[0:15] But, you know, I already said that I'd give that one a second.
[0:37] I'm very interested, too, in what I think your description would be.
[0:39] I'm sure it would come up in my description, because it really says it so simply.
[0:40] I'm sure that in terms of what I was going to say, you answered a lot of questions.
[0:42] And I know that you agree with most of them, I believe.
[0:43] Fair enough.
[0:49] Yes, sir.
[0:50] How can I help you?
[0:51] I thought he was so complicated that he was very difficult to follow.
[0:56] I guess what was necessary to me was, as you always do, to support him in particular.
[1:00] I'm sorry for that.
[1:00] No problem.
[1:01] After what I did last night.
[1:08] I don't think that makes a lot of difference.
[1:10] But on the other hand, didn't it get across the back?
[1:14] The green was a good one.
[1:16] Did it get across the back?
[1:17] Or did it not?
[1:18] Well, he did.
[1:18] He did.
[1:18] He pulled it out.
[1:19] And it was about the story.
[1:20] I watched it all.
[1:20] It was all elements.
[1:21] I'm sorry.

[1:48] I don't think so.
[1:59] I don't think so.
[2:02] very crisply and precisely, we have six points.
[2:14] I heard you all gave him six points.
[2:22] Yeah, we did.
[2:24] We can't do that.
[2:26] But, this had to be done otherwise.
[2:27] Now, he is going to, however, go to the...
[2:29] He is going to do the briefing of television network commentators for the Sacramento edition.
[2:50] That's great, because he can really influence those areas.
[2:51] There is a small group of them in his mind.
[2:52] We're in with him and say, when he gets up on the stage, he gets very stage conscious.
[2:54] You can tell he's measuring his words.
[2:54] He's going to carry it out.
[2:55] I can only speak for what has been here.
[3:11] It's all very husband and wife.
[3:29] We're in the state of the sound.
[3:30] They're playing in the water for the sake of three or four hours.
[3:31] I want to speak to you again.
[3:32] That's it.
[3:32] That's it.
[3:32] Because, listen, some of it is, you know, we get it.
[3:33] There's many sides to it.
[3:34] We're in the professional system.
[3:34] You know, it's a good way to say it.
[3:35] Well, I'm going to stay behind.
[3:36] I'm going to support the president.
[3:37] I'm going to kick the credits.
[3:38] But I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:52] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:53] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:54] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:56] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:57] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:58] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[3:59] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[4:00] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[4:01] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[4:02] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[4:03] I don't question the idea of math in some disciplines.
[4:05] Not that it was the history we had on the board, but he is great.
[4:24] He said, you know, I was one of those who was wrong to be on that board.
[4:26] I said, we've never done a fiduciary, so the board just stayed away.
[4:28] And he said, I'm going to say I was wrong, but I'm going to say I wasn't as wrong as those who wanted to quit.
[4:30] And the way he's divided, he didn't say it.
[4:31] He's our fiduciary, so we're the same as him.
[4:32] That's right.
[4:32] That's right.
[4:32] He was one of them.
[4:34] And we're working on, I think, a good outcome for each day.
[4:51] And there's more than we can expect.
[5:08] No, no, no.
[5:22] No, no, no.
