| 0:00.0 | Good afternoon. The purpose of today's statement is just for me to lament a few things I personally |
| 0:13.9 | cannot do and then remind people who can do those things that it'd be great if they would. |
| 0:25.0 | I am not a member of the rock band, the Rolling Stones. It is not in my purview to get up on stage |
| 0:34.5 | in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans and belt out numbers like satisfaction. You can't |
| 0:41.8 | always get what you want and honky-tongue women. If I were able to do these things, I would do them. |
| 0:52.7 | The existing guidelines for a Rolling Stones concert do not provide for me to take the stage |
| 1:01.1 | in that fashion. But the songs are there. They are well documented. They are not mine to sing. |
| 1:12.3 | Please, Rolling Stones, do your job. |
| 1:17.6 | The second, I am not a bird. On many occasions I have dreamed of taking flight, |
| 1:27.2 | soaring across the sky and feeling the air under my wings as I glide over mountains and lakes. |
| 1:36.3 | This is something I would do if it were in my power. |
| 1:42.4 | Existing human guidelines do not give me this power. It is clear however that birds |
| 1:50.9 | do enjoy the power of flight. On behalf of all of us, I ask birds, please do your job. |
| 2:01.7 | I think it would be awesome to play basketball in the NBA. As I have not been hired by one of the |
| 2:12.0 | teams in the league, it is not in my power to do that. It never was. I have been very clear about this. |
| 2:21.0 | If I had this power, I would use it. NBA players have the power to play in NBA games. |
| 2:33.6 | Please, NBA players, do your job. And finally, as I read the relevant statutes, I am not allowed |
| 2:46.3 | to take action against a sitting president with regard to clear obstruction of justice. |
| 2:52.4 | There is a body that is designed to do this. It's called Congress. Congress, do your job. |
