Although Javier Becerra is already disputing that. Or i can sit or stand at this point, i count at least 95 cameras. Wouldnt you say 95 cameras are so here today. Thats my interpretation. If i said, it must be true. Thank you for being here.

Hhs and purposes encompasses medicare and medicaid. Disease control and prevention, the National Institutes of whole, the federal Drug Administration and many others. This is no exag

This is our debut, our inauguration in many respects. I want to say what a massive crowd of the press we have here today. It is enormous, it is probably in all likelihood i think the largest on record, although Javier Becerra is already disputing that, he says he has pictures. Where i sit, or stand at this point, i count at least 95 cameras, wouldnt you say, 95 cameras or so . Thats my interpretation. If i say it, it must be true. Thank you all very much for being here.
