Oh, absolutely. The hypocrisy, I think, is another really important story that's kind of just been forgotten. I mean, you brought news and that's a great example. There was in the UK, their health minister was having an affair during lockdown and leaving lockdown to go see his mistress.

And we had, I mean, so many examples, Stacey Abrams, when she went to go visit that school and she was not wearing a mask and all the kids were forced into masks and school little kids and I mean, Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done. I mean, there's a limitless amount of examples of this hypocrisy and with no kind of acknowledgement.
