Not at the moment, but if you had to look at me, I would make sure that you were looking at my arms that had at least been to the gym. You know, Benny does that. And the same with Megyn Kelly. Same with the Candace Owens show. Well produ…

China trying harder to block the fentanyl precursors. As you know, China produces the precursors that go to Mexico and then the cartels turn that into fentanyl and then they kill tens of thousands of Americans every ye…
