Every morning is a new opportunity

to take in the news of the day and the challenges of life.

Try to make sense of it all.

Right now, we've got to show the tasks, the topics,

and ask what you think.

So get ready to start your day with a bold look at history

as it happens.

Let's learn, live, and sometimes laugh together.

It's the Mark Davis show.

1-660-A-L-F-D-F.

All right, everybody.

Tuesday, the 10th of March, underway, glad you are here.

866-660-5759.

One hour from now, as we get into the playground

that is the 9 o'clock hour, we are going to welcome back

our friend George Washington University law professor,

John Bansaf.

I get just regular emails from this guy.

He is on top of all kinds of really interesting cases

coursing their way through the American legal system.

And one of them involves a bill that

is passed in the Virginia legislature

that would compel history teachers, civic teachers,

and he's thinking civics anymore, government teachers,

to refer to the January 6th, the unfortunate events

of January 6th, as an insurrection.

So that will open the door into, we all

know we have freedom of speech, right?

But there is also a freedom not to be

compelled to say something.

What if there is a teacher who says,

there was no insurrection charge filed against anybody?

I'm not going to teach that.

Yet you are compelled to.

We will examine the corner of the free speech debate

that also means that you cannot be compelled to speak

or make an expression that you don't wish to make.

Now, don't get ahead of me.

He's like, oh, and that guy's like the bake shop in Colorado.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Hey, will you do the cake for our gay wedding?

I'm going to pass.

Oh, but you must, well, so, and that was a victory in the courts.

And it should have been so compulsory speech,

a little session in the law with our buddy professor, John Bansaff.

That'll be one hour from now.

Right now, though, let's dive into a couple of things.

So sticker shock at the pump is, that's never fun.

It is, it is temporary, but does temporary mean a few,

you know, a couple of weeks of this, a few weeks of this.

Or does it mean that gas prices remain elevated all the way

until a travel heavy summer?

My questions for you, Atlanta Quillen and Channel Five

had a little piece on this.

I'll play here for you.

I offer this as an opportunity to ask you how you think

this is going to play.

There is a media culture that is giving you every reason

to hate the war, every reason to say,

man, I wish we were not involved in this horrible war offered

up by this horrible president.

Do you think that will work?

Will a, a few weeks of, you know, four dollar gas,

disparate you, turn you against the war effort.

Do you, and if not you, and if not Texas,

will it accrue to our detriment?

Because again, what's, what's the lens through which we see

everything?

If it helps us win the midterms, it's good.

If it impedes our victory in the midterms, it's bad.

Now, not everything is linear and simple and one layered.

Because while high gas prices in October

are not going to be helpful, the success of the war on balance

certainly would be.

And as I have floated on a couple of days recently,

if by the time we get to November and the Iranian regime

is no longer a threat to America or to Israel,

and oh, by the way, the bonus plan Cuba is no longer

a communist country.

Is that possible?

That appears that it is.

Is it plausible?

Is it on the horizon?

So this could be a fascinating few months

of international intrigue.

And so when I ask you how you think that's going to play out,

when people are voting, when this will be a part of the,

it'll be a part of the Trump track record on November 3rd.

How do you think has come play out 866 660 5759 866 660 5759.

So let's do a little gas prices, roulette.

And then the story out of Politico, President Trump

delaying his endorsement in the, well, it's kind of funny.

They say delaying the endorsement in Corning versus Paxton.

That implies there will be one.

Because I, I'm staying with this.

I'll believe he endorses when I see it.

There has been genius in the president saying,

Texas, you guys handle this, let Texans decide.

The word is on that day that I floated this story to you.

And everybody started freaking out in 12 languages that Trump might endorse Corning.

Obviously, the Corning Camp loved it.

And the Corning Voting Populous loved it.

I will tell you there's a possibility.

There was always a possibility of that backfiring.

But anyway, obviously a Trump endorsement is a better thing to have than not to have.

But at the White House, they heard immediate and ferocious pushback.

Did that get to the president's ear?

And did that make him pull up on this endorsement?

Maybe.

But I'll tell you what definitely has.

And that is even with all this pressure on Republican senators to pass.

The Save Act, Save America Act.

There's John Foon just yesterday saying, you know,

I don't think we can do that.

Don't think the math is there.

You try anyway.

You go to the battlefield anyway.

And if you fail, you fail, at least you tried.

And then the clarifying glory of that is there's a list of people who were helpful.

And a list of people who were not.

And that is helpful in clarifying.

All right, 866-660-5759, Elena Quillin, Channel 5 this morning on the rising gas price

story.

Yeah, there's so much sticker shock over how much it's increased in the past week.

So as you're driving into work today, some of those gas station prices are probably going

to shock you even more.

I've seen several at $3.49 or even higher across the Metroplex.

Now, AAA now lists the national average at $3.53 with Texas sitting a little lower

at $3.20.

Dallas County, however, has some of the highest prices in the state.

At $3.36 on average, drivers tell us they're watching these numbers rise daily, the latest

spike, though.

Again, like we've mentioned, it's tied directly to rising crude oil prices fueled in

part by that instability in the Middle East.

As Elena continues, I have a question for you, because I think the last time, I don't

remember the last time we did a big round table on gas prices, I don't think we bothered

much with it when it was Putin's fault, maybe a few years back when the gas prices

were so consistently high that drove everybody to Prius' and electric cars and stuff like

that, which is fine.

Love it.

It's pretty cool not having to buy gas or as much gas, but conspiracy theories abounded.

And by the way, we're here in the new order.

When you refer to a conspiracy theory, it's not really a derisive term anymore.

It just means things people are stroking their chins about and wondering and a familiar

destination for such things is if indeed gas gets to knock on the door at four bucks

a gallon in Texas, and then the war resolves.

Things get calmer.

Oil prices actually begin to decrease, but at all the local stores, they've gotten

us used to four dollar gas again, or I mean, not used to it, but absorbing it because

what alternative do we have?

And they just kind of keep it there anyway because they like the extra money.

Now I'm aware of the competitive marketplace and it takes a hero to step in.

I always imagine the, the, the, the, sort of the hypothetical street corner where maybe

you've got a gas station at every quadrant of the corner, northeast, northwest, south,

west, four gas stations, and they all jacked the prices up because hey, the price of oil

went up and they got four dollar gas, four dollar gas, four dollar gas, four dollar gas.

And then the war resolves and they're thinking, whoa, you mean, maybe, maybe we go to $3.99

people think it's a little bit cheaper and we still get a pretty hefty profit margin

here in our store.

It always takes a hero, one store to go, wait a minute, oil prices are down, the war has

calmed.

I'm going to go to $3.80, pow!

That store would then get a good flood of business, wouldn't it?

And those downward market pressures would leave the other stores to lower their prices

as well.

That's the way it's supposed to work.

Does it?

Does it?

$866, $660, $575, $9, a land equivalent.

The war in Iran has increased risk in the region, especially around the street of Hormuz,

which is a key passage for global oil shipments.

Experts say more risk means higher costs and that trickles down to not just gas, but to

get anything that relies on fuel to move from airline tickets to grocery items.

Triple A Texas says prices are likely, though, not close to a point where drivers will

start canceling planned trips.

It's outrageous, I mean, I don't believe this should be happening.

You need to see more.

Oh, blesses heart.

I've just stick a camera in people's faces, but by the way, that's valid.

Hey, what do you think about gas prices?

It's outrageous.

I don't think this should be happening.

Um, okay, what, what the, the, the war should make, maybe follow up question, that the war

shouldn't be happening.

All right.

So, hey, here's the trade off.

Gas is, is 50 cents cheaper, but the Iranian regime still exists wanting to kill you.

If you'd want to make or not a trade off, you'd want to make market trends.

And what our hope is is that the aggression that we've seen in Iran, the attacks on their

neighboring Gulf states, the impact that we've seen on energy infrastructure in the Middle

Eastern countries, we hope is short lived.

What's this started in my California?

Yes, it's Todd Staples used to be in the, in the state house.

He's now doing it used to be in the state, in the state Senate.

He's done now operating as a kind of a, the spokes guy for a, for an oil industry consulting

group.

Look at that.

Way to go, Todd.

It prices like five to six dollars.

Yeah, it's just going to, it's just going to work at home.

Yeah, this is tough for drivers, especially with spring break around the corner.

What we're seeing now is still nowhere close though to our record high, which do you have

to be saw back in summer of 2022.

That is when prices climbed to $4 and 84 cents just a few months after Russia's invasion

of Ukraine.

You know, experts recommend some simple steps like driving a little smoother, planning

your routes a little better and keeping your car maintained as much as possible to stretch

your gas tanks.

All right, very, very good.

Let's see here on the text line, I'm going to buy gas all day long because it's the only

reliable, affordable, dense energy that'll get me there back and beyond in the comfort

of my pickup hole in my goods down the road.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So five, seven, five, nine thoughts on gas, thoughts on the rough road that lies ahead

in a couple of ways, maybe some even some supply chain stuff, some things going on.

War creates challenges.

It always has.

It always will.

I think those are going to play out.

And the political story by Dacia Burns and Liz Cranpton about President Trump's delayed

endorsement in the Texas Senate race latest on that as well.

It is age 20, Mark Davis 660, I mean, answer.

Well, we got to do some Boston for two reasons.

So it's 1976.

This record comes out.

Remember the hit off the first Boston album, more than a feeling.

Remember it a long time, remember, peace of mind, just a remarkable sound.

The vocals of Brad Delp and the guitar work and production of Tom Sholes.

It is Tommy Sholes's birthday.

He is 79 and the only original guy you'll find on stage with Boston.

So Brad Delp, so here comes two reasons to invoke a little Boston and play some of

their playlist, one involving birth, one involving death.

Tom Sholes, birthday, 79 years old today.

The death story, Brad Delp, one of the underrated and incredible vocalists, I think in rock

history, in 2007, he killed himself in his apartment by firing up grills in the bathroom.

Anyway, almost immediately Boston has to go looking for a for a new lead singer.

And a young man named Tommy De Carlo had sent something to Tom Sholes as like a tribute

to Boston because he just loved Brad Delp so much and sang like him, which is a tall

order.

I mean, it's like Arnell Pena to do in Steve Perry.

I mean, those are some tough vocals to emulate.

And before too long, Tommy De Carlo found himself as the lead singer of Boston from like 2007

until his death day before yesterday, Tommy De Carlo died at 60.

So anyway, just a little, a little, a little Boston for you on that playlist as we examine

various things in the news, 866, 660, 5759.

So oh, somebody has something interesting on the text line.

Why if we are so energy independent, why is our gas still going up?

We're supposed to be energy independent, not relying on other countries as much.

Now the US is energy independent in the key sense that we have been a net exporter of total

petroleum since 2019, but that independence doesn't fully isolate us from global oil prices

for a couple of reasons.

So let me lay these out.

We'll hop into the 830 news, come back out and talk about some other stuff in the news

and things on the phone.

If you 866, 660, 5759, reason number one, oil trades on a single global market.

So when supply risks appear anywhere, straights of hormones, which carries as we've all learned

about 20% of global seaborne oil, traders bit up the price of every barrel worldwide, including

the ones that US refiners buy or produce domestically.

Number two, refineries use a mix of crude types.

US shale produces mostly what you call light sweet crude, but a lot of Gulf Coast refineries

are designed for heavier, I guess, sour crude, often imported from Canada or elsewhere.

So gasoline prices are crude cost plus refining margin, plus distribution, plus taxes,

plus seasonal factors.

So there you go.

In the current surge, stems from the escalating US Israel conflict with Iran.

And so that is something that made the bottom line energy independence means that we are

far less vulnerable than we were 15, 20 years ago.

We no longer send trillions of dollars overseas for oil and now, and you give high oil prices

now, that can generate domestic revenue and jobs, but it does not create sort of a sequestered

America only gasoline market, makes sense?

Okay, good question.

That's why the text line is here, 866, 660, 5759, which is also the number you use to

call us, which people have done.

So let's take their calls next on various things in the news.

Mark Davis, 830, into the newsroom we go, and here's Mary Rose.

She's real fine, my four-night, she's real fine, my four-night, my four-night.

Yeah, it felt like finding a song that was a salute to the internal combustion engine,

but in 1962, Beach Boys, a tribute to the Chevy 409 cubic inch V8.

Yeah, body 866, 660, 5759, internal combustion engines in the news, but gas price is going

up.

What do you think about that?

We are in McKinney.

Mary, hey, Mark Davis, welcome.

How are you?

Good morning.

Thanks for having me.

You know, it seems like, instead of gripping, people should look at the high-guys gas prices

is our cost of the war, and it's what we can contribute to support our troops.

Every time I see a high gas price, it reminds me to pray for those in harm's way, and it's

my war effort.

You know, there is something, I'm very touched by that, I remember my mom and dad talking

about the incredible sacrifices of World War II, when there were things that you just couldn't

get to the cost of things went up, the availability of some things just completely vanished.

And I remember they both said, I mean, my dad was born in 1931, my mom in 34, they're

kids during the war, and they said that their parents taught them that if this was just

a little sacrifice, if life got a smidge harder, but we could beat the Germans or beat the

Japanese, it was well worth it.

Exactly.

Exactly.

So, I think that's what we're going to do, I think we're going to have a great conversation

under God, and when we are, have people in harm's way that are part of our nation, then

we all should be, you know, on one page and work together, and not gripping complain, but

look at it as the least I can do.

Mary, that is uplifting.

Thank you, and I let I know.

I know.

I know.

It's like, but it is.

It's only be a month or two.

If it's a few weeks, if it's a month or two of higher gas prices, that's not fun for

anybody.

But if that's the unavoidable, I'm actually, I'm actually a phrase of the way I did just

the good.

Would you take it back?

Would you say, okay, gas is still going to be $0.50 cheaper, but Ali Hameini is still

alive.

You want that?

If this is the price of a war effort that creates some market instability, and this

is the literal price of it, isn't that overall worth it?

Another great question on the on the text line, how is it that gas prices are going up so

quickly?

Is it just the gas has been in the ground for weeks?

Was it just shipped or produced within the last two weeks?

The gas that is in the ground at your local convenience store gas station, yes indeed,

it is indeed already paid for.

But there is a practice in the industry, what's it called?

Is it the rocket and the feather prices go up like a rocket and drift back down like

a feather?

They'll go up immediately and take forever to come back down as we were just talking.

The reason that happens, and I kind of get this, let's say you and I own a convenience

store and all of these market forces come to pass in the price of it.

So you know that your next oil ship, your next gas shipment, you know the next one is

going to be way more expensive than this one was, then you're going to go ahead and

jack the prices up and see can sock a little bit of money away for that next gas purchase.

I can understand an individual business doing that for all of them to somehow know they

can get away with it.

I know it will strike many as collusion, but it's just, it's the practice, it's what

there is.

It's what they can do.

It's what they can do.

So they do it.

866, 660, 575, 9, we're in Dallas and Don, Mark Davis, welcome.

How are you?

Good morning, Mark.

Hey, I'm not, I'm not a Trump supporter of any means that I was leery when the war started

because I don't generally trust him, but when he came out and said we're going to,

you know, we're going to just decimate the government and the people can take over for

a little bit there.

I had a little bit of hope because the 10% or 20% of hardliners that control the 80% of

the people there that hate them, but now it really looks like those guys are probably

going to stay in charge.

And I think probably Trump maybe bought us five years because I ran, compared to some

of the other countries we dealt with, you know, recent 20 years is a country of 90 billion

people with a much bigger industrial output and machinery and everything that exists.

I believe that, you know, maybe he bought us five years, which is I guess good, but I

don't know, I don't know that anything has really ultimately for the long term change.

Well, I would think five years is a long term change.

And also in something in a situation where we're not 100% sure what things are going to

look like in six months or a year, it's, I think it's hard to say that whether he's bought

us five years or 10 or two, I'll take it.

It's better than the way the five years would have been with the existing theocratic

mullahs in charge and the threats to America and the threats to Israel are instantly mathematically

reduced, which is absolutely worth it.

The deleterious effect on China and Russia makes it absolutely worth it.

So yeah, sure, we all, we all hope for the best.

Is there a guarantee of peace and prosperity and Jeffersonian democracy in Iran for the

rest of our lives?

Nope, but it'll be better.

Yeah, I just like I said, I'm 54 years old and I felt like the thing has just been going

on my entire life.

You're right.

It's exactly true or at least, at least most of it.

And I'm intrigued.

I want to thank you for the upfront revelation there.

You've not a Trump supporter at all.

And yet you took a look at this and said, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to

shelve my low opinion of the president and sort of take a look at this on its merits

and hope at least that this winds up being a really good thing that he has done.

And I, I, I appreciate that.

Right on.

I sure will.

It just sounds thrilled.

It's six, it's six, six, six, six, seven, five, seven, five, nine.

We are in Burleson, Tate.

My brother.

How you doing?

Good morning.

Uh, Mr. Davis.

This, you know, at the gas pump yesterday and pumping in at 350, a gallon gas.

I was wondering when will I see one of those Trump didn't have stickers on the phone.

Gotcha.

This is me.

I mean, this whole war has been ill conceived.

He has not articulated from the American public why we actually went to war, of course,

yes.

Of course he has.

Do you not pay attention?

Uh, yes.

I wasn't.

Okay.

I, I, I, I can obliterate it.

I can help you.

The, the first time the, uh, Iraq nuclear capabilities, however, we went, bombed them again

because of either, either Israel was attacking first or either the, the, the very good

question that, that lurks in there is if we supposedly downgraded and decimated Iran's

nuclear capability, a few months ago, how, how did they, how did they get so competent

again, so quickly, combination of things, uh, if they're really good at rebuilding things

that are important to them, or, and this is one, I'll stipulate, maybe we didn't obliterate

it as much as we thought we did either way.

That's where we are.

Iran remained, uh, a threat on the near horizon.

It was worth doing something about.

Would you rather that we just leave the Iranian regime intact?

Well, our rather than we kept the nuclear deal that we had under President Obama in fact,

really, well, which, which, which, which would mean that the Iranian regime would still

be there and would probably have nukes by that, and it would probably be there every

gone.

So what we do.

Well, now, guess what?

Now they won't.

Isn't this better?

Well, you believe that Iran has a nuclear program anymore right now?

Yes.

Wow.

They are, they are collaborating with Russia, they are collaborating with China, and

there's just a speed bump in their, uh, their dreams of acquiring a nuclear weapon.

How much, but listen, they're, they're burning desire to have one is beyond doubt.

And that is why we needed to go to war to have them think ill of that, to disabuse them

of the notion that we were going to allow that to happen.

Why do you think that they will be so, uh, nothing's easy, I know, but why do you think

that they will, uh, rear their heads at the Phoenix will rise from the ashes and they'll

be a nuclear threat again so soon.

Why?

Based on history, every time you have US intervention and abilities, it doesn't end well

for the United States.

Haven't you noticed that this one seems a little different and looks a lot different

and we're not going to have a forever war in this one.

And the president's already said that the military part of this might be over pretty

soon.

And the only reason why he's saying it because the American public is strongly against

this, uh, intervention.

I mean, I wouldn't say that.

I think that the, what the president went in, he did, he did not envision being in a

Naranian war a year from now.

Well, I mean, he has said a lot of things he didn't envision, but we do know that the

man is not being truthful to his words.

Do you want, do you want this, do you want the war to succeed?

Oh, yeah.

I want the war to be over.

Okay.

No, no, no, no.

Okay.

Well, but no, I mean, to be over with and to end, and to be a success.

What does it say?

It's like, that's the, that's the point.

Uh, nobody in America knows what I've, once again, I can, I can, I, my dog knows what

success looks like.

It looks like it.

Well, well played, well played, it looks like an, an Iranian nuclear capability that

is defanged.

It looks like an Iranian regime that is less of a threat.

And if we can have those things within months, I think that'll be well, well worth it.

All right, it's 6666505759, uh, as we owe to Decatur, Josh, Mark Davis, welcome.

How are you, sir?

I'm doing great, man.

So I want to talk about the price of, uh, of gas, can you go to the gas station?

It's not what they paid for the fuel and they're charging you according to what they

paid for the fuel in the tanks.

They're going to charge you what it's going to cost them to replace the fuel that's in

the ground.

Yep.

Does that, that next shipment is never far away.

They're, they're trading on futures, but they're anticipating their cost to be.

So what if in, in view of, in view of that, what, what is your thought on once the, the

price of oil goes down, hopefully let, let's, let's pick a time.

Here we are.

The, the middle of March.

So the middle of May, let's be optimistic about this.

But, you know, I'm not, I'm not against profit.

No, me neither.

It's going to happen.

That's the market.

You know, companies are profit driven.

I'm profit driven.

You know, but, you know, I was thinking about this with the gas and the, in the ground.

My truck, one of my trucks is a seven three diesel.

It's worth a lot more to me than what I can sell it for because to replace this would

cost me a lot more than what it cost me when I bought it.

Yep.

That makes perfect sense.

Josh, thanks.

Appreciate it.

Best everybody in Decatur.

Scott, Mark Davis.

Welcome.

How are you, sir?

Happy Tuesday.

Good morning, Mark.

Hey, real quick.

We're quick.

If one of our, any of our previous presidents would have shown nearly the spine and leadership

that Trump has shown on, on this issue, we probably wouldn't have a nuclear North Korea.

Whoa.

I, I, I, I, I very much agree with what Trump is doing.

Okay.

Well, but, hey, thank you, but be how would, how would a display of spine and strength in

some past decade have prevented a nuclear North Korea?

That would have involved an American president doing what?

Well, I mean, you would have had to be willing to do what Trump is doing right now.

I mean, it would have been very uncomfortable and everything, but there was, there's no reason

we should have ever allowed that nut in North Korea to obtain a nuclear bomb.

Easy to say.

We should never allow these religious nuts.

Oh, okay.

There was a sesame street will sometimes say one of these things is not like the other.

What made North Korea nuclear is their alliance with China.

I would suggest that, that getting, you know, going up to China is a lot different than,

than, than making the rubble bounce in Tehran.

Again, I, I, I mean, we could argue this all day long because I want to get something on

Pakistan.

But the, I just don't, China wouldn't have pushed all their quarters in on North Korea.

Real quick on Pakistan before I run out of time.

Sure.

But before I was a hunt voter, I've talked to you about term limits.

That was mainly the reason I was going for it.

I do believe it was absurd.

But I'm, I'm struggling with it.

But ultimately, I am going to go with Pakistan mainly because of term limits.

You cannot be in office since 2002.

You know, it's just time for, Corning to, you know, it's time for change.

And when does that, which is an individual choice, everybody gets to make it.

And I think it's going to remain my favorite thing when the people decide to, to, to limit terms.

When will the clock run out on Ted Cruz?

Well, I mean, again, I would, if, if, if, if Gil or hunt were to run again, I would be 100% supportive of them.

You know, as far as I'm concerned, the time is running out on, on, on, on, on him.

Really?

Really?

Really?

Absolutely.

Just, just because I called you, I called you several times before.

Corning, Corning has always been my senator.

Right.

So I, I've never bought off on that idea that Corning's anti-second amendment or any of the other nonsense that I'm strictly going to get Corning more.

So because you cannot be in office since 2000.

All right.

Scott, thanks.

This is crazy.

Me.

You, you, you cannot be in office for 24 years is the gentleman's point.

My point is, yes, you can.

If you're, if your name is Ted Cruz, you can.

And if that's what he wants to do, a Brandon Gil wants to be my congressman for another 20, 35 years.

I'm prepared to let, and then I know I know is turnover for the sake of turnover.

Good.

Yeah.

And by the way, if there's some people who say, listen, there's nothing necessarily wrong with this guy.

But here's the thing.

The guy made it, the gentleman made it continued on something.

And that is a really good viable alternative than if a Wesley Hunt or a, or a Brandon Gil were to offer himself up for the Senate.

That would mean that you could, that you could punt Ted Cruz and still have somebody with some, some comparable conservatism fill that void.

All righty.

Let's, let's fill this void at 8.50 on mark day of a 6.60 AM.

Yeah.

Chris Robinson of the black crow's in wiser time.

A little petal steel makes any record better.

All right, let's do this.

We got folks, folks, folks, folks on the phone.

And so sit tight, you would increase into the nine o'clock news.

We're going to have a little chat about some fascinating cases making the way through our judicial system with the GW law professor John Banshaft compelled speech.

The freedom, the freedom to speak also contains the freedom not to speak.

The freedom not to have words stuffed into your mouth.

There's a Virginia bill that would have teachers mandated to say January 6 was an insurrection.

And that gets us to about five or six other cases where you are compelled to say things or to make statements or to take positions.

Et cetera, et cetera.

We'll take a look at those.

And then right back to your calls for a festive toe tap in nine o'clock hour.

Let's go 8666 6605759.

Hop in that line.

We'll talk to the professor and then we'll talk to you on 6.60 AM.

The answer I'm Mark Davis 858.
