1:16

are trying to get in the

1:18

way of Donald Trump fulfilling his

1:20

promise to the American people to

1:22

shut down our border and deport

1:24

criminal illegal aliens. Here's the drama

1:27

that's taking place here, Eric. It's

1:29

pretty incredible. The administration used this

1:31

alien enemies act to be able

1:33

to say, hey, we have every

1:35

right to report these criminal

1:38

illegal aliens. The ACLU rushes to

1:40

court the DC-based US District Court,

1:42

which has had this horrendous. era

1:44

of anti- trump decisions over

1:46

these past four or five

1:48

years. Just rogue leftist Obama

1:50

appointed judges is extraordinary. They

1:52

are really interfering with the

1:54

actions of the executive branch.

1:56

So this is going to

1:58

come to So here's what's

2:01

amazing. Judge Bozberg rules

2:03

against the Alien Enemies

2:05

Act and says, not only can

2:07

you not deport anyone, but if

2:09

you're in the middle of doing

2:11

it right now, if you have planes

2:13

in the air, turn them around. Can

2:15

you imagine a judge thinks he

2:18

can tell the President of

2:20

the United States, you've got

2:22

to turn that plane around?

2:24

And these are not nuns

2:26

that are being deported. These

2:28

are... gang members, violent gang

2:30

members that had committed crimes

2:32

in the United States. It's

2:34

a clear yet another case

2:36

of the bubble of the

2:38

DC swamp class making decisions,

2:40

arrogant decisions, completely

2:42

aloof from the consequences of those

2:44

bad decisions. Yeah, and I think

2:46

he may have jumped the shark,

2:48

this Judge Bozberg, because now... Chuck

2:51

Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary

2:53

Committee, has spoken out and said,

2:55

okay, we're going to look into

2:57

this guy. Brandon Gil, a freshman

2:59

house member, said he's going to

3:01

file articles of impeachment against this

3:03

judge. And this is not the

3:05

first ruling in the past several

3:07

weeks from a DC judge against

3:09

the administration. You know, the ACLU

3:11

is standing up for murderers, rapists

3:13

who don't belong in this country.

3:16

These are gang members. These

3:18

are bloodthirsty gang members. Exactly, like

3:20

I said, they're not nuns. They're

3:23

trenderagua gang members committing crimes

3:25

that have been released from prison

3:27

by Maduro, sent to America, continuing

3:29

mayhem. Trump is doing something about

3:31

it, trying to send them back,

3:33

and the arrogance of this prick

3:35

to say, no, oh, stop. I'm

3:38

in charge. I'm really the elected

3:40

president because I'm a judge. You

3:42

have to listen to me. It's

3:44

insanity. It speaks to the actual

3:46

conflict between the three

3:48

branches of government. You have

3:50

the president with elected executive

3:53

authority. You have the Congress

3:55

with the power to spend

3:57

and the judiciary that is

3:59

clearly. way overstepping his

4:01

bows as a junior district judge.

4:03

This is not a Supreme Court

4:06

ruling. This is a junior guy

4:08

that preemptively listens to

4:10

the ACOU and tries to stop.

4:12

And by the way, Joe Biden

4:14

ignored the US Supreme Court

4:16

with reckless abandon on the

4:18

forgiveness of student loans numerous

4:21

times, right? He spent, he

4:23

returned billions of dollars. So

4:25

here is this brilliant

4:27

irony. and blowing up in this

4:29

judge's face. He says, any planes

4:31

that are on their way, bring it

4:33

back, right? Well, guess what? There was

4:36

a plane load of 238 of these

4:38

gang members that went to El

4:40

Salvador. Now, you have been on

4:42

the ground in El Salvador at

4:45

their Max prison. We've talked a

4:47

lot about it here at El

4:49

Salvador. We've talked a lot about

4:51

it. You've been on the ground

4:53

there. So this plane lands in

4:56

El Salvador. There's this

4:58

magnificent video at night of

5:00

these gang members in shackles,

5:02

not only being carted off

5:04

the plane, dragged off the plane,

5:07

but they are shoved to the

5:09

ground on their knees. They take a

5:11

razor and shave their beards off,

5:13

shave their heads bald. These guys

5:15

are basically neutered as soon as

5:17

they arrive in El Salvador and

5:20

Buchelli. The President of Buchelli says,

5:22

today the first 238 members of

5:24

the Venezuelan criminal organization Trin de

5:26

Aragua arrived in our country, they

5:29

were immediately transferred to the Terrorism

5:31

Confignment Center, where you've been. Is

5:33

he caught? Yes. The US will

5:35

pay a very low fee for

5:37

them, but a high one for

5:40

us. On this occasion, the US

5:42

has also sent 23 MS-13 members.

5:44

This will help finalize intelligence gathering

5:46

and go after the last remnants

5:48

of MS-13. As always, we continue

5:50

advancing in the fight against organized

5:52

crime. So here's Buchelli saying. What

5:55

a fantastic friend to America. Oh my gosh.

5:57

We received these on your behalf. We're going

5:59

to save. you money in the process.

6:01

All right, so then he finds out

6:03

that the judge had issued this ruling

6:05

and Buchelli then posts,

6:08

oopsie, too late. I gotta get

6:10

your reaction to all these

6:12

developments. President Buchelli had a

6:15

marketing background. He definitely understands

6:17

a good message and he

6:19

delivered it. And after getting

6:22

harangued by the DC crowds for

6:24

years, because he was elected on

6:26

a law and order platform. because

6:29

MS-13, this horrific gang, had overrun

6:31

and was destroying El Salvador society.

6:33

He was elected to stop it.

6:36

He did. All while being actively

6:38

opposed by Washington and USAID-funded NGOs

6:41

saying it was too hard, he

6:43

was too hard on crime, all

6:45

the rest. He builds a prison

6:48

which houses all the obvious gang

6:50

members. With their face tattoos, it's

6:53

pretty obvious they self-identify, he locks

6:55

them up. Now, El Salvador is safer.

6:57

then the county where the FBI crime

7:00

lab is, Prince William County,

7:02

Virginia. So yes, good autumn, excellent

7:04

work, more to continue. But you

7:06

know, this is Donald Trump delivering. And

7:08

if you recall from eight years

7:11

ago, remember right at the beginning

7:13

of the administration, the hoo-ha over

7:15

the travel bans, right? And for weeks

7:18

and weeks and weeks, that was sort

7:20

of one of the driving news stories.

7:22

And then the left calls it a

7:24

Muslim travel ban. Right. It's a travel

7:27

ban based on does the country,

7:29

and I know the Trump administration

7:31

is considering it again, good, because

7:34

those travel bans are based on

7:36

do those countries where these people

7:38

are coming from have a functioning

7:40

intelligence service, Homeland

7:43

Security Department effectively, that

7:45

can vet these applicants

7:48

to know whether they're criminals,

7:50

radicals, wife abusers, child

7:52

traffickers, to prevent them from

7:54

coming to America that's exactly

7:57

what our government is supposed

7:59

to do. This is the same

8:01

time by the way that we

8:03

had this student, person on a

8:05

student visa, who was basically,

8:07

you know, fomenting the protest.

8:09

The paid Hamas activists. Paid

8:11

Hamas activists and the left

8:13

is all up in arms

8:16

about his free speech rights

8:18

being restricted. He's here as

8:20

a guest of ours. Correct.

8:22

Again, fundamental difference. Are you

8:24

a citizen of the United States

8:27

or are you a guest or

8:29

visitor? First Amendment does not necessarily

8:31

apply to him. And there are

8:34

rules very clearly spelled out in

8:36

that green card application

8:38

about not being a rabble rouser,

8:40

activist, criminal organizer, or anything

8:42

else. He clearly violated those terms

8:45

of Juetta. Like a contract.

8:47

So anyway, back to El

8:49

Salvador, this to me, Donald Trump

8:51

is basically saying to the...

8:53

to the judges, the ruling class

8:56

and the judiciary that says,

8:58

uh-uh, not so fast. You guys

9:00

are trying to, you know, screw

9:02

with our agenda. We're acting

9:04

on behalf of the American people.

9:07

He's not going to let

9:09

some rogue judge block him at

9:11

this point, is he? I mean, he's

9:13

just, he's just going to say, hell,

9:15

no. And I think we're going to

9:18

see more of it. We're just, we're

9:20

going to see more plane loads going

9:22

out by the hour. on these matters,

9:25

truly only the Supreme Court, and not

9:27

every left-wing activist judge gets to spout

9:29

their mouth off. And by the way,

9:32

Rick Renell just, you know, posted at

9:34

the same time that flights to Venezuela

9:36

are going to resume. Yep. You know,

9:38

another major, I mean, we are shipping

9:40

out a ton of these guys who

9:42

never should have been here in the

9:44

first place. All right, let's stay in

9:47

the region in this hemisphere, Eric, because

9:49

you've been in the news lately. This

9:51

time as an issue in

9:53

a presidential campaign now you've

9:55

told our off-leash viewers recently

9:57

about the presidential election

10:00

in Ecuador and its great

10:02

significance for the strategic interests

10:05

of the United States. The

10:07

presidential election was on February

10:10

9th and it pushed it to

10:12

a runoff because there was less

10:14

than 1% differential between the two

10:16

candidates. That runoff election now is

10:18

April 13th. So we've got weeks

10:21

leading into that runoff and what

10:23

happens, President Noboa who is the

10:25

conservative in the race, enlist founder

10:27

of Blackwater private army.

10:29

as ally in war on

10:31

crime, according to The Guardian,

10:33

where he says he is

10:35

seeking re-election as president, announces

10:37

this partnership with Trump supporter,

10:39

Eric Prince. All right, let's move

10:42

from fake news to real news.

10:44

Tell us the story. I was

10:46

planning to be home this last

10:48

week, but alas, I got a

10:50

call. Please come to Ecuador and

10:52

see how we could help. They've

10:54

had a terrible explosion of gang

10:56

crime. That election is really clearly

10:58

delineated. Naboa comes from a

11:00

wealthy successful family. They're significantly

11:03

dominant in the banana trade

11:05

in mining in Ecuador Versus

11:08

a very left-wing female who

11:10

is an absolute who is an

11:12

actual surrogate for Raphael Korea

11:14

baby surrogate Literally, she's the

11:16

baby mama of one of

11:19

Raphael Korea's children Raphael Korea

11:21

is the former president of

11:23

Ecuador who canceled Throughout the

11:25

US from a base in the

11:28

north of Ecuador where there is

11:30

a large counter-drug radar used to

11:32

tamp down on drug trafficking, which

11:34

caused an explosion of drug trafficking

11:37

in the country, Naboa, sorry,

11:39

Raphael Korea was later indicted

11:41

for massive corruption and he's

11:44

hiding between Brussels and Caracas,

11:46

okay? The left-wing candidate there,

11:48

her campaign manager, lives in

11:50

Caracas. So the money... from

11:53

Caracas. You can imagine the

11:55

Maduro people are pro-drug trafficking

11:57

along with the Colombian cartels.

11:59

This is a clear race

12:02

between Naboa, who is a

12:04

long order candidate against drug

12:06

trafficking, versus the narco state

12:08

that is Venezuela, supporting a

12:11

very left-wing candidate in

12:13

Ecuador. And Maduro must be

12:15

pretty pissed off that they

12:17

didn't win on February 9th, outright.

12:19

And so I can only imagine

12:22

the forces at play here on

12:24

the ground. So this announcement came

12:26

from President Naboa. We have established

12:28

a strategic alliance to strengthen our

12:31

capabilities in the fight against narco-terrorism

12:33

and to protect our waters from

12:35

illegal fishing. Organized crime has sewn

12:37

fear and believed it can operate

12:40

with impunity. Their time is running

12:42

out. International aid is beginning to

12:44

flow, said the president. And of

12:47

course this was in announcing his

12:49

partnership with you. So tell us a little bit

12:51

more about the plan and this

12:53

intriguing to me. because this is

12:55

actually a campaign issue for him.

12:58

He's running on crime against gangs

13:00

running across the country, kind of

13:03

like El Salvador, El Salvador,

13:05

Buchelli. Yeah, look, exactly. And this is

13:07

a question of law and order. Do

13:10

you want the country run by laws?

13:12

Or do you want it run by

13:14

gangs and mayhem? The gangs tried something

13:16

big about a year ago, a full

13:19

day of rage, where they tried to

13:21

take over significant parts of the country

13:23

and power stations, all the rest. The

13:26

government was able to tamp it down,

13:28

but now in the last weeks

13:30

running up to this campaign, stimulated

13:32

by the left, the gangs are

13:34

particularly active. The previous weekend, they

13:37

actually killed 22 people in the

13:39

major port city of Guayakil,

13:41

where I just was. Just in gang-on-gang

13:43

fighting with civilians getting caught

13:45

in the crossfire So enough

13:48

is enough. They're looking for

13:50

some advice on how to tamp

13:52

that down My interest in going down

13:54

there was about fish, right? There's a

13:56

massive illegal fishing all around South

13:59

America complicated by

14:01

the Chinese. When you look at

14:04

Ecuador, has the largest shrimp

14:06

fishery in the world and

14:08

the second largest tuna fishery,

14:10

and you see they also

14:12

have the Galapagos Islands, the

14:14

super unique environmental

14:17

preserve. And what the Chinese

14:19

do is they actually moor

14:21

a very large vessel, a

14:24

VLC, a 250,000 ton vessel

14:26

there, half converted. It's an

14:28

oiler and that other half

14:31

is a freezer ship. And

14:33

it serves as a floating

14:35

base to support a fleet

14:37

of 350-some Chinese fishing vessels

14:40

which loot fish from Ecuador's

14:43

waters all down Peru to

14:45

Chile all the way to

14:47

the south. The tuna, shrimp,

14:49

squid, pillaged. China as

14:51

a country lutes most

14:53

of the protein consumed

14:55

by the country from

14:57

the world's oceans, largely

15:00

illegally, to the detriment

15:02

of ocean health and

15:04

from the rest of

15:06

the world. Argentina, same

15:08

problem. In fact, they

15:10

just a few weeks

15:12

ago released pictures of

15:14

thousands of Chinese vessels

15:16

out fishing squid illegally.

15:18

Problem they should be solved and I am

15:21

keen and we'll do an episode on that

15:23

soon we're doing it somewhere and causes

15:25

huge economic harm to a country like

15:27

Ecuador economic harm mass environmental harm because

15:30

they massively over fish and they buy

15:32

catch all kinds of other species and

15:34

kill them in the process and it's

15:36

just a nightmare so look Ecuador

15:38

has a significant wealth potential

15:40

I mean if you can drop

15:43

a seed anywhere it grows into

15:45

a plant because you have everything

15:47

from coastal tropics High Mountains, right,

15:49

Kito, the capital Ecuador, is like

15:52

10,500 feet, and then you

15:54

have Amazon on the east

15:56

side, like Amazon rain forests

15:58

like, you know. growth. So it's

16:00

a massive biodiversity in the

16:02

country with with neighbors that

16:05

are in the drug trafficking

16:07

business both Peru and Colombia

16:09

all trying to ship their products

16:12

out through Ecuador through the

16:14

very effective port which I

16:16

think is the largest banana exporter in

16:18

the world. So clearly Aboa is finding

16:20

for his political life. Yeah, and fighting

16:22

for the life of the country, is

16:24

it going to be a rule of

16:27

law state or is it going to

16:29

fall down the road of a Venezuela

16:31

narco state? But for him to issue his

16:33

statement, say I'm working with Eric Prince,

16:35

he's clearly doubling down on his war

16:37

on crime and feels that that's

16:39

absolutely necessary to get the voters out

16:41

for him in their runoff election. Love me

16:43

or hate me, at least they know we're

16:46

serious about fighting crime. Clearly, I mean,

16:48

he's leveraging your brand to help in his

16:50

in his election. and we're honored to

16:52

help in highlighting the extreme need

16:54

that they have from this article

16:57

says Ecuador's highly strategic location between

16:59

two of the world's top cocaine

17:01

producers Peru and Colombia and his

17:03

Pacific ports have turned the country

17:06

into a drug haven fairing vast

17:08

quantities of the legal substance to

17:10

the US in Europe. So that's

17:12

the the the narco terrorism that

17:14

we're talking about and these these

17:17

are not the 1980s, you know,

17:19

narco-terrorists. These are people with sophistication,

17:21

resources, weapons. It's

17:23

industrialized crime, not just organized

17:25

crime. So yeah, they have a

17:28

tough struggle on their hands, but

17:30

it's worth having because Ecuador is

17:32

certainly worth saving. So certainly the

17:34

people want security. and they want

17:36

a job. And they're not going

17:39

to have a job unless they're

17:41

security because nobody's going to invest there

17:43

if if the narcos can come and take

17:45

it away or it gets taken out in

17:47

a shootout between rival gangs fighting

17:50

over certain turf. So clearly you

17:52

know the interest of regular Ecuadorians

17:54

is at stake in this election

17:56

and their livelihood, their future, their

17:58

safety, their security. But hopefully,

18:01

God willing, Naboa wins. You

18:03

get to sort of help the

18:05

country to sort of recover

18:07

from this era and gain

18:09

some stability and some security.

18:11

But really, El Salvador is

18:13

the model. And how can

18:15

that populate now around the

18:17

region more and more? Because

18:19

El Salvador has been a

18:21

success of demonstrating how to

18:23

lock it down, how to

18:25

reestablish a long order. I

18:27

think Ecuador can do the

18:29

same thing. I think Daniel

18:31

Nabo is up to the

18:33

task. He was actually spent significant

18:35

time in America. He went to

18:38

school in New York. He was

18:40

actually the New York State Champion

18:42

snowboarding champion for a number of

18:44

years. So he is Americanized in

18:46

that sense. But comes from a

18:48

very wealthy family, but he loves

18:50

his country. So he doesn't need

18:53

a day job. He is there

18:55

to try to save Ecuador and

18:57

I'm honored to try to help

18:59

him do that. And the truth is,

19:01

this presidential runoff election

19:04

is a proxy fight for us

19:06

with Maduro, is it not? Yeah,

19:08

like I said, the left, the

19:10

candidate, the campaign staff is in

19:12

Caracas, the monies from Caracas, the

19:15

PR people are in Caracas. This

19:17

is organized of, by, and through

19:19

the Maduro crowd. And this says

19:21

a lot about. private sector solutions,

19:23

does it not? A head of

19:26

state turning to someone for you

19:28

to help with him against a

19:30

war against crime? Yeah, and look,

19:32

Ecuador is looking for all kinds

19:34

of engagement from the U.S. on

19:37

counter-narcotics, on tamping down the

19:39

illegal tsunami that they've been

19:41

hit with. President Nibo has

19:43

only been in office for

19:45

about a year because he... took over

19:47

at an interim position because the previous

19:49

guy was going to be indicted or

19:52

impeached. So he won in a snap

19:54

election. Now this is for the full

19:56

term. All right, let's talk about US

19:58

interest in the region. now, particularly based

20:00

on these developments here in Ecuador

20:03

and in El Salvador. In terms

20:05

of the US interest, obviously the

20:08

president has talked about taking the

20:10

cartels on directly. So would that impact?

20:12

the narco-terrorists in Ecuador as well as

20:15

Colombia, Peru, and elsewhere? 100% in Mexico.

20:17

Because it's such a major export spot

20:19

for them to get their products to

20:22

market. So what do you think that

20:24

looks like moving ahead? I mean... I'm

20:26

sure the U.S. will want to reopen

20:28

the base that was closed by Korea.

20:31

put up the radar again and just

20:33

make it much harder for the cartels

20:35

to do their business. So clearly the

20:38

president obviously is now in the midst

20:40

of his sort of tariff battle

20:42

with Mexico. That's a dynamic here.

20:44

But it seems to me like

20:46

the Mexican president will cooperate with

20:49

us so we can take the cartels

20:51

on directly. I mean that's the first

20:53

front, right? Is dealing with them in

20:55

Mexico and going south from there? Yes,

20:57

I understand there's even a US

21:00

Navy cruiser. sent to down to

21:02

the border. So who knows who

21:04

knows what level of actions are

21:06

going to be taken by the

21:09

cartels. It's probably if you're in

21:11

the cartel business, it's probably time

21:13

to find a different line. But

21:15

the best thing that could happen

21:18

to regular folks who live in

21:20

these countries is Donald Trump's war

21:22

on the cartels and Buekale is

21:24

serving as a model for the

21:27

rest of the continent. Yeah, and

21:29

look, Just in his first year

21:31

in office, it's been incredible because

21:33

you had a perpetually high inflation,

21:36

high deficit country just blowing money

21:38

and he is cut down the budget

21:40

deficit. They actually cut it down

21:43

to a slight surplus. There's a

21:45

lot of, I would say, reawakening

21:47

of capitalism that's going to

21:49

happen in Argentina. It is

21:51

a beautiful country with a

21:53

smart capable workforce. They actually have

21:56

their own nuclear program, a nuclear

21:58

power program there. Okay. all

22:00

being restarted because like

22:02

I said smart workforce

22:04

smart inhabitants they have

22:06

been burdened or crushed

22:08

by stupid socialist parinista

22:10

communism communism light for

22:12

the last 70 80 years and

22:15

as they awaken from that Argentina

22:17

is going to be a force.

22:19

Boom. So just as we're still

22:22

in the region here with with

22:24

Maduro so the president recently just

22:26

reapplied sanctions that Biden had

22:28

lifted? Yes. On, you know,

22:30

oil extraction? On Chevron. You

22:32

have. You've been very outspoken

22:34

about that. We interrupt this

22:36

program to bring you an

22:39

important Wayfair message. Wayfair's got style

22:41

tips for every home. This is

22:43

styles McKenzie helping you make those

22:46

rooms sing. Today's style tip. When

22:48

it comes to making a statement

22:50

treat bold patterns like neutrals. Go

22:53

wild like an untamed animal print

22:55

area rug under a rustic farmhouse

22:57

table from Wayfair.com. Fierce. This has

23:00

been your wayfare style tip to

23:02

keep those interiors superior. Wayfare, every

23:04

style, every home. What do you think is

23:06

this just the first sort of

23:09

volley from the president turning the

23:11

screws on Maduro? Yes, I think

23:13

there'll be probably some other sanctions

23:16

coming against gold because other countries

23:18

are routinely helping and violate that

23:20

like Turkey because they're supposed

23:22

to be gold sanctions as well,

23:24

but they've been leaking a lot

23:26

of that stuff out to to

23:28

Turkey and to the Middle East.

23:30

So tell me about other malign

23:32

influence like Cuba. You know, where do

23:35

we, where do you see things

23:37

moving with Cuba? Well, also Venezuela

23:39

just recently sent gunboats that that

23:42

threatened an Exxon floating petroleum storage

23:44

on load boat off of off

23:46

of Ghana because again, Venezuela is

23:49

contesting the basically 70% of Ghana

23:51

territory. Right. I don't know the

23:54

logic of why Maduro would be

23:56

poking the bear now going after

23:58

an American company. with a Trump

24:01

presidency but I guess maybe

24:03

Maduro is smoking something stronger

24:05

than he should be right now.

24:07

But he is desperate for the

24:09

oil reserves that were discovered in

24:12

Guyana. Oh yeah, correct? Look if

24:14

they took that area it would

24:16

it would increase the GDP of...

24:19

of Venezuela by about 30%. So he

24:21

must be in a hurry to try

24:23

to gain control of those resources because

24:25

he figures there's power behind that for

24:27

him. If he thinks he's going to

24:29

get away with it under Trump I

24:31

would be really shocked if that were

24:34

the case. So it's possible that the

24:36

president could support Guyana in a way

24:38

that Joe Biden didn't? Yes, or

24:40

let the private sector do it

24:42

or something. Some variation. But you

24:45

have a very left-wing president in

24:47

Colombia? who is extremely unpopular and

24:49

I don't think he'll survive the

24:51

next election cycle there. So let's

24:54

exit on this. I know that

24:56

the administration is going to move

24:58

criminal illegal aliens into Guantanamo Bay.

25:00

Give me your thoughts about that

25:02

move. Well that's where it's a

25:05

great thing that Bo Kelly is

25:07

offering a better solution because as

25:09

nice as it sounds to send

25:11

them to Gitmo, the problem is

25:14

there's no sewage treatment in Gitmo.

25:16

And so every person you park

25:18

there, you have to do massive

25:20

wastewater treatment and its, you know,

25:22

average human being uses 12

25:25

to 18 gallons a day

25:27

and it's $3.40. Literally put

25:29

it on a barge, hauled

25:31

away somewhere else to treat

25:33

it. So the spend of

25:35

just housing people at Gitmo

25:38

becomes horrifically expensive. So it's

25:40

not a practical solution to

25:42

park them there. And Boo Kelly's

25:44

got the answer. Turkey. Indeed he

25:46

does. You know, oopsie, it's too

25:48

late. We've already sent them here.

25:50

That's the kind of customer service

25:52

you want. From our vendor in

25:55

El Salvador. Incredible. Well, we are

25:57

going to be able to count

25:59

26:01

26:03

26:05

we've got the guy here

26:07
