We put Nora tax on people.
We put that.
We tax the people of the kingdom come instead of using the money.
And there's a lot of money left out there in relation to the carbon tax that hasn't been given back to people so that they could encourage them.
to put the solar or whatever is needed on their roofs.

This locks in the stalemate at the Fed, right?
It really kind of solidifies the fact that they are on hold here indefinitely.
What we heard was that the judge was really frustrated with the Trump administration. She had several weeks ago asked them to provide some details of what they are doing or not doing to bring home this man who is being held in a prison in El Salvador. She was very frustrated about what they have not done. She said that they have not provided the information that she asked for.
She said they've not made a good faith effort to provide that information. And she said that their response in this case has been, in her words, an exercise in utter frustration.
Well, they argued that they have provided the information that she requested. But the key issue here is that the administration wants to keep some information secret. It argues that the information that the judge is asking for, much of it involves state secrets. And if that information is made public, then U.S. national security could be in jeopardy.
So they have filed a number of court documents in the case, but many of those are under seal, so we don't know what's in them.
Yes. After the hearing on Friday, the judge cleared out the courtroom and asked the attorneys to stay. They talked about what was in those documents that are under seal. Now, what was said, we don't know because, as I said, everyone was asked to leave the courtroom and this was essentially done in private.
The judge did say that she is likely to issue a ruling on what comes next in the next few days.
We don't because he has not been seen since that meeting with Senator Van Hollen. But during the court hearing on Friday, the attorneys for the government said that he remains in custody at a prison, which is about an hour outside of San Salvador. They said he's a good help. And one of them added he's gained some weight.
So they clearly want everyone to think that he is being treated well in the prison. We don't know that, though, because nobody has seen him since his meeting with Senator Van Hollen back in April.
Thank you so much.
