[0:00] Hello.
[0:21] Hello.
[0:21] I was trying to appeal last night, so I didn't call you, but that was just a great victory in, uh, science.
[0:24] And, uh, as you know, and as you said so well, uh, it was, uh, essential because, uh, uh, to, uh, have such a, such an unbelievably irresponsible restriction, you know, then just being called home
[0:29] I don't believe there's no options in negotiating with the Presbyterian Charter, for example.
[0:48] Kevin Lee had to get out.

[1:58] But these little countries that we've done so much for, we don't have to come in and insult them and humiliate the United States.
[2:22] And after that, we'll deal with them.

[2:24] Of course, South Africa is essentially off now.
[2:25] Portugal, maybe.
[2:25] We should crack a candle and then go after Greece.
[2:31] Great, thank you.
[2:42] You go.
