Bringing them. Again we can fact check this all night. Were here to do this. Its just amazing though that after three and a half hours earlier laying out everything that happened. Look being at what went forward. These these actually Going Forward are not what is happening here.

And so today, the only question that we are left with when we conclude this hearing is whether or not as we move i
