The Congressional Budget Office. Brian submitted that question. The Congressional Budget Office has been consistently wrong on a whole bunch of stuff. Let me give you one example. With the Inflation Reduction act, which was actually the green fantasy bill to build more wind and solar, the Congressional Budget Office measured that at about 250, $300 billion, something like that. It was less than a half a trillion dollars. Well, it turns out now they've revised it a couple years later and it's going to be over a trillion dollars that are going to be paid in subsidies to these rich wind and solar developers. And so the CBO does not have a strong track record in regards to that. I would just say to Brian, I don't accept the present premise of the question that you put there. (29:28–29:56)
