[0:15] What is it, about an hour and a half by now?
[0:16] Yeah.
[0:16] I'll do most of it then.

[0:20] It's worth it to be, uh, you know, 11, uh, you know, 10 or something.
[0:22] Yeah, it's not much.
[0:29] Is that a red road today?
[0:33] Yep.
[0:33] And what are the latest thoughts on that?
[0:41] I'm not getting serious.
[0:45] I guess we're out of time now, you know?
[0:48] Oh, I think that's fair.
[0:50] Yeah.
[0:50] All of the plans, you know, about how many will be there and so forth, we've got to go forward and press forward.
[0:56] Right.
[0:57] Okay, I understand the issue, I do.
[0:57] Right.
[0:58] Right.
[0:58] It's too late to do any work on that.
[0:59] Those people, they don't need to do anything with them anymore.
[1:13] They're not, they're our people.
[1:22] They're our people.
[1:22] They're working people, not public people.
[1:35] Yeah.
[1:49] Yeah, if you want to, we can probably get a set up here.
[1:59] Yeah, I'm going to go to the front.
[2:03] I'm going to go back.
[2:03] Okay.
[2:09] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
[2:43] Yeah.
[2:49] Yeah.
[2:59] Yeah.
[3:05] Yeah.
[3:09] Yeah.
[3:13] You're well paid, but there's a lot of, you know, tough police force.
[3:25] It makes a difference, you know.
[3:32] The police force is tough.
[3:34] You know, I'm not expecting a lot.
[3:35] I didn't see that.
[3:36] We've seen people lost yesterday and in October.
[3:37] The story, yes.
[3:37] You see, it's just Hawaii.
[3:38] It's just, you know, you've been tied right to it.
[3:39] And all of a sudden, we're writing about what we're doing on the ground.
[3:42] I am.
[3:43] Well, they have to realize that it's not permanent.
[4:08] It's certainly not the same one that they've got it.
[4:13] You know what I mean?
[4:33] Good God, demonstrators, violence, and all that sort of thing.
[4:39] What the hell are they talking about?
[4:40] But what happens, aren't they?
[4:42] What the hell do you think?
[4:48] Do you think they were behind that?
[4:51] Of course they were, sir.
[4:53] I think that's a perfect answer on that.
[4:54] You know, once they know you've been serving those Germans, do you think they're from government people or they're serving that type of people?
[5:00] Sure, and that occurred in that Los Angeles episode.
[5:02] The time was just correctly approved.
[5:03] They're making a call to other headquarters.
[5:18] I mean, it's not to get the goddamn issue right out there, so that there's no question about what the hell this election is about.
[5:33] You know what I mean?
[5:33] There's been a tendency, really, to forget.
[5:35] You know, they forget what the hell that this son of a bitch has been for amnesty, and fuck out, and all the rest.
[5:40] He's trying to debate, and the rest of all of that went on for a while.
[5:43] Do you agree?
[5:44] I mean, our graduation, it's there, and it's been around, but it's brought us back up, certainly resurrected.
[5:48] The whole issue of, uh, the whole issue, Bob, of, uh, no question I haven't seen answer any of the stats there, no.
[5:58] And no question about, about the D.O.W.
[6:01] release that said, well, I'm going to be a bomber in Thailand.
[6:08] I'm sure he had a hell of a, hell of a lot of leverage there.
