16:15
let me be very clear with you both so
16:17
they can be absolutely no doubt we
16:21
love the work you're doing by
16:25
you need to finish it up or tone
16:27
it down
16:31
you told us to course for a river god
16:34
politico to pull
16:35
the nails of his worship free from
16:37
his fingers to attend routes
16:39
to tear the knowledge of the faith
16:42
from a heart of the land we've
16:44
been doing all that and more
16:48
the it the more
16:50
that's the problem really up
16:53
we were hoping
16:54
you to rooted out the face
16:57
by now struck at the very heart
16:59
of captured a few of it's
17:01
high priest instead
17:04
you , on the outskirts burning
17:07
villages
17:08
killing fishing boat and these people
17:11
you know they weren't actively
17:14
responsible for bellwethers
17:17
they're not personally to blame the
17:19
same
17:20
this is how you kill
17:22
a god it lives
17:24
in the memory of it's faithful takes
17:28
time yeah
17:32
hundred and for you on
17:34
a member of the faithful which you
17:37
done so very effectively
17:40
that person the constituents you
17:44
keep striking out an individual renegades
17:46
without capturing the ringleaders without
17:48
that striking some kind of final victory
17:51
that can be shared by pratt and
17:54
all you're really doing is killing of voters
17:57
dc i
18:00
i'm saying is we don't need
18:03
she will eat you know this
18:05
god so much as give
18:08
the impression that you've done
18:10
so
18:10
it really seems like you didn't think this
18:12
through it it's not that we didn't
18:15
think this it's more that
18:17
the circle the answer have changed
18:19
and their
18:21
on the hunt of yours has
18:24
taken longer than we'd hoped we
18:26
didn't know that your services would
18:28
still be required this close to the election
18:31
and of course we had no way of knowing the hostilities
18:33
with that lingers trades would be such a
18:35
hot button issue and them up
18:38
that is not a criticism absolutely
18:41
not criticizing we're just
18:43
ah if
18:45
you're not going to be able to finish this quickly
18:48
i need to keep things on an even he'll
18:51
