| 0:16.0 | Good morning. Patrick. How are you doing today? I am loving life. Thank you. |
| 0:19.4 | I feel you that much. Hey, so this is kind of a controversial thing, and it's about the abortion thing you touched on just a few moments ago. Now, when I say what I have to say here, don't take this as sort of, I don't know how else to put it. So I'm just going to kind of ask it here. Okay. What is your, first off, |
| 0:38.2 | what is your stance between religion and science, medicinal science? What is my stance? I mean, |
| 0:43.9 | like, how do I approach them? How do you factor between the two? Like, what is something that is |
| 0:50.4 | necessary between medical, like emergency versus something that you feel is just God will. |

| 1:44.9 | of Eisenmanger's syndrome? |
| 1:46.1 | I don't know that I have. |
