[0:28] Yeah.
[0:28] Yeah.
[0:29] I don't even know, even though they're a little out of line, I didn't have to see any of it, but, uh, one of them comes to my party party, uh, reception for them.
[0:49] Right now, the rest of the base has been traded, but it's not going to change.
[0:50] Instead of having to re-examine it, uh, we're going to be having to re-examine it on the base and then re-examine it.
[0:53] In fact, it appears to me, the more I'm going to have to make a decision, the more it's going to get to me.
[0:55] And, uh, it's going to be a lot of patients that are gone.
[0:56] And I have no objection to doing it at all.
[1:16] I just, let me put it this way, I wouldn't have been able to do as much of a treatment as we did for Eisenhower, because we would be in a situation where we would inevitably be drawn otherwise.
[1:20] We have a war that we have to fight and try to make, and I know that you and I have connected this action in general to the service which I've made to you.
[1:23] But you've got to be sure that the state understands it.
[1:24] If they want to take that area after the gun, that's what they're going to do.
[1:26] It's a hard over here to travel just to have them all be through the reception line on coffee or whatever it is.
[1:41] It's a lot of that all over there.
[1:41] It's a typical ride.
[1:42] It's very time-consuming to travel.
[1:43] You see all that stuff.
[1:43] And then, um, it would be very well to, you know, stay because if they have any hits, it's not great.
[1:47] Thank you.
