[3:19] God bless the Lord.
[6:44] U.K. Greens.
[6:56] U.K. Greens are really strong.
[6:56] We changed a lot today.
[6:58] You're going to hear about shoes.
[6:59] You're going to hear about the things that you've already sent in where I signed paper.
[7:01] The U.K. Greens are very good.
[7:02] They're changing a lot.
[7:03] What other things?
[7:03] Those are the three tariffs.
[7:03] Those we've only taken action on today.
[7:04] Are there other things that you've sent in that way?
[7:06] What I want to point out is that we've got to set up the procedure here so that the council doesn't have to meet it.
[7:29] Like that's ideal for you to go around and see the members of the council, bring the paper, and I sign it, and I say my point.
[7:31] And I want these folks to know that I expect you to be my representative.
[7:33] I will have the council speak up as many times as you could well see.
[7:35] You get this whole bunch together, and Jesus Christ, you can start counting them.
[7:40] Shoes.
[7:40] I'd like to stage just a little high side, whatever the bracket was.
[7:44] Now, I'd like to bring my body.
[9:30] Uh, here's something I'm going to do is, uh, turn it over to me.
[9:48] I don't need to say the strategy, but I think it would be much more appropriate for you to talk about data based on your question best.
[9:51] So why don't you ask me what I'd like to do.
[9:52] At the very end of the meeting there, you said, well, I don't think you could ask me on the strategy side.
[9:54] You haven't done that in the past.
[9:55] You discussed the issue.
[9:55] Then I'll say, well, I'm pending.
[9:56] You're going to have to be personal.
[9:57] No.
[11:19] I won't.
[11:21] I won't.
