Drop our drawers.

Yeah, well.

And we're just in disbelief.

I mean, every morning we wake up to something more that says unbelievable.

Like you were talking about the prosecutors that quit in Minnesota.

Another thing, an attack against Powell as the Fed chair.

I mean, it's just one more news thing to jam into a news day.

And he and people like Slapton and others are going to be the targets.

Could I potentially be a target?

Yeah.
