- 58:47might
- 58:48be
- 58:48the
- 58:48actual
- 58:49year
- 58:49that

- 58:53can
- 58:54hold
- 58:54on
- 58:54very
- 58:54much
- 58:54longer,
- 58:55particularly
- 58:56since
- 58:56they're
- 58:56already
- 58:56now
- 58:57in
- 58:57another
- 58:57activist
- 58:58battle
- 58:58just
- 58:58after

- 58:59last
- 59:00one.
- 59:00So.
- 59:01And
- 59:01you
- 59:01know,
- 59:02strategically
- 59:02it
- 59:02just
- 59:03seems
- 59:03like
- 59:03a
