Probably a nonzero chance that it might be one of nonzero chance that it might be one of these two reasons why this incident these two reasons why this incident occurred. Now, I do want to end by occurred. Now, I do want to end by addressing the conspiratorial nature of addressing the conspiratorial nature of this report or specifically the private this report or specifically the private feedback that I've been getting of how feedback that I've been getting of how could you engage in this crazy could you engage in this crazy
9:09conspiracy in a time like this? And I conspiracy in a time like this?

If the outcome is the same regardless, if outcome is the same regardless, if they're just going to do all these
10:09they're just going to do all these things that they want to do, then the things that they want to do, then the event itself being real or stage sort of event itself being real or stage sort of becomes a point of irrelevance.
