. >> thank you, kirt. can everyone hear me? >> yes. we can hear you. >> it's nice that we're doing this in december because the results here are incredible. we've continued the progress made in june and added to it. so you have before you the 9:30 investment performance report which includes the performance report for the first quarter of the 2022 fiscal year. you'll also know that since this report was produced, the equity markets had been considerably more volatile. the s&p 500 was up 7% in october. down about 70 basis points in november and it was down through last friday, but has rallied, so we're positive in december now. the international parking lots have been more volatile and as you know, china, an area where you know we have a large exposure has been challenged in this quarter although we expect that to be reversed. you'll see from kirt's report later that through the end of november, the plan is up another 1.5%. so we should be roughly up 5% at this point on the new fiscal year. page two, if you go back one, kirt, highlights

kirt, let's talk about people that are actually cooperating.of staff to trump is cooperating and benny tompson said this in a statement he's produced records to the committee and will appear for an initial deposition but meadows attorney said we'll continue to work with the commit -- committee to reach an accommodation. it sounds like they're going back and forth a bit. that's two days after adam schiff set a contempt referral this week. you got brad who spoke about a notorious january phone call th about handing over the election. what do you think trump world is thinking and feeling knowing that in trump world people are talking and thinking? >> there are so many so close to trump that are resisting and obstructing this investigation, they know the more people talk, the worse it's going to be for them. when it comes to mark meadows, this is one of those trust but verify situations. it wouldn't shock me if they do a back and forth with the committee and end up on opposite sides. it wouldn't shock me if it turns out meadows isn't being as corpo
