I SEE THE, THE AUDIENCE CAN'T SEE YOUR CLOCK.
BUT AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN ANY ORGANIZATION IS THE SECRETARY.
I'VE SERVED AS THE CHAIRMAN OF KLAN THREE SCHOOL BOARD, BUT MY SECRETARY WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON BECAUSE ONCE YOU HAVE MOTIONS AND ONCE THEY ADOPTED, THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STAND IN A COURT OF LAW.
SO THE SECRETARY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON.
NOW I'M SAYING THAT AS A FORMER CHAIRMAN, ELECTED CHAIRMAN, ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.
UM, TWO YEARS AGO, HURRICANE HELENE CAME THROUGH PARTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
WE KNOW WHAT IT DID AT THE ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
WE HAD 49 PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY DIE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
I DON'T KNOW ALL THEIR NAMES, BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
'CAUSE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE FAMILY THIS WEEKEND.
IT WAS SO HARD THAT HE COMMITTED SUICIDE AND I HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT 'CAUSE I'M A STATE CHAPLAIN.
NOW THIS THING ABOUT CRYING AND HOLLERING AND STUFF, I CAN'T DO THAT 'CAUSE I GOT TO BE STRONG FOR THE FAMILY.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, OF COURSE I, THERE WAS A 14-YEAR-OLD THAT WAS ANNOUNCED IN ON CORNY COUNTY TODAY, NO ONE FOR KILLING DOGS.
A DOG BIT ME WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND I TOLD THE CLARINE COUNTY SHERIFF, WHEN I'M OUT WALKING, IF A DOG TRY TO BITE ME, WELL SAY A PRAYER FOR THAT DOG.
NOW, THE ECONOMY, SLAVERY AND WEALTH IS WHAT THE BRITISH EMPIRE ACTUALLY MADE THEIR WEALTH OFF BECAUSE WE KNOW ABOUT COLONIZATION.
ACTUALLY SLAVERY STARTED IN AMERICA 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, 1526 IN WHEN Y'ALL MADE GEORGETOWN COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA.
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT NOW.
FBI, DIRECTOR BAILEY, HE QUIT.
SAY HE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS STUFF.
MR. GEORGE, YOU AT 30 SECONDS.
