[0:00] hit it almost directly, which is what
[0:02] they're projecting right now. What we're
[0:04] trying to do is in keep the public

[0:09] an atmosphere of seriousness.
[0:12] Serious. Seriousness. What an
[0:13] understatement. This is the perfect
[0:15] storm. And it is bearing down on the Big
