He said he'll put it in in post, meaning afterwards it'd be a bell effect where I would go and there's no bell and he pretends there's a bell. But no, no, it's okay. It's okay. These guys are working at light speed to get me in the studio. But really, what do you think of the visuals? Show the production room guys. I want everybody to see you. You can see Justin, 72ft tall. Michael's like 72 and a half feet tall guy, the founder. There he is. He's still telling me how Rogue One is fantastic. Look at him. He's got a little note on his. Hello, Hello. We got the production. These guys can even talk. Can you guys say something over the thing? Will that go with the thing you just showed me? Don't say anything about Rogue One. I will. I'll cut you right out. They could actually go over and broadcast over the thing. I'm throwing way too many curve balls at these. Look look, there you go. There you. There you go. So we're really proud of this. A couple of thank yous. I want to thank the lovely Paula first, who. This was her project. Make no mistake, folks. I had absolutely nothing to do with this other than earning some money to build it. I did nothing. All of this stuff was Paula. The wall behind us, that's bricks from New York because we have the old New York thing. That's a real iron piling. All of this stuff was her. She designed the whole thing. So thank you, Paula. Thank you. The production team, Guy, Michael, Justin, everyone else who was in here working tireless hours. We appreciate that. And thank you, Jasmine, our business manager, who was in here helping Paula keep everything in line. And a big thank you to Ronnie Kirchman from Kirchman Contracting, who built this lovely studio on time and with very few issues, relatively speaking, considering the breadth of the project. So thank you, guys. And, you know, we can work on a bookcase in the background a little bit. We can. We can add and mix around some new stuff. So. But this is a picture of the old studio. Guy and the team put together a kind of before and after. This is what the old studio looked like. Imagine this train wreck, Jerry rigged operation. I don't even know what half that stuff is anymore. Because Guy, remember, we just kept piling stuff upon stuff. There is Guy. Somebody said, wow on Facebook. Guy, such a handsome guy. I'm like, hey, hold on, chill out there. Kim won't like that. There is the little mini golf thing on the side. There's the kitchen and new place. So we figured we'd give you a little virtual tour. There are the offices. One of those will be Paula's. So you liking it so far? And there. This is a mural. I want to show you this. This is amazing. Paula had this commission, this mural. Oh, what was that? What was his name? Juan. Juan Travieso. Juan Travieso. What a talented guy. That is not a stencil like thing, folks, where you just like spray paint it. So he did that by hand? Juan. He did the thing by hand. He was here, what a week, him and his wife, almost on 24 hour shifts. That is all painted by hand. So amazing. That is in the lobby of the new studio. So it really looks incredible. And there you go. That's. It's not all done yet. There's a couple more kind of knickknack doodad things we got to put in there, but you like it? This was for you guys. We want to make sure you got the best looking product out there. Look at that. That's Hayley's office right there. Haley's actually sitting in that seat right now in the seat you just saw, but she's in it. That's the only different part of the visual landscape of what's going on right now. Paul is right next to the camera right there. But this is our first show. I'm ecstatic to be here. I feel like this is kind of my life's work coming together in this one physical place. So let's do some content. How do you feel about that? Yesterday we saw another messaging debacle up on Capitol Hill as the Democrats who are rudderless right now and seem to be out at sea wandering around with no ability to use the light, the light to get back to the shore, they don't seem to have any direction at this point. And when it comes to the immigration issue, which they took a big L on in the election, nobody doubts that they took and dropped a big L. It was the border, it was inflation and it was this sense of weaponized government that were probably three of the top 10 issues that contributed to this seven swing state. Just absolute disaster for them in the 2024 election. So yesterday, the Republicans brought out up on Capitol Hill in front of committee, they brought out a couple of liberal, you know, big Brandon Johnson types, liberal city mayors and they wanted them to answer basic questions on immigration. The hearing did not go well for the Democrats. But I want to play this clip of Senator Mark Warner first, who is forced in a swing state like Virginia now to admit the obvious, that because the numbers have dropped so dramatically at the border, everything we told you was true. The Immigration and Nationality act allows the president, United States to stop any class of illegal migrants at any time from for any given period of time, for any reason. And Joe Biden just didn't want to do it. So here's Mark Warner and why you pay attention to the stammering around in the answer as he's forced to admit basically Trump was right. Check this out. Do you agree with that assessment that Donald Trump is the only thing that's.
