[3:29] So now, [3:59] ... ... ... ... ... [4:29] ... ... ... ... ... [5:00] God bless you. [5:30] Undertekster av Ai-Media [6:10] ... ... ... ... ... [6:46] Let me ask. [7:16] ... ... ... ... ... [7:56] ... ... ... ... ... [8:28] Thank you for watching! [9:00] I was sitting here thinking about it, and I looked. [9:13] I'm just thinking, you know, you see the door out on the floor, and it's the old story, and I'm like, and then the officer said, the hell with having a press conference, you're going to be depressed, and you're going to have to make a survey, and I'm like, you know, it's a survey, and it's the first time that you go out, and wham, wham, wham, and 40% of the time, you're going to have to say, this is it, this is it, wait, wait, [9:29] Men, how is it like tomorrow? [9:48] I can't say. [9:48] Tomorrow I can't believe it. [9:49] It's crazy, but tomorrow, no, I can't believe it. [9:50] Really? [9:50] Yeah. [9:50] I can't believe it. [9:51] Right, right, right, right, right. [9:51] I don't know if the same thing has to wait today, but I can't believe it tomorrow. [9:53] I can't believe it. [9:54] I can't believe it. [9:54] Yeah. [9:54] I can't believe it. [9:55] Yeah. [9:55] I can't believe it. [10:01] And also, however it has to be taken into account, we will change the induction. [10:27] I mean, I look here, the only thing I think water is the water is the light-sweeping thing in the public space. [10:29] Water is under the private space. [10:36] Well, I want a message from the channel. [10:49] I don't think it's necessary to look at it that way. [10:53] We're in a highly component line here, no more charges. [11:21] ... ... ... ... ... [11:52] ... ... ... ... ... ... [12:36] ... ... ... ... ... [13:08] They're getting ready for a message all the way. [13:23] They're getting ready for a message all the way. [13:27] They're getting ready for a message all the way. [13:57] ... ... ... ... ... [14:48] Teksting av Nicolai Winther [15:22] The same. [16:07] ... ... ... ... [16:48] Just for background material on this. [17:04] We have already released 5,000 students. [17:06] It's obvious we've released 5,000 students. [17:08] But that was one of the main things. [17:10] Remember when I said that they had put a link thing in? [17:13] After October, that was what we were talking about. [17:15] They tried to link. [17:20] ... ... ... ... [17:53] ... ... ... ... ... ... [18:35] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [19:06] ... ... ... [19:38] I agree. [20:00] At some point I was thinking that it was rather curious, and very very interesting. [20:02] I was sitting there, and instead of the orchestration of this attack on the neighborhood, it was the first time that I did a thing to pick it up, you know, and look in the eye. [20:07] ... ... ... ... ... [20:38] ... ... ... ... ... [21:08] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [21:43] ... ... ... ... ... [22:12] ... ... ... ... ... [22:45] ... ... ... ... ... [23:14] ... ... ... ... ... [23:55] ... ... ... ... ... [24:26] ... ... ... ... ... [24:59] ... ... ... ... [25:33] I don't know, I don't know. [25:34] I'm gonna ask me. [26:16] No, I thought, I didn't answer your question. [26:31] I thought, you know, I thought, you know, I thought, you know, I thought, you know, I thought, you know, [27:03] ... ... ... ... [27:32] ... ... ... ... ... [28:00] And it's not made, I should point out, it has not been made by the party that regulates this kind of criminal organization. [28:15] But just so there will be no misunderstanding on this point, whatever, about our position, the position we have made. [28:34] ... ... ... ... ... [29:05] What did you think? [29:51] ... ... ... ... ... ... [30:37] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [31:08] ... ... ... ... ... [31:39] They, they, it's the sort of higher morality that's concerned with their life. [31:47] And they're basically the people that make this argument that all we can do is end up with a killer. [31:54] Right? [31:54] They're the higher morality. [31:56] Whatever killer, but what would they do? [32:01] What's their purpose? [32:01] The killer's done nothing. [32:03] Well, good, I should get in one line if he comes up, and that is that. [32:12] ... ... ... ... ... [32:40] ... ... ... ... ... [33:11] ... ... ... ... [33:41] ... ... ... ... ... [34:15] Primarily obsessed with this country is the division and debate about war. [34:31] Now, when the war is over, I think that's the division and debate that's happening in the States. [34:37] They raise what we call the speech of the peace-fighting people, the people of each other. [34:39] Once the war was over, the women had to make fun of them, because that's the nature of our society. [34:44] ... ... ... ... ... ... [35:17] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [35:48] The problem with one other thing I want to mention is women come to me [36:21] My theory about all of this is that [36:52] ... ... ... ... ... [37:25] ... ... ... ... ... [37:56] ... ... ... ... ... [38:29] ... ... ... ... ... [39:00] ... ... ... ... ... [39:30] ... ... ... ... ... [40:00] ... ... ... ... ... [40:29] ... ... ... ... ... [40:59] Otherwise, it tends to give disproportionate emphasis to both the negative and the positive. [41:09] And they're basically the columnist couple. [41:13] You know what I mean? [41:17] Now, what I think really needs emphasis is the reporting. [41:23] In other words, what the wires have said, and what the members have said. [41:26] And that, I think, should be an appendix for people to want to know about. [41:29] ... ... ... ... ... [41:56] ... ... ... ... ... [42:39] Let's face it. [42:48] Only one tenth of the speaker readers read it. [42:52] One tenth. [42:52] They read the Brown page, the Smarter page, the Banach page, the Society page. [42:58] Only one tenth of the speaker readers read it. [43:00] Now, why the hell would you sit here and punish yourself by reading the Whip? [43:05] And for that matter, being buried. [43:09] ... ... ... ... ... [43:46] We have a, you know, a discrepancy. [44:02] And, you know, I don't, I don't guess what that is. [44:04] But I think you have to realize that we, the nationals, we don't have control over the discrepancy. [44:17] ... ... ... ... ... [44:50] ... ... ... ... ... [45:26] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... [45:57] For today, we expect you to keep quiet. [46:03] Okay, good night. [46:03] Yes, sir.
