[0:00] So, Fred, with regard to your heat and cost, I know that you have a lot of work to do.
[0:23] You spent a lot of time on this stuff.
[0:24] You did a lot of work.
[0:24] You did a very good job.
[0:25] I know that from him and what he's up to and what it has to do with him.
[0:26] So, now, as far as the typing, I would say it's a great one for me.
[0:31] Now, the other thing is that we are cooperating all the way.
[0:55] Now, I want you to say, quite candidly,
[1:01] That is the case.
[1:08] I think we should say that.
[1:19] Yeah.
[1:20] Yeah.
[1:21] Yeah.
[1:23] Yeah.
[1:26] Yeah.
[2:14] But that's the break over that we're on.
[2:22] You know what I'm saying?
[2:27] You know what I'm saying?
[2:33] You know what I'm saying?
[2:37] You know what I'm saying?
[2:40] You know what I'm saying?
[2:42] But if they make this a political dogfight, we're ready for it.
[2:47] We are prepared to fight.
[2:50] I lay it right on the line.
[2:53] Yes, that's right.
[2:54] Let me just say that I've got to say this.
[2:57] You've got to know because yesterday I faced a lot of arguments.
[3:00] There have been a number of call-outs that are currently coming from some of the junior members of his staff.
[3:06] They have said it.
[3:12] That's what you're trying to do.
[3:14] We want you to know we're ready for the fight.
[3:17] You're not going to get it.
[3:19] Because that's wrong.
[3:21] The president's cooperating.
[3:23] He's getting him in this thing.
[3:27] And he said the president is totally innocent.
[3:31] And everybody knows it, including me.
[3:34] He's testimony under Oathful of Souls.
[3:35] And don't let him block you with anything.
[3:36] That's a lie.
[3:45] All right.
[3:48] Play the health game.
