00:00Do you want those big corporate clients to find new lawyers?
00:09I just think that the law firms have to behave themselves.
00:13And we've proven that.
00:14We have others that want to make a settlement also.
00:16They having to do with the election and other things, they behave very badly, very wrongly.
00:22And I appreciate the one, you know, these are the biggest firms.
00:26And they all came back realizing that they did wrong.
00:31And that's why they're doing this.
00:32So I just think they have to behave.
00:34We have to straighten out our country.
00:35We have to straighten out our elections.
00:37Our elections are very dishonest, very corrupt, and we have to straighten it out.
00:42And it's so easy to do it.
00:43And we should go to paper ballots.
00:45We should go to one day voting.
00:47We should go to voter I.D. and just one other thing, proof of a thing called citizenship
00:53at the United States.
00:54Wouldn't that be nice?
00:55How simple does that sound?
00:57Proof of citizenship, voter I.D., one day voting and paper ballots.
01:02You know, paper ballots are very secure.
01:03They have watermark paper.
01:05It's very actually it's very intricate stuff.
01:07It's very technologically advanced, even though it's paper.
01:12And you'd have no trouble.
01:13You wouldn't have dishonest elections.
01:15And you'd have them all done by 10 o'clock in the evening.
01:18You know, France went to that.
01:20And not that I want to copy anybody, but many others have also.
01:24They had 38 million votes and it was all done at 10 o'clock.
01:27They had a winner.
01:28They had a loser.
01:29That was it.
01:30Nobody was complaining.
01:32And they had it backed up with paper.
01:34And it's it's so easy to do.
01:36The other thing you'd save about this would cost you about 8 percent of what the machines
01:43cost.
01:45So the paper would be much less expensive.
01:47So if you're looking to save some money, that's a good way to save it.
01:50So it's a shame that we've gone through it.
01:52We've gone through a bad election, a really bad election.
01:55The election was so bad.
01:57And think of it.
01:58You wouldn't have had the October 7th disaster with Israel.
02:03You wouldn't have had Russia and Ukraine because that would have never happened.
02:07You wouldn't have had inflation.
02:09You wouldn't have had the type of withdrawal from Afghanistan that you witnessed, which
02:13was probably one of the primary reasons that Russia went into Ukraine.
02:17They saw that mess, how badly it was handled.
02:19They said, well, this is a paper tiger.
02:21That was handled by incompetent people.
02:24But that wouldn't have.
02:25We would have been out, but we would have kept Bagram, the big airbase, which is one
02:29hour away from China, where they make their nuclear weapons.
02:32Would have been nice to have it.
02:33But now you know who has it now?
02:35China has it.
02:36And so an honest election and we wouldn't have had inflation.
02:39You know, you had the record setting inflation.
02:41We wouldn't have had inflation.
02:43I want to thank everybody for being here.
02:44I want to congratulate Hyundai, a great company, and we will do everything possible.
02:50I will say you picked a fantastic state.
02:52You really fit with tremendous people and tremendous leaders and speaker.
02:56I want to thank you for doing a great job.
02:58You and Steve.
02:59Thank you very much.
03:00Appreciate it.
03:03Thank you, everybody.
