[1:48] ... ... ... ... ... [2:08] Because I don't have, you know, I don't have a $7.00 or $7.00. [2:30] He said, I don't know what you put, you know, but I'm just coming back with what you know is out of your pockets. [2:33] He said, all I can say is I hope you know what I really put it off you. [2:34] I said, what do you think? [2:35] He said, I just hope you get a $7.00. [2:35] I said, what do you think? [2:36] I said, you've got to face the fact that you put a $7.00. [2:39] It's got to be worked out on our terms. [2:58] At the time that it worked, it didn't work. [2:59] And it can't be done considering the elections that I understand that completely. [3:00] But given that, we can get a lot better off if it can be worked out after the vote. [3:02] I didn't. [3:02] But I'm also convinced that it didn't. [3:03] And do that at the price of not getting something. [3:16] But now you're going to have to look for a way to get it. [3:18] Before you go. [3:18] That's my hope. [3:18] And if it gets off, then I'm going to have to look for a way to get it right now. [3:51] They said, well, we'll never find them. [4:17] And I said, I was the best. [4:18] It's the best. [4:18] The money gets the money. [4:19] It's the best. [4:19] It's the best. [4:19] It's the best. [4:20] It's the best. [4:20] It's the best. [4:20] It's the best. [4:21] I did not have to do the same thing a lot of the time. [4:42] I did it too fast, and I'm sure it's not going to be a lot of fun. [4:43] I don't know what to say today. [4:44] I don't know what to say. [4:44] It's rough. [4:45] It's rough. [4:45] It's rough. [4:45] I don't know what to say. [4:46] I don't know what to say. [4:46] I don't know what to say. [4:47] I don't know what to say. [4:48] You know, I had a mistake that I shouldn't have taken that over. [5:05] I think, I don't know, maybe not. [5:06] Maybe, uh, it was my fault. [5:06] I don't know. [5:06] Turns out, he wouldn't. [5:07] See, the bad thing about being here is that the hours we're speaking to you, and the words that I was written in, don't speak to me like that. [5:15] I just want to realize that I was right. [6:45] So I suppose we're right on time. [7:00] I'm a little mad, but if your plan is the only thing, we're going to control it. [7:01] Because this division is one that's going to go here, and that's going to be the only one that's going to go here. [7:03] So I'm going to go ahead. [9:02] Now, the thing that's ever happened to me was to basically do that for him, too. [9:11] I mean, I did it for you last time. [9:39] Now you've got to separate it from that thing. [11:13] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [12:11] I don't get it. [12:32] It's a message from heaven. [12:33] And also, it could be much greater than what it is now. [12:34] It could be more than what it is now. [12:35] It could be long, or long. [12:35] It could be down to anything you want. [12:36] And if David said, this is great, and then... [12:42] But now we have a new department. [13:07] So we're going to ask you a question. [13:08] I have a son. [13:08] I have a son. [13:08] I have a son. [13:09] I have a son. [13:09] I have a son. [13:09] I have a son. [13:16] That's okay. [14:02] 3-3-4-3-4-6-7-8-9-9-5 [14:31] I just got out of duty. [14:55] I thought I could do the broadcast here. [14:56] I'm not going to do that. [14:56] Okay. [14:57] Okay. [14:57] Library's not... [15:04] Okay, good.
