25:28 Notice is kind of you know, that sounds like it's it's kind of there, but I guess we won't really know until tomorrow We'll really know. All right So the State of the Union Queen Ursula went into the now they did this in Strasbourg Which is feels like it's much bigger than than Brussels that that that hemi circle whatever they call it that huge, you know theater where they all everyone sits there and And just like real Starfleet command stuff. They put a lot of money into these things. Oh yeah, well they have to, right? They switch off during the week, like every two weeks we go there, then we go back there, and everyone has double officers. Is there, Elsos got a place where they go to that? No, no, it's Brussels and this place, what did I just say? What's it called? I thought it was, I thought there was an Elsation. No, Strasbourg. No, Strasbourg. Strasbourg, okay. Well, Strasbourg's where's that? Elsos.
26:22 Strasbourg is in... where is it Strasbourg? In Luxembourg, isn't it? No, it's in France. Oh, it is in the Alsace, you're right. Okay, my bad. Okay, so this is the big moment and she walks in and she has on a really canary yellow jacket. And then you see this was almost like C-SPAN, State of the Union, red carpet. And she walks in a woman by her side and they say, oh she has the yellow jacket and she has a blue shirt on. Oh wait! All the women are wearing yellow and blue because it's for Ukraine. Oh please. It's for Ukraine and she's with... Disgusting. And she's with Zolensky's wife.
27:10 And she's, you know, they're smiling, they're hamming it up for the cameras and then they sit down and she sits next to her and then she's just solemn throughout the whole thing. When she smiles, she's pretty, but when she's solemn, she's like more sullen kind of. Yeah, it's like that Seinfeld episode where he's dating this one girl. The lighting was right, she was beautiful and any little shadow, she looked terrible. It was a very funny episode. Was that George who had that or was it Seinfeld himself? No, no, it was some girl that Jerry was dating. I think it was Jerry dating her. And they had to bring her into the bright light because she was so pretty. I think RBF is what the issue is here, also known as resting bitch face. So,
27:56 And she started now, this was super interesting to me, she did it in three languages. French, English, German, back to English. And different sections were obviously in different languages and I think that was not a mistake. She actually started off right away because it went from look at me wearing Ukraine yellow to climate change, like right in the beginning, right away we're going straight into climate change. But she did this whole part in French and I think that the French must have been pissed off about the wildfires or something like that and so she goes into this immediate, oh no we're getting the gear, we're hooking you up Frenchies. These events are becoming more and more frequent and more and more intense. Europe needs more capacity.
28:45 That's why today I announced that we will double our capacity for firefighting. Over the course of the coming year, the European Union will buy 10 light aircraft and three additional helicopters to complete its fleet. That is European solidarity in practice. So we're buying something probably Eurocopters. That's why she's so clear about it. There's not enough capacity in those things to do Jack. You need a big plane. Again, this is all messaging pandering and she introduced a couple of concepts and is starting to put phrases together into her grand vision. Her grand vision for Europe. And honorable members, the future of our children needs both.
29:39 that we invest in sustainability, but also that we invest sustainably. We must finance the transition to a digital and net zero economy. And yet, we also have to acknowledge a new reality of higher public debt. We need fiscal rules that allow for strategic investment while safeguarding fiscal sustainability. Okay, so she says a couple of interesting things here. And that sound that is directly from the EU recording, unfortunately. But it makes it... The ding? No, not the dings. It has a little bit of an echo-y, like a creepy kind of sound. Makes her sound a little bit like a robot. Oh, so the auditorium sound. Yeah, so she talks about
30:31 By the way, I want to say normally I think this kind of these clips are boring But I think this is very important in this and I know it's good that we're taking these apart Yeah, and that's why I made them as short as possible. I mean I'm talking under a minute where I could yeah, she's terrible So she said net zero we know what that's about but then the the digital Yeah, she said net zero digital economy. Yes, and the digital... In other words, we're taking your money away. That's what it is! And right after that she says we have to have fiscal rules.
31:09 We're taking your money away, we're also taking your car away. Well fiscal rules means that... And you're heating by the way, you're gonna freeze to death. It's just the way it is, peons. This is exactly, your analysis is correct, but the words are important because when she says fiscal, oh now you're talking about taxation, now you're talking about not just monetary, fiscal. Now they actually want to take your money and at the European Union level. And then she introduces the way that this will work is by having a new type of market economy. Oh really? A new type of market economy? This is good. I think this is what the communists are always trying to do. Yes, well, you may be correct. Because, Honorable Members, as we embark on this transition in our economy,
31:59 We must rely on the enduring values of the social market economy. It's the beautiful simple idea that Europe's greatest strength lies in each and every one of us. Our social market economy encourages everyone to excel, but it also takes care of the fragility as human beings. It covers the big risks of life, like poverty, sickness, age. It rewards performance and guarantees protection. It opens opportunities, but it also sets limits. And we need this today even more than ever.
32:45 because the strength of our social market economy... Did she say we need to pay more than ever? Let me see. But it also sets limits and we need this today even more than ever. Well, we need this today more than ever. Because the strength of our social market economy will drive the green and the digital transition. Dude, this is a bumper sticker and a t-shirt. The social market economy will drive because the strength of our social market economy
33:21 will drive the green and the digital transition. It will drive the dream and the digital transition. What dream? The one everyone's living right now. Hold on, let me finish the clip. Will drive the green and the digital transition. And our Achilles heel for the small and medium enterprises are basically three things. It's do we have an enabling business environment It's a question, do we have a workforce with the right skills and do we have access to raw materials our industry needs?
34:03 So she got three no's there at the end, but that's okay. She never says anything. Well, she actually delved into this a little bit, but I did like the dream of the digital trans, like what? No, the dream and. Yes, the dream. It wasn't the dream of. The dream and. It's her dream. So there's a dream. There's some sort of a hypothetical dream she's talking about. What is she talking about? What is specifically that dream? Socialism where you know, yeah exactly nailed it. But she's saying is she's saying, you know, it's like well we reward people who do well, but not too well. She literally said that make sure you don't do too well. But if you fall off a cliff, you know, you won't starve. So just stay stay within the guardrails be good. We'll take care of everything. Yeah. I mean that's that's the Atlas shrug bit that I'm talking about. So about these three things.
