Army soldier who attempted to assist ISIS in killing US troops learns his fate
A U.S. Army soldier has been sentenced to 14 years in prison having pleaded guilty to attempting to assist the Islamic State terror group on how to ambush his fellow soldiers in the Middle East during conversations in which he believed he was speaking with a terrorist.
Cole Bridges, 24, of Stow, Ohio, was handed down the sentence after a nearly five-hour Manhattan federal court proceeding in which he surprisingly requested he be given a maximum 40-year sentence. Bridges pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in June 2023.
“Honestly, I do believe that I deserve the maximum sentence,” Bridges told Judge Lewis J. Liman. “I know what I did was wrong,” he said, adding he would carry “regret for as long as I live.”

Liman cited numerous facts that he said demonstrated Bridges was “not a hardened criminal” and said he had no actual communications with the Islamic State organization.
Bridges, also known as Cole Gonzales, was assigned to the Third Infantry Division in Fort Stewart, Georgia, as a cavalry scout at the time of the crime, the Justice Department said. He joined the Army in September 2019.
According to court documents, about a year before he joined the Army, Bridges began researching and consuming online propaganda promoting jihadists and their violent ideology, and began to express his support for ISIS and jihad on social media.
About a year into his service, Bridges began communicating with an FBI online covert employee (OCE), who was posing as an ISIS supporter in contact with ISIS fighters in the Middle East. During these communications, Bridges expressed his frustration with the U.S. military and his desire to aid ISIS, per the court documents.
Bridges provided training and guidance to purported ISIS fighters who were planning attacks, including advice about potential targets in New York City. He also provided the OCE with portions of a U.S. Army training manual and guidance about military combat tactics, with the understanding that the materials would be used by ISIS in future attack planning.

Bridges also began supplying the OCE with instructions for the purported ISIS fighters on how to attack U.S. forces in the Middle East, including diagramming military maneuvers intended to help ISIS fighters maximize the lethality of future attacks on U.S. troops.
He also gave advice about the best way to fortify an ISIS encampment to ambush U.S. Special Forces, including by wiring certain buildings with explosives to kill the U.S. troops.
In January 2021, Bridges provided the OCE with a video of himself in his U.S. Army body armor standing in front of a flag often used by ISIS fighters and making a gesture symbolic of support for ISIS.
Around a week later, Bridges sent a second propaganda video he narrated using a voice manipulator in support of the anticipated ambush by ISIS on U.S. troops.
Judge Liman said the 14-year sentence would deter other members of the armed forces who might want to attack the military. He said Bridges had “shown signs of remorse,” including expressing relief after his arrest that he had been dealing with the FBI rather than terrorists.

Bridges, the judge added, also had not sought any materials from other soldiers that might be useful to the Islamic State organization. He said the “most chilling evidence” was Bridges’ willingness to provide the undercover agent with advice on how the terrorist group could minimize casualties in an attack.
His attorney, Sabrina Shroff, asked Friday that he be sentenced to the nearly four years he has already served behind bars and argued for leniency because Bridges was lured into the plot by undercover U.S. law enforcement agents who posed as supporters of the Islamic State group.
She said Bridges was a vulnerable target who was seeking a sense of community after becoming isolated from his family and suffering from depression.
The White House on Saturday released a report from Vice President Kamala Harris’ doctor declaring her to be in “excellent health.”
The report, which was previewed by a senior Harris campaign aide, comes as the 59-year-old Democratic nominee seeks to contrast herself with former President Trump, 79, who has not made recent health disclosures.
“Vice President Harris remains in excellent health,” wrote her Army physician, Dr. Joshua R. Simmons. “She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.”
VP HARRIS RELEASING DETAILED MEDICAL REPORT, CHALLENGING TRUMP TO DO THE SAME
Advisers to Harris encouraged her office to release her medical history and health information to put a spotlight on Trump’s health and mental acuity, since the 78-year-old Republican nominee would be the oldest president at the end of his potential second term, according to a senior aide.
President Biden, 81, withdrew from the 2024 presidential election in July amid pressure from the Democratic Party given concerns over his advanced age and visible fatigue. Since then, Democrats have sought to go on offense against Trump with what was once their election vulnerability.
During an August interview with CBS News, Trump insisted that he would “gladly” release his medical records, noting at the time that he had a “perfect score” on a recent medical exam. He has not yet done so.

The letter from Dr. Simmons calls Harris’ most recent medical exam in April 2024 “unremarkable.” The vice president has no major health issues and “maintains a healthy, active lifestyle despite her busy schedule,” including daily exercise. Harris eats a “very healthy diet,” does not smoke and drinks “only occasionally and in moderation,” according to her doctor.
TOP 5 FRIENDLIEST MOMENTS FROM KAMALA HARRIS’ MEDIA BLITZ: ‘THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES’
“Vice President Harris is a healthy 59-year-old female who has a medical history notable for seasonal allergies and urticaria,” the letter states. Urticaria is a common skin condition that can cause itchy, red raised bumps or welts to appear on the skin. It can be triggered by certain foods, medications or stress. Harris takes Allegra to manage her allergies and urticaria, and for the past three years she has undergone allergen immunotherapy (ATI).
Other details from the report include that Harris is nearsighted and wears corrective contact lenses, that she has a family history of colon cancer (her mother died of colon cancer in 2009) and that she is “up to date on all preventative care recommendations, including colonoscopy and annual mammograms.”
WHY TRUMP IS HEADED INTO ‘THE BELLY OF THE BEAST’: THE STREATEGY BEHIND HIS BLUE STATE STOPS
The decision to release Harris’ medical information comes after a New York Times report asserted that Trump has not been transparent with his own health, even after a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed his head at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania this past July.
Trump did not release his medical records in his first White House campaign in 2016, the report notes. Neither did the Trump White House release accurate updates on his condition after a 2020 COVID diagnosis, with reports detailing that the president was more sick than his doctors said in public, according to the report.
“In 2024, days before becoming the official Republican presidential nominee for the third time, he was grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet, yet his campaign did not hold a briefing on his condition, release hospital records or make the emergency physicians who treated him available for interview,” the report said. It goes on to quote several medical experts who raise concerns that Trump could enter the Oval Office in a second term with several “potentially worrisome issues.”

The last health update from Trump came in November 2023, when his personal doctor, Bruce Aronwald, said in a letter Trump’s “overall health is excellent.”
“His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional,” Aronwald wrote.
In response to a request for comment, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung pointed to the letter released by Aronwald and reports from former White House doctor Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, who treated Trump after the failed assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
“President Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician, as well as detailed reports from Dr. Ronny Jackson who treated him after the first assassination attempt,” Cheung said.
“All have concluded he is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief. He has maintained an extremely busy and active campaign schedule unlike any other in political history, whereas Kamala Harris has been unable to keep up with the demands of campaigning and reveals on a daily basis she is wholly unqualified to be President of the United States. Her schedule is much lighter because, it is said, she does not have the stamina of President Trump. Polls are reflective of this.”
Actress blasts Hollywood for failing Jews as antisemitism soars: ‘Are they that stupid?’
American actress Patricia Heaton is standing firm in her activism and leveraging her platform as a well-known star to bring awareness to the state of antisemitism across the U.S., especially on college campuses, and encourage Christians to visibly and vocally support Jews around the globe.
Heaton formed the October 7th Coalition (O7C) to activate Christians as supportive stewards of Jewish people and the right for Israel to exist and to fight antisemitism in the U.S.
“I grew up very, very Catholic, and I have a healthy fear of God,” Heaton told Fox News Digital during a video interview. “I do think about facing the Lord and answering for how I used what he gave me in service, especially to the Jewish people, to his chosen people.”
PATRICIA HEATON LEADS FIGHTBACK CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES: ‘HAVE TO STAND UP’
Since founding the grassroots nonprofit, Heaton has partnered with MyZuzah, an international organization that delivers Jewish people mezuzahs free of charge to promote the #Myzuzah/Yourzuzah campaign.
“We’ve had such a response, and this isn’t going away anytime soon,” Heaton said of the Israel-Hamas war.
A well-received response from Jews around the world who said they feel safe and unified with Christians encouraged Heaton to continue her efforts to promote the movement.
“We need to spread that feeling,” she said.
The “Everybody Loves Raymond” actress expressed scorn for federally funded college administrations that allow Jewish students in America to feel their religious rights are under attack by allowing antisemitic acts on campuses.
ACTRESS PATRICIA HEATON RALLIES CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY TO FIGHT ANTISEMITISM: ‘IT’S UP TO US’ TO DO SOMETHING
“What we’ve seen on college campuses from the administration has been horrendous, that they are not willing to support Jewish students,” she told Fox News Digital.
“I believe that if a campus allows this to continue that they should lose their federal funding because they’re breaking the law.
“It’s the law that you should be able to express yourself in this way. People with all different agendas and political belief systems are expressing themselves fully and loudly all the time, including students for ‘Justice in Palestine,’ and they’re doing it in a very violent way. And there doesn’t seem to be any pushback for them.”
Today, Heaton is encouraging all university students, especially Christians, to purchase and hang a Solidarity Mezuzah on a door frame. The encasement reveals a yellow ribbon that calls for the safe return of Israeli hostages who were captured Oct. 7, 2023, and are still held captive in Gaza over 365 days later.
Christians can show their support by filming a video of themselves hanging the mezuzah, tagging Heaton in the social media post and using #MyZuzahYourZuzah and #SpartacusMoment.
PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTEST BREAKS OUT INSIDE SENATE OFFICE BUILDING
“When everybody has them on their door, I think it sends the message that we’re not going to stand for it,” she said to Fox News Digital.
Amid the terror attacks inflicted on innocent Israeli civilians Oct. 7, 2023, Heaton said she watched social media in horror as Hamas terrorists “gleefully” captured, abused and violated Israeli men, women and children and shared their war crimes with the world.
“It was so shocking,” she said. “I remember thinking to myself, ‘Well, there’s going to be outrage. There’s going to be almost a George Floyd uprising over this because this is incredibly, insanely horrifying,’ and I didn’t see any response.”
The lack of outrage among Hollywood elites and churches inspired Heaton to initiate a response herself. Since then, she has connected Jews and Christians in Nashville, south of Miami, Los Angeles and Dallas. Heaton added that she received calls from Jewish federations around the world hoping to work with her to bring people together.
ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS SHUT DOWN SENATE CAFETERIA; AROUND 50 ARRESTED
“I don’t know why it affected me so much and not other people,” Heaton said. “I think people were horrified, but they think of it as something happening way over there in that foreign country that has nothing to do with us.”
Hollywood, in particular, jolted Heaton because she expected an uprising of Jewish support from celebrities.
“Every other single movement or event that happened that caused a national response, Hollywood was first in line,” Heaton said. “Given that so many of our fellow coworkers in Hollywood are Jewish, you would think that we’d all be circling the wagons for our Jewish friends in Hollywood.”
Heaton took aim at the commotion at the 2024 Academy Awards, where well-known members of the entertainment industry adorned their embellished attire with anti-Israel red hand pins.

The pins are a symbol of “brutality and human depravity,” according to Anne Bayefsky, president of Human Rights Voices and director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.
“I was stunned,” Heaton said to Fox News Digital. “I thought, ‘Are they that stupid?’ I hope it’s that they’re really stupid, because then you can forgive them for, ‘Oh you don’t understand what that means.’ If they know what it means, and they wear that pin, then they’re evil. They’re evil. So, I hope they’re just stupid.”
Bill Maher suggests VP Harris’ prospects for winning 2024 race are ‘not looking that great’
HBO host Bill Maher suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris’ prospects for winning the 2024 presidential election aren’t looking too good less than a month out from Nov. 5.
During Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the comedian commented on the state of the race, declaring that the fact that the Democratic Party is having to prod Black men into supporting Harris is a bad sign.
“And I gotta say it’s not looking that great for the Democrats,” he said at the start of his show Friday night.
KELLYANNE CONWAY: TRUMP VS. HARRIS: DON’T RULE OUT A ‘NARROW LANDSLIDE’
He continued, “This is not a good sign, you know – when you have an African American candidate, you probably shouldn’t be having to shore up your support among Black men, but that’s what’s going on.”
Harris’ challenges with appealing to Black male voters were especially pronounced this week when former President Barack Obama ripped into Black men during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh for not being as enthusiastic about Harris’ presidential bid as they were for his 2008 and 2012 political campaigns.
“We have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all corners of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” he said, elsewhere adding, “I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
On his program, Maher mocked the fact that the campaign is going to deploy Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., to speak to Black male voters directly.
“Tim Walz is headlining a voter engagement event tonight with Black men. Who better to connect with young Black men than Tim Walz?” he asked.
“Because apparently Michael Bublé was unavailable,” he quipped to raucous laughter.
BATTLEGROUND DEM WARNS TRADITIONAL VOTING BLOC BEING ‘SPLIT’ IN 2024
He added another punchline: “Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s like, ‘Hello?’”
Maher then brought up Obama’s recent comments, saying, “Obama even came out yesterday to scold. You know, he was scolding. Well, I don’t know – last month at the convention, he was, ‘No scolding!’ Now he’s scolding. He was saying, ‘You gotta vote for Harris.’”
He concluded the point with one last joke, stating, “But of course for some young – especially the younger Black men – it’s tough choice. Harris is African American but Trump has a sneaker line.”
Later during the episode, Maher spoke to his guest panel, including conservative commentator Buck Sexton and CNN host Laura Coates, about the Harris campaign’s problems more generally.
Reading from recent report on Harris’ polling, he said, “At this point in 2020, Biden – with far fewer resources than Harris has – was ten points ahead of Trump, and in 2016, Hillary was six up. And she is only 2.6 up. Pennsylvania – Biden was up seven at this point. She’s up one. Michigan – Biden was up eight and she’s tied.”

Former CBS News staffer lifts lid on story vetting process by network’s Race and Culture Unit
CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit needs to sign off on show scripts that could potentially offend particular viewers, according to a former staffer with knowledge of the process.
A former CBS employee told Fox News Digital the broadcast network’s Race and Culture Unit vetted “basically every story” that could potentially be considered culturally sensitive.
The former employee said show producers were “required” to send drafts of show scripts to an email chain with members of the Race and Culture Unit as well as the standards and practices unit and could only proceed if they signed off.
CBS News’ Race and Culture Unit has emerged as a hot-button issue in recent days after a report that “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil found himself in hot water for asking questions that were not cleared by the network’s Race and Culture unit.
JEWISH CBS ANCHOR FORCED TO MEET WITH RACE AND CULTURE UNIT AFTER GRILLING PRO-PALESTINIAN AUTHOR: REPORT
Dokoupil sparked an internal uproar earlier this month when he interviewed author Ta-Nehisi Coates about his book, “The Message,” which delved into his travels to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Dokoupil told Coates his heavily anti-Israel book – which has been criticized for omitting significant context about Palestinian terrorism and the Jewish state’s extraordinary security situation – read like something you would find in “the backpack of an extremist.” Dokoupil, who is Jewish, also pushed him on whether he believes Israel has the right to exist.
After news broke that liberal staffers objected to Dokoupil’s line of questioning, Puck media reporter Dylan Byers reported that the Race and Culture Unit didn’t approve of the anchor’s actions.
“Last Tuesday, while the CBS News leadership was consumed with the network’s vice presidential debate, the issue was elevated to the network’s Race and Culture unit, which was formed in the summer of 2020, amid the George Floyd reckoning, and determines whether the ‘tone, content, and intention’ of any segment or package are suitable for the network’s air,” Byers reported.
CBS NEWS JOURNALISTS HAVE ‘PREPRODUCTION PROCESS’ TO RUN QUESTIONS BY RACE AND CULTURE UNIT: REPORT
“The unit, led by Alvin Patrick, determined that while Dokoupil’s questions and intentions were acceptable, his tone was not,” Byers added. “Meanwhile, the network’s Standards and Practices division, led by Claudia Milne, determined that Dokoupil had not followed the preproduction process wherein questions are run through Race and Culture and Standards and Practices.”
CBS leadership informed staffers that Dokoupil’s interview didn’t meet the company’s “editorial standards,” the Free Press reported, which obtained audio of a staff meeting.
The CBS News Race and Culture Unit has “a four-pronged role at CBS News and Stations as a reviewer, an incubator, a producer and a library,” according to the CBS website. The unit sees its primary role as a reviewer to “ensure all stories have the proper context, tone and intention.”
CBS News did not respond to a Fox News Digital request when asked if “basically every story” needs to be vetted by the Race and Culture Unit.

The New York Times previously reported that Dokoupil ultimately had to meet with both the CBS News standards and practices team and the Race and Culture Unit following the interview.
Dokoupil eventually expressed regret for the interview causing tumult, but not for his line of questioning, according to the New York Times.
Mike Tyson’s message to embattled hip-hop mogul amid sex-trafficking scandal
Boxing great Mike Tyson recently reacted to the sex trafficking case involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.
At one point during a conversation with the Daily Mail, Tyson offered his best wishes to the incarcerated music mogul.
“Wait, I’m synonymous with Diddy? Well, that’s cool,” Tyson responded when he was informed his name had been associated with the record executive. “I never knew that.” Tyson was then asked if he wanted to share anything further. “I wish him the best. In life, I wish him the best,” the former world heavyweight champion replied.

The interview with Tyson was published on Friday. While Tyson has made numerous appearances alongside Combs over the years and has been photographed with the rapper, there is nothing on the record directly tying Tyson to any of the alleged illegal activities.
Fox News Digital contacted Tyson’s representatives for further comment but did not immediately receive a response.
During a 2023 appearance on the “PBD Podcast” podcast, Tyson jokingly referred to Combs as “Sugar Diddy.”
When podcast host Patrick Bet-David asserted that “so many people in music and Hollywood feared this guy ‘Diddy’, as if he’s untouchable,” Tyson responded, “Oh, sugar Diddy.”
JAKE PAUL MAKES $5M SIDE BET WITH MIKE TYSON IF HE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS FEAT IN FIGHT: ‘DEAL OR NO DEAL?’
Tyson then confirmed that he had known Combs “for a long time.”
“Just . . .I knew him for a long time,” Tyson said when Bet-David asked the boxer about his previous experiences with Combs. “Awesome guy. I knew him before he was Diddy and for a long time. When I first became champ, I knew him.”
Tyson also recalled his experience partying with Combs.
“I remember him he used to have crates when he’s at my after-parties and stuff. Also when they were throwing parties,” Tyson shared.
Meanwhile, Tyson continues to prepare for his highly anticipated fight with Jake Paul.
The boxing match was originally scheduled to take place on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. But Tyson experienced health complications during the summer, which forced the postponement. The bout was eventually rescheduled to Nov. 15.
Tyson, once known as “the baddest man on the planet,” has not fought competitively since his TKO loss to Kevin McBride in 2005. He did compete in an exhibition match with Roy Jones Jr. in July 2020.
Combs, 54, has been held at a federal jail in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest on charges that he used his “power and prestige” as a music star to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events dubbed “Freak Offs.”
The arrest and indictment followed a months-long sex trafficking investigation and 10 months after a flurry of women came forward with allegations of sexual and other abuse.
On Friday, a federal appeals court judge ruled to keep Sean “Diddy” Combs locked up while he makes a third bid for bail in his sex trafficking case, which is slated to go to trial in May.
In a decision filed on Oct. 11, Circuit Judge William J. Nardini denied the hip-hop mogul’s immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel weighs his bail request. Combs’ lawyers appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Sept. 30 after two judges rejected his bid for release.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges alleging he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.

Family finds ‘perplexing’ 84-year-old item in dead grandmother’s freezer
A family in Virginia was left amused — and a little bit confused — when they found an 84-year-old biscuit in the freezer of a recently deceased relative.
“Granny passed last month, September 2,” Andy Wiseman of Staunton, Virginia, told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview. (See the video at the top of this article.)
His grandmother was 90.
GEORGIA GRANDMA’S BISCUIT RECIPE VIDEO GOES VIRAL ON FACEBOOK
Wiseman received a text from his mother, who was in the process of cleaning out his grandmother’s home. She said she’d found something interesting: a frozen biscuit dating back to 1940.
“She actually found it with a bunch of other stuff in the freezer,” he said. “It’s quite perplexing.”
Wiseman took to Reddit and posted a picture of the discovery on the “Mildly Interesting” page — where it received a lot of attention and comments.
But questions remained as to who made the biscuit – and why it was kept for nearly a century.
There was, however, a clue.
Sealed in a bag with the rock-hard biscuit was a note reading, “Biscuit made by Mrs. Dara L Chambers in August 1940 at the Blankenship home.”
“I guess my grandmother just couldn’t throw it away.”
While the note was meant to inform the reader about the biscuit’s origins, all it did for Wiseman was spark additional questions. He did not know the names “Chambers” and “Blankenship.”
“We talked to my grandmother’s sister, Sally, and she gave us some information about those names, because they’re not family names we were familiar with,” he told Fox News Digital.
NORTH CAROLINA WOMAN EATS NOTHING BUT SARDINES, LOSES 35 POUNDS: ‘THIS IS NOT A DIET’
“It turned out to be my grandmother’s brother, Harold,” Wiseman said. “It was his first wife’s family’s biscuits.”
His grandmother’s sister, Wiseman said, found a newspaper clipping announcing Chambers’ death in 1940, the same year the biscuit was made.
“We believe it’s very likely, maybe, from her last batch,” he said. Wiseman and his mother believe that the biscuit is “probably an old soda biscuit,” but he is unsure of the exact recipe that was used.
“I’ve been learning more about biscuit history,” he joked. “I never knew this much about it.”
Wiseman still does not know why his grandmother kept the biscuit for as long as she did or when she even acquired the item.
“She wasn’t one to save,” he said. “She had downsized, and we really don’t know” why she kept it, he added.
WHY THE VIRAL TREND ‘FRIDGESCAPING’ COULD BE DANGEROUS, HEALTH EXPERTS SAY
Wiseman believes his Uncle Harold had held onto the biscuit for the majority of its lifespan. After Harold’s death, Wiseman’s grandmother likely picked it up and stuck it in her freezer — where it stayed until its discovery at the end of September.
“I guess my grandmother just couldn’t throw it away,” he said. It is also unlikely the biscuit was stashed and forgotten about, he said, as it was found “right in the door” of the freezer.
“It’s just a strange biscuit with no context around it,” Wiseman said. He added that it is “petrified and rock hard” and “smells like freezer.”
Wiseman and his mother do not have definite plans for what they plan on doing with the 84-year-old biscuit.
The “immediate plan is to leave it in (his mother’s) freezer,” he said. “And then my brothers and I can find it.”
The discovery of the biscuit, however, had an unexpected silver lining for Wiseman and his family: It’s kept his grandmother’s memory alive as they deal with their grief, he said.
“It’s been a lot of fun to talk about my grandmother. We all really loved her, and we miss her a lot.”
“It’s been kind of cathartic, I guess, or healing,” he said.

“It’s been a lot of fun to talk about the family history. It’s been a lot of fun to talk about my grandmother. We all really loved her and we miss her a lot.”
Wiseman’s grandmother, he said, would take the entire family out for pizza each month for a big family dinner.

Oct. 7, he said, “was the second one she’d missed. And she was very generous, and we all loved her and miss her. And it’s been a lot of fun talking about this.”
