[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. Saying everything that's on my mind would have a cost that's too great for me right now. So I'd rather not get into too many details. I know I'm a foreigner, I live in this country. I am concerned, for sure.
