00:00I am recording this. Fair warning. Isn't that really necessary?
00:08Look. Joe. Six feet.
00:15Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam.
00:22Is that praying?
00:23Where the deer and the ant will quake.
00:28How did we get him?
00:30And even worse, is it worth it?
00:32At the cost of being at war with your neighbors?
00:38That's why I'm running for mayor.
00:43Mayor, I didn't see you.
00:45Thank you super duper very much.
00:50I used to think that you were some big deal.
00:53But I am a much better human being than you.
00:57Who are you talking to? There's nobody here.
00:59I'm talking to you.
01:05Husband? Sheriff?
01:07Mayor to Pete.
01:11You want things simple and neat.
01:15We were in a fight against evil.
01:19These are your streets.
01:22No, they're your streets to be safe.
01:23Shut it down! Shut it down!
01:26You know how death works, yeah.
01:32People are gonna be looking here now.
01:36Keep your own office going, but you're gonna run mine.
01:39So you vote Joe Cross?
01:41Take back our community?
01:43Hell yeah.
01:44Save our soul.
01:52Your pain is not a coincidence.
01:57You are not a coincidence.
01:58We are not a coincidence.
02:00We need to free each other's hearts.
02:13We need to be safe.
