Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow Yo, does anybody understand how weather actually works? Because this thing seems like a scam man. Like I don't want to sound like a conspiracy series, but it seems like a scam man. It's winter and then it's hot all of us, but just like for two days? Who does that? Why they do

that to us? Man? Especially when you live in New York, Because in New York you have to put your clothes like you don't have enough space to just keep your full closet, which is the thing I didn't know when I came from South Africa and South Africa we're ready for anything all the time. In New York, they're like, did you put away your winter clothes? What? Am I a bear? Coming to you from the heart of times? Slare in New York City, the only city in America.

It's The Daily Show. Here's edition tonight, filling down on drill Ground Clapper in Canada is The Daily Show with Trevor No, Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm trying to know what. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. We kick things off with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Which by the time you watch this has either started already, is about to start any minutes,

or was never going to start at all. And one reason no one seems to know exactly what is going to happen is that Russia is playing all sorts of mind games. As Russia claims it is pulling back troops from Ukraine's border, a senior Biden administration official accuses Russia of lying and of moving troops around while adding seven thousand to the some one fifty thousand troops already near

Ukraine's borders. Britain's military intelligence chief, in a rare statement, said there have been sightings of additional armored vehicles, helicopters, and the field hospital moving towards Ukraine's borders. There are now questions this morning about why Russia would claim to de escalate while apparently not doing it. Propaganda A to create confusion or deliberate misdirection to hide an attack. They have not moved editor Church job, they'd moved Moore Roch

Game number one. Every indication we have they're very prepared to go into the train. Attack the train. Okay, okay, wait wait wait people, people, people can ask you a question, why is America's president always answering questions in front of a helicopter. Is there not a better solution to this? And it's not just Biden like Trump the whole time, and then we're trying to like turn the helicopter off until he gets on. You're wasting fuel and do you know how much gas is right now? Joe Byron, you

also saying important things. You don't want people to miss you what you say. Imagine if I was like, hey, guys, hey guys, as Trevor Noah, I've discovered something that will solve all of the world's problems. What we need and that's what will solve the world. But yes, America's accusing Russia of lying about pulling troops back from Ukraine while actually still preparing to invade it. And I'm not gonna like that. It wouldn't be a surprise if Russia is

being sneaky. I mean, this is the same country that hides dolls inside bigger dolls. Now sick you have to be to do that. You think you found the final you think there's like a doll. I'm so happy news like it's another doll. That was I happy enough? Now I feel bad. I didn't show the gratitude to the person. I didn't know those two doys three dolls. I didn't show three dolls gratitudes four dollars. Then I'm like, how many dolls? Then I break the last one because I

thok there was another one inside. Now broke my toy. But Russia insists that they're putting the troops back. That's what they say, even though all the satellite evidence shows that they're adding even more troops to the border. And people are saying that what Putin is doing here is really disingenuous. But can I be honest with you, I really actually understand this move. In fact, anyone who's ever

played call of duty knows what this move is all about. Right, your mom calls you down for dinner, and what do you do? Yeah, I'm coming, mom. I'm just wrapping up a mission. I'll be right there. All right, guys, let's go again this time. Stop messing around on the BI station, Nick, Come on, But America is certain. They are certain that

Russia is still planning to invade. In fact, today the U s Secretary of State even said that what Russia might do to justify an invasion is launch, fake or even real chemical weapons at themselves and then blame it on Ukraine. Yeah yeah, First of all, uh spoilers. Hello. Secondly, can you imagine that staging a chemical attack on yourself to justify you invasion. That's pretty messed up, especially for the Russian soldiers who have to carry out the mission.

So we launched this on ourselves, but this is fake. Yes, yeah, we will find out when bomb explode. Mystery excitement And you know, people as erratic as the Russians actions might seem, you understand what they're doing right now, right They're playing chess. This is literally what chess is all about. Oh I'm moving forward? Who I'm moving backwards? Or I'm attacking? No, I'm not the horses going this way. Then it turns this is what Russia's doing. This is literally and the

Russians love playing chess. They've been designed for this moment. Meanwhile, the rest of us, we don't play chess anymore. We love dumb games. Now we're like, oh, I need a five letter word that ends in d e plate. No, all right, let's move on from a country that's trying to take over the world to a dictatorship that already runs the World. Disney, the magical company is known around the world for its amusement parks, it's movies, and for

having the fanciest rats. But now they're apparently moving into real estate. You see, yesterday, Disney announced that it will be building planned communities where residents can be quote parts of Disney all the time, which I guess means you have to wait in line for three hours to use

your own bathroom. And look, guys, as much as I'm for decriminalizing drugs, I don't know if we should encourage people to take them at work, because this sounds like an idea that was inspired by a something extra, if you know what I mean, Like, what if the whole world was Disney all the time? Likes just all the time? I love this guy, Hey so hey, so great. I love it Disney all the time. Oh man, I'm so fed up right now. And now. Look, don't get me wrong.

I love Disney by the way. I personally love Disney. I love Disneyland, I love Disney World. But I think the Disney experience will lose its magic if you relive it every day. You catt to do Disney every day. I mean, like, I don't want to pretend I'm gonna make a wish kid to cut lines every day. You've got to do that like twice a year max, you know,

special occasions. And by the way, if you think this idea sounds creepy, just like living in Disney all the time, wait until you see the promo video that they released. These vibrant communities will be infused with Disney place making picture and energetic community, with the warmth and charm of a small town and the beauty of a resort, a place that entices inspiration. It makes every moment more memorable than the last a story. Living by Disney community is

something truly special. Communities infused with Disney place making. Am the only one who thinks that sounds like a cult. I'm not saying it is a cult. You saw how it looked and how it sounded. It feels like a cult, you know. I'm not saying it is a cult. I'm just thinking it feels like a cult. Yeah, Like, if you decide to live there, don't be surprised if you get home one day and it ends with Goofy banging

your wife. I mean, even if it's not a cult, I don't trust it, you know, a perfect community that just feels like an ideal small town. I saw one division. Disney, You're not fooling me. I know how the ship ends. And by the way, by the way, this isn't the first time that Disney has tried to invent a town

that people live in. Right back in nineties, Disney built a community in Florida called Celebration that also had a lot of hype at first, and then a few years later did so badly that they had to offload it to a private equity firm. I mean, so, what does Disney think. I think they can just rehash the same idea with a modern spin and then people throw money at it. It will never work. It's just not gonna work.

All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story, and our top story is about rap. The thing you're fifty year old cousin still thinks he has a shot at. Rap has been around for decades and it's gotten so mainstream it's now even part of the Super Bowl halftime show. But now there's a new style of rap that's blowing up, and it's gotten to the point where the Mayor of New York is so

concerned that he's trying to rein it in. Mayor Eric Adams is trying to curb the violence associated with drill rap. Now that's a branch of rap music that is about the violent side of the streets. Do what drill rapping was? But I called my son and he sent me some videos and it is alarming. Drill rap came under renewed scrutiny after eighteen year old artist Jakawon McKinley's murder earlier

this month. Adams made national headlines late Friday when he called out social media companies for their responsibility in promoting violence and drill rap videos, and he vowed to put a plan in motion. And we pulled a Trump off Twitter because of what he was spelling. Yet we allowing music displaying of guns, violence, We're allowing it to stay on these sites. Okay, okay, hold on, hold on. It

is not fair to compare President Trump too wrapperus. Alright, rappers are all about dissing their haters and banging porn stars and bragging about how rich they are even when they're secretly broke. Does that sound like Donald Trump to you? Show some respect? And yeah, once again, social media companies are in the cross as because you know, these days, they're getting pressure to take a lot down al right, COVID, misinformation,

election misinformation, hate speech, bullying. They can't keep up. I mean, so the only thing that's gonna be left on social media is just gonna be cat photos and things your grandpa accidentally tweeted while trying to google where did Genie and I have our first date? But the real question is what is drill rap and why is it even scaring the Mayor of New York. Well, let's find out in another installment of If you don't Know, Now you know. Rap music a k a. Hippote hop. It's a music

form that tackles every topic you know. It talks about relationships, talks about money, social issues, life on the streets, boiling, you can even walk about the relative moisture content of vaginas. But it can also celebrate gang violence, and that's what has some people worried about drill rap. The hard, driving beats and dark, ominous sound of drill originated in Chicago. It was also heavily gang affiliated. It got a new life in Brooklyn and was brought into the mainstream by

the late pop smoke. Drill music has been around for more than a decade, but local activists tell us what's different is that the music now has a darker tone, with the drill rappers creating songs and viral dances that celebrates local murders. Got shot with face Cort cannot they found his rockcorming more than the music itself, and YPD says it's the taunting and dissing and the lyrics that are wrapped and posted on social media that fuel the violence.

Is distant people that passed, is distant people? Family members? Is disn't people homies? And when that happens, their homies, their family members, and the people's is going retaliate and it's just a never in this cycle. Yeah, that's right. A lot of the lyrics and drill wrap aren't just about street life and violence in general. No, their attacks on specific people in rival gangs, and especially taunting people who were already murdered, which, if you're asking me, is

way over the line. People like, what are you trying to prove at that point? The person is dead? Why you gotta make songs dissing a dead person? It's not like God's up in heaven like we were gonna let you wear, but Little Tree bodied you so hard on the track, you gotta go to hell. No busters allowed through the pearly gates. Oh they roasted you, kid. And look, I'm not a rapper, you know, until my mixtape blows up. But if you ask me, a good distract doesn't need

to call for someone's murder. It doesn't need that. In fact, in my opinion, I think the best distracts don't even mention the names at all. Yeah, look at Taylor Swift. All she said was that someone stole her scarf and it ruined Jake Jillenhall's life. Yeah, that dude wishes he was your shot in the street. But drill rappers getting renewed scrutiny right now because two drill rappers were murdered

in New York just this month. And as you can see, the backlash has been widespread, right from Eric Adams to the police, to local community leaders on the ground. Even some of New York's biggest hip hop DJs, people who love drill music, by the way, have said that they're going to stop playing explicit distracts because they don't want to encourage any more violence. And look, you can totally

understand where all of these people are coming from. Right, they feel like the rap is making the street more dangerous. But don't forget. Don't forget. This is an argument that we've heard about rap music for decades. Gangster rap has become incredibly popular and profitable by selling lyrics about black on black violence. Now that some of its stars stand accused of doing what they've been rapping about, life seems to be imitating art, so to speak, and the critics

are coming out in fours. So radio stations they refused to play the most controversial rap records to make the logic King verdict and the civil unrest in Los Angeles. Some police officers across the country now so they're feeling threatened by the lyrics of a rap song. Radio stations such as k C in Los Angeles and w b LS in New York announced they would no longer play

songs they considered negative. You have the right of free speech in this country, but you don't have the right to yell fire in a crowded There they're yelling shoot in the community that is proud of the guns. They don't seem to see any connection between the kind of music which they sell for profit, and the kinds of problems we have an American society. Rap opponents say they're

fighting to save a generation. It won't be easy. Last night, at the Billboard Music Awards in Hollywood, one of the most foul mouth rappers, Dr Dre, was upheld as one of the best artists of the year. Oh that foul mouth Dr Dre. What a disgrace. I for one will never buy mid range headphones from that man. But yeah, back in the nine sees, people we're saying all the same things about rap music that they're saying now about

drool rap music. And you find in another thirty years they'll be saying the same thing about whatever rap is. Then these crypto rappers are out of control. We don't feel safe in our own metaverse anymore. And look, please don't get me wrong, Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying the backlash against drool rap is exactly the same situation as the nineties. I'm not saying that.

In fact, this week, Eric Adams actually sat down with a group of drool wrappers to hear this side of the story, which is definitely not something that was happening a lot back then. You know, like Rudy Giuliani never sat down for a meeting with Tupac, and if he did, it was only because he was trying to find dirts

on Hunter Biden. But still, the fact that we've been down this road before probably should be a reason to pause, just pause before condemning an entire genre, because a lot of the people that think drool rap is the cause of this violence don't realize that. If you ask people in the drool Rap unity, they said, no, it's not the cause of the violence. It's actually the other way around. How are we taking a genre of music and saying this is the problem in the community. How do that's

the problem? That's yo, that's music. There's a problem that already existed before they had this genre music. The music is the expression for trauma. They're rapping about their reality, and they need to understand that if, for example, they was about drill music, its violence going to stop, it's not. So we're seeing it as they're using it as a scapegoard. The community is like, it's like there's no hope, there's no opportunities. No, we're just making music so we can

get out of these crazies. The lyrics are manifestation of what is already happening. Right, They are actually living their reality. Right, So if their reality was different, then they would rap about different things. Yeah, you see from their perspective, people up it about violence and rap music are focusing on the symptom instead of the root cause. Because you want to ban drool wrap, but you don't want to ban income inequality. You want to ban drool rap, but you

don't want to band mass incarceration. You want to ban drool wrap, but you don't want to ban failing schools. You want to ban drool rap, but you don't want to ban the things that lead to drool wrap. And look, this isn't even unique to this issue, right, Like attacking the symptom instead of the cause is as American as arming teachers. But just cracking down on droo rappers won't

stop anything. They'll just find another way to express themselves. Right, You're gonna end up creating a generation of drool podcasters. When I'm putting my enemies to sleep, I always do it on a casper mattress. The point is, drool wrappers, like any other artist, the artis is going to be an expression of what's around them. If you want to stop the music, don't emulate the same mistakes America has been making for thirty years. Emulate policies from a country

that isn't produced. Say drill wrap like, I'm not trying to start a beef, but there's a reason that the Scandinavian drool scene ain't shit. And yeah, I'm talking to you, Finland. What you're gonna do, give me free healthcare ship And look, don't get me wrong, Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong to stop some of these songs from spreading on radio or on social media. I'm not saying that. All I'm saying is that that can't be

the only solution. And who knows, who knows. Maybe if you actually fix the issues in these communities, then maybe, just maybe the rap music that comes out of them could sound a whole lot difference. You already know what it is. It's your boy DJ system to change my neighborhood. Good, the road smooth, the system working exactly how it's supposed to. I've got no beef, nothing to complained about. Let's go starting my job. So I gotta suit close to the cript.

I should commute funded. Nobody wholes on the roof after school program to mented you schools were funded too, so date you learning that too? Man? My kids been learning piano when flute? My neighborhood good. They need to uproot. None of these posts want to shoot their names. Too many drop opportunities, dropping their cash on the home. Got for your proof for a loan. That's the education, and make it for your degree, not Adama dead. Don't have

to worry about felonies. I'm at home behind the neighborhoods Sonday and everything is good. When the police we see in me, they'd be filling me over and they'd be coming up and need I'm gonna be honest, I really have no complaints. It's a wonderful neighborhood. I got a great home. I got a guy you could call. We could get you a good realtor. All right, when we come back, what the hell is going on in Canada? Well, we sent Jordan Clapper to find out. You don't want

to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. By now you've heard about the massive truck driver protests in Canada that have shut down major parts of the supply chain. But what exactly is it that these protesters want? Well to find out, we sent Jordan Clapper up to Canada to ask them personally for an international episode of Jordan Cleppa Fingers the Pulse. Three weeks ago, north of the border, a new kind of protest emerged. The trucker convoy has

arrived in Ottawa. This city, in the downtown corps remains gridlocked. Some residents here say that they really can take no more. So I traveled to Ottawa expecting to find some Canada nice but their messaging was a bit more coarse. These trucks shut down businesses and made roads impassable. Can I go? I go around here? How do I? How do I get around? But? How long were the protesters planning to paralyze Canada's cape best city? David? How long you been here?

I've been here since day one, holding down the fort pretty much. I'm not going anywhere. I'm coming in from New York. I go by Brooklyn's kindness on the same, Baby, you're able to stay yere up to two years. You're you're committed to be being here for two years? Because two years is nothing? Are you gonna keep up the energy to be here for two years. Are probably people bring stimulants. The people bring it. I smoke a lot of weed. Yeah, okay, right, yeah, but that's just to

calm me down, to keep me, keep me centered. Are you ordering it all with weed? Paranoia that might creep in? No? No, do you think the government is coming for you? Oh? Yeah? Constantly? There there are do like night a little tactics. They try to they move around, they move in, they add more. No lot kind of stuff to do you haul? I haul everything in two thousand twenty e haled from food to building supplies to medical supply. You have my end table that I ordered from Wayfair like three weeks ago.

Is it probably a city either in Montreal or Toronto orders it would really like grant in my apartment. So what exactly was the point of interrupting the supply chain? So what is this all about? You know what? I'm sorry? What is this all a moot? This is about our freedoms? Could you be any more generic? You know, if you are vaccinated, you get to do certain things. If you're not vaccinated, you don't. I don't think people should be divided.

We should all be together united because we're setting up essentially a truck barrier to keep everybody together so they can be united. Yes, God, yeah, we might as well lock them in. It's sort of like a parent who locks the door and says, you guys are in here until the water runs out. You become friends or democracy crumpis yes. And if you're not vaccinated, you're literally a second class citizen in this country. I can't go to the restaurant, I can't go play hockey, I can't go

watch the Ottawa Senators. We don't live in Germany. We don't live a Nazi Germany. Those days are over. To show me your papers don't happen anymore. That's a freedom that every should have. Is the Germany comparison a stretch here in Canada? Are you afraid of cultural appropriation? Probably American cultural appropriation because we use the German excuse all the time. Oddly enough, that wasn't the only thing Canadians were appropriating. Yeah, I hate to use the slogan, but

I don't make North America great again. To meet North America great again. And I don't mean to use that guy's word, but it's true. To be honest, it wasn't even his. He's told from another guy before heaven. I see the Q army on your head? Is it que the American thing trying to find JFK Jr? Yes? What qu ship is going down here? Us? No Q is

amar us. Oh so this isn't like a Yankees had exactly? Okay, the cute thing might just be a fashion choice, but they're definitely reading the same Internet as many Americans and it's more than just a keen past part. What else? The attend to joining thirty is a good steridy? What's agendas in the world's tend towards Joe? Government? You want to sterilize? I said, only certain people cann kate drilling. You're afraid the government will sterilize you? Probably not me,

but now I'm the nine yea. But in two weeks of the Cat of the truck fasting in a mountain, Deuke can can't be too good for the spur production. Probably strettty, So what differ? So Margaret Atwood, audio books are apparently a thing with Canadian truckers, and while shutting down a city seems to have many obvious downsides. Hey okay, great, Hey, Hi, yeah, have you seen a prius around here? Sub see an

opportunity coming from liberal gridlock. The truckers are bringing in customers, are bringing in tourists from Montreal, from all across Canada. Everybody wants to check this out. It's essentially a tourist right now. You can feel the tourism in the air, right You can smell and it smells like amphetamines and uh drift or blood. The flood of eighteen wheeler driving tourists and their Canadian a f outfits created legitimate tension

with residents of the city going what you here? The downtown was shut and there was palpable inger directed at local media. There's still guys, and even at the Daily showy getting food over here. We've been walking around here. Uh, there seems to be a real distrust of media here. Well, for sure, it's a lot of cameras up in your face,

cameras on cameras. And while Canadian authorities have finally enacted emergency measures to try to clear the convoy, so far the trucks are still there, and a well funded, never ending street party infused with misinformation and nationalism feels remarkably possible in our own land of the Free. Where does this move went and go? From here. I believe it's going to be worldwide. It's gonna come to America. Yes, definitely. Think this is inspiring the dick heads of America. Pardon me,

this is inspiring the dick heads of America. It's inspiring of America to join together a stand for freedom. Okay, if they do come to America, then maybe I'll finally get my eat head table. Thank you so much for that. Jordan's all right. When we come back, I'll be talking to filmmaker Janick Sobravo about turning a tweet thread into a movie. So don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is writer and director Jannick Sabravo.

She's he to talk about how she transformed a viral Twitter thread about a crazy road trip to Florida into one of the movies that everyone has wanted to watch. Worst road Trip, Emma. It's not a good one, Yes, it really isn't, but it makes for a fantastic story. Janisa Bravo, Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you for having me. Um. You have done something that nobody has done before. You turned a viral Twitter thread into a movie. And not just like a movie. I mean, this is

a full on Hollywood movie nominated for multiple awards. Congratulations, you know, just it's like fresh on rotten. Tomortowes every what he loves the story. We read Twitter threads all the time, right, we see tweets that go viral, we see moments, but it's very seldom that you think yourself, this could be turned into a movie and turned into

a movie. Well, what made you think that you could turn a story of a strip meeting up with a friend of hers as a strip of going down to Florida and turning into one of the craziest nights and weeks of their lives. How did you think yourself, No, I can turn this into a movie. Did you read the original thread? Yeah? I did. It's incredible. I mean it's so electric, so radical, super stressful, very funny. So it was written by Asia King and I read it

the day it came out. I'm not on Twitter. I wasn't then, I'm not now lucky me, I know, I know it's great. It's a good way to do it. If you want to hate yourself, you should join. Yeah. I actually don't need Twitter to do that. I want my own brain. But so I read it the day it came out, and it was just unlike anything. I mean, every line, if it isn't, if there isn't a incredible joke embedded inside of it. There is also just the

way she strung texts and words together. It was visual and and I already said it was stressful and that's kind of my area. I'm I would say my umbrella is stressful comedy. I mean, if you said to anybody, hey, would you like to watch this movie that's like about sex trafficking and you know, women being exploited, and but it's going to be a comedy, people who like, I'm sorry,

do you understand what comedy means? And yet it feels like comedy is the only way that you could have processed the story, not just you as the director, but Asia herself writing the story of what happened to her. Because when we were reading the tweets, I remember laughing but going this is this is ridiculous? No, it's incredibly bleak. I mean, I just hats off to her for using Twitter as a platform to ex soorce size. What was you started by saying this didn't seem like a great

road trip? I called her today and checked in and said, what do you feel hasn't been said about the film after having spent the last five years talking about it and also for her living with it. And she said that what she hadn't all the way kind of maybe process is that the film allowed her to close that chapter. It's like sort of nightmare in which her agency was being robbed of her. And I loved being on the

receiving end of that because that's all I wanted. I wanted to protect her, but I also wanted to be able to potentially offer some kind of solace for some other women out there that might find themselves in this situation. You know, the opportunity to feel less alone, to feel her, to feel considered, to feel that there is value in their life and that you know they're worth it. And I think we got to do that. I think you

did that end more. When you when you're directing a film that is based on a true story, you know something that is wild is is because when you watch this, this is like like real life of what The Hangover was sort of trying to do. If that makes sense. You don't, Oh, I like that think about The hang was like what's the craziest thing that could happen on a trip and no, and this was real life. This

is happening. Guns are being pulled on people. Here. You have two strippers, one who's like, wait, I didn't sign up for this. Wait, what's happening now? Now there's sex, Now there's drugs. No the wait, what is going on here? Do you know there are no drugs? There are no drugs. The world is drug free. I didn't know that. Yeah, I think that it feels like they're drugs because the experience of those people are the world is sober. It's not to say that the real story was sober, but Okay.

In the threat, she never mentions drugs. So the characters are eating candy primarily, and if they're drinking, they're either drinking Cranberry juice or red Bull, so they're dehydrated and they're having like these sort of candy rushes and headings. There was just like drugs everywhere. But I think we

bring that to the table. I think we're bringing we're bringing drugs, and though in the film itself they don't go all the way to sort of like the empty read, but it's just enough information so that we as watchers. We start to fill in those blanks and we make it worse, right, we do, we do make it worse. Um, before I let you go, I'd love to know what

you're looking forward to doing. You know, you you've lived such an interesting life in terms of your journey, you know, starting off in costuming and and and styling, and then moving up into the ranks of being a really respected director with its directing shows like Atlanta for instance, and the movie that's being nominated for all of these awards. Where do you see yourself? Where do you want to go? What? What stories do you want to try and tell now

that you're in the space of being a director. Very good question. So the next thing that I'm working on right in this moment. The other reason I'm in New York is I am working with the Constitute, the Customer Institute. I'm working with the MET for this year's gala, which is a bit of you know, I used to be a custom designer. Like you said, I used to also be a production designer. So it's pulling from that part of my life and being able to tell a story

through clothing, through inanimate objects. There's sort of these life sized dioramas. I would say sort of long term the arc. I just hope to keep getting to do this, and any opportunity or any chance to kind of put myself out there makes me feel like I the thing I believed about myself is true. Right I do. I do

have value. I am worthwhile. And then I hope for you know, the directors who come behind me or come after me, I hope that it allows them this, that it either makes the road a little bit easier for them or it tells them that there's some possibility or some chance. I think you're going to do that and a whole lot more. Thank you so much for congratulations on a grateful thank you. Thank you. All Right, everybody,
