Mr. President, I'm very nervous talking to you because you're a much bigger celebrity than I am. No, no. E Don is the hottest celebrity in the world right now. That's crazy. But that's no way to become a celebrity, right? We'll do it a different way the next time for you. Well, we're very honored. Well, it's crazy. Just because of you, I'm here. You're the only reason I'm here. How was it? Are you free to talk a little bit? I'm on speaker and there's a bunch of cameras. Yeah, I don't really know. I just want to ask. There going to be cameras around you for a while. That's okay. Yeah. But the press has been very fair to you, I must say. And it's been really. It's been an amazing journey. You know, for a while, we thought. We thought we lost you. Actually. A lot of people thought you were not around anymore. There was a period of time. Yeah. Just really honored. And you're an American, and we love you and we're going to take good care of you. And your parents are incredible. I saw your mother. She was pushing me around a little bit. She was putting a lot of pressure on me, like a good mom, like a Jewish woman.
