We've got a little technical problem with the Locals platform this morning. So I don't know if you can see me or hear me on Locals, but you can see me and hear me on Rumble and on YouTube and on X.

This is the pre-show.

Well, I feel like I shouldn't start early because the people who have been trained to come at the top of the hour are going to
