[3:27] Yeah.
[3:29] Yeah.
[3:30] Oh.
[3:30] Tells me the hard-ass were pleased with my welfare stand-up.
[3:49] Not everybody heard about it.
[3:59] What do they think of the crowd at the mall down there?
[4:15] Do they mention that or do they see it?
[4:21] It's awful.
[4:21] They shouldn't fight veterans.
[4:27] We're getting many points out of Dillman.
[4:29] Some of those folks in the cabin kind of got around.
[4:37] That's the word.
[4:38] The idea is somebody they know darn well will run away from the meeting and they're going to go out and talk to us.
[4:52] We've got also some more jobs.
[4:56] I mean, I'm inviting ships starting to go up in that space.
[5:05] All right.
[5:07] We've got no use for the concentration camp.
[5:16] The concentration camp is just the same as the Moscow one.
[5:28] So, I told Bob this morning, I don't know what it was, I don't know what it was, I don't know what it was, I don't know.
[5:49] They want to help me, but they don't want to help these people with their sponge and gold working off the others.
[6:00] I'm good.
[6:04] It's helpful particularly to get into the personal deceit.
[6:08] There was a lot of speech writing on here, and of course I had to do some things on my own.
[6:13] And also a lot of the kids from Rio Grande High School, you know, had to stop.
[6:19] I have a little story here.
[6:20] A fellow speech writer who does this said, you know, I'll take the price of the pros and then it's fine too.
[6:26] A little pro, a little of that.
[6:28] A little Leanne, a little of that.
[6:32] That can get around.
[6:33] Another thing that you might do is get back to the area that Bob was going to have really done.
[6:41] Not only that, but all the Republican members, the Congress, and all this other kind of thing.
[6:53] This is an issue that really strikes home right now.
[6:58] They're very behind back in the welfare industry.
[7:01] It's a lot of money.
[7:04] And I'm proud of my mom, of course, and I'm very proud of her.
[7:13] Of course, the best part of everything.
[7:15] I guess, you know, that's what married as far as the truth.
[7:18] In fact, the trouble is, it penalizes itself.
[7:22] It's a lot harder than ours.
[7:24] It's a lot harder than our situation.
[7:26] It's a lot harder than our situation.
[7:28] It's a lot harder than our situation.
[7:30] That's a good call.
[7:33] Now check up today.
[7:51] Check up today to see what's happening.
[7:53] These guys now, they can't make this shit go out in the world.
[7:57] They talk about courage now.
[7:58] This is a profile from courage now.
[8:00] That's when they do that.
[8:02] Check today and have a goal or somebody, somebody just want to make a speech and do it.
[8:06] It's better.
[8:06] I don't know where I'm in here as a free Democrat.
[8:10] They won't stand up to be counted on either side.
[8:12] Things are what I think they're doing.
[8:15] So, that's it.
[8:18] That's it.
[8:19] That's it.
[8:20] That's it.
[8:21] Well, now let's see what they did today.
[8:23] They have to go today.
[8:28] They didn't table it.
[8:32] Let's come down a little.
[8:37] Good.
[8:38] Oh, yeah.
