Will have time for a few questions. If you come up with a question, please raise your hand. I will kick it to bill. Thanks. The American People did not need the darkness boat dystopian vision for our country on display last night at the Republican National convention. We are living through the reality because of Donald Trumps failures as president. We learned a lot about how Council Culture will ruin your life but little about how Donald Trumps mismanagement of the covid19 crisis might ended as it tragically has for most 180,000 americans. We heard about a great economy donald trump inherited but not a morsel of regret for how Donald Trumps failed leadership has squandered it started before covid hit.
