world stand with Ukraine and you really think Bono and and Bruce Springsteen will join with you in this?
Well, find out.
Bono went, you know, he went to Ukraine, and uh King Floyd wrote a song about Ukraine.
I think uh sometimes you just need somebody to to start the uh start the process.
You know, we saw Zelensky drag the rest of the world to the right side of history.
You start seeing Polish presidents, uh Boris Johnson go down the list.
Nobody thought they'd be in Kiev.
And uh maybe we can do that uh musically and take the lead on this, because if we don't um, you know, God help us.
I don't think we have a president that knows where Kiev is on the map, but that's my own personal opinion.
Uh I I appraise you for what you're doing.
You're a good friend, you're a brave soul, and it's the most powerful video I think you've done in your career, and you've had an amazing career to date, and I'm sure you're gonna do much more.
Uh John Andresic, and by the way, if you want to help, if you download this Ukraine tri uh tribute song, one man can one man save the world, uh all the benefits, all of the profits go to the Save Our Allies uh group that he worked with to get there and do this powerful video of his.
Uh John, great to have you.
Thank you, my friend.
Thanks so much, Sean.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break right back.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour here on a Friday.
Uh well, it took long enough to slap herd around the world.
Will Smith posting an emotional apology video uh for the Oscar slap saying uh, you know, says Chris Rock's not ready to speak with him.
Um what took him so long?
Why didn't he do it the next day?
You know, what what was that all about to begin with?
He's a comedian.
You don't like his joke, don't laugh at his joke.
If you want to say something to him, say something, he walks on stage, Bam.
I actually think Chris Rock, don't you think Linda Chris Rock, by not being able to talk about it, I think he's been like he's got like PTSD over this.
He can't he can't even discuss it.
I don't know.
I mean, I think it's the old school thing, like you know, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
So Chris Rock, when has Chris Rock been so quiet on anything?
I know.
I mean, he's maybe not his private life.
I mean, I honestly, I mean, he definitely is one of those people that you know, I I think he was in shock.
I was in shock.
Everybody was.
And it was like we all thought like Will Smith was like, you know, getting jiggy with it, find Will Smith, you know.
Like when I think of him, I think of him fondly.
I don't think of him as in a negative way.
And to watch him go up there and hit someone in broad daylight across the face in front of all of his peers.
I was like, what is happening?
Like it was just Alexander.
See, the difference is is I used to think of him fondly.
I don't think of him fondly anymore.
And I think it's well, what changed for you?
You know, just just as this all came up, I had no idea how strange a person he was, and how strange his life is, and what an arrogant I I think it's been a facade for a lot of years.
I think he's got a lot of demons in there that nobody ever really knew about.
And then the more more stuff that kept coming out, I'm reading about this guy, and I just he didn't seem very likable to me.
I mean, I think as time has gone on, there are two types of people, right?
We talk about this all the time.
There are people who decide that they're gonna remain true to who they are in their core, and then there are people who say, you know what, uh, I'm bigger, I'm better, I got more of this and more of that, and and I'm not that anymore.
And it's a it's a it's a decision, and he made it clearly.
He definitely did.
All right, let's hit our busy phones here.
Let's go to Walt is in Utah.
Where in Utah are you, Walt?
How are you?
Hi, Sean.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
You know, what really quickly, you notice there's a big difference between how the Democrats raise money and how the GOP raises money.
And the GOP is having a hard, hard time to get people to do that because we're afraid that that information is gonna be used against us.
It means that today you grab our.
Well, what you mean you think how how do you think it's gonna be used against you?
Most people that I know that donate money to like one candidate can't stand it because all those lists get shared among all the other people, and then they're constantly being hit up for money, and it drives people nuts.
It drives me nuts too, but uh I can't donate because of what I do for a living.
So, you know, I'm off the hook on that donation.
I'd rather give it to a different charity anyway.
They have plenty of money usually.
Um what do you you you think the government's gonna use it as some type of list of what sh go after you via the IRS, or what do you think they're gonna do with it?
Uh the IRS, the FBI now, we know that they're dirty.
You know about them.
They're they're utilizing those information against our people, you know, our GOPs.
And the problem is is there is there's no giving back.
Once we put that money in there, I I get emails from everybody that wants to give give money after it.
And yet there's a huge discrepancy between what the we can give the GOP and what we can give to the Democrats.
And the Democrats.
Well, it's not supposed to be like that.
It's uh the laws are supposed to be equal across the board.
Do I think a lot of these groups follow them?
No, I don't.
Um listen, I I'm careful.
If I know somebody's part of a super pack, I'm very careful in talking to them.
As far as the IRS issue goes, you know, I know that this this bill that Manchin and Schumer came up with is you know, put aside billions they think that they're gonna get by hiring all these new IRS agents.
That really is not gonna impact my life because my file gets pulled every year anyway.
You know, if for if uh the way I describe it is more people are gonna get the Hannity treatment.
And and that's why I tell everybody pay your taxes, pay them in full.
I mean, the amount of time, effort, money that goes into getting my taxes right every year, you wouldn't believe it.
You you I don't have one accounting firm, I had two accounting firms and a legal firm going over my taxes.
Um because we're not getting enough donations to the GOP, donating a $25 here and a $25 there.
I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about that part of it.
If you really look, you to win campaigns, you need money.
And if if there's a candidate you like and s want to support, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Well, I appreciate you taking the time.
You better thanks well.
You too, sir.
Have a great Friday.
Have a great weekend.
We'll stay in Utah.
And Chase is standing by.
Chase, how are you?
Where in Utah are you?
Man, I love Crown Burger.
I I am like craving a crown burger today.
I'm starving.
I eat next to nothing all day.
Next time you're next time you're in the city, bro, hit me up.
I'll we'll we'll go get one.
Yeah, well, we'll bring Rod Arquette.
Tell my buddy Rod I said hello.
For sure.
So Sean, I'm a I'm a retired combat wounded veteran.
Um, so I figured if we have some skin in this game.
And you know, the pull out in Afghanistan from Joe, besides making me sick to my stomach.
And I I can't even I can't even go over that right now with you, but I have another question, okay.
So I'm a conservative.
What why are the conservatives and the Republicans right now so spineless?
We have so much information that would bury any other regular person like me or you or somebody on the street in prison for ten lifetimes.
Yet every single time that we get it, we obtain the information.
Somehow, it just disappears.
Everything goes away.
It goes back to Hillary with the emails, Nancy Pelosi with the inside trading.
Where does it stop, bro?
Where does it stop?
Listen, I I've only been able to conclude something that I never thought I'd utter on the radio or TV on a regular basis, and I do.
Is if you're a conservative, you're a Republican, and especially if you're high profile, if you jaywalk or spit on the sidewalk, you're gonna get 10 years in jail.
Uh if you're off five dollars on your income taxes, you probably will be sent to jail.
And if you're a Democrat, you know, you can be Hunter Biden and Lion a gun application form.
You can throw the gun in a dumpster, and you're not gonna get in trouble.
You can make all of this money.
The cards are stacked.
Obviously.
I would say we we don't have equal justice under the law.
We don't.
I believe Mark Levin nailed it when he said we're in a post-constitutional America.
I believe that.
We need about 50 more you.
We need about 54 Matt Gates.
We need some pit bulls in the Republican Party that got some you know, weevos to go do something about it.
I think they call him Cajones, but yes.
But one thing that I can tell you about the the Democratic Party, at least they have they go out the they will go for broke.
I mean, the whole thing with President Trump, they have been wasting time and money for how many years.
At least I give them credit for doing it.
But our I give him credit.
I mean, I I don't know how many people would be able to take.
You know, and everybody talks about whether he sends out mean tweets and he's always fighting.
He's always fighting because he's always under attack.
Now, is he the perfect person?
No.
Um nobody's a perfect person.
But the the fighting, when he was fighting for us, and when he's fighting for America and fighting for the forgotten men and women and fighting to make America strong on the world stage, and and when he was fighting the uh the caliphate and Solomani and Baghdadi and the Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, and he would when he was fighting to build his wall, and when he was fighting to achieve energy independence, I like that kind of fight in a politician.
I like it a lot.
And we can see the difference right now between the strong president that Donald Trump was and this you know cadaver of a president, you know, decrepit Joe Biden.
It it's night and day.
It's and and yesterday I for as an American I felt you we were humiliated.
I found getting lectured by President Chi humiliating.
You know, him telling us what we can do and what we can't do.
You know, if you play with fire, you're gonna get burned.
Uh go to hell.
I don't really give a rip what you think.
And Nancy Pelosi's going to Taiwan, and we're going to put more tariffs on you, and you're going to pay for what you did To the world with the uh with the virus manufactured in that lab that you knew about because you you had your own travel ban as it related to Wuhan and the province there.
So uh, you know, intellectual property theft, unfair trade practices, you name it, they're they're responsible for it.
And Joe, because his son Hunter made all this money, I believe is compromised by China.
I think he's compromised by Ukraine.
I think he's compromised by Russia and Putin.
I think they have more information on zero experience hunter than we'd ever imagine.
That's what I believe.
Listen, Sean, I just want some people in the Conservative Party, Republican Party to fight as hard as me and my platoon did in Afghanistan.
That's all I'm asking for.
By the way, I'm thank you for your service.
Absolutely.
For somebody who's a patriot in this country, that's all that we ask.
And I know I speak for everybody in the military.
I appreciate first of all your service.
I'm sorry about your injuries.
They sound pretty debilitating.
I know many people in your position.
Uh it alters your life and your family's life forever.
None of it is fun.
And I I just we owe you a debt of gratitude.
And we can't forget our vets either.
Listen, I don't like John Stewart, but John Stewart is right on him fighting uh for these vets the way he has.
Now, the very specific issues behind the scenes a lot of people don't know.
Uh, but anyway, there's a bill.
Republicans support the bill.
These burn pit victims.
And the only reason it didn't pass this week was because the Democrats, what they put in the bill, they moved 400 billion dollars in discretionary spending to mandatory spending.
Uh, and that 400 billion had nothing to do with veterans, and Democrats want to spend another 400 billion on new spending completely unrelated to veterans.
Uh Chuck Schumer knows Pat Toomey put an amendment forward that would fix the gimmick, and they'll have an opportunity next week to pass it again, and I want them to pass it.
But that means Schumer has to give up the the gimmick and the play for more money.
You know, what did John Stewart say?
There's a lot of Republican efferry going on.
There's a lot of Democratic effery going on, and in the meantime, the vets get hurt.
I don't want anybody just do a clean bill and let's give these guys the money they deserve and take care of them.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend.
800-94-1 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh oh, Leanne, is it true you used to be a good humor uh truck driver?
Yeah, hi, Sean.
How are you?
Man, I I would have loved you as a kid.
Anytime I heard those bells, I loved hearing the ringing bells.
Yeah, I drove an ice cream truck um during my college years here in Michigan while I was at Michigan State.
I did it every summer.
It was an it was a great gig.
And it really brought a smile to my heart when you were talking about it on Tuesday.
So I wanted to just call you up and let you know it was the good old days, and uh it was a good gig, and we had lots of laughs, uh, because people would say, um, what did you do for the summer for your summer job during college?
I said I wrote an ice cream truck.
You know, and you look at the smiles on every kid's face.
I just remember every time I'd hear those bells or the music if it was Mr. Soft, although it was mostly good humor when I was growing up.
And you know, immediately we'd run in the house.
Dad, please, dad, please.
And my father, thank God, had a sweet tooth at the time, and he loved toasted almonds, which I happen to like too.
And so he usually gave in more for himself than for us, but he would usually buy us the ice cream.
Oh, it was it was great.
And so it was it was it was a great memory, great times.
It's it's good for you.
But thank you so much.
Well, I wanted to say one more thing.
Thank you so much for everything you do and for being the calm in this crazy storm we're in.
I've been a longtime listener, listener, and I just appreciate everything you do.
So thank you so very much.
As tough as these times are, we've been through tough times before.
And we have a chance.
We there is an opportunity in November to shift the tide.
And then there's going to be an opportunity two years after that.
We can fix this.
We can fix all of it.
But it's an all hands on Deck moment.
Anyway, God bless you.
And uh Leanne, sounds like a fun summer job you had.
Thank you for being with us.
All right, folks.
Would you turn down a million dollars a year?
Now, all you have to do is surrender your independence, abandon your principles for money.
Well, that's not exactly a good bargain now, is it?
As a matter of fact, you can even say it's a devil's bargain.
Now, sadly, it's one that many of American colleges and universities make, but there is one college in America that says no, and that's our favorite college, Hillsdale College.
Now, Hillsdale College refuses to accept one penny of taxpayer money, not even indirectly in the form of federal student grants and loans.
And by saying no to government money, well, Hillsdale remains genuinely independent.
That means free from corrupting federal mandates and most importantly, free to pursue their original 1844 mission to pursue truth and defend liberty.
Right now, Hillsdale has over 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students on their main campus in Michigan, their satellite campus in DC.
In addition, over three million citizens have enrolled in Hillsdale's free online courses, and over six million American households like mine will receive Hillsdale's monthly speech digest and publication called Imprimus.
Now you can learn more about Hillsdale's independence from government.
It's a mission for defending liberty and national outreach program.
We set up a special website at Sean, S-C-A-N 4 F O R Hillsdale.com.
One word, Sean for Hillsdale.com.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
