so-called allies protect their own tankers through the straits of hormuz. how about that the, right? plus, 2020 presidential candidate cory booker who just finished scolding biden for meeting with people he deems racist now says he'd be open to meeting with well known anti-semite louis farrakhan. you can't make it up. "trish regan primetime" begins right now. ♪ ♪ trish: wow, it is one big parade of free stuff from the dems. bernie sanders pitching his free college for all. watch him. >> this proposal completely eliminates student debt in this country and ends the absurdity of sentencing an entire generation, the millennial generation, to a lifetime the of debt for the crime of doing the right thing. finish -- and that is going out

and getting a higher education. trish: all right. now, in bernie's america -- keep in mind, no one has to take responsibility for anything really -- in bernie's america, if you dare to try to achieve something, bernie and his cronies who think venezuela is the real example of the american dream? his web site posted that a few years back. well, they're all out there, and they're going to tax your success any way they can because somehow they believe you don't deserve it. they're going to tax you, the business, investment, all in order to provide college for all. regardless of whether anybody should actually be going to college or not. i mean, college is all fine good, right? but maybe it's not the path for everyone. even though bernie thinks so. you know, this kind of thing, it actually has been tried before. i mean, pick a country. they have plenty of free college all across europe, and guess what? in several of those countries you get tracked, and you get

labeled from the time you're a little kid with the government being the one to decide whether or not you're college material from that early age. but that's not who with we are as americans, right? we don't want the government predetermining our kids' fate or take an industry that's seen too much government support. it's pretty clear that the support from the government the inflates pricing. i mean, the health care industry is really good example of that. and, actually, education's a really good example of that too. inflation in education and in health care have completely outpaced the rest of our economy. education at a rate of 3 to 1, health care actually at a rate of 2 to 1. and that's because the government is there subsidizing, supporting whether it be through medicaid or medicare with no thought given towards actual costs and cost control, whether

it's through federal loans or encouraging the whole united states population to go to college regardless of whether or not the people are qualified. you know, the real answer to this, the answer that some people just don't want to hear because it means assuming individual responsibility is just to let the government get out of the education business and get out of the health care business altogether. enough with the free stuff. it's not affordable. it's not sustainable. it's not practical. venezuela ought to be proof of that, right? the joining me right now for reaction american majority ceo ned ryan. ned, they love the free stuff. e guess it's the, you know, when you're running for student council president and you'll say i'll give you in the, i'll give you that, bernie's giving away college educations for free, health care. elizabeth warren's getting a little worried, she's trying to not be outdone with her own version of freebies. when does this end? >> yeah, no, the constant theme

seems to be free everything for everyone until we run out of somebody else's money. you know, at least bernie was honest today, trish, about this, because he admitted that they were going to have to apply taxes to pay for the free. there's nothing free in life, and he actually admitted that today. i think you had an interesting point though, because you actually showed health care costs have gone up by 2 to 1, education has gone up 3 to 1. there's a common theme among them. majority of health care providers and colleges and universities, they're nonprofits. and i think donald trump, as he did today forcing pricing transparency on the health care industry, he needs to do the same with higher education. but i want to say this, i have no idea why the taxpayer is now involved in a conversation that should be taking place between the students and the colleges and the universities. for the taxpayer to pick up the bill means that we are now the victim of the fraudulent behavior that i think is taking place, and if aocs and the bernie sanders are so concerned

about college debt, tell you what, force the colleges and universities to pay through their endowments, do student reparations if they're so concerned about it. trish: that's a really good idea. i like that, ned. look, i think the transparency is a big problem, right? >> huge deal. trish: this is something that ivanka trump and i actually talked about recently, and she's working on that. her feeling was, look, you get a grant from the government if you get free money from the government, then the government ought to be able to look at the success rate of your student population and be able to hook at what those students are doing after graduating, how quickly they get a job, how much those jobs are paying. that information should be readily available. imagine if it was, then maybe there'd be a little bit more, say, market forces, right? involved in education, where you as a student might say, okay, i'm going to pay this much, and what does it mean for graduation? what does it mean for my chance to earn a living after college? >> exactly. no, i mean, this is the thing,

when you have pricing transparency, you force competition. people actually see the real costs. my concern right now with higher education -- first of all, the left's never going to do that. they're never going to force the colleges to use their endowments because this is where they breed their leftist supporters. so they're not going to do that. but if i was to step back and say, you know what? i'm speaking as a concerned american. higher education many times is giving what i call the equivalent of underwater basket-weaving degrees in the face of automation. and as we look at where we're headed down the path with big tech and automation, what are we even doing by saddling these kids with huge debt and giving them worthless degrees and then sending them into the real world where they can't get a job? trish: hey, but these kids ought to recognize that too, and the parents ought to recognize it. somehow our society's gotten brainwashed into thinking everybody needs a college education. i know plenty of successful people that did just fine without one.

here's joe biden, even joe biden now is pointing to problem with all this free stuff. watch, ned. >> we can do this. we're not -- i'm not making these numbers up. we can send everybody to community college for free, cutting in half the college by just adding $6 billion to our budget. trish: i don't know, i take heart in him saying let's make everything -- we can do this, and let's not just make everything free for everybody all the time because that's actually the exact direction that his party is going. and it's just a recipe for economic disaster, frankly. let me turn to another big story we're following today, ned, want to get your reaction. a "wall street journal" op-ed is calling for president trump to drop vice president mike pence from the victim and replace -- >> of course. trish: you say of course? you don't think it's going to help him or -- >> no -- trish: is pence baggage or is pence good? they're talking about nikki haley and that somehow the idea

is that nikki haley is basically going to come in and fill this void that he has with female voters, with women in the united states. what's your reaction to that? >> no, i said of course because the neo-cons can't accept the fact that trump is still president, and they just can't go and invade countries willy-nilly. this is an absurd idea. i don't think it's going to fly. i literally was having conversations with some very strong trump supporters, and they were like we don't need a member of the bombs away caucus to be on the presidential -- trish: you see nikki haley that way? >> i do. i see her as more neo-con and establishment. first of all, she was great asup ambassador, doesn't mean she should be on the 2020 reelect to be set up for a 2024 run for president herself. the other thing i'll say is this: what mike if pence brought to ticket, trish, was the evangelical community which was hugely helpful in taking donald trump and getting him across the line first. and i think you've got to keep

mike peps on the ticket -- trish: because he still needs that. >> he still needs it. he still needs the evangelical christian vote to win in 20. i don't see this flying, and i certainly hope that somebody who's flying a trial balloon that will quickly go down and not be given serious thought. trish: all right, ned ryan, thank you so much. cory booker cosponsored a bill with jeff sessions awarding -- those who marched from selma to montgomery, alabama, but it doesn't stop him of accusing sessions of racism. remember this? >> the next attorney general must bring hope and healing to this country. and in the demands a more -- and this demands a more courageous empathy than senator sessions' record demonstrates. it demands that understanding that patriotism is love of country, and love of country demands that we love all of our citizens, even the most

marginalized. trish: quite a speech, right? get this, now mr. booker's out there saying he'd love to meet with nation of islam leader louis farrakhan. louis fair p can -- farrakhan, right? anybody needs a reminder, here we go, this is what he's like. >> the satanic jews! they control everything and mostly everybody! white people deserve to die. hitler was a very great man. there is no human being on earth that has murdered more living things than the caucasian. trish: tonight ben stein is here to take cory booker on. also tonight, far-left california -- forgive me, governor, gavin newsom, has decided to take a page out of hillary clinton's playbook and call trump voters racist and xenophobic. we have some sound for you that you've got to hear. but first, trump announcing a

trish: just days after calling off the military attack on iran, the president is launching his own brand of strikes on the country, ones that really do work and don't cost lives. they're called sanctions. >> i'll be signing an executive order imposing hard-hitting sanctions on the supreme leader of iran, on the office of the supreme leader of iran and many others. aside from the individual drone, you saw the tankers, and we know of other things that were done also which were not good and not appropriate. we continue to increase pressure on tehran, so america's a peace-loving nation. we do not seek conflict with iran. trish: see, this is creative stuff, right? you have economic sanctions in your arsenal. use 'em. because they work. the trump administration announcing do not mistake this for weaknesses, and i for one am not, and i don't think you are either because it's very clear

sanctions can be extremely, extremely hurtful. the president, meanwhile, has also said he is willing to act if this belligerence out of iran continues, and he hinted at that over the weekend. i want you to see this. >> i'm not looking for war. and if there is, it'll be obliteration like you've never seen before. and if you want to talk about it, good. otherwise you can live in a shattered economy for a long time. finish. trish: meanwhile, iran's ambassador to the u.n. says iran will not talk until trump's sanctions are eased. so what exactly does this mean right now? i've spoken to some iranians that have no interest in sitting down with this president and talking to him. they're not willing to come to table -- to the table and we're saying, look, that deal y'all liked so much, that's gone, where do we go from here? joining me now, mr. steve yates.

good to have you here. >> thank you, trish. great to be with you. trish: you know, where are we going? because iranians seem to just be hoping and praying that donald trump loses in 2020 and someone comes in and restores their lovely deal and they live happily ever after. i mean, is that really a recipe that's going to work for them? and if that's really what they're thinking, what more can we do to influence the equation in the near term? >> well, i've given up trying to get into their heads. i think that would be an evil place to try to go -- [laughter] but i think it's very clear that they do play for time x they're not the only power around the world. china may be doing that -- trish: i think you're right. >> i think it's a mistake. because the president is doing what he said he was going to do. he said he was not going to have a rush to war, he said he was going to try to put pressure, creative pressure on our allies, partners in the region to take on more risk and responsibility. he's not interested in regime

change options. the neoconservative option on the past are not on the table for him. he's not going to sit around and get pushed around. at the same time, he wants to be seen as having exhausted all of these non-military options. he's doing the sanctions, he's doing some cyber things, i hope they to all these things and keep the pressure on. that's totally appropriate. if it goes too far, he will be seen as having been reasonable and along the way, hopefully, recast the balance of power in the region so that iran no longer has the advantage it had the end of the obama years. trish: well, i'll tell you it doesn't have much considering we are now energy independent. we don't need 'em. we don't need their oil. by the way, we don't really need to be protecting the strait of hormuz as we are doing so right now. can't we just leave that to europeans? >> well, we can leave it to europeans, to different asian powers that are very dependent on things going through there. i think there is still some utility of the united states playing a role. i think the president is quite

good at playing this card to get people to pay their share though, whether it's nato or elsewhere around the world. i think that the united states has the unique role in preserving freedom of navigation. we need that in east asia more than ever before, and i don't think we want to give that up -- trish: are we willing to go to war over it? >> i don't think we want to -- we definitely don't seek war and conflict, but i think we do want our friends and partners in the region to step up and to their fair share. and if they do, it's like the good book suggests, we're there to help those who are willing to help themselves. trish: best case she a narrow, the europeans engage in this more so, you ceja pan engage in it -- see japan engage it more so to protect their tankers in the strait of hormuz, and that leads -- leaves the iranians where? >> hopefully where to a place where their people can take control of their country. that's the brutal reality of this, we unfortunately did nothing to try to stand by the

people that want to seek their own freedom. we don't need to go in and invade and occupy countries, but at the very least, we should stand and support those who want to take their country a different direction. the 40-year tyranny of the -- trish: regime change? >> well, i would like the people of iran to enjoy the same freedom we do. they can choose their own way. but i think that our role is to help our allies preserve the peace while that gets sorted out, which could take a long time. trish: all right. steve, thank you very much. democratic senator cory booker loves calling out racism, even policing members of his own party. most recently chastising 2020 candidate joe biden. watch. >> i don't think the vice president should need this lesson, but this was a time for him to be healing and to be helpful. i was disappointed, i've said my peace. trish: booker's now saying he's okay meeting with well known

♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. ♪ ♪ trish: new polling tonight marking a three-decade first here, the most americans ever recorded are now calling our country's immigration crisis a top problem. nearly a quart or saying immigration sr. quarter saying immigration is america's most important problem. that's the highest percentage since gallup started asking this question back in 1993. here now to react is a congressman who knows in the issue all too well, dealing with it day-to-day in his own state, arizona republican andy biggs.

>> good to be with you, trish. trish: i know it's been a big issue in arizona, but what do you think of it now, nationwide people are saying this is a problem? >> i think a couple of things about it. first of all, the illegal immigration problem has flowed into all states whether it's the opioid crisis, whether it's the human trafficking and smuggling that is going north and going to east from the southern border, southwest border right on to the fact that we've actually been able to change the narrative, and in the president has been very cogent on this. he's been a great communicator on this issue so i think it's actually raised the level. i'm not surprised by this at all and i'm actually grateful because maybe we can leverage that to get some of our colleagues to actually do something about it. trish: yeah. while you're sitting there waiting, the democrats have not shown much willingness to to do this. the president has gotten creative, he's said he's going

to call off these i.c.e. aides where they were supposedly going to go around and round up people here illegally, and they were going to do that beginning yesterday. and now he's saying, okay, i'm going to give you, the democrats, a two week deadline to reach some kind of border deal, and if congress can't get its act together in 14 days, then those raids are going to happen. what do you think of that strategy? is it going to work? >> well, i don't think the democrats are in any the mood to go forward, and i'll tell you why. i've got two pieces of evidence. number one is the bill we're going to vote on tomorrow, actually, you see money for humanitarian aid, but they prohibit i.c.e. and border patrol from actually building beds and increasing the detention facilities which is one of the critical problems why there is a humanitarian crisis. and, basically, they're enshrining catch and release. and the they could sing is when nancy e -- the second thing is when nancy pelosi said we want a really great amnesty, she's

talking about a full-throated, full-blooded amnesty to everybody who is here illegally including the thousands of people who have active removal orders. trish: so bear with me for a second, because i know you're not really in favor of that, but what if the president said, yeah, you know what? okay, i'm going to give a path to citizenship for all these people, 11 million, however many it may be that are here illegally right now, and then we're going to shut down the border simultaneously, i mean, he kind of offered a version of that, right? remember, he wanted to give amnesty for the daca kids that, a path to citizenship, and there was an opportunity for the democrats to get onboard with that, and they chose not to do it, sir. >> right. well, trish, there's a big difference between 690,000 daca recipients to 11, 12, 20 million -- some estimates -- trish: but they wouldn't even do the 600,000 daca recipients, and some estimates were as many as

two million. they wouldn't with even do that. >> no, you're exactly right. you know, the president, i think, probably has the authority to close down the border. i think you probably agree with that. he's trying not to do that because it impacts our economy so much as well. but the reality is the democrats have shown no inclination whatsoever to do this. and when i talk to some of them privately, it's because they don't want donald trump to have a political win. that's the way they view it and express it. i'm outraged by that because you and i both know not everyone who's coming here has got the best of intentions when they sneak across the border. and so we put our citizens at peril. and right now because we have not been able to deal with this, you're getting people not just from the northern triangle states that you've covered so well, but we're getting people from asia, we're getting people from africa, cuba's coming over, haiti's coming over, and this is just increasing over and over again because the incentives

there because we're not enforcing our law. if you're not going to enforce your law, it sends a signal that the border's open. trish: well, you know, it's all extremely political right now so, of course, the 2020 candidates are weighing in. here's one of the favorites of the left on it right now, bernie sanders. watch. >> there are i.c.e. raids set to start, some 2,000 people or so who will be targeted. is this appropriate? >> no, it's not. it is absolutely not appropriate. >> specifically on this point, 2,000 the that are supposed to be targeted haven't shown up for court dates and, essentially, they're not following the asylum process, the legal are standards when they're here. so should they be prosecuted? should they be deported? >> i don't like this deportation thing at all, and i think trump uses this as a beginning to do worse things to come. trish: whoo! okay, here we go. because, you know, by the way, if you listen to aoc, somehow these detention camps, right, at the border are the equivalent of

nazi world war ii, hitler concentration camps where millions, millions died, congressman. so that whole, you know, this is the beginning of something that could be much worse to come, that threat, that fear sanders has of, you know, you can't deport people, but, you know, if we can't deport anyone -- [laughter] and everybody can just come and everybody can get health care because, you know, that's what he wants to do and free education, at what point do people say i'm not going to go to united states? at what point does this break the bank for the rest of the citizens that are here trying to pay the bills? >> well, you know, in some ways we're heading pretty close to that breaking point right now. but, i mean, even the announcer talking about 2,000 people, it isn't 2,000 people, it's in the millions. you've got a million people with an active removal order today, another million, million and a half people that are in some appellate process or have otherwise absconded, not shown

up at court. so you've got millions of people out there, and bernie sanders would basically say let's leave the border open, let's pay for the health care, let's pay for the education. and i just don't know how much longer we can do that. trish: yeah. look, i think you're right. and, look, we are a wonderful, very generous society. but there are limits to one'sal true i have, right? -- altruism, right? and in this particular case, there's a lot that we need to be doing for a lot of the people that are here already. congressman, i want to thank you for joining us, as always. democratic senator cory booker loves calling out racism. remember his whole spartacus moment? calling out then-supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh? >> i am going to release the e-mail about profiling, because this is the closest moment i'll ever have in my life of an i am

long. we were told for decades that nafta needed to be replaced and they would do it. no one did it. they were told that china was, you know, needed to be confronted, we were going to do it. no one did it. something as simple as moving the embassy in israel to jerusalem, they said for 25 years they were going to do it, they didn't do it. they got fed up, they went to outsider who said i've got a business background, i'm going to do what i tell the american people if you send me to white house, and they did it. and i think to your point earlier, trish, democrats do have a problem with working class american, blue collar americans, and i'm hearing a lot of people in the midwest who were traditionally democrat, maybe moderate, saying i don't even recognize the party anymore. trish: right. the answer's not socialism, right? there's a big difference between making sure that you're helping the middle class and actually reverting to socialist style a la venezuela policies,ing robin. and that's a direction that's

going to be very hard to get back from, right? once you start all these giveaways, it's the hard to take it back after the fact. so i think we need to be careful about the economic policies in place going forward. >> of course we do. and you know as well as i do that these ideas are usually pitched far more progressively in the primaries, and then they become much more centrist, you know, they wash it out, and they become much more ken tryst to -- centrist for the majority of americans -- trish: bernie sanders? >> no, not bernie sanders. trish: i mean, if he wins -- >> i hope he's not going to be the nominee. [laughter] trish: you know, who do you think will be the nominee at this point? >> oh, my gosh, i, i -- hesitant to wager a guess at this point. all bets are off. we'll see if the debates change anything, trish. trish: mark, is this anyone that can beat donald trump? i would argue if the election are was held today, i don't think anyone could because the economy is doing so well right now, and people do credit this

president and this administration with the policies that have led us there. is there anyone that gives him really a run for his money? >> no, because right now what we see is that they're embracing those socialist policies that you were talking about earlier. in fact, i'm in miami where they'll be later this week debating it, and miami is home to a huge population of people who fled socialism. so it'll be interesting to see as they debate socialism in that context coming up. and just for a point of clarification on gavin newsom. california had the is second highest taxes in the nation, worst business climate, highest gas prices, they have the most homeless and the worst air quality of any state in the world. trish: yeah, they're not doing so well. >> so how's that working out for them? trish: you mentioned the cuban-american population and how all those people fled communism and socialism, and you think about the venezuelan

population in miami, they know firsthand how bad that stuff is. but is that enough to really, you know, i think convince the country? look at these young people, right, in school or maybe just out of school, and bernie's singing their tune. he's saying, hey, or you're not going to have to pay back all that money that you paid for that lousy college degree that's gotten you nowhere. i mean, is that going to be something that resonates with them? i'd like to believe that, you know, most americans when they go to voting booth, they look at that and they see socialist, and they say, wait a second, that's not who we are fundamentally, that's not who we ever want to be. but a population that is so frustrated right now with the status quo, mark, is there a risk? >> well, there's always a risk. politicians at every level always try to give away free things, offer free things, you know, as an enticement for your vote. but the bill does eventually come due, and that's something that the democrats are going to

have to reconcile with because everything right now is $100 trillion of free stuff. trish: robin, final word to you? >> look, i just don't think that this is where we're going to be as a -- look, right now mayor pete is polling neck and neck with bernie sanders. i just don't think he's going to be the eventual nominee. i don't think our country's ready for that. trish: i hope you're right, because i really don't want to turn into venezuela. [laughter] robin, mark, thanks so much. cory booker has accused jeff sessions of racism, brett kavanaugh, even joe biden. but, you know, known anti-semite nation of islam leader louis farrakhan, huh, apparently he's okay to meet with in cory's book. ben stein's shaking his head on this one. he is here. he's reacting to all of it right after this. >> the satanic jews that brad's about to find out if his denture can cope with... a steak. luckily for him, he uses super poligrip.

this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star. we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome.

i'd rather not.

trish: 2020 candidate cory booker, apparently quite willing to overlook the anti-semitic rhetoric of louis farrakhan. he was just asked on a campaign stop if he would avoid farrakhan because of his hateful views that he spouts off, but watch how he responded.

>> i'm not one of these people that says i wouldn't sit down with anybody to hear what they have to say. i am very familiar with minister louis farrakhan and his beliefs system. trish: seems like senator booker's really trying to pick and choose which kind of hate speech he wants to denounce, because he just spent the last week calling out joe biden for all of joe biden's comments on segregationists. don't get me wrong, those senators that biden spoke of had hateful, despicable views, but keep in mind that was 50 years ago. farrakhan's anti-semitism is quite fresh, and here's a little taste of it. >> here the jews don't like farrakhan, so they call me -- well, that's a good name. hitler was a very great man. you know what they do? call me an anti-semite. stop it!

i'm anti-termite. and farrakhan, by god's grace, has pulled the cover off of that satanic jew! trish: so cory booker really thinks it's a good thing to sit down and meet with him? joining me right now, economist and former nixon speech writer mr. ben stein. hey, good to see you. >> good seeing you. trish: why are those on the left, do you think, so hesitant to distance themselves from this jerk, this guy that says so many horrible, horrible anti-semitic things? >> because they think he has a following in the black community, and the black community is the bedrock of the democratic party, and they tonight want to do anything to it in any way whatsoever distance themselveses from that bedrock. you have to understand, minister farrakhan is not just your order lunatic. -- ordinary lunatic. he is a dangerous, hitler-loving, violent racist, probably the most violent racist on the public scene today.

he makes david duke look like benjamin netanyahu. he is a very, very dangerous guy, and the idea that cory booker would think that there's something wrong with meeting, just meeting a person who's a u.s. senator and not endorsing him and not that there's something wrong with meeting farrakhan, it's incredible. farrakhan is a person who should be kept at a distance by absolutely everyone. and, by the way, i believe there is, i believe there is film of our friend mr. obama with minister -- trish: yeah, we've seen many, many politicians right up there on stage with fair farrakhan and seeking his support, etc. but to your point, they don't want to distance themselves from the black community. they're seeing farrakhan as having a hold on that community. let me ask you though, ben, in this environment where we're now look at the lowest unemployment rate for black americans in the history of the united states

under none other than president trump, is any of that loyalty starting to shift? i mean, are tradition thal black democrats saying -- traditional black democrats saying, hey, maybe the democratic party has failed me? maybe i need to rethink this? >> i wish i could say that that was true, but i don't think it is true. i don't know why it isn't true, but there is a very deep attachment to black people feeling like they're the underdogs and feeling like they've been victimized. and for a very long time they were the underdogs and were being victimized, so you can see why they feel that way. why they would attach themselves for a someone who means nothing but trouble like minister farrakhan is a mystery to me. this guy is a very, very bad guy. this guy is hitler. this guy is goebbels. he would, if he could, do all the things that they've done. he's talking about termites. what do we do with termites? we gas them. that's what he's talking about with jews.

trish: yeah. no, i mean, it's pretty despicable that that's tolerated by anyone, but met alone somebody who -- let alone somebody who's running for president of the united states of america -- >> and he's a u.s. senator. trish: i know. anyway, ben, always a pleasure. good to see you, thank you. coming up, everyone, something a little lighter, a video of carrie underwood's baby going totally viral. ♪ limu emu & doug look limu. a civilian buying a new car. let's go. limu's right. liberty mutual can save you money by customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh... yeah, i've been a customer for years. huh... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ dear tech,
