This begins with that very difficult and somewhat controversial decision to move forward without the candidates that Kevin Mccarthy wanted on that committee, and the work that they did, maybe the foundation of where we are today. Im really eager to hear how she did it and how she made it work so well. Gonna be a great show. Thanks, alex.
