[0:00] John, on a couple of points, on my oral retirement, I assume that that was a veto, I mean, a message that we expect to be overwritten.
[0:18] And the question, is that second ahead?
[0:19] So it's not overwritten?
[0:19] I don't expect it to be overwritten, but it is.
[0:20] Yeah.
[0:25] That's fine.
[0:39] That's fine too.
[0:42] What about the situation on welfare?
[0:45] What have they done so far?
[0:47] They put in the, they went out to the test and they turned down the cost.
[0:51] And see if we can get that.
[0:56] That's good.
[1:07] That's good.
[1:11] So now rock.
[1:11] That's good.
[1:11] Good.
[1:11] Now.
[1:12] Start to rock.
[1:12] Yeah.
[1:27] The first three are in the center and the second is in the fourth.
[1:40] This is kind of what?
[1:49] Oh, I see, fine.
[1:49] In other words, family assistance is kind of four.
[1:53] Right.
[1:53] What is that amount of money, you know, six and a half years out of the state?
[1:55] That's for one year annually or over three or four years or what?
[1:58] Right, right, right, that's all.
[2:20] Yeah, right.
[2:21] This does not provide result any better.
[2:28] So.
[2:43] So, lift.
[3:02] And then we hope what?
[3:12] What?
[3:12] Do I pay it or not?
[3:14] Oh, we're getting some of that.
[3:14] I'm telling you.
[3:28] Well, I don't know if we can do that.
[3:32] If I say it's for her, that would be a mistake.
[3:35] Yeah, all right.
[4:00] I don't know.
[4:08] I don't know.
[4:16] I don't know.
[4:57] So we like to say that we don't get the satisfaction that we should in the background.
