Thank you, and thank you all for your support.
2:42:26
Obviously, we heard today from those 2 brave individuals that came in to testify.
2:42:30
And I I and I say brave because there were people that were registered to speak and did not feel comfortable coming in to do so because they feared retaliation.
2:42:41
And it it takes a lot and shouldn't, you know, take so much an energy, mental priority to come here and and be able to share your truth.
2:42:53
So, you know, thank you because I know that without the resources that you will provide individually, these individuals would be completely lost.
2:43:02
And thank your daughter for that beautiful note from the mouth of babes.
2:43:06
Right?
2:43:06
Mhmm.
2:43:07
Thank you.
