If you want to be a part of the program, so much to get to today.
Hearings going on in both the House Judiciary Committee with Jim Jordan and with James Comer.
A lot of it related to the Hunter Biden laptop.
The FBI's relationship with big tech companies in the lead up to the 2020 election.
A lot of information is coming out.
It's very powerful.
We're going to update you throughout the course of the show today on everything that's been going on.
I know on everybody's mind was last night's State of the Union address.
Um to me, the star last night was Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
She was a rock star.
You know, being a mom of three young kids taught me not to believe every story I hear, so forgive me for not believing much of anything I heard tonight from President Biden, from uh out of control inflation and violent crime to the dangerous dangerous border crisis, the threat from China.
Biden and the Democrats have failed you.
They know it, and you know it, and it's time for a change.
That was a powerful start, and that was really only the beginning.
And she said, let us reaffirm our commitment to a timeless American idea that government exists not to rule the people, but to serve the people.
And Democrats want to rule us with more government control, but that is not who we are.
America is the greatest country the world has ever known because we are the freest country the world has ever known, with people that are strong and that are resilient.
She went on later in the speech to go on and say, I'm the first woman to lead my state.
He's the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can't even tell you what a woman is.
Wow.
Uh in the radical left's America, Washington taxes you and your lights your hard-earned money on fire, but you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves, and our children are taught to hate one another on account of their race, but not to love one another and love our great country.
And whether Joe Biden believes this madness or is simply too weak to resist it, his administration has been completely hijacked by the radical left.
The dividing line in America is no longer left or right.
Or left between left and right.
The choice is between normal and crazy.
You know, Newt Gingrich has been saying this for some time.
We're dealing this is not a liberal Democrat of old.
This is not that party anymore.
That party is long gone.
There are no there's no such thing as a moderate Democrat.
They don't exist in any way, shape, manner, or form.
And then she went on to say President Biden inherited the fastest economic recovery on record, the most secure border in history, cheap, abundant, homegrown energy, fast rising wages, a rebuilt military in a world that was stable and a piece, but over the last two years, Democrats have destroyed it all.
And despite Democrats' trillions and reckless spending and mountains of debt, we now have the worst border crisis in American history.
And she said, as a mom, my heart breaks For every parent who has lost a son or a daughter to addiction.
A hundred thousand Americans a year are killed from drug overdoses, largely from fentanyl pouring in across our southern border.
By the way, most of which is coming from China.
Yet the Biden administration refuses to secure the border and save American lives.
And after years, the Democratic attacks on law enforcement and calls to defund the police, violent criminals are now roaming free while while law abiding families are living in fear.
And beyond our border from Afghanistan to Ukraine and North Korea to Iran, President Biden's weakness puts our nation and the world at risk.
The president's refusal to stand up to China, our most formidable adversary, is dangerous and it is unacceptable.
President Biden is unwilling to defend our border, defend our skies, defend our people.
He is unfit to serve as commander in chief.
Want to know who the star was last night by far?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
And by the way, remember this speech as as she goes from being governor into the public limelight.
Let's see where this career ends up.
I would not be at all surprised if she's running for president some years down the line in any way, shape, manner or form.
Now we went over a lot of this yesterday.
You know, Maris poll, nearly two-thirds of the American people rate the State of the Union as not strong.
That means weak.
If it's not strong, you're weak.
You know, ABC Washington Post poll, 62% of Americans say Biden has not achieved much during his first two years in office.
You have uh by more than three to one Americans saying the state of the nation now is quote weak as opposed to strong.
That's three to one.
You know, if you go back to October, when you asked Democrats, do you want Joe Biden to seek a second term?
52% said yes.
Now they're saying don't now only 37%.
You know, on the State of the Union poll, Americans say Biden has not accomplished much, and he hasn't.
On every single solitary measure that we have, if you look at what he inherited, the inflation number, the consumer price index by which we we measure uh inflation, 1.4%.
It's averaged, you know, a 40-year record high since he's been president.
If you look at GDP growth, what he inherited versus what it is now and what it's been, it is dramatically lower.
Interest rates for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, he inherited interest rates at 2.7%.
Last week they were at 7%, hovering around 7%.
You know, if you look at our trade deficit, it's gone off by nearly 40%, and it's become the largest trade deficit we've ever had, 948 billion dollars.
Wage gains have not outpaced inflation since Biden has taken office.
The average American household is paying what, $10,000 a year because of Biden's economic plan and energy plans that has resulted in the Biden inflation tax that nobody talks about.
Biden lied repeatedly last night.
I'm never going to raise taxes on people making under 400,000 a year.
As of January 1st, he put massive new taxes, billions and billions and tens of billions of dollars on of new taxes on oil, gas, and coal.
Now he's taxing people's retirement and their pensions, then 250 billion on new taxes, and he called for more last night, but as of January 1st, our corporations.
I'm like, are you kidding me?
Because corporations don't pay taxes, Joe.
You know, he just ignores our wide open borders and the cost and the impact it's having on the American people.
Over five million when you include the gotta ways that they estimate to be 1.2 million, over 5 million people entering this country illegally.
They caught a hundred people alone last year on the terrorist watch list.
We have no idea how many people in the last two years that might be on that list that could have gotten through.
If you look at how much fentanyl was seized at the border in January of 2021 when he became president, it was still high, 945 pounds.
Now, in December of 2022, well, now it's four million four hundred and seventy, I'm sorry, four thousand four hundred and seventy-one point six five pounds, a three hundred and seventy-three percent increase.
You just can't make up these statistics.
You know, if you look at, you know, retail gas, it's it's back up since he started stopped depleting the uh strategic petroleum reserves.
I mean, there's there's no good news here.
And then you can start with Joe Biden and all the lies that he told last night, because he told a lot of a lot of whoppers.
There's a great New York Post uh headline or front cover that says uh missed State of the Union.
Biden tells so many fibs during the speech, we can't even count them.
And in other words, how much he lied going through all of this last night.
You know, and they called him Pinocchio Joe, which, you know, basically is pretty accurate.
His claim that Republicans want Medicare, Social Security to sunset.
No, that was a lie.
We'll play that in the course of the program today.
Um we also found a tape, my cracker jack uh staff here of Joe Biden wanting to freeze Social Security and Medicare, and how many times he brags about trying to do such.
When he claimed that they created 12 million new jobs, that's not true either.
No jobs were created after the vaccine was developed and COVID lockdowns were lifted, businesses went back to work and rehired those who were laid off.
Those are not 12 million new jobs.
Him claiming that inflation has been a global uh problem because of the pandemic that disrupted supply chains and Putin's war.
Here's the problem.
Yeah, but it was particularly bad here because of massive government spending and his ridiculous energy policies.
You know, his claim that the inflation reduction act is is the most significant investment ever to tackle the climate crisis.
It's I I I could just go on and on.
Just this one article alone would take the pretty much the remainder of the show.
And by the way, cashiers at burger joints, you know, McDonald's, etc., they're not forced to sign non-compete clauses.
And by the way, do you think they'd actually enforce them?
And how much money it would cost McDonald's, a Burger King if somebody decided to leave uh one of those places of work?
Now I have a non-compete in my contract uh because what I do is unique and special for my radio partners and my television partners.
Okay, a little different than if you decide maybe I can make two dollars more an hour if I move to this fast food place over that fast food place.
Two-thirds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
The average American household is paying $10,000 in Biden inflation tax, gas prices are up 46%, real wage growth is down, heating and electric bills now at a 25-year high.
Credit card debt is it at an all-time record, a 15% jump in the third quarter.
That's the highest in over two decades.
America's trade deficit, the highest on record.
GDP growth is down.
Mortgage rates last week were at about 7% for a 30-year fixed uh when he took office, it was only 2.7%.
Americans are now paying more taxes than ever, uh, including those making under 40,000 a year.
He lied repeatedly about not taxing people, but again, new taxes on oil, gas, coal, uh, new taxes on people's pensions, retirements, new taxes on corporations.
Yeah, everybody making under $4,000, $400,000 a year will be paying all of that.
And the question remains, and I told you la yesterday to ask yourself this question during the State of the Union.
Are you better off now than you were two years ago?
Are you better off financially?
Is the country more safe and secure?
Are we better off with national security?
I don't think so.
Because most people, you know, are dying.
And by the way, if the Chinese balloon thing taught us one thing, is Joe Biden is not willing or able to protect us when it matters most.
Why did they hide it from we, the American people for what, four or five days?
Why didn't they take this thing out of the sky as it was go about to go into airspace over Alaska?
They said they saw the whole thing happening and unfolding in real time.
You know, but yet it flies from Alaska down the west coast of Canada into Idaho from Idaho over Montana over our ICBM missile silos, uh, then down to Missouri and Kansas and Kentucky and then the Carolinas.
And they did nothing.
And they told us nothing.
You know, China's and and Joe Biden said, oh, they're not really a threat over China.
They're not a threat.
Well, what if there were bioweapons in there?
Well, what in the if in the future, maybe this was a test run or an EMP attack?
China's never posed more of a threat to the U.S. and our and the world than they do now.
And what did Biden do?
Is he confronted China?
Has he gotten on the phone with President Xi?
Has he ever brought up COVID and what they did to the world knowingly because they had their own travel ban?
They wouldn't let people in Wuhan go into Wuhan province.
They wouldn't let people uh outside of Wuhan fly in there, and people couldn't fly out of there unless they flew to another country.
You ever confront them about the fighter jets flying over our ally Taiwan's airspace?
Did he ever confront them?
Uh, you know, why does Joe want to sell oil from our depleted strategic petroleum reserves to the communist Chinese?
Joe ever challenged China on their slave labor, the oppression of the Uyghur minority groups.
You know, how much money I want to know how much money in business the Biden family has done with China.
Millions, tens of millions, billions.
When is it going to be disclosed to we, the American people?
So we can make a decision of whether or not he's compromised or not compromised.

By the way, we got great tape of Joe Biden.
Let's listen to Joe Biden on Social Security because that became a big issue last night.
We'll do a lot more on this as the show unfolds.
But this is what we found, Joe Biden, 1995.
When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well.
I meant Medicare and Medicaid.
I meant veterans.
I meant every single solitary thing in the government.
And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time.
Linda, did I just hear Joe Biden talking about trying to cut Social Security and freeze it and Medicare and Medicaid?
Did I hear that?
I'm sure my ears deceive me, right?
You're not listening.
Anyway, or if microphones off.
Anyway, by the way, Gallup has a poll.
50% of Americans now say their finances are worse off than only one year's a year ago.
The poor ladies at the View are so upset.
Republicans disrespect it last night.
They were despicable.
Okay.
You know, this guy, these policies, by every measure, have failed this country.
You know, he's he won't even negotiate.
He said Republicans are holding our economy hostage.
It's Joe Biden that said that he wouldn't negotiate with Kevin McCarthy.
But in 2011, he excoriated those people that said it's my way or the highway, which is now his position as president.
And then they negotiated a deal to raise the debt ceiling, and that resulted in the deficit reduction act, which resulted in sequestration, which resulted in less spending, which means uh that it actually worked.
So we need all hundred 22 Republicans to unite behind a plan, and then they can get the then they'll raise the debt ceiling.
And the full faith and credit of the United States government won't be put in jeopardy.
One question in these hearings with Comer, and I'll get into this when we get back.
These hearings with Comer and Jordan are going to bear a lot of fruit, not the least of which is how much business did Joe Biden do with China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and all of these countries.
We need to know whether our president's compromised or not.
We need to know whether our president is a member of the United States.
The radio show, the mainstream media loves date.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls coming up later.
All things simple man Bill O'Reilly today, Tom Cotton today.
I got so much to get to.
We got these hearings going on.
We have reaction of the State of the Union.
Let me first tell you about Lone Star Transfer.
If you have a timeshare, this is the only company I trust.
They're the best at this.
You know what's happening if you own the timeshare.
Most clients, you know, you're shocked to find out uh that your timeshare is rarely available because they now have opened them up to the public.
People are upset.
Their yearly dues now have been doubling year after year after year.
Again, this year.
Now for well over a decade, Lone Starrtransfer.com, uh a family-run company, wonderful people.
They have helped thousands and thousands of people legally and permanently get out of their never-ending timeshare fees.
They have an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
They have over 900 five-star testimonials.
Their clients know Lone Star Transfer is the best and the only company to trust.
And their promise at Lone Star Transfers is they guarantee the release of all liability to your timeshare in writing and in a specific time frame.
Anyway, you can give them a call right now.
They'll give you a no-obligation consultation.
833-594-007-5833-594-0075 or online at Lone StarTransfer.com.
By the way, we just found out some new information.
I saw this on Fox News.com.
Joe Biden bragged last night that he stood up to China.
Oh, really?
He didn't stood up to China on anything.
And, you know, uh it's just frustrating.
This the this it was seeing a weak American president just drives me nuts.
Seeing a lying and weak uh president, you know, makes me even crazier.
Anyway, Biden said before I came into office, the story about how the People's Republic of China was increasing in power and America was was falling in the world, not anymore.
Today we're in the strongest position in decades to compete with China or anyone else in the world.
Well, apparently President Xi was not particularly impressed by Biden's great American revival the way he thinks.
The Pentagon apparently, we now know, sought out a phone call between the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and his Chinese counterpart on Saturday after the U.S. shot down the Chinese spy balloon.
That offer was rebuffed.
They said drop dead.
No thanks.
We're not talking to you.
So lines between our militaries are particularly important when there's a moment like this.
Uh, but they declined the request Of Joe Biden's Department of Defense.
You want to know why?
Because they don't care and they don't fear anything of Joe Biden.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have done anything like they did.
Well, it happened during Trump three times.
Oh, we were able to piece it together years later.
Um, but it was not, it was a very short incursion over airspace.
Um, and nobody saw it, and we don't have any imaging to show the American people that it actually happened, and no, nobody in the Trump administration had ever heard of any such thing.
That's been their excuse.
By the way, Trafalgar, two thirds of likely voters say Biden botched the spy balloon crisis, which is pretty much stating the obvious.
Uh, pretty sad on so many fronts.
All right, so um the one thing I want to say, did anyone else notice but me that as I'm watching Biden, uh it was a very bizarre speaking style, if you want to call it a style, or you know, the cadence, the pitch, the delivery.
I mean, started out mumbling and bumbling almost at times at some times incoherent.
Um, and and by the way, and I hear people saying this is the best you're gonna get from him, but that's not particularly a high standard that he was lucid.
He's been practicing the speech apparently with milk and cookies for for weeks and weeks on end.
Uh, then there was the slurring that went on.
I I mean, who knows what's going on with this guy?
Nobody really knows.
Um, by the way, Biden repeated it last night, the lie that his administration would never raise taxes on anybody making under 400,000 a year.
But um tell tell that to the men and women across America that work in the food service industry.
Because I can tell you the last time I checked, there's not a whole lot of waiters and waitresses that make four hundred thousand dollars a year.
And yet the Biden IRS, according to this report, now wants to go after waiters, waitresses, bartenders, and their tip money.
From Fox News.com, the Internal Revenue Service has now proposed a revenue procedure this week to crack down on the service industry's reporting of tips.
The service industry tip compliance agreement program would be a voluntary tip reporting system in which the IRS and the service industry companies cooperate, according to the announcement, as part of the proposal, the IRS will give the public until early May to provide feedback on the program.
Those 87,000 new IRS agents that you were promised would only target the rich, uh, apparently they're coming after waitresses, waiters, and bartenders, which is for many a big part of their income.
And Joe Biden, by the way, promises to finish his hit job on America as the uh Michael Goodwin put it.
Let's finish the job.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Finish the job.
Hasn't he done enough damage at this point?
I think the answer is obvious.
Uh Biden's state of delusion sets records for dishonesty.
I mentioned earlier the New York Post today, and they're covered.
Joe Biden Joe Leiden is the cover, and basically they go through every he sold he he literally he he told so many lies last night that nobody can keep up with it.
And remember, it's all about big pharma.
It's about uh big oil companies, it's about those evil billionaires that don't pay their fair share of of taxes.
Let me give you some context to that.
Because this is a notion that that is it's it's claimed with regularity and it's not rooted in truth or in reality.
Because the White House is claiming in fact that a sheet in a typical year, billionaires pay an average tax rate of only eight percent.
Now, how do they get to that number?
And if it was eight percent, I'd say that's that's pretty unfair.
Um but to get to that number, what the White House is doing is they are including unsold stock that is owned by the 400 wealthiest families as quote, income.
That is not income unless it is realized.
For example, many, many of you might have owned stock in Facebook, Meta, whatever they're calling that that company these days, and let's say two Years ago it was worth, and I'm pulling this out of thin air, two hundred dollars a share.
Now it's worth fifty dollars a share.
Well, if they if they want you to pay a tax on the two hundred dollar figure and you don't cash in your stock, it's it's not realized income.
So in other words, they would pay taxes on that stock when they sell that stock based on what the stock price is at that time.
But if you take away their phony math that they're using, and independent tax analysis shows the wealthiest Americans pay twenty-two, twenty-five percent a year in income not lower than a school teacher or a firefighter that pays less.
The rich pay over top one percent paid over close to fifty percent of federal income taxes last year, the bottom fifty percent less than two.
And I know it's convenient, I know it sounds good, and we're gonna take their money and we're gonna give it to you.
We're gonna empower our government.
The only problem is rich people, at least the ones I know, are not usually stupid people, and they will find other places to live, other states to live, other countries to live in, if it means that the government is going to come after their money the way they talk about coming after their money.
It's unbelievable.
Um let me move on to something else here while I've got an opportunity.
So they've been these hearings going on all day.
You've got in the Judiciary Committee, you've got Jim Jordan in his investigation, and a lot of it has to do with the FBI and whether or not it's politicized and the DOJ and whether or not it's it's weaponized.
And also both committees are looking into the issue of the FBI and possible interference in the 2020 election.
Now, you might recall that this guy, Mr. Chan, led a FBI effort to have weekly conversations with big tech companies and remind big tech companies that they were likely going to be targeted prior to the election by outside entities, enemy countries with disinformation, misinformation in the lead up to the 2020 election.
Now, the guy heading up these meetings, Mr. Chan, well, in 2016, he was a guy writing a thesis on how Donald Trump and Russia colluded for Donald Trump to win the 2016 election.
I would say that is not a good selection for this important position if you're going to be having weekly conversations with big tech companies if you really believed it was true.
You know, and Jim Jordan pointed out you had weekly meetings, he's talking with with this guy, the head of uh site integrity, this guy, Yoel Roth, uh, about all this, and he said you had weekly meetings with Mr. Chan to the run-up to the election.
They sent you all kinds of emails.
They send documents uh, you know, in their super secret James Bond teleporter.
You get information on I I think you guys wanted to take it down, and I think you guys got played by the FBI.
And that's the scary part because we had fifty, well, actually fifty-one former intelligence officials also lied to the American people about the veracity of Hunter Biden's laptop.
The great irony and corruption lies in the fact that the FBI had the laptop in their possession since December of 2019.
They could have easily authenticated it, and then they would have been able to tell in one of their weekly meetings uh all these big tech companies, uh, yeah, it looks like it's true.
They could have actually confirmed it and told the truth so the American people would have an honest assessment of the presidential candidates before the election took place.
And he points out five days after you guys take down the Hunter Biden story and block the New York Post account, five days later, 51 former Intel officials send a letter and say the Hunter Biden story had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.
Jim Jordan says the information operation was run on you guys, and by extension, it was really run on the American people.
Then you switch over to the House uh committee on oversight and accountability, and that's James Comer's committee.
And he said, today we're hearing from Twitter executives who buried the New York Post laptop story, claiming it violated the platform's hack materials policy.
In reality, Twitter executives were hostile towards conservatives and biased towards anyone who opposed their points of view.
For example, Mr. Roth, did you write this tweet?
And then he's the head of you know integrity, site integrity, former global head of trust and safety on Twitter, quote, I regret the language that I used in some of my former tweets, but yes, I wrote that.
And then the chairman, Jim Comer says, I'll read the tweet so it's on the record.
Yes, the person in the pink hat is clearly a bigger threat to your brand of feminism than actual Nazis in the White House.
Mr. Roth, do you still think conservatives and Nazis are all Nazis?
Mr. Roth says, uh, certainly not, sir.
What about the hundreds of people that worked in the Trump administration?
And then he said, certainly not, sir.
Well, it's obvious that he had a bias.
Now, if you extrapolate out what it would cost to control a story like the Hunter Biden laptop story, you can't even begin to calculate the amount of money in in terms of an in-kind donation that they are giving.
And they're not being honest about it.
And that's the that's probably the biggest part of it.
You know, and as Comer said in his opening statement, the FBI advised senior Twitter executives to question the validity of the Hunter Biden story.
We know one of the witnesses, Yo Roth before us today, participated in an Aspen Institute exercise in September of 2020 on a potential hack and dump operation related to Hunter Biden.
So they were being told by the FBI it might be about Hunter.
Now they knew that the Hunter Biden laptop existed.
Why were they constantly talking about Hunter?
Because then when the laptop that they knew was in the hands of Rudy Giuliani eventually came out before the election, which they probably predicted, likely predicted, then they'd be able to say, see, we told you this was going to happen.
This is none of this is true.
And Joe Biden assured the American people he'd never spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings.
But the post article indicated Joe Biden lied to the American people.
And by the way, Hunter implicates his own father in his own messages on the laptop from hell.
Anyway, immediately following the story's publication, America witnessed a coordinated campaign by social media companies, mainstream news and intelligence community to suppress and delegitimize the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents.
Why is this important?
Because it's having an impact on the election.
Information that was true.
We were it was like an organized effort led up by the FBI itself to convince the American people that it's not true.
And the FBI had the laptop and easily, they had 11 months to corroborate what was on the laptop.
It's pretty unbelievable.
All Jamie Raskin wanted to talk about was unemployment the last 50 years.
All AOC wanted to say, we're talking about Hunter Biden's half fake laptop story.
What part is fake, AOC?
Tell us.
I'd like to hear.
Anyway, we're going to play a lot of the hearing coming up as the uh show unfolds today.
We'll get to all that.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, want to remind you about this great new organization called Pre-Born.
If you believe in the sanctity of life, uh, you're going to love this organization.
The good news is that you can help save babies' lives.
And they're using the science of ultrasound to show mothers to be, in other words, expecting moms, uh, whether it's an unplanned pregnancy, planned pregnancy, whatever it happens to be.
But, you know, when you look at the 4D images of ultrasound, and you see fingers and toes and facial features, and when you hear the sound of a heartbeat, well, so far, pre-born has been able through the use of science to rescue over 200,000 babies.
But they only do it because of your generosity.
And every penny you give goes directly to the cause, and you can sponsor ultrasounds to hopefully save babies' lives.
Just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.
I'm going to be doing it myself.
Pound 250, keyword baby, or you can go to their secure website at preborn.com slash Sean.
That's preborn.com slash Sean.
Music.
Thank you.
Sean Hennedy.
I mean so much here that's happening in these uh Hearings.
Um, and it's very, very revealing in terms of what's going on here.
Now, Jim Jordan uh talked to this guy, Yo Roth, about Twitter's collusion with the FBI, and he said, okay, so the FBI didn't tell you that it was fake and tell you that it was hacked.
Uh, Mr. Roth, did the story violate your policies?
In my judgment at the time, it did not.
And he asked, Well, why did you why did you run it?
The company made the decision.
I mean, all of this just, you know, the this is now two, if not three elections in a row, two presidential elections, but Mueller was going on during the 2018 election.
So in the first one in 2016, you've got this, you know, you've got the FBI trying to authenticate the steel dossier.
In early October, they fly over to Great Britain, talk to the former MI6 agent, offer him a million dollars to corroborate it.
He can't corroborate it.
And then, in spite of it not being verified, they sign not one, not two, not three, but four FISA applications with the bulk of information being the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier.
And they used it to spy on Carter Page and backdoor that through to Donald Trump.
And yet nobody gets held accountable.
And now they put the finger on the scale in the 2020 election.
Anyway, we'll get Bill O'Reilly's take on last night's State of the Union.
When we get back, Senator Tom Cotton will check in with us.
We'll get to your calls today, 800-941 Sean, as we continue.
