[laughter] it's a very liberal state which is all about taxing and spending. they won't even allow hydraulic fracturing, they won't allow energy development. stuart: no, they won't. >> look what they've done in upstate to free up energy and create jobs, and yet people are going with over the border in pennsylvania to find that kind of work. so that's a reaction to progressive liberal tax and spend policies. stuart: can i just jump in for a second before we close? i'm sure you seen it, but it's the front page of "the new york times." that's a picture of the egg roll -- >> i did see that today. two sisters. stuart: yeah. and there's a little girl crying her eyes out in "the new york times," and i think that's because it is president trump's easter egg roll, am i right?
