Accordingly, we ask that you summarize your testimony.

Mr. Smith, you may begin.

Thank you.

And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

Mega media.

I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

So that whole thing with EBSF, it's still vetting for folks who are coming in, and it's an opportunity to have a way better vetting than what they had before under that parole stuff.

And so basically we saw there was a problem with what was going on before, right?

There is nothing you'll do in life that's more challenging, difficult and rewarding than being a parent. Nothing with greater highs or lower lows. You have little kids for a very short period of time. It is a major mistake not to notice that and not to appreciate it.

When a disciplinary issue arises, you need to make space to master it. I have to not do what I thought I was going to do for 10 minutes to set this right.

My daughter, after she had surgery to replace one of her joints in her leg, I don't remember if it was her ankle or her hip. I think it was her hip. She decided to take a motorcycle course because her mobility was impaired and that wouldn't enable her to drive a scooter. And that was a risky endeavor and it was challenging for her and frightening. That was good. in many ways.

And that was a risky endeavor and it was challenging for her and frightening. That was good. in many ways.

And it also did provide her with mobility for several years and made a huge difference in her life, a hugely positive difference. It also gave her a kind of indomitable confidence to be able to do something that's dangerous like that and risky, even in the face of bone fragility, let's say. So that was good. There's been a lot of moments, mostly with my kids. I'm pretty damn happy with them.

Almost all the time. And that's been the case throughout their life. So, I mean, we've had our difficulties, most of them health related, you know, and if you have to have difficulties, well, those are sort of necessary in a way, you know what I mean? And maybe we can cope with necessary difficulties in life. I don't know how well we cope with unnecessary difficulties.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, it does. It really does. Life has enough instability, let's say, and uncertainty without adding uncertainty You're the additional overlay of unnecessary suffering and stupidity. Unnecessary suffering is really hard on people, you know. And so I suppose because there's an element of moral culpability to it that isn't there with with an illness. That's a rough division.
