Because, I mean, all of us get up against something in life that...
You know, either it's unplanned and it's, you know, a terrible diagnosis or financial crisis or something really difficult in life.
It may be something exciting, like, you know, starting a new business or having a baby or doing something.
But we all have things that sometimes will make us feel a little bit overwhelmed.
And that's a common thread in all of these stories.
And so I hope that people will see themselves in these stories, be encouraged and see how God was working and help each of these people to overcome what was the tough thing in front of them.
Yeah.
And listen, during the fight over the tariffs in the lower courts, the administration represented to the courts numerous times that they would pay out the refunds to the plaintiffs in those particular cases.
So that was just a small group of businesses.
So I pressed Secretary Besant, Kevin Hassett, others on this, like what happens to everybody else out there?
And you've seen, I mean, there have already been a lot of big filings, lawsuits filed with different companies across the spectrum saying, we want our money back.
Well, now CBP, because this money comes in through Border Patrol, they say, listen, we are getting together a streamlined way to do this.
It's going to take us about 45 days, I think they told the court recently, to kind of set up the way that you go about getting your refunds.
But there are a lot of lawsuits from companies who are saying, we're not waiting for that.
We want the money back and we want a guarantee from the courts that you're going to pay us.
Well, you know, the president himself was frustrated that the court did not give a specific, you know, framework for paying this money back.
Instead, he, you know, said, oh, we're going to be tied up in litigation for a couple of years.
So that's my question.
Is the administration going to fight some of these refunds or will they do, as CBP has said?
set up this framework because, you know, several businesses out there have spoken publicly and said, listen, the forms that you fill out for these specific tariffs, it's always very specific.
