[3:26:57] Yeah, good, good.
[3:26:57] Well, that's all we need.
[3:27:26] They're not relevant to their problem.
[3:27:30] Okay, fine.
[3:27:31] Good evening.
[3:27:33] My name is...
[3:27:56] Tell him that he is the Lord.
[3:27:58] And he called me as all of these people are in place.
[3:28:07] Not a lot, but they are.
[3:28:10] You understand what I'm talking about?
[3:28:12] Yeah.
[3:28:12] And they're all in place.
[3:28:14] And they want me to call them.
[3:28:16] And they're all going to send me right over now.
[3:28:30] Five weeks ago on this weekend, the Communist Party was in North Vietnam launching a massive invasion of South Vietnam.
[3:28:35] The invasion was made possible by a tag for a total of 100 advanced domestic weapons, a lie down on Minnesota's border, and other communist nations.
[3:28:39] South Vietnam needs a more brave group to repel this brutal assault.
[3:28:42] The Japanese on both sides have been armed.
[3:28:43] Most traction has occurred in over 20,000 civilian conditions, including for children.
[3:28:58] As I also pointed out in my report, we have responded to our re-announcement as a military offensive by undertaking wide-ranging retreat centers aimed at ending the war from initiation.
[3:29:31] We have decided our desire for a rapid solution to the water problem with all possible approaches.
[3:29:37] At that time, it was only the ratio of energy between the water and the tank.
[3:29:41] Without a basis just for science, there was resumption of negotiations in Ireland.
[3:29:46] They indicated they could use their construction.
[3:29:49] Based on all the chances, Dr. Arndt and Mr. Schroeder privately found more of the evidence of the issue in October.
[3:29:56] On Tuesday, May 2nd, Mr. Arndt and Mr. Schroeder proposed
[3:30:00] April 9th, 7th, and April 8th.
[3:30:01] And that notes me.
[3:30:02] It's both public and private.
[3:30:04] All we heard from them was about nasty gravity, and we played with their good hands this morning.
[3:30:09] For example, the May 7th Super Bowl game, I know I brought it up, and I should give you.
[3:30:13] Well, about every conceivable matter in the world is, well, the only thing is, by the review, it's here and there.
[3:30:21] They review for all they can do, according to their own.
[3:30:24] Instead, they seem to be ready to create in their grievance public good hands.
[3:30:29] Here's what we're three years on the United States.
[3:30:31] We have offered two elections.
[3:30:32] We have offered two elections.
[3:31:00] We have offered an exchange of prisoners for a ratio of 10 yards of these prisoners for every one of their answers.
[3:31:05] The argument is that each of these officers is a prisoner.
[3:31:08] They have flatly and narrowly used the negotiation as a warning to the police.
[3:31:12] Their answer to every peace offer they've made has been to escalate the law.
[3:31:15] For two weeks, the law has been set up to defend the negotiations.
[3:31:18] Now it has launched three new amends.
[3:31:27] In those two weeks, the risk of an economy disrupting the community of folks is at a greater side than it now is in groups.
[3:31:32] An economy that hasn't even now reached the point of any greater threat to the lives of 60,000 American troops, we're still going to be about.
[3:31:37] Only two issues left for us in this war.
[3:31:38] First, in the face of a massive invasion, we need to stratify and jeopardize the lives of 60,000 Americans, and we need to stop them, and we need to prolong their journey.
[3:31:45] This is why we should be able to require the same crime after long.
[3:31:59] Second, the basis between the transition to the Communist Union, where we join with our enemy for the struggle against the government of South Vietnam.
[3:32:08] This truth is what I have for you.
[3:32:11] We will not cross the line of generosity and compassion.
[3:32:13] We now have a clear hearted choice among three courses of action to be given to all the war and enforcement, continued attempts at negotiation, or precisely military action.
[3:32:23] I know that in America, the state of the world is most powerful.
[3:32:28] They believe that the way to end the war is to get out.
[3:32:32] But a bad thing about the day.
[3:32:50] I would encourage 70 million solidators to vote for Congress, charity, and purity.
[3:32:52] It would mean that hundreds would have the privilege to be in Congress' hands, with no barricade for them to have a place.
[3:32:56] I would encourage this kind of aggression all over the world.
[3:32:58] Aggression of smaller nations, armed by their major elements, to attempt to do the best they can with nations as well.
[3:33:01] World peace would be a great job.
[3:33:02] The second cross of action is to keep on trying to do what you're selling.
[3:33:18] This is the course we've been burdened with in the past.
[3:33:21] We should continue to pursue it.
[3:33:22] But we have made every reasonable offer, tried every possible path for him to support the promise.
[3:33:26] The problem is that it takes two to negotiate.
[3:33:27] And now, as throughout the past four years, North Vietnam needs arrogant reviewers to negotiate any kind of an imposition on the United States of a common interest regime of 70 million people in South Vietnam.
[3:33:33] We do not want a common interest regime.
[3:33:46] that is to keep the weapons of war out of the hands of the international community.
[3:34:14] about the war in Vietnam.
[3:34:14] In his case, he said he tried to agree to restrain the president of the Vietnam War.
[3:34:17] That was our responsibility as a great nation, a nation which is interested in our involvement in peace and non-conflict.
[3:34:22] We have the advantage of all the strength, but we're sore about what we've heard from his neighbors, the Jews, the Bushes.
[3:34:27] We face a good situation.
[3:34:27] I'm sure that's not the case.
[3:34:29] I'm sure that's not the case.
[3:34:48] and were involved in the lead-in program for Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern Northeastern
[3:35:45] They must be in it.
[3:35:46] If they're anxious, they're going to cease firing.
[3:35:48] Once they're in the order of release, once they're in an anguish, they're going to cease firing.
[3:35:53] Again, we will stop all acts of force throughout the program.
[3:35:58] At that time, we will proceed with a complete withdrawal of all acts of force to be acknowledged and forewarned.
[3:36:03] Each of those should be out of fire strength, and they are not.
[3:36:06] If they're in the United States, these are all gone.
[3:36:10] They would have been killed if they were not in the United States now.
[3:36:15] and a lot of those who were from the middle of the South were from the middle of the South.
[3:36:17] They were going to all the nations to be accepted into the South, both of them.
[3:36:19] The last group of people who were from the Middle East, they were being accepted into the South.
[3:36:22] There's a book in the Middle East about this.
[3:36:23] It comes directly from the Middle East.
[3:36:25] The Three Changing Parties are called it, and they're trying to do the economy of the South.
[3:36:28] First, you're looking at that.
[3:36:29] You're looking for all these other people who are from the middle of the South.
[3:36:32] They all come from out there, and they're looking for their own.
[3:36:45] We choose instead to have peace.
[3:36:46] We deem it your sacrifice to stand in the history of the land, the country, and the people, and the reconciliation of the peoples of the land.
[3:36:50] We should do so continually in light of your support and your justice and your discretion.
[3:36:54] It is your spirit that gives us the honor to do that.
[3:36:56] It is your will that gives us the honor to do that.
[3:36:58] To other nations, especially those which are held in the country of God, and the actions of God, and also God, I direct you and ask you, first to open your lives to God.
[3:37:48] of our allies, not for the purpose of launching nations against our neighbors, otherwise we would have lost the peace.
[3:37:51] The cause of the revolt in our Soviet state will be seriously dejected.
[3:37:52] Our two nations have been sitting in front of us, and we are here to make you agree.
[3:37:55] We are our nation, our church, and our nation.
[3:37:56] Let us not slide back, but our challenge is to be safe.
[3:38:16] I asked to decide upon a few of the principles of the contract.
[3:38:18] The issue was that I had all these passages.
[3:38:19] A lot of them cost me money, and I didn't know what to do with them.
[3:38:22] We were on the threshold of a new relationship.
[3:38:24] We considered all the differences around the premise of what caused the illness.
[3:38:27] We were prepared to continue to build the relationship with her.
[3:38:29] I also wanted to show her some of the benefits of it.
[3:38:30] After the agreement, I asked her to sign a contract to work with me on the state of her family for a long time.
