you may you may say well they can they can<00:14:30.000> probably<00:14:30.120> figure<00:14:30.360> it<00:14:30.600> out<00:14:30.660> pretty<00:14:30.839> easily can probably figure it out pretty easily can probably figure it out pretty easily at<00:14:31.800> this<00:14:31.980> point<00:14:32.160> but<00:14:32.820> we<00:14:33.300> know<00:14:33.420> from<00:14:33.660> history

at this point but we know from history at this point but we know from history that<00:14:34.260> in<00:14:34.500> the<00:14:34.620> grand<00:14:34.980> scheme<00:14:35.339> of<00:14:35.399> the<00:14:35.519> history that in the grand scheme of the history

that in the grand scheme of the history of<00:14:35.760> men<00:14:35.880> if<00:14:36.120> you<00:14:36.240> look<00:14:36.360> at<00:14:36.480> any<00:14:36.720> questions<00:14:37.019> like of men if you look at any questions like
