i think i think when you meet someone who's had a loss you do you have two options one is to say i'm sorry for your loss which is a perfectly lovely thing to do but if you can share your experience then they're not alone well it's all it's always interesting how when you you know i bring it up uh meeting somebody for the first time and and they say oh i'm sorry to bring it up i you know and as if
What they don't realize is I'm thinking about it all the time. It is, as you said, it is one of my arms. It is an extension of who I am. Quite possibly for the rest of your life. Oh, without a doubt.
Some of the details that have come out, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, it's actually not... You're talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants? FEMA money for migrants? That's okay now? No, I'm not saying it's okay. Don't put words in my mouth. So would you stop that? Would you stop that process?
Wait, when did that become the main...
Oh, come on, Beck. I think this is important for everybody to make their own decision. This is injecting something into your body. And there's great arguments for and against.
I could barely take a couple of steps without feeling really lightheaded and again those just profound chills.
I want to try to get some more of our audience questions.

Talked about concerns about a kleptocracy in the United States. This morning, President Trump posted on social media that it was, quote, a great time to buy stocks.

Does that announcement that he gave, gave cover to anybody who did buy stocks?
Those tariffs are aimed at part, and the president talks about bringing manufacturing jobs to America. The White House talked about iPhones being made here in America. Some economists have said that it would cost thousands of extra dollars to buy an iPhone. Is that realistic?
We've got a lot of questions on tariffs, and I'm going to get to one from the audience in just a moment. But I do want to start off, President Trump just put a 90-day pause on a new round of sweeping tariffs. He's keeping... Okay, before we get to that...
We got a lot of questions.
Even asked this question, but the president elect chose to attack you, blame you for this.
You did have a lawsuit against manufacturers of the MMR vaccine, didn't you? I mean, didn't you have a financial conflict of interest?
Sir, did you not have a financial interest?
We're back with Senator Bernie Sanders. I want to introduce Grace Thomas. She's a local civil rights attorney. She's a Democrat, right?
