0:14.3 | Hi everybody, Tom Woods here. |
0:15.8 | I am in haste. |
0:17.1 | I've got to get to the airport to get to Massachusetts for the Mises Institute event in Cambridge tomorrow, |
0:24.9 | and tomorrow is October 1st, 2016. The event is sold out, I'm sorry to report. I'm also happy |
0:31.9 | to report that to some degree, but I'm sorry you can't get in at this point. All the seats are taken, but I'm in a bit |
