[0:01] Well, I just wanted to thank you for your nice little comment at the meeting today.
[0:08] Yeah, you said, boy, it's all good.
[0:10] You feel all right after your trip?
[0:12] Good, good.
[0:12] Well, you know, actually, the country here is kind of drunk with the poor folks who, you know, I mean, you can report a lot of times, but in particular, you say you're one and a half.
[0:28] It's pretty solid, isn't it?
[0:31] You know, they all want to get the name of the war.
[0:35] They're beginning to realize we're doing it.
[0:36] You know what?
[0:37] I think we're our democratic race.
[0:39] They're afraid it might work.
[0:43] We'll try to get it done.
[0:45] Anyway, we'll do it.
[0:47] Keep the war in charge of us.
[0:53] All right.
[0:53] Bye.
