The only, the only reason why I mentioned what I did was I about Jared, was that I totally disagreed with what he did on Tina Peters. And my friend Phil has been telling Democrats for 18 months that I was going to appoint Jared Polis to the U.S. Senate. All right. Fair enough. That's not true. Have you decided already? I absolutely have not. I have not had a conversation about it in Colorado. All right. (02:44)
