I get the biggest crowds by far, not even a contest. You people do not like to report it but one thing good about protesters is that you have to go into the stadiums with 25 and 30,000 people in the cameras never turn, hey ben, the cameras never turn it show the stadium. I want to say turn. But when a protester is a moot corner that make cameras turn. Then it is a negative as opposed to a positive so they turn. We have had a couple who were really violent in a particular one when we set i would like to bang him. That was a very is a guy who was swinging, very loud loud and started swinging at the audience. Audience. The audienc
