Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress who bothered to stand
00:00:07.700
up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:00:10.740
Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.
00:00:13.860
He can cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.
00:00:16.860
So we're going to keep running those stories to get hurt again.
00:00:20.280
If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer, if you want to build America up and not burn
00:00:26.160
her to the ground, then welcome, my fellow patriots.
00:00:37.780
I'm a canceled man in some corners of the Internet.
00:00:41.160
Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.
00:00:56.160
Welcome, Congressman Matt Gaetz here, broadcasting live out of our office on Capitol Hill in
00:01:03.900
I want to update you on major developments with military policy that were debated extensively
00:01:11.360
Colombia is potentially going in the way of Venezuela with everything we're seeing in their
00:01:22.600
That's right, as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, and the rest of that gang tries
00:01:27.780
to deprive American citizens of their Second Amendment rights, we see the Trump court, the
00:01:35.180
Supreme Court, actually vindicating Second Amendment rights.
00:01:39.680
In this case, Clarence Thomas has once again proved why he is one of the most beloved dependable
00:01:46.900
In a 6-3 opinion released this morning and authored by Thomas, the Supreme Court struck down a new
00:01:52.540
New York handgun licensing law that required applicants to show a special need to defend
00:02:00.080
The state law required anyone applying for a concealed carry permit to show, quote, proper
00:02:07.300
Naturally, quote, proper cause was never interpreted by New York courts to include self-defense
00:02:15.100
So, other blue states like California, Hawaii, Maryland, and Massachusetts, New Jersey, they
00:02:21.480
imposed similar restrictions where you actually have to prove the need to get your firearm license.
00:02:30.500
The bar was set so high that it was next to impossible to be approved for a carry permit.
00:02:36.080
And that was the point, to keep you from owning a gun.
00:02:39.620
Never mind the fact that the criminals will have them anyway.
00:02:43.480
These laws were a clear violation of the Second Amendment and in line with the radical left's
00:02:51.280
But thanks to six conservative justices and, of course, Trump putting justices on the court
00:02:56.580
allowed us to get to that great number, this law exists no more.
00:03:02.260
And the more states see this and fall in line, the more citizens will be able to exercise their
00:03:07.820
The entire United States will soon become a shall issue jurisdiction, meaning that when
00:03:14.780
you apply for a carry permit, you will be issued one, subject, of course, to the usual
00:03:19.880
restrictions requiring that you're not a felon and training and background checks and so
00:03:27.540
But the key to this decision that was just released this morning, you no longer must show
00:03:33.520
a need to exercise this right to own a firearm.
00:03:38.580
As Justice Thomas states in the opinion, there is, quote, no other constitutional right that
00:03:43.940
an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officials some special need.
00:03:52.380
For too long, Americans in blue states have been at the mercy of violent criminals, unable to defend
00:03:59.780
themselves on their own streets, in their own neighborhoods.
00:04:03.680
The Second Amendment not only protects the right to keep and bear arms, it protects this fundamental
00:04:10.220
right to have them, to use them if necessary, to defend yourself and to be able to get a gun
00:04:20.700
The Second Amendment, New York, to self-defense does not end at the doorstep.
00:04:29.780
Many thanks to the New York Rifle and Pistol Association for bringing this case.
00:04:34.840
But we thank patriots for fighting for our rights.
00:04:39.720
The fight to save the Second Amendment isn't over.
00:04:47.580
And we have to remain on offense in the Congress to ensure that we protect the Second Amendment
00:04:54.880
The United States Senate has, as we predicted, passed the red flag laws that allow your federal
00:05:02.180
tax dollars to be used to bribe the states to take away due process, to inject guns into
00:05:10.540
like every marital dispute, business dispute, neighbor dispute.
00:05:13.680
Go back and watch our full Boebert episode, where Lauren Boebert, the co-chair of the Second
00:05:19.180
Amendment Caucus, joins us and breaks down the elements of that legislation and what you
00:05:29.000
In Colombia, we see a country that is on the backslide.
00:05:37.300
And I remember when you would meet a Venezuelan in Miami, they were typically people that were
00:05:43.280
I mean, Venezuela was the jewel of South America.
00:05:54.780
The people of Venezuela voted themselves into socialism.
00:05:58.960
And ultimately, they're probably going to have to fight their way out of it.
00:06:03.680
Colombia was actually America's greatest partner in the region because the Colombians stepped
00:06:15.860
It's often used as a model for how the United States can have foreign engagement that isn't
00:06:21.320
us becoming the policeman for some other country or the piggy bank for another country.
00:06:26.600
Matter of fact, in Planned Colombia, for every dollar the United States put in, Colombia
00:06:32.460
And that allowed them to move to governments that were more responsive to the people and
00:06:44.440
And former Qatar mayor and ex-rebel fighter Gustavo Petro has been elected as Colombia's first
00:06:58.260
Figures show he took about half the vote, a little more than half, 50.5%, defeating
00:07:03.240
his rival by a margin of about 700,000 ballots.
00:07:09.820
Petro legitimately won on a socialist platform.
00:07:13.260
The results represent a significant shift for Colombia, which has been run by moderates
00:07:19.920
But who is Gustavo Petro exactly, this new president to be sworn in in Colombia?
00:07:26.040
In the 1980s, Petro was a member of the now-defunct M-19 movement.
00:07:31.260
The rebel left-wing group was one of the many guerrilla groups fighting against the government.
00:07:36.880
He then served in the political opposition as a senator and congressman, as well as mayor
00:07:42.640
After serving in prison for illegal arms possession, he was able to engage in that public service.
00:07:51.220
So during this campaign for president, Petro ran on a radical platform, promising to tackle
00:07:56.520
inequity by offering free university education, pension reforms, high taxes on unproductive
00:08:03.760
He almost promised, he also promised to completely implement a 2016 peace deal with the FARC,
00:08:11.240
which is a militant organization that's caused a lot of death in Colombia.
00:08:16.860
And the 50-year struggle with the FARC ended with a deal that politically empowered the FARC.
00:08:22.680
And so you had folks like the current president, who was defeated, Duque, seeking to not give
00:08:31.980
Now you have Petro seeking to empower the very rebels who were fighting against the government.
00:08:37.200
Many of the president-elect's proposals are policies that deconstruct Colombia's well-established
00:08:44.300
and high-functioning institutions, from the national pension program to the oil industry,
00:08:49.940
as well as the redistribution of social security funds and the dismantling of the health system.
00:08:55.920
Petro also follows many of the neo-fascist elements of politics, including silencing his critics,
00:09:02.660
stating his goal to grab control of private assets, befriending dictators.
00:09:09.080
Colombia has undoubtedly elected an anti-establishment president who will almost certainly undo decades
00:09:18.840
This just very, very tumultuous situation in Colombia right now is ideal for a soft fascist takeover.
00:09:27.260
The violent 2021 protests, which killed at least 21 people and injured thousands more,
00:09:31.720
widened the distance between traditional Colombian politics and, you know, the Ivan Duque kind
00:09:38.820
of current president model and this, like, neo-fascist, neo-communist element represented
00:09:47.280
So what does all this mean in terms of the United States and our relationship with Colombia?
00:09:52.540
We know that Petro is more than willing to cozy up to dictators like Maduro and Putin.
00:09:58.900
Petro was the only candidate for president in Colombia who refused to call out Vladimir Putin
00:10:06.480
He also stated that he wants to renew relations with Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, the socialist
00:10:11.740
leader who has wreaked havoc on the Venezuelan people and Latin America in general.
00:10:16.520
Petro argued in one of the presidential debates that, quote,
00:10:19.420
Colombia's border problems would be solved by renewing our friendship with Venezuela.
00:10:26.640
So for perspective, narco-funded dissidents and guerrillas aligned with the Maduro dictatorship
00:10:32.440
control much of Colombia's border with Venezuela.
00:10:36.440
According to recent intelligence assessments, Russia is militarizing that border and training
00:10:41.540
Venezuelan militias known as colectivos, thus bolstering Venezuela's already complex system
00:10:51.660
You cannot have, like, friendly relations with your neighbor that's a narco-state that is sending
00:10:57.320
people in your country to destabilize your economy, destabilize the safety of your citizens.
00:11:03.180
Is that kind of what's going on with the U.S. and Mexico?
00:11:06.520
We have many Colombians in the great state of Florida who are concerned about the future
00:11:11.200
If Petro gets his way and the policies that he's intending to implement actually get enacted,
00:11:16.680
we will likely witness Colombia turning into the next Venezuela.
00:11:22.680
The threat of a left-wing totalitarian ideology is spreading in the Western Hemisphere.
00:11:32.580
I'm far more concerned about communism and fascism being on the march in Latin America than I
00:11:39.660
am what's going on in the eastern portions of Ukraine.
00:11:43.720
We stand with Colombian Americans in praying that Petro does not entirely destroy the great
00:11:50.940
country of Colombia the way we've seen Venezuela destroyed.
00:11:54.740
And to that end, we hope for the triumph of freedom and democracy in the Western Hemisphere.
00:12:03.820
A number of Northwest Floridians are attached to military missions that have a really, really
00:12:11.660
That's the area of responsibility for some of my neighbors where they end up being deployed
00:12:18.480
And we want to make sure that we don't see Colombia move in this left-wing direction.
00:12:26.160
It would not be a good thing for Northwest Florida.
00:12:30.000
Late into the evening, actually into the morning, the House Armed Services Committee was debating
00:12:41.600
And the great news is that there's over half a billion dollars for Northwest Florida's priorities
00:12:48.320
that are reflected in that legislation because we have the highest concentration of active duty
00:12:56.340
One thing we are not proud of is wokeness at the Pentagon.
00:13:05.540
And wokeness is now being corporatized through policies that are called DEI policies, diversity,
00:13:18.800
This is critical race theory on steroids forced down the throats of American workers so that
00:13:26.080
big corporations can pat themselves on the back and virtue signal.
00:13:32.660
But there was an effort last night to take these anti-American, arguably racist DEI policies
00:13:40.600
and apply them to any company that does business with the United States military.
00:13:47.660
Floridians know that we have so many businesses that support the military mission.
00:13:52.840
Many of them are filled with patriotic Americans who love what they do, but they don't want
00:13:58.840
to be focused on what their company is doing for Pride Month or whether or not they have
00:14:07.360
They want to build the best missiles and munitions and technologies and capabilities in the world.
00:14:13.560
And that's what we should have our military focusing on.
00:14:16.600
You think over in China, they're worried about their diversity, equity, and inclusion?
00:14:21.140
They're worried about beating us, dominating us, making sure your grandchildren grow up speaking
00:14:28.460
And I'm very proud to announce that last night, I joined with several colleagues and led the effort
00:14:34.400
to block DEI from being applied to contractors who are doing work with the United States military.
00:14:41.400
There was an amendment offered by Democrat Anthony Brown of Maryland.
00:14:46.120
And one of my colleagues, Mike Gallagher, just an absolute brilliant guy.
00:14:52.700
He represents, I guess, the Green Bay Area in Wisconsin.
00:15:04.460
I suspect we're going to have a lot of diversity, inclusion, and equity debate.
00:15:08.620
So I just want to make one point, and then I don't intend to get involved in a lot of these
00:15:14.320
The entire diversity, inclusion, and equity cottage industry is based on shoddy social science.
00:15:22.360
The most recent meta-analyses we have of DIE programs, like DIE-related training, show that
00:15:33.280
A recent study looked at 50 academic studies, and the result was that these programs are
00:15:38.040
generally ineffective at achieving their stated goals.
00:15:44.000
They increase minority turnover, and they increase intergroup hostility.
00:15:49.280
So we're not achieving what you're trying to achieve.
00:15:53.420
Furthermore, whenever the services come and cite some study, if you actually take the time
00:15:57.360
to read the study or the footnote, you realize that the social science is bogus.
00:16:02.660
So, for example, the Navy came here and said, because they were saying diversity is our strength,
00:16:07.800
they have this report that says diverse organizations are 35% more likely to outperform their non-diverse
00:16:13.500
counterparts, as if this could be quantified, right?
00:16:16.380
So to support this, they cite a 2015 McKinsey study called Diversity Matters, which looks at board diversity
00:16:23.080
using something called the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, where they quantify the racial composition
00:16:30.300
And they claim that racial diversity correlates with greater earnings for a company.
00:16:35.480
Except the formula is so convoluted and dumb that a company with a board that has one white,
00:16:42.200
one Native American, one Latino, and seven black members would score as less diverse than a board
00:16:50.180
They also break the data set into quartiles, and they only compare the top quartile to the bottom quartile.
00:16:59.360
So the correlation is weak to begin with, and if you actually analyze the whole data set,
00:17:05.300
So my only point with all this is that these programs, this cottage industry, are based
00:17:14.460
And the picture that's emerging is actually one that shows they're counterproductive to the aim
00:17:21.160
of promoting diversity or reducing intergroup hostility.
00:17:27.440
So after Mike Gallagher laid them out, we actually flipped two Democrats on the committee,
00:17:36.080
Elaine Luria of Virginia and Stephanie Murphy of Florida, and they joined the Republicans,
00:17:41.480
and we got DEI out of this legislation, one of the biggest wins that we were able to secure.
00:17:48.420
We're back broadcasting live here out of the Longworth House office building,
00:17:53.080
I wanted to thank Blessed to be here from saying, let's get our country back.
00:17:58.300
And we also have Sherry saying, corporate wokeism is BS.
00:18:08.480
Now, one of the areas where we did not get the win that our military members deserve in the
00:18:13.680
National Defense Authorization Act, the vaccine mandate.
00:18:17.060
I worked with several colleagues to work on legislation so that there would be no vaccine mandate,
00:18:24.100
that the people that were affected by the vaccine mandate would be reinstated with their rank and pay,
00:18:28.980
and that the military would be required to have policies that recognize natural immunity.
00:18:37.380
We lost all of these votes, keeping the VAX mandate in place and continuing to punish our brave service members.
00:18:45.960
Here's an exchange that I had with Democrat John Garamendi on this subject.
00:18:53.500
This is the wrong place to be fighting the vaccination issue.
00:18:57.240
We're talking about the military, the American military's ability to be able to fight tonight.
00:19:03.280
You know who's not going to be able to fight tonight?
00:19:05.680
The pilots who are no longer flying for the Air Force.
00:19:08.480
The SEALs who are being separated from the Navy.
00:19:10.860
The thousands of troops who will not be able to wear the uniform in the United States Army.
00:19:15.060
They won't be fighting tonight, and it's because of ludicrous policy that does not recognize natural immunity.
00:19:20.700
I'm in strong support of the Hartzler Amendment, and I firmly believe across the entire enterprise of government,
00:19:26.340
if Big Pharma could find a way to make money on natural immunity,
00:19:30.200
we would have a broader public health strategy that recognized natural immunity.
00:19:33.560
But because Big Pharma can't make money that way, this is not specific to the military,
00:19:37.920
but across the enterprise of government, we don't recognize it.
00:19:40.440
And it's illogical to suggest that because we don't know the duration of the resiliency that natural immunity gives you
00:19:46.980
that you should not consider that as part of a health and readiness decision.
00:19:50.620
We don't know how long the duration of support and protection the vaccine gives is.
00:19:57.400
And by the way, that's not because we're not trying hard enough.
00:20:02.320
So as the virus evolves and as natural immunity demonstrates antibodies,
00:20:07.780
one could think of natural immunity very much as Mother Nature's vaccine,
00:20:12.840
giving human beings the ability to fight off the virus, to have lower levels of medical acuity.
00:20:17.720
And I'm sorry this debate is taking a little longer than some people would like,
00:20:21.660
but there are lives that are being destroyed and ruined by these vaccine mandates
00:20:27.960
So if we have to take a few extra hours to make our point and to debate them,
00:20:32.140
we're going to do so because we've got a lot of brave patriots, heroes in this country,
00:20:37.060
who are taking off that uniform for the last time each and every day because of crazy policies,
00:20:43.400
policies that are not based in science or logic or in how we view our freedoms.
00:20:51.740
The debate was spirited, but we did not come out on top.
00:20:55.500
Not only did every Democrat vote to keep these mandates in place,
00:21:02.400
That's right, the worst Republican in Congress, Liz Cheney.
00:21:06.100
I remember when Liz Cheney was going totally woke, supporting Dr. Fauci, opposing the freedom of Americans.
00:21:14.480
I mean, out in Wyoming, it's a very pro-freedom group.
00:21:18.680
That's a message Liz Cheney is likely to receive resoundingly.
00:21:22.820
But remember early in this when she put up the tweet, the real men wear masks tweet, throw that up.
00:21:29.040
Is this not the image of American exceptionalism and greatness?
00:21:32.560
Yes, Dick Cheney with a blue mask on and Liz cheering that on.
00:21:37.620
So she's for the mandates, and I think it shows a disrespect for our troops.
00:21:45.340
Liz Cheney has no problem sending American troops to go die in foreign wars for the profit of her political donors,
00:21:52.500
but then she won't stand up for those very same troops and military families
00:21:56.880
when they want to refuse an experimental vaccine, when they are some of the most low-risk Americans possible.
00:22:11.300
This is also on the vaccine mandate issue, but the amendment expresses the sense of Congress
00:22:15.580
that in addition to disapproving of the vaccine mandate,
00:22:18.940
that we believe that service members who have already been separated
00:22:22.620
ought to be restored with their pay and with their rank.
00:22:25.780
And I would observe that in times of fear, our nation has proved time and again
00:22:30.660
that we are capable of making very irrational decisions,
00:22:36.260
In the earliest days of our republic, the Congress passed and President Adams signed
00:22:40.220
the Alien and Sedition Act in response to what was considered an imminent war upcoming with France.
00:22:46.960
These laws were a direct violation of our First Amendment rights,
00:22:49.720
and after the perceived danger had passed, the illegal laws were repealed.
00:22:53.820
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, a terrified nation looked inward,
00:22:58.060
and our government forced the internment of Japanese Americans.
00:23:01.480
During the Cold War, driven by fear of communism, our government targeted and blacklisted Americans
00:23:07.180
After 9-11, we passed the Patriot Act that allowed terrible invasions of the privacy of our citizens.
00:23:13.160
But the good news for America is that in many of these circumstances, after time had passed,
00:23:18.540
the decisions did not stand up to logic or common sense or reason or the freedoms enshined in our Constitution.
00:23:26.020
And so we got rid of them, and we did what we could to make right.
00:23:30.300
And this is indeed what is called for when we evaluate the horrendous military vaccine mandate.
00:23:36.540
A vaccine, by the way, that we know with 100% certainty does not prevent COVID.
00:23:41.040
It is a vaccine created with the intent of preventing high-risk Americans from becoming fatally ill,
00:23:48.180
but our service members are predominantly low-risk.
00:23:51.220
Our military is one of the few jobs left in America where individual health and wellness
00:23:57.800
That's not the case in almost any other job that we can think of.
00:24:01.640
And yet, the Department of Defense's policy is forcing the services to fire thousands of service members
00:24:08.740
at a time when we are indeed in a recruiting crisis.
00:24:12.760
According to testimony we've received, the pool of young adults fit to serve is around 23%,
00:24:21.640
And a reason that we will now endure recruiting challenges going forward,
00:24:27.620
a reason why recruiting tours are even being extended in the Army,
00:24:32.560
is because young people look at this vaccine mandate,
00:24:35.920
and it makes them less likely to serve in the military.
00:24:38.680
I don't know that there are any young people who say,
00:24:41.120
you know what, I want to serve in the military because of the vaccine mandate.
00:24:47.160
And so for us to be able to endure that recruiting challenge and to be able to strive,
00:24:54.520
I would suggest that the best thing the Congress could do is express our displeasure with the mandate
00:24:59.840
and our desire that the Department of Defense reinstate these individuals
00:25:03.380
who never should have been separated in the first place.
00:25:25.300
It's not an act of hate to stand up for our active duty service members
00:25:29.400
who want to make sure that they have a patriotic contribution to our country.
00:25:34.240
They shouldn't be subject to an unfair vaccine mandate,
00:25:37.280
and I will keep fighting for them out of love, not hate.
00:25:41.300
It's also love of country that causes us to want to secure our border.
00:25:49.780
It is a threat to our physical security, but it is also a threat to our national security.
00:25:55.280
And we had a debate about this in the House Armed Services Committee
00:25:58.580
because there is a bombing range right on the border,
00:26:02.720
and illegal aliens continue to cross into that bombing range.
00:26:08.060
and that's affecting our ability to test weapons
00:26:11.540
and to field those weapons for our warfighters.
00:26:14.500
So I had what I thought would be a pretty simple amendment.
00:26:17.840
We would have a study and a report on the extent to which
00:26:21.100
illegal aliens crossing into this bombing range would be harmful or problematic.
00:26:26.500
You won't even be able to guess how the Democrats responded to that amendment.
00:26:33.680
The Barry Goldwater Range in Arizona is a national treasure,
00:26:40.160
a critical asset for research development, tests, and evaluation.
00:26:46.000
met with officials who operate security on that bombing range,
00:26:49.860
and they say that operations are affected every day,
00:26:55.420
by illegal immigrants who are coming into that space
00:27:01.940
So this is an amendment to get a briefing from DOD
00:27:10.420
and inform future legislative action on the subject.
00:27:16.120
It keeps the substance of the original amendment
00:27:17.660
offered to represent Gates-Beroun's unnecessary inflammatory
00:27:20.080
and racist language about immigrants from the text.
00:27:22.620
I'm rising in support of Mr. Gallego's amendment.
00:27:31.860
but I think the terminology of illegal alien is the big issue.
00:27:42.060
the extent to which illegal immigration is affecting this bombing range.
00:27:45.520
Mr. Gallego's perfecting amendment does the exact same thing,
00:27:48.300
but he says it's racist to call illegal immigrants illegal immigrants.
00:27:55.220
is change illegal immigrant to irregular migration.
00:28:10.000
and that the policy is going to be on this road.
00:28:21.400
throughout the entire enterprise of government.
00:28:25.780
The goal is to just go to this open border system.
00:28:27.880
I mean, we are now in a world in the Biden presidency
00:28:30.460
where every single month we break the record for the last month
00:28:34.320
for the most number of migrant encounters possible.
00:28:37.080
And that affects our economy, that affects the crime rate,
00:28:48.560
And I would encourage my colleagues to reject the substitute.
00:28:58.420
on policies related to illegal immigration and illegal aliens,
00:29:04.880
the description of those events as illegal immigration.
00:29:09.700
They won't allow us to call illegal aliens illegal aliens.
00:29:12.420
You see, they want to call it irregular migration.
00:29:21.060
Not that they broke into our country illegally without permission.
00:29:26.820
And when the left isn't virtue signaling on immigration,
00:29:33.880
I introduced an amendment to the Authorization Act
00:29:36.640
that would have called out Lloyd Austin's lies on hypersonics.
00:29:56.740
that the Secretary of Defense did not accurately assess
00:30:00.260
our hypersonic capabilities when testifying before the committee.
00:30:06.320
General Van Herc told us that China was doing tenfold what we were doing.
00:30:16.800
China has moved to deploy hypersonic weapons more aggressively
00:30:22.380
They have fielded more capability than we have.
00:30:25.340
And they have fairly aggressive development programs in a number of areas.
00:30:37.720
They have invested more and they are more capable.
00:30:40.160
But you have to be very careful about these comparisons.
00:30:43.140
That is just like exactly the opposite of what Secretary Lloyd Austin said.
00:30:46.600
On May 12th, our distinguished chairman, Mr. Smith, said,
00:30:50.360
on hypersonics, I think it's really important we point out
00:30:52.700
we're behind the Chinese and the Russians right now
00:30:56.820
On hypersonics, I think it's really important to point out
00:30:59.420
we are behind the Chinese and the Russians right now
00:31:15.800
when we have this conversation, we will be caught up.
00:31:18.960
But I don't want to give anyone the misimpression
00:31:22.280
And yet on April 5th, when Secretary of Defense Austin came before us,
00:31:26.100
he and I were in a bit of a disagreement about something.
00:31:29.240
And I suggested that we were behind in hypersonics.
00:31:39.700
I've also seen that we're behind, Mr. Secretary.
00:31:47.160
So what do you mean we're behind in hypersonics?
00:31:55.960
that really, I think, informed my perspective on the issue greatly.
00:31:59.420
I know we can't discuss all those elements here,
00:32:06.900
sit before the Congress and the rest of the country
00:32:08.620
and just lose it at the suggestion that we were.
00:32:14.880
The reason this is important for the sense of Congress
00:32:51.660
is something that we should scrutinize very, very closely.
00:33:02.060
And always make sure to leave comments during the show.
00:33:08.340
Thanks for being a part of our Firebrand audience.
