[0:32] Thank you.
[0:59] I think it's very important that you convey the present view
[1:31] my ability to keep the commitment I made to him sent from that book, the eighth program.
[1:51] I want to do that.
[1:52] And I just can't fix those congressional years.
[1:53] As for the other program, I will never be able to get them.
[1:54] And then have them say, well, now, why did the president give you a block?
[1:56] So that they would be able to communicate, which would have given Suspire a chance to really survive.
[1:59] That's where we are.
[2:11] I don't know.
[2:37] I don't know.
[2:37] I don't know.
[2:37] I don't know.
[2:48] in the strongest possible terms.
[3:04] My concern is that basically my ability to frankly produce an aid program.
[3:12] Let's face it, we don't .
[3:12] But it is vitally important that the government be able to survive.
[3:14] That you cannot survive without an aid program.
[3:15] And that aid program will not be forthcoming.
[3:16] Our numbers are supposed to move.
[3:17] I'm bored.

[4:07] with a lot of respect.
[4:28] It's simply this, right?
[4:28] He doesn't go off the history of the cave.
[4:29] Iowa has an impossible task to get support for everybody in this town.
[4:31] Whether it's true or not, it's a enough point.
[4:32] That's the situation, right?
[4:32] And we're coming along with this, I think.
[4:33] I don't think it's going to get better.
[4:34] uh... uh...
[5:07] .
[5:35] .
[5:35] .
[5:43] Yes, I understand, it doesn't go.
[6:30] Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
[6:59] Well, you do.
[7:04] I would ask that you reconsider in China, and you can tell us in the message.
[7:21] I'm the expert on comments driven by you, and I don't trust them at all.
[7:23] But right now, we've got a bigger issue, and that's the aid to the government.
[7:26] That is what we've got to say.
[7:26] We don't have this communicated.
[7:27] We don't have to say it.
[7:27] That's worth it.
[7:29] Yeah, I'm doing this.
[7:32] I want this done for him.
[7:36] I'm not doing it for the Lord.
[7:41] It's for him.
[7:43] And for his country.
[7:46] Okay.
[8:13] Now, you...
[8:43] I would ask that you reconsider in China, and you can tell us in the message.
[9:03] I'm the expert of confidence and I don't trust them at all.
[9:04] But right now, we've got a bigger issue, and that's the aid for the government.
[9:06] That is what we've got to say.
[9:07] We don't have this communicated.
[9:07] We don't have this said.
[9:10] Yeah, I'm doing this.
[9:14] I want this done for him.
[9:21] I'm not doing it for the Lord.
[9:24] It's for him.
[9:25] And for his country.
