security athletes forcing the house tonight to cancel tomorrow's session. as i speak, lawmakers are pushing through a vote that was actually planned for tomorrow. a joint intelligence bulletin issued by the fbi and department of homeland security warning that violent extremists have discussed plans to take control of the u.s. capitol tomorrow and remove democratic lawmakers. this threat coming exactly eight weeks to the day from when trump supporters stormed the capitol because of a lie they were fed again and again and again and again by the former president. and today mike pence, the former vice president, perpetuated that lie, of all people, a lie that almost killed him on january 6th and resulted in five others dying that day. from a vice president breaking his silence since the daily insurrection, writing an op-ed opposing a house bill that overhauls election laws, but he began with this. after an election marked by significant voting irregularities, i show the concerns of millions of americans about the integrity of the 2020 election. this is absolutely crazy to hear that he would say he shares those concerns. he was the vice president of the united states and knows those concerns are unfounded. now he's fueling this lie. it is false. it is a lie. there were not significant voting irregularities and anyone who knows anything about this, who has investigated, who has put time and money into a full investigation has said exactly what trump's appointed fbi director said just yesterday. >> we are not aware of any widespread evidence of voter fraud, much less that would have affected the outcome in the presidential election. >> much less that would have affected the outcome. and remember what trump's attorney general bill barr told the associated press? quote, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election. this is a simple thing, snok they investigated it and they then spoke the truth. there was no widespread fraud. it simply did not happen. so why is mike pence, who knows this full well -- you can't even get him into this la la neverland like some people might say about trump. why is pence fueling this lie even now? he of all people knows firsthand the danger of spreading lies about the election because he was there on january 6th in the capitol at the same time trump was, you know, throwing him to the wolves and setting him up as a fall guy for not objecting to the elections results. >> mike pence -- >> i will tell you right now, i'm not hearing good stories. >> not hearing good stories. many in that crowd heard trump loud and clear and made their way to the capitol looking for one man. >> hang mike pence! hang mike pence! >> hang mike pence, bring out pence. as the crowd came within 100 feet of pence according to house impeachment managers. you can see him heading for safety quickly escorted down the stairs along with his family. former pence aides were furious that trump never checked in on his vice president, never once during the day. instead he pointed the finger at pence, continuing to tweet at the height of the insurrection, quote, mike pence didn't have the courage to do what should've been done to protect our country and our constitution. usa demands the truth. of course we got the truth. we got a true outcome and a fair election. it was not fraudulent or inaccurate. the truth is this. trump's lie put pence's life in peril, yet pence right now has broken his silence to push the same dangerous lie. perhaps it is because pence has decided his best personal career shot at this point is to kowtow to the people who said this about him. >> mike pence is a [ bleep ] traitor. >> hmm. well, if you can't beat them, join them? certainly not what someone who has his eye on 2024 wants to hear from the base that he needs to vote for him. so pence is back on the wagon, the wagon of the lie. manu raju is live on capitol hill. these threats to lawmakers leading to this extremely rare cancellation of tomorrow's session, tell me what you know. >> yeah, very rare that house members would take this step as democratic leadership did not want to take any chances and moved up a scheduled vote for tomorrow, having that tonight so members could get out of town. but this comes despite the senate taking a different course of action. the senate also controlled by democrats will be in session tomorrow. the number two democrat, dick durbin, said there's an apparent contradiction in his word between how the house democratic leaders and the senate democratic leaders are reviewing this intelligence. one top democrat at the senate intelligence committee chairman mark warner suggested it is a bit of a overabundance of caution that the house democrats are taking because the intelligence is mostly internet chatter in his view. certainly concerns to be had about what people are saying about the threat to the capitol, but as we know now, major demonstrations like we saw on january 6th, also on january 6th second guessing of mike pence and his role in certifying the election that day, second guessing from some trump allies. i talked to one just moments ago, louie gohmert a staunch trump ally and conservative. he said essentially that perhaps that mike pence was having second thoughts about his decision and essentially having some concerns that mike pence suggested that the election was not -- there was no integrity behind the election because he didn't align himself with the trump allies during the january 6th session when he actually certified the electoral results. i asked this trump ally, louie gohmert, whether or not he believes joe biden was legitimately elected, he would not say that. it goes to show how mike pence is aligning himself within the forces of the party with unproven lies that the election was somehow stolen from him. >> thank you very much, manu. i want to go republican city commissioner for philadelphia, al schmidt, one of the rare lawmakers who stood up. i appreciate both of you very much. i know our viewers are familiar with you both and you're talking so honestly on these issues. al, you were attacked by the former president for defending the integrity of the election. it led to a surge in threats against you and your family, even from people you know really well, people near and dear to you. urnls you did not back down. you hear pence standing by the lies, officials setting aside state election law. i share concerns about the integrity of the 2020 election. not calling it out, stacnding b the lie. what's your reaction to this? >> it's troubling if the republican party continues to travel down this road. you have the op-ed and legislation in pennsylvania and other states around the country that is little more than voter suppression masquerading as election reform intending to allegedly address problems that never actually occurred to begin with. >> so ben, you know, the point of this op-ed that pence put out was to, as i said, register his opposition to a bill that would do election reform. but that's not what he began -- it was obviously purposefully done. after an election marked by significant voting irregularities. that's how he started it, raising doubts about the integrity of the presidential election. he knows this to be false. he knows this to be a lie. why is he doing it, do you think? >> well, there are politics afoot in the republican party these days. what mike pence certainly does know is that all the charges of irregularities were actually litigated. there were 60 cases brought after the election. the trump forces won zero of them. and so there actually is a record. and part of the fabric of the country is that you have every right to bring charges of irregularities in court. you get to litigate them, but if you lose, then there's an obligation under the compact of the united states of america to accept the results. that's why this is such a disappointing op-ed. >> incredibly disappointing. and al, it seems to show, given that pence knows it's a lie, given that he stayed silent after all of this, given that these people wanted to hang him and called him an effing traitor and he knows it was a lie, why do you think he's doing this? is this now litmus test if he's going to stay in the gop and have any kind of future, he believes he has to just, you know, get back in line? >> you know, i don't know his mind, but i would think that he would at least know the truth. and that's what makes it all the more disturbing is that you could be basically just trying to placate or tell people what they want to hear. as all this legislation purports to -- all this legislation purports to be concerned about, you know, restoring confidence in the electoral process. the biggest thing that any of these people could do to restore confidence in the electoral process is stop lying to voters about the integrity of the 2020 general election. >> and so, ben, pence goes on to say the american people must have utmost confidence that every voice matters and every vote counts or democracy cannot survive. truer words cannot be spoken. i think that's why it's just so disturbing that he cloaks it in the big lie. but yet, the bthey're going to stale back weekend voting in georgia, limit mail-in voting in arizona. those are a couple examples. do these types of efforts send a message that every vote counts? >> well, the bills in the states are sort of born of the republican party fear that if everybody gets to vote, a lot of the new voters are not going to back republicans. that is the worst reason possible in a democracy to propose legislative bills to restrict the right to vote, to take away the convenience of the voter. so that's all pretty disappointing. and there's no parent ir-- apparent irony, it's bad bill. but in not saying something about those bills in the states that absolutely do restrict the right to vote and people's ability to vote. >> thank you both very much. i appreciate your time. ben and al, thank you both as always. a top texas lawmakers defending the state's reckless reopening and slamming the biden administration. >> the government needs to quit making arbitrary rules. >> dr. fauci responds live next. plus, breaking news. former white house position turned congressman ronny jackson responding to the jaw-dropping accusations that he was drinking and making sexual comments on the job among other things. and shocking testimony from the head of the d.c. national guard. why he says it took three hours to get the okay to send in troops the day of the insurrections. kills plaque bacteria at the gum line to help keep the gum seal tight. new parodontax active gum repair toothpaste. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ woman: i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months after just 2 doses. skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. ♪ nothing is everything ♪ woman: now is the time to ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. introducing fidelity income planning. we look at what you've saved, what you'll need, and help you build a flexible plan for cash flow that lasts, even when you're not working, so you can go from saving... to living. ♪ let's go ♪ ♪ (car horn) ♪ turn today's dreams into tomorrow's trips... with millions of flexible booking options. all in one place. expedia. some people say our trade-in process feels too easy. they can't believe it's 100% online and gives them a competitive offer that won't change for 7 days. an offer that they can put toward their new car. some people can't believe our friendly advocate will come to them as soon as tomorrow. drop off their new ride and whisk their old one away. because we make trading your car unbelievably easy. all so you can say... told you so. experience the new way to trade in your car with carvana. tonight president joe biden calling out the governors of texas and mississippi for lifting coronavirus restrictions in their states. >> i think it's a big mistake. the last thing we need is athe thinking of take off your mask. it still matters. >> dr. anthony fauci, chief medical adviser to president joe biden. he calls it bad thinking and why do you think the governors are lifting these restrictions right now? >> you know, erin, i don't know why they're doing it, but it's certainly from a public health standpoint ill advised. the curves of the diminution of infections that are going down, it's reached the point where the last seven days it's plateaued. we've been to the scene before months and months ago when we tried to open up the country and the economy when certain states did not abide by the guidelines we had rebounds which were very troublesome. what we don't need right now is another surge. so just pulling back on all of the public health guidelines that we know work -- we know it works. it's inexplicable why you would want to pull back now. i understand the need to want to get back to normality, but you're only going to set yourself back if you just completely push aside the public health guidelines, particularly when we're dealing with anywhere from 55,000 to 75,000 infections per day in the united states. that's a very, very high baseline. >> as you point out, it's come down but now plateauing. that plateau could go back up. senator john cornyn of texas was asked about biden's comments, you know, sahe should he should not be preaching to my state about how to handle the virus. and then the senator went on to say this. >> at some point the government needs to quit making arbitrary rules that do not have any demonstrable connection with the public health. >> what do you say to that? he says you're making arbitrary rules that do not have any demonstrable connection with public health. >> >> well, first of all, they're not arbitrary. they're based on evidence and data from science. we know that these interventions work. it's very clear. when you implement them, you see the cases go down. when you pull back, the cases go up. what you want to do is get down to a low enough baseline so that when you do pull back on the public health measures, that you won't have a surge because when you have a level of virus that's low enough as you get these little blips, you can contain them. in addition, we have every single day that goes by, every week we get more and more people vaccinated. so now is not the time to pull back. now's the time to really crush this by doing both public health measures and accelerating the vaccinations like we're doing. so that's the reason why i said a moment ago that it's ill advised. it's not arbitrary. it's not empiric and it's based on scientific data. >> in some parts of this country people are listening to you. in florida governor ron desantis long opposed mask mandates, school closures. what's interesting about florida, and i want you to talk about this, florida ranks 27th in the nation from per capita deaths from the virus. new york, michigan, massachusetts all have higher death rates. do you think it's possible when you look back on this that it may be that desantis did some things right? >> well, i'm sure he did. i don't think it would be fair to say that the governor of florida did everything wrong, not at all. there were certain things that were done that i disagreed with and that it wasn't just me personally. it's my publicly person who looked at it. but i think it would be unfair to say that he did everything wrong. >> are there some things when you look at florida that you think that he did get right? >> well, you know, erin, we had often talks on a weekly basis during the last administration with the mayors of miami and dade county. some of the things down don by the people at the local level really actually did work. they were very careful and tried very hard. >> so let me ask you about president trump. he found out he got the vaccine at the white house back in january. you remember at least publicly at that time there was this whole conversation that he needs to get it, he needs to get it, he could send this message to a very vaccine-resistant republican bakse. but were you aware he got the vaccine at the time, dr. fauci? >> no, erin, i was not aware that he was vaccinated. >> when you think about that, obviously i know you weren't talking all the time, but you were the public face of talking about this. how big of an opportunity did he miss to convince a certain too group of the population who, by the way, are still some of the most vaccine resistant people, hesitant people, i should say, he could have made a big difference for those people if he had talked about this, couldn't he? >> certainly. there's no doubt in anyone's mind that former president trump is very, very popular among his constituencies who number in the tens of millions of people. that would have been an extraordinarily good opportunity to get a signal to the people who would clearly have listened to him the way they listen to him in many other ways. he has a great deal of influence. it was unfortunately a lost opportunity because he could have gotten a lot of people who are hesitant about getting vaccinated, vaccinated. i'm sorry he didn't do that. >> i guess on one level i'm not surprised that you didn't know, but i'm stunned on a certain level. it says a lot about how he was handling things at that time. i want to ask you about something else that a lot of people are asking about, and this is the vaccine dosage. the former surgeon general, dr. jerome adams, is questioning the biden administration's guidance that people need to get both doses for the moderna and pfizer biontech vaccines. he tweeted -- i'm quoting exactly -- good protection for many with one shot is better than great protection for a few. 2,000 people a day are dying because they can't get a first covid-19 shot, not because they can't get a second. and then he included a link to "the washington post" article that quoted you saying the u.s. should stick with the two-dose regimen. that is what has been scientifically tested. were you surprised by this tweet from dr. adams, that he took this stand and that links he links to an article where you're saying to go with the science on this? >> well, first of all, i love jerome adams. he's really a terrific guy. we worked so well together during the trump administration. i think he's incorrect on this and i wish that i would get the opportunity and i probably will after this to discuss with him why i think he's incorrect in that. one of the things he's not putting into the mix, erin, is the issuance of the variants going around. when you look at a single dose that gives with pfizer, for example, a 52% efficacy, the level of antibodies are at just about the level to give that degree of protection. if you look at the level of antibodies after the second dose, it's ten times higher. so when you're dealing with variants that diminish somewhat, sometimes five-fold, the efficacy of those vaccine-induced antibodies, you may bring it down to here, still well within the range of protection because you have a lot of cushion, whereas if you stick with the one dose, a, you don't know how durable it is, whether it's going to just go off and further down within a period of a month or so. but importantly, you're at a very tenuous level, good enough to do protection, but if you diminish it by five-fold, you fall off the chart of protection. so it's really quite risky when you're trying to deal with variants that we know are out there. there's no doubt there are a number of variants, the 117 will be dominant in this country probably by the end of march. california has a variant 427429. new york has a variant 526. that's the thing you got to be careful on. it's a risky proposition. so that's the reason why i would be happy to discuss that with him. he's a very smart guy and a really good guy. i'd like to discuss that with him. >> i hope you get a chance to and i hope everyone heard you lay that out. a lot of people are making that one-shot argument. that was clearly laid out about the efficacy, especially vis-a-vis the variants. i want to ask you a question about dolly parton. she's 75 and waited in line since december to get her shot. last year she got acclaim because she donated money to covid-19 research used to fund the vaccine development. i want to play the video she just posted. >> i've been waiting a while. i'm old enough to get it and smart enough to get it. so i'm happy i'm going to get my moderna shot today. i wanted to tell everybody that you should get out there and do it too. i even changed one of my songs to fit the occasion. ♪ vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine ♪ ♪ i'm begging of you please don't hesitate ♪ vaccine vaccine vaccine ♪ ♪ because once you're dead then that's a bit too late ♪ >> a play on her song "jolene." what do you think when you see that? >> you know, you got to love dolly parton. she's giving a good message about people getting vaccinated. that's just terrific. that's what we need. we need people who are respected and admired, entertainers, celebrities, people who got out there that the community relates to them to get the message to get vaccinated. it's really very important. that's going to be the solution to the problem. that's going to be the thing that's going to get us back to normal together with implementation of public health measures. >> dr. fauci, as always, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> good to be with you, erin. thank you for having me. >> okay. next, the breaking news. former white house doctor turned congressman ronny jackson speaking about the allegations that he was drinking, making sexual comments on his job. so what does heavy to say for himself. ahead of the d.c. national guard testifying he had troops ready to respond to the insurrection. then what happened?

"outfront" now, john avalon, our senior political analyst. he says it's three or four or four or five, but you get the point, people that are disgruntled. obviously the report was quite detailed. 78 people were sources for this report. so he's now a sitting congressman. drank alcohol on presidential trips where he was charged with caring for government officials. one time he gets so intoxicated allegedly he's going to wake up president obama. how troubling is it? >> very because, of course, a presidential physician on a trip has direct responsibility for the president's health. the idea that this is a political hit job, the department of defense doesn't do that. one of the bizarre things about this particular incident is that he got high marks from president obama, from president trump, indeed entirely nonpartisan during the obama years and very professional. yet we see from this report that out of the 70 plus people they interviewed, only 13 had positive things to say about him. after his failed nomination to the veterans affairs department he works embraced the obama gate conspiracy theory baselessly, but it seemed so out of character. the picture we're learning is that the allegations seem to be true and that it's a political hit job is incredible. >> it's incredibly detailed, all those things you lay out. you know, he's one of the house republicans who objected to the electoral victory of joe biden. he echoed trump's campaign that obama spied on the campaign. as you point out, he's become one of trump's most ardent supporters, ardent supporters. what do you make of this? it's an incredible transformation. >> that's it. look, partly i think it reflects the district he recipients in texas. backing up donald trump to the hilt is going to be very popular. but this seems personal as well. and, look, any recourse is going to come from the pentagon. it's not going to come from his colleagues in the republican party. we're way past that. they're willing to coddle conspiracy theorists. they're not going to blink at this. >> and yet top republicans are silent on this report. liz cheney who has been very brave and courageous in standing up to trump wasn't answering questions on this today. either avoiding it orren decided on what to do. do republicans need to address this behavior or does this get brushed turned rug and we move right along? >> this is going to be table stakes for republicans. there's not going to be any accountability. >> that is unfortunately, i guess you're here to speak the truth such that it is. john avalon, thank you. >> thanks, erin. next, three hours, 19 minutes. that is exactly how long it took the national guard to respond to the insurrection, and tonight we know why it took so incredibly long. new york's governor making his first appearance in over week. he's apologizing for making women uncomfortable, but there are a lot of ifs. all your prescriptions all on the same day... we make filling your medicare prescriptions... ...go like clockwork. so you can get back to what you'd rather be doing! ♪ as a retired weatherman, i like things i can predict. that's why i chose an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. it's the kind of plan with predictable out-of-pocket costs. plus the plan i chose has a low to zero percent chance of copays. it's a sunny day for me. -honey you're doing it again. -i'll stop. the only medicare supplement plans with the aarp name. medicare supplement plans have no networks and no referrals so you can take charge. among my patients i often see them have no networks and no referrals have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me?

>> that is correct, senator. >> walker says he could have had 154 troops within 20 minutes to the capitol, but it wasn't his call. >> the word that i was -- i kept hearing was the optics of it, and there was concern that it could inflame the protesters. >> reporter: acting secretary of defense for homeland security said the acting secretary of defense wanted final authority because of the sensitivity of deploying u.s. troops against a civil disturbs involving american citizens. >> there is no ability for the military to respond without the secretary's approval for civil disturbance operations. >> reporter: the pentagon offered more guardsmen multiple times before january 6th, but capitol police and d.c. officials repeatedly said no. without a formal request for help, military officials couldn't plan for a specific mission until the riot was already unfolding. at 3:00 p.m., about 90 minutes after the evacuation of the capitol, acting defense secretary miller approved the call-up of the full national guard. within an hour of the call with walker and city officials, he moved available guardsmen from the armory to the capitol later. mark milley insist ed the pentagon responded with sprint speed to the request for help according to "the washington post." they reacted faster than our most elite forces from a cold start, he said. it's an argument senators weren't buying. >> and so you could have had them there earlier, hours earlier if it had been approved. >> reporter: as security at the capitol broke down, so too did communication. acting secretary of defense chris miller approved the national guard to help secure the captain at 4:32. general walker said he didn't find out about that approval for more than 30 minutes. senator rob portman wants to hear from both the former acting secretary of defense and the former army secretary to get their take on what happened in their decision-making process. and the time line that have day, that was certainly a sentiment shared by many senators in that hearing. there are two competing narratives about the dod, the pentagon, and the d.c. national guard. critically, those competing narratives are emerging from the pentagon and from the d.c. national guard. and that has confused the entire process of trying to figure out what went wrong on january 6th in the response. >> still such an amazing amount of time to go by. thank you very much. next, he says he's sorry, but did new york's governor go far enough to stop the growing calls for his resignation after being accused of making unwanted advances to multiple women. mexico didn't pay for trump's wall and didn't pay for the statue at cpac. so who did?

"outfront" now, jessie who broke the news on cuomo's second and third accusers. he's "the new york times" albany burro chief. jessie, the governor went out of public view for a week, which i emphasize is completely uncharacteristic for him and came out today with very little warning and said what we heard there attempting to contain the fallout and stop the calls for impeachment and resignation. was it enough? >> well, i think the tone that he struck today was as far as you'll ever see andrew cuomo apologize and it felt heart felt to me. i think he is in a position right now where the consequences of his action are beginning to dawn on him a little bit. he said the word apologize at least seven or eight times. he was extensive in that regard. the thing i was left with, as well, there are still unanalyzed questions. there is still a lot of details in this story that have nod been e -- knotnot been addressed and s to questions down the road. >> charlotte bennett's case, she did immediately report it to the chief of counsel. what do you think about him showing genuine? he was emotional. very expressed regret. he looked embarrassed, clearly. but some of what he said was reminiscent of his statement from sunday, he was sorry if people felt in ways he didn't in intend. here he is today. >> if they were offended by it, then it was wrong. and if they were offended by it, i apologize. i didn't mean it that way, but if that's how they felt, that's all that matters, and i apologize. >> now, obviously, was a keyword there, you reported just last night that he's been losing allies in a growing number of state lawmakers are calling for him to resign. obviously, this would be a seismic shift for the democratic party. so, what are you hearing now in reaction to, you know, the full press conference today? >> well, a couple more lawmakers before the press conference began basically signalled they wanted a resignation. since the speech today, there has been no additional calls for that but i think in part, that's because people are processing it and taking the temperature of their constituents, as well as the general public. so i think the next couple of days will be critical for governor ycuomo. i think if it seems as though the damage stopped, if no more allegations come out perhaps he can start to turn the corner on this, and wait for the attorney general's report to see whether or not that is damming or, you know, positive for him. but i think the next 48 hours will be critical. >> all right. jessie, thank you very much. we'll talk to you again. >> certainly. next, call it the unamerican idol. this infamous fiberglass statute of trump at cpac, wait until you hear, you know, it's prove nance. and buying a car 100% on. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds. when you're ready, we'll come to you, pay you on the spot and pick up your car, that's it. so ditch the old way of selling your car, and say hello to the new way at carvana. i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with... just 2 medicines... in 1 pill,... dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato—i did. want to save hundreds on your wireless bill?
