By the way, just one thing I wanted to add. When we took down the Soviet Union, we did have an ace in the hole. They had been greatly weakened on every front, morally, spiritual stuff, their economy, the basis for the way they controlled the satellite countries. We defunded them through the oil and gas and even their ability to sell arms that anybody wanted out across the world. But we... took rubles that we purchased from them and flooded them back into their economy. And so from the time that we started to the time we were done, it was really only about four months. And it was so rapid, so near instantaneously that they just didn't have a chance to respond. And of course, what President Trump is doing right now is causing that kind of a rapid change, not a slow change where they can adapt. And so when we say, keep pouring it on because as much as they want to adapt, this situation is morphing very quickly. If there's a genius behind the methodology, it's that we don't let up and don't, you know, got to keep tension on the line right up to the point where we get an agreement. And it's not quite the same as the situation with Japan at the time where World War II started. I think it is a bit different. And you even see it in the talk about the weapons. They're putting things out to make China have to think again. Do we really understand what the military technological capabilities are in the U.S.? Or are they thinking a little bit too far back? But, Patrick, you're... tremendous ally. And so I don't know that we would have gotten through this, even with all the people throwing in and trying to help you, we're there to bridge through on some critical stuff, including these people that we had to take care of till we could get to Trump being back in and then bring him in to bring the evidence. But more importantly, even now, you're still needed. I don't think that the almighty has done and there's still stuff that you're here to do. So father God, I pray that you would work miraculously within Patrick's physical body. We thank you for the sharp mind and the clarity that he's brought to so many situations around the country and his willingness to be a utilized at critical moments in our history as a country that in many ways are only known to you. Even the people who may have interacted with him and worked with him would not be fully aware of his heart's at, his thoughts and focus that they just wouldn't understand, but you do. I pray, Father God, that you would work within his physical body, weave all those parts correctly back together, and that his immune system and his body functions would be precisely as designed from the beginning and even better, and that you would give the doctors and the staff, the people working with him, great insight, intuitiveness in order to suss out anything that needs to be dealt with, with what they have available. and that you would preserve and protect him and make perfect provision for him, restore not only that which he has given both physically and mentally and even within the resources that he was given, but as a good steward that you would bless it and double it down and more so that he can continue the work that you have for him past this administration, even out into the future. We thank you for him. Thank you for the way that you work through Not just him, but the people you put around him and giving him just great people. And some of those staff need your assistance, protection, and healing hand also. So thank you for him. Ask you to bless him. Make that perfect provision. In Jesus' name, amen.
