Thank you, my friend, lawrence. Thank you, i appreciate it. Thank you, rachel. Well, saturday was Christmas Tree day for many of us around the country. I bought one at the place weve been buying our Christmas Trees for most of the last 20 years. We decorated the tree, just like Jocelyn Benson and her 4yearold son did on saturday. But we didnt have anyone standing outside with guns, like the people who gathered outside michigan secretary of state Jocelyn Bensons home in the dark on saturday after donald trump had given an hour and 40minute rant in georgia, centered on the lie that democrats stole the election from donald trump. And the people with trump merch and guns outside Jocelyn Bensons home were very scary looking as they chanted stop the steal. But in the end, they simply stopped chanting and went

It is hard to wake up and your whole foundation is shaking because you are living off one person. We are going through the second pay period that we wont be getting paid for.

Its remarkable that it has not happened before now. Chris,
