00:00 All right, welcome back to the program. Let's go to the phones and talk to Gerald in Kalpins. Gerald, welcome. Hey, Charlie, I was thinking now if Michelle Obama got the mumps and they fell on he, she, where would they land? I don't know. I no idea. Oh, you come up with them, Gerald. I appreciate it. Let's go to Sam and Duncan. Sam, welcome. How are you doing today? I'm good. What's up, uh 00:29 I can understand the frustration with everybody, you know, with the fuel. I travel for work. I can tell you we are fortunate as get all I'm staring at prices in Tennessee that are 384 and higher fuel and creeping closer to $4. Look, take it for the month or two that it may be. Would you rather pay a month or two to know that we don't have to worry about uh 00:57 missile coming out of South America that they snuck in and moved out of Venezuela without us knowing? Yeah. Or would, or would that, you know, that can reach a place like DC, Chicago, Atlanta, something close to home? Or would you rather know that it's gone and that you don't have to sweat about it?

Need you. 02:33 need you to call your state representatives and tell them to vote no on the DOT bill. That's all you've got to remember. Tell them to vote no on the DOT bill. Listen, we did this just a couple of days ago on that 5471 bill. You guys were able to get it and you scared them to death.
