01:28 listen to everybody except the citizens of the Dutch.

01:45 You can be unhappy with the economic situation,

01:48 with the personal situation, but this should not be the reaction you have to give.

01:52 I'm worried for the future, for, yeah, for all people,

09:43 >> And at the moment she is.

09:45 >> Yeah.
