| 0:06.0 | I mean ultimately he's going to get another three to five hundred million dollars from DC. |
| 0:11.0 | I mean that's obviously been something to consider but I never strongly |
| 0:16.0 | considered it as a bluff. Yeah the way I thought about it was the only way it |
| 0:22.2 | doesn't happen is if there these hurdles that you speak of. |
| 0:24.8 | You know the general assembly or whoever votes on this blocks it and it just disappears that way. |
