Thank you so much. You know, I am offended by how The story is being covered about vetting the National Guard and my dad was a New Jersey National Guard he served proudly in World War two was called up was a POW. And they pay presentation of this vetting as being something new. Is disingenuous. And I'm offended by that. I checked with the general from the National Guard last night because I was saying I've been in those security bubbles before they vet everybody. Okay, so vetting someone who's going to be that close to the president. United States is a common practice by the Secret Service, and I think it's disingenuous by media. To be covering it as if it's something new. Yeah, but I'll go back to what Greg Abbott said in Texas last night that you know he is offended that they're checking out these National Guardsmen and I'm not saying I agree. But at the same time check vetting them when they are pledged. They take the oath of office. If you will to protect and defend this country, which I believe goes further into the Into this mix, then the Democrats are are allowing. I have no problem with the vetting. I have a problem with singling out the National Guard as somehow needing more, and that's what I'm offended by. Let's go to the phones and talk to Jo in L A. J. Hey, Joe, how you doing?
