[applause] >> we have a great evening in store and introduce our speaker tonight, and thank you handful of people in our audience. some of america's finest. those of you who might have arrived late at sunset may not have seen our beautiful landscape, the hilltop we are perched on presently looks more like the moon than southern california. many of the gorgeous trees and greenery that surrounds us is now gone. you might of smelled the

difference in the air. it acts as a reminder of what we went through at the reagan library just ten days ago. the scene here on october 30th was troubling surrounded by fires and front gate and all the hills that encircle us and when the winds were strong and the flames were so high i thought there was a real chance we might lose this national treasure called the reagan library. fortunately on the ground and in the air we were saved by heroes, heroes that we know. [applause] >> we know they were first responders and i had a chance to watch firsthand these magnificent people in action in

the face of some trying conditions, 50 mile an hour winds, they turn back the flames, air force one right next door, the gravesite, and this very auditorium. we have with us tonight a handful - and this is [applause] >> these men and women literally saved the day and in the process saved the reagan library. ventura county fire department and his wife cc, ventura county

sheriff commander john riley, speaking of heroes, november marks one year since the borderline shooting and we have the widow of sergeant ron pelo's. if you will stand, please stand. [applause] >> each of them referenced the thousands of first responders, police, fire, rescue workers and their families who fought back not only flames that reagan library but fires all over southern california. please join me. i want to introduce a special

woman who will introduce a special speaker tonight. i have no doubt she is known to just about everyone in the audience for her roles whether that involves her public-service career as a prosecutor in san francisco and la. or her terrific work on fox news over the years especially on the five. [applause] >> it is no surprise she is closely involved in supporting donald trump and news stories remotely correct, closely involved, in support of our speaker this evening. but more on that from -- if you would, please join me in welcoming to the stage, kimberly guifoyle. [applause]

>> thank you so much. what an incredible moment, good evening to you, fine citizens, how are you tonight? somebody -- familiar faces near and dear to me, an incredible human being you will hear for in just moments. it is wonderful to live and breathe the american dream and the first politician who made me feel so empowered was ronald reagan. great promise and hope and the american dream. and who would have ever

thought, a little girl growing up in california born and raised in the mission district in san francisco, a wonderful mother, in puerto rico, and the proud irishman in the southern part of ireland and the two met and fell in love in san francisco, living their american dream. and the benefits of an incredible education and that he quality of opportunity in this wonderful country that we call america, one that i am proud to stand for, a flag that i am proud to stand for, first responders, our military, our law enforcement, a sense of new hope and a beginning, a

richness of blessing thanks be to god that we have all had the opportunity to have and to be able to share that it handed on to the next generation, and to be here at the reagan library is such an incredibly powerful and humbling moment. [applause] >> uc davis getting a great education in communications i had the opportunity to write incredible papers about one ronald reagan, a man who fills my heart and my dreams, who literally made me feel there wasn't anything in the world that i could not accomplish so i was a born free american.

ronald reagan, an incredible president who didn't see race or creed or color, he saw human beings capable of greatness, of intelligence, of love, of faith, tremendous part of liberty and request and a desire for freedom and for peace through strength and now my heart swells again with the opportunity to be here and stand, senior advisor to the president of the united states, donald trump. [applause] >> this is the president that i feel most embodies the true spirit and passion we all felt with ronald reagan and people feel alive, they feel joy, the

feel hope because like ronald reagan, donald trump was someone who did not lead the job. as reagan used to say, tremendous things, we can accomplish in life if you are not worried about who is going to get the credit and that is the way donald trump is and the way the incredible american patriotic family, the trump family is about giving back to this country and fighting for each and every one of us. and i have traveled across this incredible bright big amazing, amazing country we call america, the united states of america because more unites us than divides us. amen and donald trump gets that and ronald reagan got that and i fight across this country for the forgotten man and woman and i fight side-by-side with

donald trump junior and it is incredible how much he fights, he is the tip of the sphere he was in 2016, to fight for this country and to fight for his father because like ronald reagan the family, incredibly exceptional human being knows you don't live life on the sidelines when everything is at stake to you. you get involved, put skin in the game and you fight for what you believe in and you fight for future generations and my father and incredible brother is next to charlie kirk, and sergio gore is here as well as i am reminded about the people we are in the fight with every single day, far freedoms, liberty, the first amendment, the second amendment, for all of the things that men and women have fought and died to

preserve and protect our freedom and for the free market and thank god for the free market and capitalism, it helps produce any credible american family that understands the value and helps restore the value of the american dollar with a booming economy that has lifted everyone up. record low unemployment for african-americans, for asian americans, for the veterans of this country, women doing better than ever before under donald trump. 47% of all new businesses in the united states of america created by hard-working people, god bless donald trump for that in this family for what they have been able to accomplish. the family that asked for nothing back in return and they

take it every single day incoming, heavy c-130 i like to call it and nothing stops them. nothing slows them down but they believe it is both an honor and a privilege to be a born free american, to fight for this country, to fight for each and every one of us and connect with a base that understands the hard-working people across this country, there is no better than donald trump junior. and let me tell you some of the best moments and weekendss have been those at his buddies house where there is iowa on a full out bed or anywhere across this country, we have been in all of the states it is inspirational to see the connectivity and how people are transformed together fighting for one passion and one purpose and this book is so incredible that he has really

shared all of this moment, the highs, lows, incredible journey, as the tip of the sphere. and this incredible country, and something we have to fight for and thank you for honoring them and supporting them, for buying his book and being in the fight with us every step of the way and it gives me great pleasure and great pride to introduce you to someone i have known dearly for 14 years, he is my best friend, he is my champion, he is a great american and thanks to donald trump junior and the trump family america will never be a socialist country. ladies and gentlemen, donald trump junior.

[applause] >> wow. thank you, guys, thank you so much. thank you so much. thank you, guys. thank you, kimberly. wow. that is such a better welcome then we got on the view the other day.

i had a little fun with some of the guys when we were doing the book signing. what were you doing watching the view? he didn't - just the highlights. i just saw the highlights. it is great to be here, thank you for an incredible introduction. i always get in trouble for saying this but everyone make note that she kissed me, not the other way around because i don't need to get me too this age. we have to have a little fun, guys, right? if the left had their way we could never have fun again and so i can't allow that. and thank you for the

incredible introduction. i don't usually like to do it because she is so good, she is so nuanced, she is much more beautiful than i am. it is tough to follow that. she can do it all. she can go for the kill but she does it so will you come back for more. me, i am a one trick pony. you get a sledgehammer, i am your guy so thank you so much and thank you for having us. it is truly an honor. ronald reagan was one of the true inspirations of my life. one of the people that probably pushed me towards conservatism. what he did and what he was able to accomplish in his presidency is a legacy that few would ever live up to. thank you for having me here. the last time i was here it was a little bit different.

it was the second presidential debate. on the outskirts, he was in the middle. no energy job. i know, baby. kimberly. kimberly, i call her princess voice of reason. when i'm sitting on twitter like this is going to go big she is like no. she said already done. come on, guys. i was -- this was my father, he has taken a pretty aggressive position in the opening debate and you can see when he did the low energy thing the next day jeb was running a commercial running down the street. i was like it is over because he is in your head.

jeb came to that debate and he threw a little barb from the side and my father, it was a different response. that is great. you brought some energy, that is really good. i was like a man talking to a little child and it was over and we all saw it. i remember when you were here you were about to fall off the stage. it was a different form of presidential debate. it is great to be back here and as kimberly said it is for me the last few years of an incredible roller coaster of emotions, experiences, one can only hope to go through. i did get to see the amazing side in 2015, watch political history unfold and what was

probably the greatest upset in political history. and not that it should have been but the deck was stacked. and middle america, the places that have been forgotten for so long. it was interesting for me. i have to disclaim everything in 2019. i recognize i am the son of a billionaire from new york city. i'm an unlikely conservative. i'm not supposed to be a conservative. i went to an ivy league school. all those things that doesn't exactly breathe conservatism. i spend a lot of time with charlie kirk here. truly the leader of the young conservative movement. someone who has gone around

college campuses getting children before they are totally indoctrinated into the lunacy that is the left these days. i met charlie. i met charlie on the trail early 2016 and a friend of mine said you got to meet this guy. he has forgotten more about this stuff and you guys will ever know. he is on college campus, give me a little bit. is 23 years old. get out of my office and seriously, we have no idea what we are doing here. the last thing i need is more people that have no idea what we are doing. we have got a good message. we have a good messenger who can deliver it, not afraid of fighting. my friend was rather convincing. give me five minutes. at the end of that five and is,

you're on my team, let's travel the country, charlie is the reason i was speaking at college campuses in michigan and wisconsin. the states the other side took for granted and didn't even bother to go to. in the last month of 2016 i think we probably spent 14 days of 30 in michigan and wisconsin against all odds. against the experts. i say experts. you know where i'm going with this. sort of like a rhino. experts in name only, experts because they call themselves experts for decades, they just haven't been writing the same amount of time. but we did that and when the results came in it was incredible but for me i actually traveled the middle of the country and i came from a place you wouldn't think that

would resonate my hobby, hunting and fishing, the great outdoors, all of that stuff took me into thank you. the heartland of america and iowa caucuses, everyone you see are usually in brand-new hunting gear doing something like that, they are there with her token i when they met 7 minutes earlier. everyone knows what i am talking about. that is the most beautiful hunting clothing i have everything, like it has never been one. your in iowa so we got to take that photo, we are there for the photo op and i'm thinking i'm there for my buddy from the highway state police who has sleeps in his couch for the past few years during deer season, different experience. one thing we noticed today and my father noticed is honestly people understand and they get genuine for me because i actually did those things, that was actually my lifestyle, wasn't just a photo op it went over. they got it and so it was interesting.

we did this hunting i would during the primaries. it is a thing you do and sort of giving a speech about the outdoors and a big part of my life and protected me from all that and i'm not going to pretend and between us girls we keep that amongst ourselves, i wasn't always an angel but it could have been worse. so the outdoors was a big part of my life and i'm giving that speech in iowa. charlie was there and she goes how are you different than the other people here? good question. how many birds did you see go up today? she goes 9. glad you are keeping count. how many shots did i take, she goes 9. how many birds are in my bag? 9. no further questions.

it wasn't just that that form that basis. i wrote the book because after that experience, the great and not so great which we will get into shortly i had an interest. i'm an unlikely conservative. i'm not supposed to be a conservative but i had a mother who escapes communist czechoslovakia. and perhaps this is why for me it is such an honor to be here at the reagan library, the guy who took down the soviet union. [applause] >> so many of those on the left that are espousing the incredible virtues of socialism and communism it is no longer fringe element, they are out there, like mainstream pop

culture today. unlike them i have actually experienced it myself. i have actually been there. i had a grandfather who was a blue collar electrician in communist czechoslovakia and he saw the incredible blessings we had in this country, the incredible freedoms we had, all of the things we should be so proud of and he said to my father and mother your kids are incredibly blessed but you have to see the other side. they were very involved in my life and from the age of 5 i went over there with him from four to six weeks, i waited in those bread lines. i can assure you it is not so glamorous when you are actually doing it. i have a 93-year-old grandmother who is still alive and she is still over there and spent some time with us every year and she only has cnn and let's call it leftist propaganda, no alternative programming. she calls me and this is a

woman, probably tougher than most of us, not as much as our first responders, thank you for being here and thank you for protecting this place. [applause] >> this is a woman who spent her early 20s in the basement of her farmhouse hiding from the nazis. this is a person who then lived through communist occupation for approximately 40 years. i found it ironic, he speaks check fluently, that is the connection to russia, have you read european history? they are not exactly fans. they will try anything, folks. this lady who has been through a lot will call me every few weeks in tears because she sees these virtues being a spouse's if they are so wonderful and she is telling me, we are speaking check but i will do the best grandma imitation i can do.

you don't understand. it can always sound so good, everything is always free. it never works that way. i want to hear the voice break on this person who is a big part of raising the who i love so much and went through so much who then got to watch her daughter live the american dream and she is in tears for fear of her grandkids and me and her great-grandchildren. doesn't that tell us all we need to know? when i see these virtues being brought up in mainstream political conversation, i feel it is sort of the other side, right? it is interesting that there are no people who have actually lived under those systems who are willing to come here and say we got to bring the here right now, wonderful, great, how many people are there from soviet bloc eastern europe, former soviet union, china, bring it closer to home,

venezuela, cuba, that is millions and millions of people and there is not one. the democrats can find anyone to say something stupid, look at the debates. they say some really dumb stuff and they can't find one person who lived under those systems will vouch for them here? doesn't that tell us all we need to know. that was the genesis of the book "triggered: how the left thrives on hate and wants to silence us". for those who watched the view, you can understand why we named it that. because today it is just the view. there is only one. and if you don't share that one

view it is over, you are canceled. i used that example in the book, i use the example of martina, incredible tennis player, we knew her growing up, a similar story to my mother, escape czechoslovakia, became an incredible athlete, lgbt activists for 35 years before it was cool, out there for reverend a few weeks ago she came out, i don't love the notion of the trans-pluplu or women's turning into women and competing against women in sports. is a female athlete that was her opinion. this was someone. i applauded it. i don't care what you do.

makes no difference to me but when you start doing that, you start competing -- i saw an mma fighter who was a male professional fighter transitioned to female and proceeded to fight against the females and broke the orbital bone and skull, great woman fighter and icy weightlifting records being destroyed, i see bicycle world records being decimated and i say where are the feminists? where other reasonable people that thought for title ix, fought for women's rights, where are those cute you one of them was an incredible athlete. i just say where do we draw the line? she came out and said i'm against this notion, and within minutes it was over. she was attacked with those she advocated for for 40 years and

it was as though anything she had done prior to this her entire life's work, she didn't take it as far as they needed to be taken. again, those goalposts are never-ending, they are always moving. everyone know what woke is cute you a new ridiculous phrase but what is woke today is like also write in about a week. it never ends. this woman who had done all this comes out, gets destroyed but three weeks later has to come back, walks it back and goes after trump because that is the only way to get your penance, to maybe get accepted back in there but i see these stories throughout and i have the blessings of being able to go around on the campaign trail, to fight for

conservative values, people who are doing the things and fighting for the virtues they espouse on the campaign trail and i started telling the stories and people are like you've got to put this stuff down. for years, you should write a business book, my father may have covered that with the art of the deal. i don't expect to beat him in sales but don't want to be decimated. i still have that trump jean, we are going to let that go. this was a unique experience and when you start hearing that over and over you start doing it and it was right. we got the greatest political of said in history and i got to be the number 2 target of the greatest witchhunt in modern history. being sort of the number 2 target of what i call the mueller hoax. this is what is going on in this is what is going on again

today. you see what happened and millions of dollars in legal fees, half of congress saying they will try me for treason. not hyperbole. they are saying this, punishable by death. i took a 20 minute unsolicited meeting but you had no problem with hillary clinton paying millions of dollars to foreign operatives to go into countries. so foreign agents are going into other countries collecting phony dirt, giving it to the fbi who then leaks it to the press also known as the marketing wing of the dnc, the press then write a story which is used as the basis for a hoax fbi investigation and it failed and it failed and it failed and everyone sort of got it.

i dedicated the book to the deplorables because they were the ones who never even wavered. [applause] >> but you saw it. you saw the desperation every time they try to do something else. i am still waiting for adam, let's call him adam fool of shift. i did not cuss at the reagan library, i am still waiting for the evidence, on national tv, the american people, that he had seen -- didn't work out so well but no accountability on that side. there is a double standard, not covered heavily in the book as well but when -- 30 hours of testimony in front of the house, the senate and all those things, kind of good material and after failing and flailing away for 3 years spending $40 million of american taxpayer

money hiring 19 hillary clinton donors because obviously they had no bias. 7 of them were like the celebration that never happened and break the glass ceiling and i don't know. minor details but i'm sure they were being very objective in their prosecution. they went with their trump card. we are going to put robert mueller on the stand and i remember within 30 seconds i'm on twitter, somebody please ask him if he has actually report that bears his name. i got a little bit of the trump charisma for thumbs. and so the this whole set up you realized it was all a sham. he was there not because he was

a great prosecutor or he was going to be a great investigator a be unbiased. he was there because of his prior, his past, he was a decorated marine, the former head of the fbi so he was above reproach. he wasn't there because he was good at his job. he was there because trump wouldn't be able to fight back at him without the media being able to have a field day with it and that is exactly what we are seeing today and version number 2 with the impeachment nonsense. the outrage of last week and i tend to be at the center of all this outrage for some reason, i got the trump jean. we are going to hit back. donald trump junior outs the whistleblower, i did? know. i wish i did. but they make it seem like i hired a team of spies to figure out who the cia operative whistleblower was.

i retweeted an article that had his name in the title of the article. i am like if this is some sort of secret you don't know what secret actually means. it was literally on the drudge report. many people don't know what drudge report -- the largest news aggregator in america. was on there for four days, real clear politics and i realized, robert mueller all over again. they weren't mad that i outed him. they were mad that now that the name is out there people could actually do some research like has been done over the last few days. they could realize that this guy was joe biden's special guest at a state dinner. they could figure out that this guy worked with the brenner and brennan guys and all these people who started coup version number one who lied to congress

but miraculously totally gets away with it because he is on the team. they could see the photograph of this man crying. remember the photograph outside the oval office the day after the election which susan rice crying like a little child. they realize when the lawyer of his comes to the defense other than the real weird allegations like i have gotten security clearance for kids, guys that have been put away for child.. i don't know if that -- you see the guys feed, january 2017, the crew has started. impeachment is next and you realize here we go again, folks. it is just another set up. that is what we have been dealing with. kimberly, you alluded to all the successes. noticed how never that is spoken about an all-time low unemployment.

[applause] >> for everyone, african-americans, hispanics, women. [applause] >> all-time highs, startup businesses. how about even his haters are saying i don't like the guy but he is doing all the things he said he was going to do. [applause] >> i mean, trevor noah, not exactly a man is saying this like isn't that supposed to be what politicians do? when did we get to a place where that is no longer the norm and how sad is it that it isn't? they don't talk about that. was we saw in the last debate how can we take donald trump's twitter account away, it wasn't

mentioned, china. since we are at the reagan library china, sort of the year 2000 version of what was then the soviet union. they didn't talk about it but spent a lot of time trying to limit the president of the united states free speech. if that doesn't tell you all we need to know i don't know what does so i had to get all this down, put it on paper and it was nice, most people are used to me doing the short form bomb on social media. i have mastered that art. i learned from the best. but to be able to put it in long form, to be able to take my experiences and spell it out

so people can see, it is much less a political book than it is a book of our culture because that is what i believe is at stake. there has never been a greater divide between the ideologies of both parties. there has never been more oppression and suppression of free-speech. we get into that, the hypocrisy of mainstream media. it was time to do that and it is my honor to be out there continuously fighting for the beliefs, for the america that ronald reagan wanted us to all be able to live and that extends to our children and our grandchildren and generations to come because it is worth fighting for. thank you so much. for having me here today. thank you, kimberly. thank you. thank you guys.

thank you. [applause] [crowd chanting] >> four more years >> i'm not allowed to tell you who to vote for. that is against the rules. i think -- don't even think about it. leave me alone, 2024. it is a true honor to be here, given the faces, that stood, a little unconventional.

we will take some questions. how do you want to handle it? >> a lot of hands are up. we have staff roaming the aisles. wait until the microphone is putting your hands and we get the time we have so let's start right here. >> we have to take a different tack. i would like your opinion. make them walk their talk. colleges and universities and high schools off the grid and faculty staff administrators driving solar powered cars and it comes out of their current budget, to set the moral example for the rest of us ignorant heathens. >> i think that was more of a statement than a question but i

do believe we have to protect our environment. i am not willing to destroy our entire middle class while the rest of the world's inspired weights and does nothing and while i am getting lectured by your friendly neighbors in hollywood down the road while they are flying over in individual g5 are right. we can do that. america has been leading that charge but they have been doing it through capitalism and the free market on their own. we don't have to penalize ourselves with trillions of dollars while china and india, the largest polluters in the world sit by and say we will talk about this in ten years because guess what happens in 10 years, they say give us another ten. when everyone is walking the walk i'm more than happy to and we are doing it is a country but we should be pushing them to do it, not taking the heat ourselves while destroying the middle class of america. that is what stupid politicians have been doing for far too long. >> can you please please ask

your father to come to california? >> wow. with that kind of response i am not sure i have a choice. >> i just want to say we have no representation here in california. >> it is important and worth fighting for. i make no illusion you win the presidency here. there are a lot of house seats that are in districts, that need to be fought for and a lot of people in this state that have come to me who are sick of the nonsense, sick of terrible

policies, sick of reasonable decisionmake is allowing you to do stuff like get rid of some of the timber that makes you light on fire every few weeks. i think with what i have seen and i hear from so many people, even people who are moderate, centrist, even some that lean left, they are sick of chasing the same goalpost, they want to see some action. there is no question there are seats that can be won back in the state so we will be working on that. we want your help. we do need, you need people to be active. the problem i see in a lot of places like this is you guys are doing a great job. i need you to step up. let your friends know it. once they get that little awakening.

the valentine's day story resonates. even though this was new york, the peoples republic. honestly california is also the peoples republic. kimberly. goads me into taking her to a valentine's day dinner on the upper east side of new york, not exactly a bastion of conservative thought and principles but she saw a red teddy bear and thought it was romantic, romance is not my forte but i went with it. i am at this restaurant, we are having a dinner. i'm looking around and the upper east side of new york, who is the guy? who is the guy who will create a scene? who will start a fight, who is the guy that will do something to be woke on instagram, whatever it may be. i am sitting there miserable the wholemeal.

we are fighters the we are not going to get ambushed either. we are all waiting for it so we get through with dinner and everyone is giving me side i at least in my mind and we pay the bill, we are walking out, we are walking out and there is an older lady from the east side, then new york accent and she stands up and in my face, you -- i am just kidding! i am sorry, one trick pony, baby. just kidding. this -- i can't punch an old lady. another guy grabbed me that is a different story but she just goes you guys have the biggest - in the world and i love it.

so i am sitting there. john is having a heart attack. he can't believe this is going on at the reagan library. i apologize. it was amazing. that moment everyone in the restaurant, all those people giving me that side i started clapping, taking selfys. and so everyone that i thought was there was vehemently against me don't know how to respond. they were afraid of what others would think. they were put in a corner just like the people on election day in our exit polls. we were supposed to be winning, we are losing by 12. how many people are giving you -- about 15%, congratulations, we are up 3. that is the trump voter.

they just didn't want to be put in the corner. they didn't want to be bought but the second someone had the guts, the second someone had the guts to say something, they were all fine with me but not willing to take the next step. we will be here but we need you to take the next step, to call your friends, to be active, to donate, to volunteer, to do it all. right here. >> take over the seat - [applause] >> i don't know. i haven't spoken to him in the last 30 seconds but we have to put up good candidates. one of your congressman in this great state, kevin mccarthy, doing an amazing - he is actually doing an amazing job

as it relates to just that, candidate recruitment. republicans all over, but paul ryan school of thought is whoever is here, and 785 pounds, no ability, and i will focus on page 4076 of the policy piece that no one has read. he is finding people who can win the passion. and they want to do it and i will do it. and they do a great job, and great track record and basically a conservative but check and nancy take over and they turn into communist and you wonder what happened no more of that.

there are people in your backyard and they are fighting that fight because that is the way to win. >> we have time for one last question right here. we are running -- please excuse me. go ahead. >> you can't all fight over me. kimberly is going to get very upset. >> i am a patriotic jewish republican proud. and i have one simple question for you and that is why is it during the democratic debates they don't have the american flag in the background representing us. what are your thoughts on that? >> i have said this in my speeches, it was so great to come here and hear the pledge. to see these sort of things.

some of my places they will do an invocation, do the pledge, do the star-spangled banner, that is the trifecta, if you did that at one of these dnc rallies they would throw you in jail for 35 years. it is important so it is not something they take all that seriously and you can look at the policies and someone will will say that is terrible of you to say but that is the reality. you saw last time in 16 during the democratic national committee meetings they had forgotten flag on the stage there and were trying to scribble to get them. what is going on here? it is a different -- it is great to see some jewish republicans. when you see flagrant anti-semitism in congress, it is truly disgusting to me. i know from my father who after 40 years moved the embassy in

israel. to its rightful home in jerusalem. this is something that has been they facto us policy for decades. bush, clinton, other bush, obama, they all said they were going to do it but no one did. they are campaigns, they are made that promise. and my father actually did it. remember the media? it was going to be the start of world war iii. this past the united states senate 99-0. the start of world war iii managed to pass the united states senate resoundingly like it seems like a major failure of checks and balances and they said billions of people, billions, big number, billions of people were going to die is what happened? two people threw rocks for twee

7 seconds but that is the difference between a politician and someone who knows how to get things done, someone who has done it. and that is why we get that kind of response because that is no longer the norm so thank you very much. i am on your clock. >> we cannot thank you enough for coming, thank you so much. thank you again.
