That is true. Thank you. I, for the life of me, cannot understand even what you're talking about, Phil. Of course I read 2020, Project 2025. But In the first Trump administration, we had January 6th. We had the taking away of Roe versus Wade, we had the Muslim ban, we had the separation of children from their Parents at the border. What memo did you need to protect the children at the border that were being separated from their parents? That's the question that I would ask of our attorney general. (34:53–35:05)
