Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / They're All Bad Candidates, Right?
Transcript
- 0:00The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews you need to start your day.
- 0:06You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show. Wednesday morning, tenth to
- 0:10day of July. I'm Wes, Thanks for joining me. We'll talk a
- 0:16little bit about where things are and where things have been in the last several
- 0:25elections when it concerns candidates for president. And I think we've all been guilty
- 0:33of what I'm about to say in some way shape form. I think that
- 0:38it's there. I think it's just kind of easy to fall into this mindset.
- 0:46And I'm not saying that it's not valid to some degree, but I
- 0:50think it's worth discussing. At the very least. We're at a specific point
- 0:55in time right now, as we're in this stretch of Trump is, you
- 1:00know, getting ready to at the convention next week, except the nomination he'll
- 1:06name is a VP pick and all that stuff, and then we have a
- 1:10month that'll pass and then we find out whatever is going to happen with the
- 1:15Democratic ticket. We know that the president says he's not going anywhere. We
- 1:23know that his wife is doing a lot of campaigning for them. There's a
- 1:26few others that are doing it too. And I didn't mention it yesterday,
- 1:30but you know, a couple of days ago, the First Lady was in
- 1:34Columbus briefly at the airport, doing a quick campaign stop, popping around to
- 1:38a few places. It was interesting that they did a stop in Florida.
- 1:42I think for the most part, I appreciate that they're doing it, and
- 1:45I think it's interesting that, you know, we've heard some folks say,
- 1:49wasn't it bold that Trump stopped and you know, went to you know,
- 1:55Pennsylvania and he went to well, Pennsylvania is still a battleground, but its
- 2:00Philadelphia, I guess, is where he was. And they said, I
- 2:01can't believe he went there. And he went into uh, you know,
- 2:06the Bronx and did a campaign a visit and and or a stop, you
- 2:12know, and people said, oh my gosh, he's uh, you know,
- 2:15bold of him to do that where you know, Democrats are going,
- 2:19what is he doing? What a chump? He can't win in those cities?
- 2:22What is he doing? Uh? Or in those areas specific? So
- 2:25then you got, uh, you know, the Biden campaign has basically said
- 2:30they're not going to win Florida. They know they're not going to win Florida.
- 2:35Florida has uh, you know, once upon a time that was a
- 2:38purple state and it's now very solidly read. Uh, there's not an expectation
- 2:45of them winning Florida, and then for them to go in and campaign.
- 2:47First of all, I thought it was dumb for Trump to to go into
- 2:52areas he's not going to win, so why But at the same time,
- 2:55you know some are going, oh, it's bold, they need to go
- 2:58down there, and I tend to agree with that. I think you should
- 3:00go to places even when you don't think you're gonna win. I know that
- 3:02there's only a certain amount of time that you have to campaign, but the
- 3:07idea that the job is, you know, you're running for president of the
- 3:13United States. You're not running for president of blue states or for red states.
- 3:17The difference is Trump went to the places. He didn't send his wife
- 3:24to do it. And I'm not discounting sending out surrogates on your behalf.
- 3:30That's part of this whole process. Trump has a number of people that are
- 3:34certainly jocking for that VP gig, that are out for him. But anyway,
- 3:38so this whole concept of Biden horrible, of debate horrible, set of
- 3:49interviews. He's been horrible for a while. This silly notion that all of
- 3:53a sudden, now he's a bad candidate is absurd. We know that anybody
- 4:00who's been paying attention, anybody who was paying attention during the previous election four
- 4:05years ago, he wasn't battle tested. I mean he had been battle tested
- 4:10in a different life. He wasn't battle tested. He wasn't asked to go
- 4:15out and campaign, he wasn't asked to debate, he wasn't asked to do
- 4:19not the normal debate cycle, I should say, because it's just like there
- 4:23was no real anything this time. There's no primaries this time, so he's
- 4:28missed out on a lot of normally what happens when you're running for office.
- 4:30Now, I understand he is an incumbent president. He should be the nominee
- 4:35by all accounts, if he's in fact capable of doing the job. I
- 4:40still maintain I don't think that some Republicans, some more conservative news media,
- 4:47they're not doing themselves any favor by trying to push Biden out of the way,
- 4:50because I do think Trump has a very distinct advantage if it remains Biden.
- 4:57I don't necessarily think Harris is a great candidate. It would almost certainly
- 5:00have to be her if Biden steps aside, but all that to be determined.
- 5:06What I want to point out, though, is that we have now
- 5:12again, and this is where we're getting back to what I was talking about
- 5:15that I've been guilty of. I didn't think that the Clinton Trump election year.
- 5:26I felt like there was a strong part of me that's like, this
- 5:30is the best we can do. This is the best we can put forward
- 5:33as far as candidates. I didn't have high expectations for Trump to be honest,
- 5:40you know, and I've talked about this many times. I was never
- 5:43a never Trumper. That wasn't me, But I was certainly skeptical about what
- 5:50he was going to do when he got into office. And ultimately what he
- 5:55did was, you know, everything he said he was going to do.
- 5:58For the most part, it was like in the first you know, one
- 6:00hundred days, it was like, how many of these things can we get
- 6:02done? And get done right away? Because this is what I got elected
- 6:08to do. Did the wall get finished? Know? Was that his fault?
- 6:13You know? Some people said he could have done more. I don't
- 6:15know. I don't know all of that I just know that there were a
- 6:17lot of very positive things that he did right out of the gate, that
- 6:20he promised and I didn't know as a candidate if that's what he was going
- 6:24to do. I don't care for Hillary Clinton. And it's not because Hillary's
- 6:30a woman. It's not because I don't know a number of reasons that people
- 6:34would just jump in and say, oh, well, you're just saying it.
- 6:36Because my issues with Hillary Clinton go more into I mean, I think
- 6:42we needed to have certain questions answered about her marriage, about her role and
- 6:51you know, in the Clinton machine, what her role was discounting some of
- 6:58the accusers of her husband. I think those were questions that should have been
- 7:00asked. Was she wanted And by all accounts, the stories are she was
- 7:05sort of the one that went after the women that accused him. So I
- 7:11think that's a bad candidate for women. I think that's a bad look period.
- 7:18I understand she went from first lady to let's check some boxes that make
- 7:25me seem to be a more qualified candidate, and just didn't buy into it.
- 7:29Just like the vice president. I don't buy into her as a candidate,
- 7:31not for qualifications. Now, you don't have to be quote unquote qualified.
- 7:38There's not a list of things you have to do. Donald Trump's a
- 7:41businessman before he got in there. And you go back to the early days,
- 7:46you know, the original the founders that became presidents. You know,
- 7:48they were some of them soldiers, some of them lawyers. It wasn't like
- 7:54they walked in and were like, hey, I have a long history of
- 7:57being president. That's not you know, the qualify vacations were never specifically laid
- 8:03out other than you got to be thirty five plus, you got to be
- 8:05born here. Other than that, yeah, that's about it. You gotta
- 8:11be a citizen, a citizen at birth. That's probably the better way to
- 8:15say it, because a lot of people confuse that. They think, oh,
- 8:18if somebody was born, you know, to Americans in another country,
- 8:22that makes them not they weren't born here, And that's not the way that
- 8:24works. But anyway, it's why the whole birth certificate thing about Obama was
- 8:28really dumb. He had citizenship just by having an American mother. That was
- 8:33it didn't matter, you know the people that was he really born in Hawaii
- 8:35or not, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter. His mom was an American,
- 8:41that made him an American that was over. Discussion was finished at that
- 8:43point. But anyway, we went through all that with Ted Cruz too.
- 8:48So but I think that, you know, if you look into Kamala Harris's
- 8:52past, you look into how she got some of the jobs that she had
- 8:58early on, and I know you're not supposed to point these things out,
- 9:01but I think these are things that should be questioned at the very least if
- 9:03she were the candidate. So I looked at the Trump and Clinton race and
- 9:13I said, this is the best we can do. This is really the
- 9:16best we can do. And I have said in the past, you know,
- 9:18we we of our last five presidents, counting the one in there now,
- 9:28sixty percent of them at best have someone who has accused them of some
- 9:35sort of inappropriate sexual advance or contact. At best, at worst, you
- 9:43know, raped five or six people, right. I mean, that's what
- 9:48we're looking at for sixty percent of our last five presidents. Obama and Bush
- 9:56the two that you know, I don't know of any accusers for either one
- 9:58of them, but the other three they've had, you know, some sort
- 10:01of accusation. They've had some you know, an accusation of rape, an
- 10:05accusation of multiple rapes, an accusation of inappropriate conduct or contact, or you
- 10:13know, that's sixty percent three of the last five. And I look at
- 10:20that and you just kind of go, this is not a good place for
- 10:24us to be in. It's not it's not where we want to be.
- 10:26And by the way, two of those three, you know, currently the
- 10:31two likely candidates right now, and they were last time. I'm not saying
- 10:37that the accusations are true. I'm not saying we don't know. We don't
- 10:43know. Biden's main accusation against him, you know, sealed records on that
- 10:50one, and he was asked a number of times would you unseal those so
- 10:52we can see exactly what it was. Ah, those are sealed. Somebody
- 10:56decided to seal those, so you can't really dive into that. Trump's We've
- 11:01heard about Trump's, you hear about those, You hear about those as much
- 11:05as you could possibly hear about them. And then they, you know,
- 11:07have hearings so that they can bring porn stars up to make extra vague,
- 11:13quasi accusations about him. But anyway, with that said, right now,
- 11:18this is the condition that we're in with this and last election, I thought
- 11:24you know, I would have been certainly happy to keep Trump in for four
- 11:30more years so he could keep doing what he was doing for our economy and
- 11:35an opportunity to improve things post COVID. We didn't get that. So here
- 11:39we are, and people are doing the same like, oh, these are
- 11:41the same two candidates. Here we go again, and right now. That
- 11:46has started to really fill the echo chamber, right because we're in a position
- 11:52where you have people that don't like Trump and they're realizing that it can be
- 12:00Biden. So what are they doing. They're venting their frustration with everything by
- 12:05saying, really, this is the best we can do. These two candidates.
- 12:09It's two old guys. They're very different old guys, by the way,
- 12:13one of them really struggling. The other one seems exactly the same he
- 12:18was as he was in twenty sixteen, no changes in you know a little
- 12:24bit in the appearance. But in eight years he's still the same, just
- 12:28as sharp as he was, He's you know, all the things. You
- 12:31may hate him. But as far as saying that they're just two old guys,
- 12:37they're different. They're different old guys. It's not the same kind of
- 12:41old Okay, let's just be honest about that. And if you're not happy
- 12:45with who your option is on the left, that's the problem. You can
- 12:52say, well, how do we get stuck with these two? That's what
- 12:54people say when they don't like, they really don't like the one that they
- 12:56know they probably should vote for. So what constitutes a bad candidate. There's
- 13:03a few things that could constitute a bad candidate. But I'd like to make
- 13:07this point because every single potential Republican nominee that I can remember, I guess
- 13:16you'd have to go back, maybe and I wasn't paying as much attention to
- 13:20it. Maybe not since you know eight, that was probably the first election
- 13:26where I was really zeroed in on the things that were being said. But
- 13:31going back to two thousand and eight, think about the candidates that were running
- 13:35for president then and what was said about them. Mike Huckabee was just too
- 13:39religious, Just a religious guy. Can't be Mike Huckabee. He's dangerous because
- 13:45he's so religious. John McCain he's not. Oh, he can't go with
- 13:50that guy. He's terrible, and you know he gets the nomination. They
- 13:52said all sorts of things about McCain and how he couldn't be trusted, and
- 13:56he wasn't the guy. Now when he passed away and he started to say
- 14:00bad things before he died about Trump, he became the darling of the left.
- 14:03Same for Mitt Romney. But remember they attacked Mitt Romney. He put
- 14:07his dog in a crate and put it on top of the car many many
- 14:11years ago. And you know, made that comment about folders full of women
- 14:16or whatever. He said, Oh he's dangerous, Ron Paul, that guy's
- 14:18a quack. Can't go with Ron Paul. Can't do that at all.
- 14:24It kind of ramped up a little bit more when we got to twenty twelve
- 14:28because in that case, that's when some of the more personal attacks came.
- 14:31We had Rick Santorum who was just too religious, Newt Gingrich, all that
- 14:35stuff that wasn't really true, the way that they tried to spin the Sesame
- 14:39Street stuff. Remember he tried to cancel Sesame Street. He still had Mitt
- 14:43Romney in there, still had Ron Paul in there. And you know that's
- 14:50when things started to come. I mean, we were still already doing it,
- 14:54but all of these people were labeled dangerous. They were all dangerous according
- 14:58to people on the left. Remember that, then we got to twenty sixteen,
- 15:03and that's where things started to kick up another notch because it was things
- 15:07like Ted Cruz is a serial killer. That was a running joke, Ted
- 15:13Cruz is a serial Okay. Some of this, by the way, was
- 15:16from Trump, and I think this was an interesting side note on all this.
- 15:20There were personal attacks on John Kasich. There was a tax on Marco
- 15:24Rubio, Ben Carson, Oh he's so dumb, What a dummy. Jeb
- 15:30Bush is dangerous because he's part of that family. We also had who are
- 15:37some of the Oh Bobby Gendall, Oh, you can't go with Bobby Jendall.
- 15:39They were really afraid of Bobby Jendall, but he dropped out kind of
- 15:43early and all that. Carly Fiorina, she's not qualified for the job.
- 15:48Santorum was still there. We had that whole situation. Remember Michelle Bachman when
- 15:52people thought she might run for president and she was going to be a candidate,
- 15:56and they said, oh, she's crazy eyes. They went after her
- 16:00in a way that you normally wouldn't go after a woman. You wouldn't get
- 16:03away with going after a woman if she was on the left. It's a
- 16:06whole different double standard. But think about it leading into this cycle when they
- 16:11said, okay, well who are the nominees potential nominees going to be?
- 16:15And we had the pool of Republicans that was in there and the one that
- 16:18they were and at first the thought of Nicki Haley, they said, oh,
- 16:22well, you know that might be uh you know she Oh no,
- 16:25Nicky Haley, boy she is She's out there. Man, she says some
- 16:27crazy stuff. Until they got to a point where they thought, man,
- 16:33maybe Nicky Haley could actually get the nomination instead of Trump, and they stopped
- 16:37attacking her. She wasn't the worst candidate in the world, but the two
- 16:41that were the worst in the world, and I've talked about this before,
- 16:44were Trump and DeSantis. Trump is the worst. The only one worse than
- 16:48Trump is DeSantis. That's what they said for a while. Trump is the
- 16:52worst. I don't know that they understand how worst works or best works,
- 16:56but to say he's the worst and that there's someone who is worse, I
- 17:02don't think they understand that at all. I heard that from a few places.
- 17:06I actually saw that written in an article and I thought, I know,
- 17:08this person thinks they're being clever with it, but it sounds really stupid,
- 17:12But you start running through some of these can Now the right has done
- 17:15similar things, but there are some candidates on the left that have been worse
- 17:21than others. But you can't just throw the blanket out and say they're all
- 17:25terrible because they're Republicans, or they're all terrible because they're Democrats. I understand,
- 17:30we have allegiances to certain philosophies and we want to vote for people.
- 17:37But the name calling and the Nazi calling, that's where really it's not even
- 17:41name calling anymore when it's Nazi calling, is it. When you start making
- 17:45these veiled accusations about things, and you're trying to question their past or you're
- 17:51trying to question something that maybe happened or didn't happen, and we don't know
- 17:55for sure, all those sorts of things, and you get to the point
- 17:59where you say they're all dangerous, they're all crazy. There's no candidate that
- 18:04Republicans could have nominated this time that the left wouldn't have eventually called crazy and
- 18:08dangerous. They all would have been a threat to the democracy. See,
- 18:12it's easy to say Trump is a threat to the democracy because they have a
- 18:18series of narratives that they've spun already and they can say he's dangerous, he's
- 18:22horrible. But do you honestly think that if Nikki Haley had been the candidate,
- 18:26they wouldn't be saying this about her. Do you honestly think that Ron
- 18:32DeSantis, they wouldn't have run the Oh he's worse than Trump. Any of
- 18:37them would have been worse than Trump, any of them. If Trump wasn't
- 18:41the candidate, they would have said, Oh, Vivek Ramaswami, he's dangerous.
- 18:47Oh you can't trust that guy. Really, why not? He's a
- 18:52threat to the democracy, That's what he is. It's true with all of
- 18:56them, they all would be a threat to the democracy. That there was
- 19:00a way to put people on a line detector and say somebody from the party
- 19:03you don't normally vote for, who's the candidate that you should be least afraid
- 19:08of, who's the one that you should be least afraid, And that have
- 19:14people have to admit that there's somebody on the other side that maybe they would
- 19:17consider voting for. I'll tell you right now, if Tulci Gabbart had stayed
- 19:21around, I like Tulci Gabberts as a even as a Democrat, I know
- 19:26she's become more enlightened and she doesn't identify as a Democrat anymore. And I
- 19:30know she's one of those names that got thrown around for a while. Oh
- 19:33maybe Trump's gonna picked Tulci Gabbard. Is that even still a chance? Is
- 19:37that a possibility? That would be nuts, wouldn't it? It'd be wild?
- 19:44But I would have voted for I mean I would have considered it.
- 19:45I mean, if she had, you know, actually done some more conservative
- 19:51things, I wouldn't have ruled her out. If I didn't like the Republican
- 19:52nominee, I wouldn't have ruled her out. Wouldn't have thought, oh she's
- 19:56dangerous. I would have liked the eye idea of having Can you imagine if
- 20:00we had had, you know, years ago, if we didn't have an
- 20:07incumbent, and we had a situation where you had Tulsi Gabbard running against like
- 20:11a Marco Rubio right. I mean, it's not exactly radical in either extreme.
- 20:18And I understand that some people would say I'd like more right than Marco
- 20:22Rubio, or I like more left than Tulsi Gabberd. But maybe what we
- 20:25needed. But anyway, that's another discussion for another time. My point is
- 20:30they're not all dangerous, they're not all evil, they're not all Hitler,
- 20:33they're not all the worst person in the world. But you can guarantee this
- 20:38Trump is only those things because he's the nominee. And if someone else had
- 20:44become the nominee on the Republican side, they would be all of these things.
- 20:49They would be the threat to democracy. They would be the ones that
- 20:52are going to come in and add more conservatives to the Supreme Court, and
- 20:56they're going to be the ones that are going to do all They're gonna make
- 20:59sure that abortions are not readily available up until, you know, three months
- 21:03after the kids born. All of those things. It would have been whoever
- 21:07the nominee is, they're all the worst possible candidate because they're Republicans. Today's
- 21:15show brought to you by Columbus State Universities Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring

- 22:45somewhere outside the city lights you don't want any light interference, and you can
- 22:48do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events also on their website it's CCSSC

- 23:10all of your garage door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular
- 23:15maintenance that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance on anything that
- 23:21has parts that move and have electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of
- 23:26Columbus can take care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
- 23:30you can always ask them questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd
- 23:33like to make to your garage door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what
- 23:38you want it to be and you need some repair work done to the outside
- 23:41door. Maybe you need a brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making
- 23:47a noise when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of
- 23:51installation issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets
- 23:56in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 24:00add a screen door to your garage door system that you can put down and
- 24:03you can use your garage space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You
- 24:08know, if you like to work on your own cars in there, or
- 24:11maybe you just want a little man cavid, you'd like to be able to
- 24:15open the door up and not invite all the insects in. They can do
- 24:18that for you as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 24:22nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped inside your garage and your
- 24:26garage door won't open and you need somebody to come help, and they do
- 24:30those as well. Seven oh six thy five eight forty five hundred seven oh

- 24:41Show. Right after the break, I can't believe that we're like ten days
- 24:52in before I even acknowledge the fact that we're into Christmas in July on the
- 24:57Hallmark Channel. Oh my goodness, are you already into the Hallmark movies on?
- 25:04I mean, I'm sure you're probably not. Some people are. Some
- 25:08people are. Maybe I've got folks listening here on this show that are doing
- 25:14I would assume most probably aren't, but some of you probably at least knows
- 25:19somebody who is. Maybe I don't know. But Christmas in July rolling on
- 25:25through the Hallmark Channel, so you know, I mean, I'm all about
- 25:30Christmas. I am. I'm a huge fan of Christmas. It's not feeling
- 25:37anything like Christmas. It's not. It's just the way it is, unless,
- 25:41of course, you know, like my wife who's Australian now American but
- 25:48born there and spent most many, many Christmases in Australia, feels like Christmas.
- 25:52To her. I've done at least one hot Australian Christmas. It didn't
- 25:57feel like Christmas. Then had a great time. We went to the beach,
- 26:02we went swimming. But anyway, I can't get into Christmas in July
- 26:07realistically, not in the Deep South when it's so hot. Let's talk about
- 26:12stress. Wallet Hub put together their list of one hundred and eighty US cities
- 26:18with a number of key factors to lead that could lead the stress, and
- 26:22they equated out like financial stress, job stress, family stress, health and
- 26:27safety stress, and they came up with the most stressed cities in the US
- 26:34and the number one most stressful city in the US. Was Cleveland? You
- 26:38ever been there? I would say this, and I don't know about all
- 26:42those factoris in particular, I visited Cleveland. I didn't dislike Cleveland. It
- 26:48just didn't seem like a high stress town. Detroit, Michigan was number two.
- 26:52Baltimore, Memphis, gulf Port in the top five. Closest to US
- 26:57geographically here Birmingham. As far as least stressed cities, Fremont, California was
- 27:07at the top. South Burlington, Vermont, Fargo, North Dakota. That
- 27:11seems like a good pick, Lincoln, Nebraska, Bismarck, Northtaka. There's
- 27:15a lot of Dakota's in here. Sue Falls is in here anyway. As
- 27:19far as least amount of stress. Interesting that we have a California, but
- 27:22it's Fremont, California. It's not like it's you know where a lot of
- 27:26the issues, I mean, the taxes, I'm sure are probably there,
- 27:30But I don't know a lot about Fremont. All right. When you think
- 27:33of pizza, you probably think of some of the popular chains. Well,
- 27:41do you know what the largest pizza chain in America is? No, it's
- 27:45not Domino's or Pizza Hut. It's not Papa John's or Little Caesars. It's
- 27:48actually Hunt Brothers over nine thousand locations across the country, making it the largest
- 27:56pizza chain. So you know you see them in gas stations or convenience stores,
- 28:02or you know, right there you can get your Hunt Brother's pizza.
- 28:06They've got over nine thousand locations. That's the biggest pizza chain in the country.
- 28:11I think I might have gotten there if this was presented to me,
- 28:15and I know I didn't give you much time to think about it, but
- 28:18I think I might have gotten there. But the second most locations, this
- 28:23is what's interesting, over nine thousand for them, just shy of seven thousand
- 28:29for Dominoes at sixty nine twenty nine, and then Pizza Huts at sixty seven
- 28:34to seventy five. So that's the second and third largest based on number of
- 28:40locations. Obviously, that's not necessarily on number of pizza sold or any of
- 28:44those things. That's just on locations where you can get them. All right,
- 28:49how about this. You've probably been in this scenario where you've been at
- 28:56the airport, you get some kind of a notification that a lights delayed because
- 29:00of weather, and then you look and you're like, the weather's fine,
- 29:03what's going on there? And you know, if you're a veteran flyer,
- 29:06you know it's got something to do with whether at your next destination or somewhere
- 29:11in the flight path. Well. United Airlines says that confusion and frustration is
- 29:18real, and they're working on real time weather maps that they can send to
- 29:23passengers to explain the delays. Passengers will receive texts and emails with links to
- 29:30live weather maps showing the conditions affecting their flight. United's chief information officer says,
- 29:36we know customers appreciate transparency, and by combining innovative technology enabled tools with
- 29:41people power, we can give more people, even more in the moment details
- 29:48about their flight. I think that's good. Less stressed passengers and customers is
- 29:52a good thing. And then if they're going to Cleveland, they're not bringing
- 29:56stress with them, they can just absorb some of that Cleveland stress. Apparently
- 30:00that's just the whole town is riddled with it. In Cleveland rocks right.
- 30:07That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors
- 30:11and patrons, Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow.
