What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked.
Why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?

Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Alright, news round up information overload hour 800 941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the uh program.
Uh we'll get to your calls coming up straight ahead.
So, um, I watched last night, I didn't watch it live.
Uh, this Netflix stand-up.
It was the first time I believe that Netflix ever did a real live stand-up routine in this particular case.
It was Chris Rock and a lot of people leading up to Chris Rock.
Um, and it's also the first time, and it's almost a year later, since the slap heard around the world, and that was uh, of course, Will Smith, the actor who's been banned now from the Academy Awards, I guess what, for the next 10 years.
Uh this is what he said.
It's called the Selective Outrage Special.
And I first of all, I gotta give everybody a warning.
This is Chris Rock.
Chris Rock uses pretty salty language, uh, just giving you a heads up uh ahead of time.
Um, but when he talked about everyone knows what happened and Jada Smith, I mean the two comments he made about his wife, um basically was his way of finally saying, I've had enough of this, and he's been, you know, holding it in, holding it back, and he unleashed.
Listen to what he said.
Because everybody knows what the f happened.
Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that.
I didn't have any entanglements.
I did not have any entanglement.
And then for people that don't know what everybody knows, Will his wife was fing her son's friend, okay.
Now I normally would not talk about this, but for some reason these n put that on the internet.
She said uh me, a fing grown-ass man should quit his job because her husband didn't get nominated for concussion.
And then this nigga gives me a fing concussion, okay?
Alright, and it was uh a pretty remarkable thing watching this.
Um, I think he's one of the funniest comedians out there.
Uh, and you know, just listening to him and and talk about did the slap hurt?
This is what he said.
Y'all know what happened to me getting smacked by Sug Smith.
Everybody knows.
Everybody fing knows.
Yes!
It happened.
I got smacked like a year ago.
Last week I got smacked in the fing Oscars by this mother f the people I did it hurt.
It still hurts.
I got some time ringing in my ears.
But I'm not a victim, baby.
You will never see me on Oprah again, Cryan.
You will never see it.
Never gonna happen.
I couldn't believe it.
And I love men in black.
No.
It's never gonna happen.
No.
I took that hit like Pacquiao, mother.
And people, well, you guys are fighting all the time.
We're not fighting.
First of all, I know you can't tell on camera.
Will Smith is significantly bigger than me.
We are not the same size.
Okay.
We are not.
It's got this guy, Will Smith does movies with his shirt off.
You've never seen me do a movie with my shirt off.
If I'm in a movie again, open heart surgery.
I got on a sweater.
Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie.
You think I'll audition for that part?
All right.
There is there you have it.
And uh everybody I know that watched it loved it.
I thought it was a great did you watch it, Linda?
I did not.
You miss you gotta watch it.
It's really well done.
I mean, thinking back how long this has been and him saying he's gonna wait for the right moment to do it, it was pretty interesting.
I think he's funny.
One of the funniest comics out there.
One of the things that he and Dave Chappelle both have going for them, although I guess Chappelle goes under controversy with the trans community a lot, but one of the things they both have going for them is is it's not a lot of filters.
I mean, he he talked a little bit about selective moral outrage.
We talk about that all the time on this program.
But the fact that he just unloaded and can unload and say things that many other people in society are afraid to say because they're gonna get canceled, fired, boycotted or whatever, uh, was pretty interesting to me.
Uh Reverend C. O. Bryant, uh senior fellow of Freedom Works is uh with us.
Uh, did you get to watch the special?
I did, Sean, and I think that like you, I think Chris has evolved into a very brilliant, brilliant comedian, and I think his social commentary on the woke and cancel culture movement was right on target.
It's an indication that there's an awakening uh that is going on even in Hollywood because they're feeling the pain of what wokeism and cancel culture is all about.
Just like the rest of us, we're sick and tired as Americans of being told what we can and cannot say and what our opinions should be.
That is not the American America that our founders and even those who march for civil rights and all of us now, speaking from this conservative platform, uh, are all about.
And so I applaud Chris Rock, and I certainly hope that uh that message is in fact bipartisan because it certainly reached across.
I I love look, I know the Bible says revenge is mind say it the Lord.
If you live by the s sword, you'll die by the sword, but on the other hand, sell everything you have and get a sword.
Um, but you're the preacher, not me.
Uh the fact that he waited, and I love this line about yeah, you're not gonna see me on Oprah Winfrey.
Um or or any of these TV shows complaining or whining, like kind of like Harry and Megan, uh, on all the time.
They want private lives, but they do Netflix specials, write books, and go on Oprah.
I mean, it's stupid.
Um, but I love the fact that he waited for the moment that he felt it was right for him to come out and do it, and the it was well worth the wait, I'll tell you that.
It was, Sean, and you know the chains of victimization are also being broken.
Uh, because that is how black people have been cast, not by white folks, black folks have been victims of themselves buying into the identity that's been placed upon them by white liberals and progressives.
And finally, uh the the people who is hurting the most, and that's those comedians.
They make a lot of money.
Chris Rock makes a lot of money.
Dave Chappelle makes a lot of money.
Nothing wrong with that.
They are expressing their individual opinions.
The same way the guy who whistles or sings Dixie, uh, or the guy who gives a black power salute is agreeing.
Hey, that's America, as long as they don't infringe upon C. L. Bryant's right to do what he's all about.
And that's what we should be about.
And I think Chris Rock did a great job.
Yes, vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
I will repay.
But the there is common sense measures that all of us have to adhere to, and that's why we have laws, Sean, because people do and say stupid things.
And so in our culture, we say, well, maybe we need a law to keep the stupidity level at a certain uh level.
And so cancel culture and wokism has gone beyond the pale of stupidity.
Not saying there should be laws against folks uh disagreeing with us.
Of course not.
But you should not have the right to shut down a Chris Rock, a Sean Hannity, or a C. L. Bryan.
Certainly not a Dave Chappelle.
And certainly, uh, Sean, I thank you for the platform that you give all of us on a daily uh basis to speak.
You know, it's funny.
I've never my whole career ever thought once of wanting to be a part of canceling any person, calling for the firing of any person, boycotting any person.
Uh, but yet my entire career, I have had entire groups being paid a fortune to do that very thing to me.
And I'm by the way, I'm not whining, I'm not complaining.
I'm not going on Oprah either.
I'm just saying to you that there's a very different reality if you're a conservative in this country versus if you're a liberal.
Same with our justice system.
Sean, we've been friends a long time now, nearly ten years.
And let me tell you something.
We've seen these fights.
We've seen those.
You remember what it was like for me uh when I first made my film Runaway Slave.
I it was it was horrible uh being a black uh conservative, being a black Republican.
But now the very message that we were trying to get across and were ostracized for the very message that you've been touting for years right here on the radio.
Sean, they are now waking up to it.
And somehow I feel as though there's a vindication uh of of our message that is coming about because even those who were the trumpets of uh of those attacks here in this country are now singing the same song that we were trying to teach them 10, 13 years ago.
I see Reverend, I could tell you today people are lying about me, saying Hannity said this, Hannity said that, but Hannity didn't tell us what he really thought.
It's all a lie.
Every single solitary day, I I get lied about.
And you know, I I've just come to accept it.
Maybe I'm just immune to it at this point.
Um, I I certainly know my audience is hip to it, and that they when they read it, they're skeptical and they don't necessarily believe it because they've seen lies now going on for decades regarding me and other conservatives.
So they there's they're rightly skeptical, but you know, trust in the media has never been lower, uh, Reverend.
Trust in the media has never been lower, and trust in our government officials, our elected government officials have never been lower.
I do believe that there is a change coming, Sean, and I do believe that uh the message that that uh we've been trumpeting for years now is is being heard, and I think the American people have evolved to a point in our culture and in our society,
in our government, where we're sick and tired of being led around like sheep to an American slaughter, and we can't commit that type of suicide in the greatest nation that has ever been, and the greatest success story that's ever been told, and that is America.
Quick break more with the Reverend C. O'Brien on the other side.
Then we'll get to your phone calls, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.

When I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

We continue with the Reverend C.O. Bryant.
He is a senior fellow of Freedom Works.
A lot of what we've been discussing has to do with Chris Rock and his beatdown of Will Smith finally after almost a year that has gone by.
Is there more freedom for minorities now than than there is for people of other backgrounds, races, ethnicities?
Sean, let me tell you, I grew up in Shrek War.
In the sense in terms of free speech only, I want to be very clear what I'm asking here.
Oh, of course.
Uh, there were certain things that uh my parents wouldn't dare say.
They wouldn't dare say them back in the 60s and and late 50s.
Uh of course that there is an evolution of free speech.
Uh, you take from the time of Archie Bunker or Blazing Saddles, or any any type shows like that, uh, where expression was it was was looked for.
Diversity was trying to uh butt out.
But now you see that being stymied by the very But think back, Reverend.
Go back to Archie Bunker.
Go back to his relationship with George Jefferson.
Uh, go back to how people perceived Archie Bunker.
Uh, and they got it that that Archie was coming off as a bigot and a racist.
They uh they it wasn't necessarily the joke.
They were in on the fact that this guy was pretty bigoted.
They that they were hip to it.
And what's so strange, Sean, is that they made us all laugh at that type of treatment of that white man.
Now, Arch now George Jefferson was an upwardly mobile black man who owned a cleaners.
He was wealthy and became wealthy.
He moved on up to the east side.
But who was attacked?
It was Archie who was attacked.
The hardworking cat taxi cab driver.
And George was able to call him anything he actually I think he worked at the docks, but that's a different story.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
But but just the same.
Uh George Jefferson was able to say of Archie anything he wanted.
And that you had Meathead confronting him whenever he would say anything that he felt was out of line, and people got to see both sides.
I don't know.
I I don't think you could put even put that show on the air today.
It the reruns do not come on, Sean.
The reruns do not come on.
And so this is where we've gotten to.
And who are these people?
Who are these people who we have allowed to shape our mindset and tell us, the American people, a free people, what we can or cannot say, or you'll be canceled.
That's uh that's not even that's not Christian.
Uh God gives us our personal choices and our personal freedoms.
That's a God-given right.
And our founders put it in our founding documents that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights among these is life, liberty, and the pursuit of what makes us happy.
And council culture does not make anyone happy.
And what's the one?
And Reverend, I'll say this.
I I believe with all my heart, mind and and soul that we're all created by the same God.
It's that simple.
Uh although you have advantages that I don't, because every time you get pulled over, we do call you heavy foot, Reverend C. L. Bryant.
You've been pulled over so many times, and you say, Officer, have you accepted the Lord Jesus into your heart?
Can I pray with you, officer?
And you've never gotten a ticket in your entire life.
It cracks me out.
Sean, that's amazing.
Hey, listen, I told Linda all about it.
You need to be at my wedding.
You know it.
Linda knows where it is.
It's a place you know.
I'm getting married uh in October, and I want you to be there.
Uh people you know will be there.
And so I certainly Linda'll tell you where I'm where I'm getting married, and it's a place that you know, right here in South Florida.
And so I look forward uh to to being with you and seeing you, and thank you so much for uh what you choose.
I only wish you God's blessings and happiness, Reverend, and uh congratulations.
I don't have the best track record when it comes to showing up at weddings, do I, Linda?
You do not.
I do not, but I I I do send great gifts, do I not, Linda?
You do indeed.
But uh yours would be wordse, though, Reverend.
We love you.
God bless you as always.
Thanks for being with us.
We appreciate it.
God bless you, Sean.
Thank you.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break, right back, we'll continue.
Um anyway, one funny thing that happened over the weekend at CPAC uh was the straw poll that they had on the end that President Trump won.
Uh and Ron DeSantis came in second.
It was a pretty wide gap.
Then this guy came in third place.
I never heard of this guy.
Now, I I would like to think, Linda, I read a lot.
Um I'd like to think I'm well informed.
I had no idea who Perry Johnson was.
None whatsoever.
I don't think you were alone with that.
Yeah, I think a lot of people were pretty surprised.
Uh uh on the Democratic side, it's getting very, very interesting how much Democrats are now beginning to hate Joe.
We talked about this a little earlier here.
A lot of unease from from Democrats about Joe running for re-election, and whether whether or not he could possibly be a strong candidate.
Uh some Democrats looking beyond Biden, urging maybe past quote Democratic superstars in their minds anyway, like Hillary Clinton, Al Gore.
I mean, that's that's pretty d desperate.
Uh then you got Illinois Governor uh Pritzker.
That would be a disaster for the country.
I guess he thinks he can be, you know, president at some point.
Uh then you have Mary Ann Williamson announcing she's running for president and claiming the Democratic primary is rigged.
Here's what she said.
So the two questions that you've asked there.
First has to do with the obvious rigging of this primary schedule.
The DNC theoretically is supposed to stay neutral until a nominee has already been chosen.
But what happened here was a deliberate effort.
They're not even they're not even covert about it anymore.
They're very overt about it.
Let's get rid of of New Hampshire, since as we know, New Hampshire did not do uh Joe Biden did not do well in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire's like progressive and independent candidates.
So we get rid of New Hampshire.
All that's all about diversity.
If it was just about diversity, we'd be putting Georgia in there, we'd be putting Michigan in there.
And we know that he does well in South Carolina.
So the American people see this.
The American people see this, Jonathan.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
I think I could say pretty confidently that she's not gonna be winning the nomination.
What do you think, Linda?
I think if Joe Biden can be president, then anyone can be president.
That means you think I could be president.
Oh, for sure.
I think that America would vote for you nine times out of ten over Joe Biden.
It's just I'm not so sure.
That's half the problem.
Half the country is nuts and buys into this climate alarmist cultism.
Uh well, am I wrong?
I'm not sure.
No, no, it's not that you're wrong.
It's just that I mean at some point we have to really I mean, you got Jill saying that we can't ask for competency tests, and you know, he can't finish the sentence.
He did the weird walk away thing again this weekend.
I mean I mean the guy he just isn't aware seemingly of where he is at any given time and what day it is.
That's what it is.
100%, dude.
It's really bad.
Uh all right, let's get to our busy phones.
Many of you have been very, very patient.
Patty is in Illinois.
Patty, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
Thanks for uh taking my call.
Well, it's so funny because I watched CPAC and you got a shout out by President Trump, and then you had him on, and uh I just I was like, ah, he's got him on the studio today too.
But um everything that you guys talked about was great.
My thing is the economy uh because it is literally affecting me and my family.
And um under Trump, um I was starting to get things better, do better under this president, this economy.
I am literally payday to payday, Sean, and it's scary, and things look like it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Patty, first of all, I've been there.
It is scary.
It it's not fun.
Um I lived paycheck to paycheck for a lot of years in my early adult life.
And when I was in construction and I left home and I had spent all my money on school, I didn't have any money, and it was a struggle.
It wasn't it was hard.
And uh I never was unhappy.
I just, you know, tried to work harder and harder and harder, and and and the hard work ultimately did pay off uh even long before I got into radio.
But uh it's tough.
But we're not just talking about you.
We're talking about like two-thirds of your fellow countrymen and women in the same exact position that you are.
You know, all these people that are now predicting that the economy is going to dive are scaring the living hell out of me right now.
Right.
And Sean, the thing that that you've touched on right there is you worked and you did stuff, but it was a different error.
We had confidence that, hey, you can work and you can be make your dreams come true.
Here it's like, no, we're not gonna let you do this, we're not gonna allow you to have this.
We don't have any freedoms of speech.
It's just can I can I offer you a little unsolicited advice kind of based a little bit on my experience?
In in my pile on on all the economic news that we have today, is about one article written about how the labor participation rate is so low in the country.
Now, and what does that mean for somebody like you?
For example, what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?
Oh no, um, I work uh at a call center.
I'm a customer service rep. I take inbound calls.
Um right now, though, I'm currently because I had a broken ankle, so I'm off because I had surgery, and one of the problems is I have to pay Cobra to keep my insurance because the bills are so high.
But yeah, that's my uh job is Is there any way you can find a job similar like that where you're on the phone and you're able to sit and or maybe elevate your leg and and still work?
Yeah, I am looking right now to see, especially if I can work in home, and then that way I'm not because I had a major s uh break um and I had surgery, I have a pen and plate in it, and but it's getting better, so I'll be able to eventually go back, but I am looking because I know there's some places out there and even some conservative call center type jobs, and so that is what I'm Well, you know what?
Maybe I'll put out a little call here on the program, and if somebody maybe is running a company or in a position to hire people where you would be able to work from home uh with your leg in its current condition and and make accommodations to elevate your leg and and take care of it and do whatever you need to do with it.
Maybe we can find something that you can do that can just get you over this hump.
I remember in the middle of of m my years of having no money, I remember I I fell off a roof three stories and literally my arm separated from my elbow, you know, down to my hand, and you know, I had to get a job the next week, and I ended up getting hired at a at a you know, a shipbuilding place called Blount Marina, and then when the guy that hired me saw him that my arm was messed up, he goes, What the hell's wrong with the arm?
And the guy showed some little bit of compassion on me.
I said, I really need to work and I need the money, and he you know, he stuck with me, let me work, you know, gave me work that I could do.
And when you run into compassionate people that are willing, that's the America that I remember, and that's the America that I think we need to get back is people, you know, wanting to work.
I want to go back to work.
I'm grateful that I have a job where I have insurance benefits and still can have 'em.
And I'm I paid into the short-term disability, so um, I've got something, but it's not what my current but like I said, if I could just catch a break, and I appreciate you and that story you're telling because like you said, you had somebody that looked at you and thought, hey, wait a minute, but he had every right to fire me.
My my arm was a mess.
And he's he gave me he said, I'm gonna give you a couple of weeks, you're gonna work in the hull over here, and you're gonna hide from that house over there where the owner, Mr. Blount lived.
And you know, it's funny because uh Linda, didn't the Blount family once like check to see there's no way Hannity worked here, right?
And then he called in and he was like, I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.
I'm like, I'm sure it is.
Well that guy I remember the foreman's name was Mac.
I don't know his last name, I don't remember it, but Mac, if if you're around, thank you for helping a kid in need, because I needed I needed that job desperately.
Uh stay on the phone, Patty, let's see if we can't get you some help.
If there's anybody out there that might have work, uh obviously she has limitations.
She'd have to work from home, and maybe you send her a cell phone and give her a list of names to call and let her do it from the the comfort of her bedroom or living room or couch or wherever w it works best for her.
If we find anything for you, Patty, we're gonna pass it on to you, okay?
Hang in there.
There's always hope.
There always is hope.
And you know what?
There are good people that listen to this program.
I'm hoping we'll we'll be able to come up with something for you.
Uh all right, let's say hi to John is in North Carolina.
John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, sir, how are you?
Thanks for watching.
I'm good.
What's going on?
Not much.
Just to try to drive a car and make a living.
Well, I'm glad you called.
Uh how many days a week are you driving your truck?
Um I usually stay out for two weeks.
I go home for four days.
Independent operator or you work for a company.
I work for a company.
By the way, trucking the last couple of months has been in a a bit of a recession in terms of rates have not been great.
Well, being a company driver, we can pay about a mile.
So our company's been busier more than ever.
So I'm I'm glad to hear that you because without truckers, uh, there's not a single store I would ever go to that would have anything in it, except that you guys bring it there.
So we owe you a lot.
Yeah, my company has contracts with all kinds of different things.
I'm at a shipper right now getting loaded with sheets of glass.
So that's awesome.
All right, just be careful.
There's crazy people out there driving.
I'm sure you see them every day.
I think I'd get aggravated.
How many hours are you allowed to drive straight before you have to take a break?
Eight hours.
Okay, and then you have to break for how many hours?
You gotta break for 30, and then you're able to drive about three more hours.
Wait a minute.
So you you can drive eight hours, then you have to break for 30 hours?
No, thirty minutes.
Oh, okay.
And then you could drive three more hours after that.
Okay.
And then you're done for that day.
Yes.
Okay.
And then you get up the next day, you drive your eight hours, you take your 30 minute lunch break, then boom, you get back out for three.
So you can drive eleven hours a day.
Yeah.
So you get about, you know, three thousand miles a week is a really good week.
Okay.
And you get paid by the mile.
And uh you're I'm listening I'm just glad you're doing well.
Um they give you any benefits or no.
Oh, yeah, I get two weeks paid vacation a year, you get monthly bonuses, so it's a great company.
Oh, that's awesome.
I'm really glad to hear it.
All right, what else is on your mind?
I'm just glad that you know we're staying busy in this economy with recession and prices the way they are.
Everything's costing more for my wife with the groceries, so it's great to keep having good checks every week, you know.
Listen, I've lately I've been talking to more people that appreciate the jobs that they have uh than ever before.
Because they see people that are struggling.
And if people are in a position where they're making ends meet, just right now, making ends meet is a win.
And uh I know a lot of people that are telling me, and I had conversations with friends over the weekend, and and they were all telling me the same thing.
They appreciate their jobs more than they ever did because they're able to keep a roof over their house, you know, even though they're taking a financial hit that they're not having to put money, they're not having to use their credit cards or tap into their retirement accounts.
Um, and everybody's grateful.
But those people that are struggling, you know, I feel sorry for every one of them.
It's not a fun position to be in.
I've been there, it sucks.
And uh anyway, you hang in there.
Thanks for all you do every day and drive carefully, right, bud?
Yes, sir.
Thank you so much.
Have a great day.
You too.
Uh let's see, another John, this one in Virginia.
John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey Sean, how you doing?
I'm good, my friend.
What's going on?
Two things.
First thing I want to bring up.
You uh you hear a lot, and uh that's people saying you should run for uh should be on the ballot, but and I'd vote for you, but with one stipulation that that is that Linda's got to be the press secretary.
That's that's uh you want me to run for what?
What do you want me to run for?
I I don't care.
As long as she gets to be the press secretary, we're good.
Okay.
If Linda would survive maybe 30 minutes as a press secretary.
That's total fake news.
The Bible real news I would survive.
They would not survive, and America would love every minute of it.
It would be the best TV ever.
They would they they would want to fire me from day one, and everyone I all day I'd be asked the question.
Finally, somebody who speaks the truth and talks like us and is had enough, you know.
I mean, honestly, once you're how many F-bombs will you drop in your first half hour?
There'll be a sign when you come in, and it'll say, Enter at your own risk.
This is not a safe space.
This is where we speak our mind, and you're allowed to curse back at me too.
Okay, there you go.
I tell you what, it'd be the best press secretary meetings you'd ever seen.
You're like, that press corps would get a shake up.
Oh, I bet they would.
They'd be all shaking up.
A lot of articles on you.
There's no doubt about it.
Uh John, if you knew her as well as I do, I'm telling you, she's not suited for that job.
I promise you, she's not.
She's very qualified for what she does.
Why don't you ask John if he would like that type of press secretary?
Would you like that type of press secretary, John?
And what do you think the media reaction would be to that type of press secretary?
Oh, the heads would explode, but it would be refreshing for someone not to it would be entertaining as hell.
There's no doubt about it.
It'd be like a nice lemon drink on a summer day.
You're welcome, America.
Remember when Scaramucci, he only made it up, what, eleven days when when he had a great first press conference, if you recall.
I do remember that actually.
All right, John, appreciate it, buddy.
Thank you.
