Them the amount equal to the defense if we gave it a good lead by. The amount of salary they got I'm now going. To continue. And continue to. Go by the however. That even if you say. That. We now feel bad about. It that they feel that if we match you with. A. Full account of the life of the constitution if we want to do that. Before. Now I believe. That the legislate that. But you do feel. That you think that they need to. Become Thank you it's a big deal. That would take the focus. IF EVEN IF IF IF IF IF IF. If if you know. If. I want to. You know if if not. We we.

Is in the prove. Courted and further act and do nothing that. Is a fool. And I will read. It Right. Now. I'm having this statement with Florida. Girl and fed in the pound. But the man at the president of the Bronx. The only young member. On. Why they're. Going to be my legs if they. Pull it out and play it on your music. Off the record it. Would be a fight over the road they. Knew I'd be up but. It would be a bit. But I don't care I mean I know. What it was. Fifteen. Or twenty thousand a man of great wealth out get this nifty quiet little. While five feet seventeen thousand five hundred. And equipped to be. A good. And a. Friend who lacked the. World knew that. If. They had money. Good they would give it. To them but he did that when the Lord will know I think it. Was very very moment I don't need to reduce the count with. This because. My brain was closed for. The day with nothing of the day I want to. Do we didn't want to do with this amendment. The enormous the for trick in the future he didn't do we now have to prove that we're very frank with. The need to know. But I think. There's a good degree of mystery that's a very likely would be good to give me a notice so that when the time comes you will look at it the boy I don't. Want. No no no no the wanting them to. Me like the prophet of the million little. Gentleman is grown and grown he appears again fifty days and I think if taxpayers money by fifty fifty and I do wake if we are not. Going to draw you out when you wake up and want to die. Finally have your roof off and. Look back the way that. You know how I'm gonna look at the real world but. You know that. On your property on mine. Well you. Know that list of. Your. Your. Money. Will be made first we need to keep a dollar we buy the team on the best case we can the one you want from your kid.

You up there but what finally find this give me up going to do would like to leave you have a lot of explaining to do. But my mother knew very well now behave now and I don't want to they know you would like that I don't think would you like them to come for mine. And me I am. Not going to play on it you know all I need to know but you do take it from that point when they cut down your going over to. The. That's not going to build that. Kind of a place that I'm back at that any time you want to get bloody awful. Like that but I've had it the last five years you've been behind. The I'm not locked up man with never behind him and with all his life in the right on the floor of the for. The very back. To the day when they're getting a little bit off not have been like that like a good. Number of boys who I think the amount of the play is a prime they're at the back of the old rules and they're a constitutional convention off the old opposed to what it was and they could get away with it other. Than the bulk of the man I believe is the only defense that it can to get the president base. And. This action will at least provide a for a couple of life Olo the president.
