Attention. You're listening to the top Huff Radio show, America's home for conservative not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the rights. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff. Yes, yes, yes, conservative not bitter. Indeed, my friends,
it is a pleasure to be here today, as you know. As always, you can join the conversation here my emailing Todd at todhoffshow dot com, or you can text us at three one seven to one zero twenty eight thirty message in. Data rates may apply depending upon your carrier. But I hope you had a great weekend. We did as well. You know, I've been just a brief update, Just a little brief update. I was just
talking with the OZ about this. But we had a couple of games yesterday basketball I coach at what is it, I guess you would say, attend you. I guess basketball team, fourth grade, fourth grade girls. One of our girls is a player there, and we're competing. It's the first time that we've done something like this. The games. We play a couple of games every weekend and struggling right now, folks, we struggling. Lost a couple of nail biders over the weekend, lost one by three and the
other by two. But we are getting better. So and if I'm being honest with you, I gotta tech. Can you believe that I got a tech? I'm going to tell you something I didn't deserve a tech. Now, I might have deserved a little bit of a warning, but I certainly did not deserve technical foul. But anyway, I'll keep you posting on how that season is coming together. But I think we've got potential to be pretty good. We just haven't. These girls are just learning basketball. So anyway,
there you go. So by now you probably have heard, if not, I'm about to tell you that Ron DeSantis has officially dropped out of the presidential race and he is endorsing President Trump as his candidate of choice. So this, of course, you know. I rush used to say, See, I told you so, I don't want to go there. Maybe in a little bit of a way, I want to go there. But we all knew that this was going to happen. We all knew that this was
going to happen. And there's really one contender left. And again, I do not mean this disrespectfully to Nicki Haley and her campaign, but she's not really a contender. This has been President Trump's nomination all along. Now, I'm not here to say that no one else can run for the nomination. That's not my point. I just questioned the judgment of such decisions. I questioned the judgment when Mike Pence announced that he was running in the twenty twenty
four Republican primary. I questioned the judgment of I mean, take your pick rond dea Santis in particular because especially Ronda Santis, Rond de Santis had set himself up. And again, I'm not in the business of politics. I talk about these things on this show. I care about these things as an American, as a lover of liberty, these things matter a whole lot to me. But I'm not a professional in that world. I'm not a consultant, not what the advisor, have no interest in that whatsoever. So I
know that there is a business side of this. Excuse me as I take a drink there. So I understand that, and I know that I'm not the one calling the plays and do not want to be. By the way, But to me, in my opinion, and I said this for a long time, this was such an obvious This was such an obvious situation where people like Rhonda's I would say, especially Ronda Santis, should have set this out altogether. I mean, we have gotten through one, We've gotten through
the Iowa Caucuses. We haven't even gotten into New Hampshire. Now New Hampshire is coming upon us what tomorrow. But he didn't even technically get to the first primary. We've really only gone through the first August. And that goes with all of these folks. That goes with Nikki Haley, that goes for Nicki Haley, for Tim Scott, for Mike Pence. A lot of these folks never even got to the starting line. And it's maddening to me.
And of course I said at the time, and I stand by my analysis at the time, when these folks jumped into the discussion here threw their names into the proverbial ring here to be considered for the Republican nominee for president of well for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. But I stand by the analysis that the only chance that these folks had of winning the nomination from top to bottom, and this is not meant to be an insult.
I think that there are things to like about Desantus. I think there are things to like about vivek Ramaswami. I know that there's skepticism about both of those individuals. Some of you have skepticism about both of them. Some of you have skepticism of about one and not the other. And I get that some of you have skepticism about Trump. I get all this. I'm not even trying to say who I think we should be skeptical of or any of that. I'm just acknowledging that there's a lot of you know, a lot
of uncertainty or well, I just say uncertainty about these candidates. But I don't think the only choice, the only chance I should say that Desantas had of winning, that Pence never had a chance. But the only chance they had of winning was if something happened to Trump. And by something, I mean something catastrophic to his campaign. I mean one of the indictments turns into
handcuffs and I got to be candid. I don't even know if that's enough or if they were just trying to overwhelm his campaign to where it was unable to raise money and operate. I don't believe, I don't believe that there was ever any legitimate chance of that happening. But nonetheless, nonetheless, this is where we end up finding ourselves as the only course of action, the only path for any of these folks to win the nomination from the Republican Party.
This is the only option, the only choice, the only path to victory was some series of events that were incredibly unlikely, just from the perspective of just the timeliness of it. Now, the people in the government who have been targeting Trump have tried to time this out so as to make and have the maximum impact on his ability to win the nomination. I mean, we've got one of the trials that they've tried to get started, the DC Trial. I believe that they want to get started on the day before Super
Tuesday. Now you talk about an ultimate backfire Super Tuesday. At the rate we're going Nicki Haley, if she survives past this week in New Hampshire, it's not going to be much further than that. I don't see any way possible we get to a competitive primary and the Republican Party for the presidential nomination between Trump and NICKI Haley. I see no chance of this happening. I see no chance of this happening. It might go on for a couple more
weeks. I haven't looked at the calendar to see which primaries might fall between now and Super Tuesday. I know South Carolina is in there, but anyway, I just I don't see this having any impact whatsoever. The likelihood that we get to Super Tuesday with Trump being the last person running a campaign is fairly high at this point. It's not a certainty, but it is fairly
high. And I say all this simply to remind you that this was predictable when these people decided to run for office six months ago, nine months ago, whenever they decided to announce their candidacy. And you'll remember, if you've listened to this program for any length of time, that I questioned the decisions of Ron de Santis at the time, I thought, he has nothing to gain here, he has nothing to gain. I understand if he doesn't want
to be the vice presidential nominee. I get that. I understand that. I don't know that some people. You know, there was a time and I think we shared this last week where there were a couple of campere presidencies right where the vice president became the party the let's say Reagan's vice presidential will not just candidate, but his actual vice president, George H. W.
Bush became the nominee. After Reagan had to step aside from office after serving two consecutive terms, al Gore, who was of course Bill Clinton's vice president from eighteen nineteen ninety two through two thousand. Al Gore became the nominee. And there was a period of time where people were saying, hey, if you're vice president, remember you're just you're just the pick of the person that's the presumptive nominee of the Republican or Democrat party. The voters don't have a
say on that. Now they can vote for a single ticket in the general election, but that's they didn't have a choice. They didn't actually voice their preference in the selection of who was going to be the running mate. And so there's been concern historically about, you know, having someone move into this level of prominence without being vetted by the voter per se. And the truth is, the truth is that not the direction that we've been going. There's
not been a vice president. Now, Biden, of course was by vice president under Obama, but he did not win the nomination in twenty sixteen at the end of at the end of Obama's term. In fact, that was back when he was dealing with the passing of his eldest son Bo. He didn't even he didn't run at the time, didn't even decide or announce his running in twenty twenty until sometime, you know, as we got closer to that particular cycle as well. So there's obviously you can become the president of
the United States if you're vice president. But there's certainly plenty of examples of where people don't take that route as well. I mean lots of them. Right. So anyway, so I know DeSantis doesn't want to be number two, and I don't know that that's necessary especially, I mean, I can understand that, and I understand that when you look and you see that people are asking you to run for president, when you have big donors coming to you and saying, hey, I think we can build a coalition. I
think we can build we can beat Trump. I think we can get you across the finish line. And you see some big names, a lot of names, and a lot of by the way, names that are on the Rhino side of the Republican Party kind of got behind the candidacy of DeSantis, which was problematic for me. Which was problematic for me, But nonetheless,
I mean, that's fine. I don't you know, we have to find a way to work with everybody within the Republican Party when it comes time to actually voting someone into the White House and governing and legislating and just moving the conservative agenda forward. So I understand that can be appealing, that can be
maybe a little bit. I'm not saying this was the case with the Santas at all, but I can see how that could even make someone's head get a little bit too big Gore, as we like to say in my family, get a little bit too big for your breeches. In fact, that was my dad's nickname, is a little boy growing up with his great uncle. I guess it been his uncle. I think it's my great uncle called
him britches growing up. So you can get too big for your breeches and begin to see that, hey, I've got some big names supporting me. I've got some big names that are calling me up. I've got some big names who are telling me that I should be the Republican nominee. And that's a pretty I mean pretty big deal, right, And so I get it, But where were the people? Where were the people that DeSantis could trust?
Where were the people? And I don't put ram I do not put Ramaswami in this group because I actually think I think it was a good thing for him to run, because he didn't have any name recognition whatsoever. He went out there and now people know who he is and he is. I think he ran campaign the right way. I think he did as good as he could have done given the circumstances and the realities. I think he actually
he actually was better off. Actually you could say one in a way, not the nomination, but had some things that put him at a better position moving forward in the party, in politics. But I would not say that's the case for DeSantis. It's definitely not the case for Mike Pence. Mike Pence, that was his last chance, his last chance, and he's politically, I mean just again, barring some sort of divine intervention sort of thing,
that's Mike Pence's. The end of Mike Pence's political career. DeSantis I don't know if I want to go that far as to say that, but he's definitely alienated people. He's alienated people who believe. Now he's not alienated me, but I know he's alienated people who believe the things about who the right person is for the Republicans to nominate in twenty twenty four, which I believe, of course is Trump. And that's because I think we've got one
heck of a fight. And I know that it alienated some people because some people would say Trump kind of helped make DeSantis. DeSantis even mimicked some of the movements, the hand gestures, the way that he would conduct press conferences. And so again, there's nothing to say he can't run, he shouldn't have run. There's nothing to say that definitively, it's a free country. You can do what you want. But where were the people that had judgment
here? Where were the people who should have said, look, you're going to be in a better position. Trump's only going to be there for four terms. Now I think we should maybe talk about whether you're a vice presidential fit for him. But the smart move is not to alienate Trump's base. The smart move is to say, look, this guy needs to finish what he started. I've learned some things. I'm ready to implement them as kind of a next phase of the process, because it's not one election that's gonna
save this country. We've got to win multiple We're gonna have to win, not just with Trump, not just in twenty twenty eight, with whoever's next, not in twenty thirty two. This is gonna have to This is never gonna end. We're gonna have to continue to move things back in the direction they should go. And it's gonna take strong principal leadership. And I think DeSantis is in a position where he's called into question in the minds of some
voters. I'm not saying me, but I'm saying they have called in the question just how true he is to those principles. And that's why I thought it was a bad idea to run at the beginning. But you can't put that genie back in the bottle. I get it. You can't put that toothpaste back in the tube of toothpaste. It's over and done with anyway. That being said, we're gonna take a time out. We'll come back.
I want to play a little bit of what DeSantis said when he announced that his campaign was suspending, and of course he was dropping out of the race. And there's other things I want to get to in due course as well. My friends, Sit tight, you're listening here to the home of conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, the one, the only, the ever so beloved Todd Huff Back in just a minute, Welcome back, my friends. Yes, indeed, we are going to have to win multiple
elections. We're going to have to win, win, win, baby, just keep winning. Hopefully we'll win with Trump here in twenty twenty four. Hopefully we'll win with whoever steps up in twenty twenty eight. But it needs to be someone who is both well principled in a conservative sense and also a fighter. Also a fighter. I think that's one of the things that I have liked and appreciate it about Governor Ronda Santis. He was representative Ronda Santis.
He's done a good job in Florida. I don't think he campaigned well. I think his campaign was terrible, But I also believe I also believe that that doesn't mean it's the end of this necessarily. It couldn't mean that. And I know some of you are very skeptical of Ronda Santis. I am not there. I'm not I'm not to that point. There are some things that do concern me as far as who I see kind of coalescing around him. But by enlarge, my friends, I mean, he's got a
pretty darn good track record. He's got a pretty darn good track record. He's not you know, the he struggles in some part of campaigning, and I think some of that stems I think some of that stems from just losing. And this is something I feel like in a very very tiny way, very tiny way. Don't misunderstand me here. I'm not saying I can relate in but I think I can relate in a tiny way. And it's one
of the reasons why we do the show that we do. You know, I remember, very early on, very early on in this program, I had someone I'm not going to tell you names, someone listened to this program and he's someone who's very influential in the industry, and he told me on a phone call. He said, well, he said a lot of good things about this program, things that of course you would know as a listener of this program, very well aware of. But he had some very good
things to say about the program. And he asked, He asked me a question, he said, he said, would you consider moving to New York City? And I did? I absolutely, without missing a beat, I said no. Now I might have drawn it out like that a little bit. I said no, and I said, but I would like to at least understand what that opportunity is, before finally saying no, but no, and what do I mean by that? So so when you of course, politics is this way in a much, a much more, a much bigger
way than something like what I do. But you gotta there is a thing that I can relate to on this because the more people, as you grow your show, getting on more stations, you have producers and people that are trying to, you know, tell you things to do and so forth.
I can see how it can make things become It could set the stage for someone to feel uncomfortable because because it's pushed them out of who they are and what they were doing how they were doing it at the beginning, and you get too far from that and it's outside of your comfort zone and everything feels foreign. It's in your head at that point, you're not just being yourself
you're trying to make sure that you do what you were told. It's a different animal, right, And I think that's what's happened to Ron DeSantis here. And by the way, it's why we are not doing it weird. Now we'll do it the slower way by maintaining control over the content, making sure like we folks, I don't have to I don't have to get clearance
from anyone to say whatever I say. You know, these candidates, these candidates sometimes have to get clearance from you know, certain people, advisors, maybe donors, who knows all the folks that are concerned about these things that are happening, and are there's phone calls that they don't like something you say. I don't. Those are things I don't deal with. Then again, not as a candidate, I cannot relate in that way. I think it's
massively bigger than the tiniest ways that I can relate. But I'm saying and maybe you can relate too. Maybe you can relate if you're in a position where you feel like you know how to do your job and you have people that are maybe micro managing or pushing you to change some very core things. That doesn't mean that we don't have. We all don't have ways that we
can improve and things that we should change. I'm simply saying, when they're trying to change core things about who you are, the messaging, there's an emphasis that's so much on the optics. It makes you so attuned to every pause, every word, every facial expression. Right, people start making fun of your boots, as they did with the scientists, and that's I mean,
look, most people. That begins to impact them. Most people, definitely, it doesn't impact Trump. Trump's not impacted the way that a lot of people are. And that's one of the reasons Trump connects. Trump connects because he doesn't go through these things I'm describing. And I think a lot of people put their money, some literally behind DeSantis and others maybe not literally, but just metaphorically. They put their support behind Desantas saying this is our
guy. He begins to maybe feel that pressure. You're the only guy Ron who can stop President Trump. This is your only chance is now or never? Right? This sort of stuff happens, and so I think that these things impact a campaign a lot more than sometimes sometimes people really admit or discuss. We talk about all the end of this campaign or that campaign wasn't well
done. It's not about it can be. I mean, having an effective slogan is good, but I would much rather have an effective candidate than an effective slogan. I would much rather have a guy or a girl who can go out there and communicate his or her ideas, connect with the audience, understand the audience, communicate with the audience, then focus so much on hope and change or make America great again or whatever. Again, there's nothing wrong
with that. Those things actually can help solidify what a candidate is trying to do. It's a rallying point that the messaging can kind of weave in and out of. You can pull in your agenda, your platform, what have you, and start talking about issues and weaving it into your overall slogan and theme. But the most important thing is just that ability to connect and to relate. Of course, you got to raise money. That's another factor as well a lot of dealing with people. And I think if you can't be
yourself, it gets really difficult. And I wonder I know that there was at least pressure there for ran DeSantis to not be able to be Ronda Santus. I wonder how big that that pressure really was, my guess is pretty pretty heavy, pretty heavy. So anyway, timeouts in order. I'm still going to play this sound bite, not the full thing, but I want you to get a flavor. If you haven't heard some of the things he
said, I want you to hear him endorse President Trump. I mean it's it's he does it, but not maybe not as strongly as somewhat hope. But he definitely says we shouldn't be picking Nicki Hayley, she's part of the problem. So anyway, and I think I think he's right when you're looking at the overarching ideas of what we need to do as a country. But anyway, we'll play that. I promise you we'll play it, but a timeouts in order. My friend sit tight back here in just a minute.
Welcome back to my friends. I promise you, if you could hear some of the things we discuss here behind the microphone during the breaks, you would be I mean, I don't know even know what to say about the story that I was just talking about with us, not related to anything in the news, just something that's something that we were discussing here. So so so so as we shift gears, and I'm going to play this SoundBite from DeSantis
announcing his campaign coming to a conclusion. But before we get to that, my friends, I want to tell you about four Patriots. Four patriots dot com slash huff is the website that you can go to to make sure that you are prepared for natural disasters, for power outages. We've got, of course this time of year with winter weather, some icing in certain parts of the country, and I don't want to hear it if you're down in places like Florida and it's getting warm, messaging me about how nice it is.
My folks are heading down there actually actually today, I don't want to hear about that. But you still have stormy weather, right, Hurricanes are not too far out. It's just wise to be prepared, especially when the left, the Democrats run the economy, because of course they can disrupt absolutely anything that they touch. We know that we live that reality every single day of our lives, and so it's just wise to be prepared. They have a
popular three month food supply package. It lasts twenty five years. It includes breakfast, it includes lunch, and it includes dinner options. These things come in stackable storage tots. There's also other supplies and products like generators and water filtration systems. Check them out at four patriots dot com slash huff. Just go to that website. They have a rotating or a variety of specials that change there on a regular basis. Check it out. See what discounts and
specials that they have for patriots dot com. That's the number four Patriots with an s four patriots dot com. Make sure you use the slash huff to get in and see the discounts available to you as a listener of this program. So with no further waiting required, I want to play here. Well, hold on here, Desantas, take it easy, So I want to I want to play this. I want to play this starts coming into my ear. He this happens from time to time. They get these things queued
up and then they start playing when they're not supposed to. So I had to re cut it. Here's DeSantis his announcement stating that he is no longer going to be a candidate in the twenty twenty for Republican primary, and he of course is now endorsing Trump and standing in opposition to Nicki Haley winning the nomination. Here's what he has to say. I cannot succeed as a country if we allow our nation to be invaded, our currency to be debased,
our cities to crumble, and our kids to be indoctrinated. The DC elites who facilitated this mess do not care about you, sure, and they do not work for you. They work for themselves. They seek to accumulate power at your expense to pursue an agenda that is harmful to the American people. Absolutely, citizens do not serve politicians. It is the duty of politicians to
serve you. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words. Reversing the decline of this nation requires leadership that delivers big results for the people we are elected to serve. This is true. I have a record of leading with conviction, championing an agenda marked by bold colors, delivering on my promises, and defeating the people who are responsible for our nation's decline. That is the
type of leadership we need for all of America now. Over the past many months, Casey and I have traveled across the country to deliver a message of hope that decline is a choice and that we can, in fact succeed again as a nation. Absolutely, nobody worked harder and we left it all out on the field. Now, following our second place finished in Iowa, we've
prayed and deliberated on the way forward. If there was anything I could do to produce a favorable outcome, more campaign stops, more interviews, I would do it. But I can't ask our supporters to volunteer their time and donate their resources if we don't have a clear path to victory and they don't accordingly, I am today suspending my campaign. I'm proud to have delivered on one
hundred percent of my promises, and I will not stop now. It's clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. Yes, they watch his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfair this day to attack him. True, I've had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci. Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden. That is
clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee, and I will honor that pledge. He has my endorsement because we can't go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear, a repackage formed of warmed over corporatism that Nicky Haley represents. The days of putting Americans last, of cow towing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology are over. Okay, Now this I played a little over half of his probably right at half roughly of his announcements.
You can hear the full thing. I've got it on the website, as I try to always do Todd Huffshow dot com. Just go to the stacks, or you can google it or go to Twitter or what have you. I didn't play about a minute or show at the beginning, and there's a minutor's show at the end that I haven't played as well. But you get the idea. He's endorsing Trump. He's not in the race. He's met with his advisors, his team, his campaign, he has prayed and
they realize that there's really no path forward for the campaign. Now you would have heard me say mumbling in the background as this was going on, he never did have a path to the nomination. But nonetheless, I mean there's nothing that should stop him from running. Of course, if he meets to qualifications and everything to be, you know, to to enter the race. I just questioned that the judgment of that. So he's making the right decision
here. That really leaves one final competitor for Trump, one final if you want to even look at it that way. In another way, you can say Trump's never had a competition on the Republican primary side, but none the less us one final opponent, serious component, excuse me, opponent for Trump to address and deal with. He may be able to knock that one opponent out at the New Hampshire primary. Nicki Haley may stick around a little bit longer. But that, my friends, what DeSantis just did. We just
played his announcement saying he's out of the race. That is, it's just a matter of time before Nicki Haley has to do something like this as well, and we can begin to focus on Trump versus Biden, which of course we kind of can anyway, but officially and formally deal with that and begin to ramp up to what promises to be the most intense, divisive, crazy political season in modern American history, and maybe who knows, rivaling rivaling any
period of time in American history. So timeouts in order, though, my friends, you're listening to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, Todd Huff and my vast, vast, vast team of attorneys has warned me, has reminded me to warn you, I should say that listening may cause you to lean to the right. So exercise caution, my friends. Back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. Still talking a little
bit here. I want to just kind of tie up some loose ends on this Nikki Hayley situation or exhooted me the who's remaining here in the campaign, the stances of course having dropped out, which we've talked about here most of the program today. But there's a story. There's a story Nationalpulse dot com, which you can of course see by going to the website todt hu Show dot com. Go to the stack of stuff. This is at the National
Pulse. That's who has actually posted this. Here's the headline report. More journals, journalists, that's what that is. More journalists than voters are at Nicky Haley events. A report published Friday suggests that excuse me, suggests more corporate news staffers than voters are attending Nicky Haley's events in New Hampshire, just three days before the Granite States primary. Filing for the spec that that's uh
well, the name of the report I guess is Cockburn. Cockburn found a strange scene as he pulled up at Roby Roby's Country Store in Hookset Thursday. Sure enough, there was either Haley was stood outside giving a TV interview alongside her biggest endorser, Governor Chris Snunu, ten minutes ahead of the scheduled start time. After finding parking, cockburne attempted to end of the store as Haley and Sununu had just done, but the entrance was blocked by people trying to
get in. Was demand on the ground for Haley and the Granite State really so high? Should we expect an upset that will change the Republican race? Let me answer that question. No, those questions were answered as soon as Cockburn managed to sidle into the store. It was full al right of reporters and cameramen with bulky equipment. So it's full of journalists. Remember Nicki Haley, New Hampshire, by the way, the New Hampshire Primary. This is
a different animal than than Iowa. Nicki Haley finished a close well. Trump one, you know, pulled away with fifty what was it, fifty one percent. DeSantis finished I think at twenty one percent. Nicki Haley was just under twenty. So she finished a close second to DeSantis, but she finished distantly thirty plus points behind Trump. That's not what the polls are showing. I don't have a current pole in front of me, but it's it's a
different scenario in New Hampshire. Of course, now that DeSantis is out, now that Ramaswami is out, now that Chris Christie is out, and there's really only two choices in New Hampshire, we'll see what happens. But look, I would maintain, I would maintain, you know, New Hampshire is one that unless Nikki Haley can somehow win this thing a little convincingly, there's
no path. There's no path anyway, But just objectively, objectively, this is this seen on the ground in New Hampshire is the best chance Nikki Haley's gonna have at anything. And I still think it's it's a stretch to think that she's going to win this thing in New Hampshire and it's the best scenario she's going to get. It's only going to get harder from here if she can't win this sizably. The writing is on the wall. The writing's on
the wall anyway, as we've talked about. But anyway, there you go, gotta take a break, quick time out my friends. Back in a minute. Welcome back to my friends here. To wrap up on this busy, busy Monday. A couple things in the stack of stuff I just want to mention. You can see them there or whatever. Google it. The Swedish government has been telling its citizens for a little while now to prepare for war. That's something that's something that I want you. Yeah, I've just
looked at me. My brother had mentioned this to me a week or so ago, and I've had it. I just haven't gotten into it. But that's what's something to keep your eye out on. You can, of course go to the show notes page and check it out there. And of course, the other thing I want to mention in the waning moments here is the World Health Organization's director. He's now calling for a pandemic treaty pandemic treaty so that the world is prepared for quote disease X so they're going to get it
all together and of course take away our freedoms and whatever else. But anyway, check that out as well. Got to go my friends, have a great day. STG.
