[3:36] .
[3:36] So this way down there, it's a very, uh, not to, uh, you know, I can guarantee that
[4:06] I hope they get around the world, but I'm talking about this long, hard journey that's coming to an end.
[4:28] And it's coming to an end in a way that we better all anguish that this country is going to have a chance to survive and choose to survive.
[4:31] And these elections in October, in fact, are very important to be aware of it.
[4:32] It's very important to be aware of the very choices that we made possible rather than having to start with the bullshit.
[4:35] I'm with the whole thing that I hear, that it was the snake of opposition that Christmas killed him in Mexico.
[4:57] Oh, sir.
[4:57] Oh, sir, we are all happy to know that.
[4:58] If that happens, I think it'd be a discrediting information.
[4:59] In fact, in fact, in fact, I always thought that it was the big man, for example, that followed him around.
[5:02] I was impressed with the Christmas killings in this case.
[5:03] I think Greg got, uh, did he ever take it?
[5:06] I was just thinking of the key express process that they take when they're in this event, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a look at the system, and then they take a
[5:34] Yeah, I'm very positive about it.
[5:50] I do tell people about it.
[5:51] I'm not sure the reason for it, but when you refer somebody else, you never see the same thing.
[5:53] You go, where are they?
[5:53] Everything looks like they're on their own now.
[5:54] Now they're broke.
[5:54] No, one of the tasks they're asking is everything you've done.
[5:56] How do you do it?
[5:56] I've been asking you all the time now.
[5:57] They didn't have to have a very wonderful physical body.
[6:21] You look like you're going to be there in a year.
[6:22] That was your job.
[6:23] Yeah, I was going to be there.
[6:23] I was going to be there.
[6:24] I was going to be there.
[6:24] I was going to be there.
[6:25] and we were down at Carmel Sheik in the district of Surrey.
[6:50] And everybody liked to lift us to the problems and the positions we needed.
[6:52] And we had a resolution from the American Legion that was passed last May, urging you to, if you would, to give consideration
[6:55] We don't know if they think a great deal wants to do it.
[7:25] I would give a lot of hope to everybody.
[7:48] And I wouldn't cost them anything.
[7:49] Just, uh, not to, uh, you know, it's, uh, it's still something they've got to decide.
[7:51] And I think it's, uh, they're very concerned.
[7:51] I'm probably not sure it's particularly, uh, uh, strong in their appreciation of what he did.
[7:53] He had, uh, his, uh, his values and, uh, for times later, and, uh,
[7:55] He was there right after.
[8:24] They were very concerned at that time because I think the arrangements with the United States had ended in June 1st.
[8:52] So that's me sharing that.
[8:52] Thank you.
[8:53] While you were sitting there in the middle of that, you were looking two-faced at us.
[9:17] I had a lot of respect for you.
[9:17] Most people are really, you can't just cut more cuts.
[9:18] They say we'd rather die and do this than do the other thing.
[9:20] On the other hand, it will be, they can gain a lot of support by it.
[9:21] If they make one move, say, on the suicide thing, which they aren't sure,
[9:23] And he thought, why not, we're going to go to it.
[9:48] There was a big elevation on the airport.
[9:48] It was definitely a war, but not as a coup.
[9:49] I think it was a war of change and so on.
[9:50] On my outreach trip, I had a very fine meeting with the president, Jerry Kennedy.
[9:52] And we got to Korea, too.
[9:53] I don't know why I want to do this.
[10:16] So, I have to go to the American market.
[10:17] This is the American market.
[10:17] It's very active.
[10:18] And I'm going to do this.
[10:18] And I'm going to do this.
[10:19] And I'm going to do this.
[10:19] And I'm going to do this.
[10:20] And I'm going to do this.
[10:22] Yeah.
[10:51] Sure.
[10:51] Sure.
[10:51] Yeah.
[10:51] I have a feeling he's running now.
[11:18] I did run across some sound up there at the time, and especially once the chamber comes in the middle of the province,
[11:22] make contact with Russia on some economic exchange.
[11:47] And there was that discussion going on in the opposition.
[11:48] And quite a bit of... Well, the whole place was a big flux of curses.
[11:49] Yeah.
[11:49] All the nations.
[11:50] And you were a viewer of curses.
[11:51] We were out there, you were back here, and we had our time up.
[12:15] Yeah, and I was deeply impressed with the ministry today that you took.
[12:17] I think it's, you know, it's dangerous.
[12:18] It's dangerous.
[12:18] A lot of people are overreacting to things because they don't
[12:21] I mean, both sides are going in with very different views about the four of those people.
[12:44] On the other hand, there had to be a move made to take the eight of the different Chinese and to begin pretending they're isolated from the rest of the world.
[12:47] They were not having a chance to have a peaceful world.
[12:48] I was deeply impressed by two of the points you made.
[12:50] One was that they want you to do what you're doing
[12:59] Correct.
[13:28] Right.
[13:28] Right.
[13:28] Right.
[13:28] Right.
[13:28] Right.
[13:29] Right.
[13:33] And I was hoping very deeply that Steve would come to see me and be best with me.
[14:04] And particularly on this issue here, from my point of view, it's a tremendous difference.
[14:26] There's a point where I think your accusation is reasonable, but the D.F.W.
[14:28] is doubtful.
[14:28] That's the reason for it.
[14:29] That's one that I want you to have in mind, that the D.F.W.
[14:30] was here all the time, but I think we need to start from there.
[14:34] If it's at all possible to reconsider, it would be a tremendous thing.
[14:53] I truly appreciate it, and I'm glad you're here.
[14:54] I'm glad you're here.
[14:54] I know how much it means to you, and I thank you.
[14:55] But you could be of such importance in an area where I would like to see some support that could build up within our city.
[15:02] ... ... ... ... ...
[15:32] and then there'd be an opportunity of that.
[16:03] I'm sorry.
[16:32] I'm sorry.
[16:34] Yes, he did.
[16:55] He really did.
[16:55] I know.
[16:55] But it was my fault.
[16:56] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:56] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:57] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:57] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:58] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:58] It was Kevin's fault.
[16:59] It was Kevin's fault.
[17:04] And frankly, Mr. President, to be very frank and honest, I don't think that there are many presidents who could have done it.
[17:33] I think you need to raise your credibility and state it.
[17:34] I think that's probably the thing to remind the board.
[18:03] And as a matter of fact, I have children that you're past that position of extreme, that there's no value in something that you use as a creation.
[18:27] And if you could, if it's possible in any way to make this a convention, it would be a tremendous honor.
[18:29] It would be a first nation convention itself.
[18:30] But you know what to do.
[18:31] I just take care of it.
[18:32] The thing is I agreed to go to yours last year, and I'm going to have to be up there this year, and I've got a little box here, and I have to do one of the other problems, and the issue is being doing both the same year and also in the same space.
[19:00] So, let's see, this one, where are the things we take a hard look at?
[19:02] You assume that we won't, but I'm just saying.
[19:27] It's a little difficult for me to explain to someone.
[19:28] Yeah, it's a little difficult for me to explain to someone.
[19:29] Yeah, it's a little difficult for me to explain to someone.
[19:30] Yeah, it's a little difficult for me to explain to someone.
[19:32] I don't know.
[20:02] I had heard, uh, I had heard Jack Lenny
[20:33] the indicators, the regulations, and what they can do.
[20:59] I think it's coming along.
[21:00] It is for the children to be able to be able, for children to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able
[21:03] But we don't want to get out of the breach from a hot spot because I don't think we're supposed to work on the agency that way.
[21:26] Where can you go there?
[21:26] You just saw the president of California.
[21:27] He can't trust the New York-California industry.
[21:28] The industry just doesn't rely on money to stand up for themselves.
[21:29] I don't want them to be able to get out of the market.
[21:30] I don't know.
[21:31] I don't know.
[21:31] I don't think we've got anything to do with that.
[21:32] Money doesn't help any sector or agency.
[21:33] That's right.
[21:54] That's right.
[21:55] That's right.
[22:03] I'm out of here.
[22:32] I'm out of here.
[22:32] I'm out of here.
[22:33] I'm out of here.
[22:33] I'm out of here.
[22:34] I got an F.D.
[22:56] and I'm very concerned about the immigration situation and things like that.
[22:58] I'm very concerned about the immigration situation and things like that.
[23:06] Yeah.
[23:27] Yeah.
[23:27] Yeah.
[23:28] Yeah.
[23:38] Yeah.
[24:02] Yeah.
[24:02] Yeah.
[24:03] Yeah.
[24:03] Oh, well,
[24:04] Uh, let me say, the problem there, and of course this has to be worked on at a later time.
[24:19] It's a matter of negotiations with the Senate.
[24:20] The problem is the number.
[24:21] How many we can get.
[24:21] And it's, uh, of course, it's a matter of how much we can go if we can't have it.
[24:24] But we put it down.
[24:44] He's a great Paul.
[24:44] And he's only over many years great at our college.
[24:45] And he's the kind of person that is a good support to the great church of our people.
[24:47] Well, Mr. Preston, I hope and trust that it's possible to reach the confession of that man.
[24:51] I do appreciate your problem.
[24:56] Well, you know, I mean, you should ask.
[24:58] I'm a servant.
[25:22] Well, you helped us there.
[25:48] Yeah.
[25:48] Anyway, thank you, John.
[25:48] Good time.
[25:49] Yeah.
[25:49] What about you, sir?
[25:49] I'm sorry.
[25:49] I'm sorry.
[25:50] I'm sorry.
[25:50] I'm sorry.
[25:51] I'm using a money club.
[26:14] You use a money club?
[26:15] I've already used a money club.
[26:15] I've already used a money club.
[26:16] I've already used a money club.
[26:17] I've already used a money club.
[26:17] I've already used a money club.
[26:18] I've already used a money club.
[26:19] I've already used a money club.
[26:21] It's hard to realize.
[26:42] This is very special.
[26:42] You only get about 25 of those.
[26:43] I've got to hand you this present.
[26:45] Well, I'm trying to take care of yourself.
[26:47] Do you agree that you look fine today?
[26:48] I do.
