[0:30] So, that's what I want to check with you. [0:51] Basically, the thing comes from, you know, credit for the use of the word. [0:54] According to the fact that not all of it is the word, but one thing we can be sure of is the price increases or the inflation. [0:57] We'll continue to attend one of the fighting groups, I'll say, on this. [1:13] At that point, in fact, was one who, well over a year ago, advocated controls to deal with inflation. [1:18] was the one who insisted on the board so that they would be represented. [1:20] They had been represented. [1:21] They had been participating. [1:22] And now, apparently, because they began their way on the longshore settlement, [1:23] where the increase was reduced from 21% to 15%. [1:38] They've now walked away from their responsibilities. [1:42] The media said he was getting fed up on another R&D argument. [1:47] He was just getting fed up with it. [1:47] He didn't want to work on it again to pursue the fight against the question. [1:49] Now, they use relatively mild language, but [1:53] Good quote. [1:58] I wonder if you've got a quote so far. [2:13] I'll have one when I'm done, I'm sure. [2:14] We intend to continue. [2:14] If you do, we should invite you to some questions. [2:15] I'm just a... [2:21] Say the leaders of this government, a few labor leaders, representing only a small percent of the 80 million American wage earners, who will not be allowed to set up a [2:53] against the plague in a high cost of living. [3:11] That fight will continue. [3:16] And the President of the United States, the President of the United States, take this down. [3:19] And not a lot, cannot, will not a lot. [3:20] and he leaves a flavor for men, no matter how powerful, to put himself above the law of the land and the best members of the majority of the United States. [3:52] We'll not be allowed to. [4:06] No. [4:08] We'll not be allowed. [4:11] We're not going to be allowed to sabotage the nation. [4:22] If that pipe will go forward, we're gonna do it. [4:30] Okay, okay. [4:31] Fine, yes sir.
