- 9:21need
- 9:21to
- 9:22be
- 9:22worked
- 9:22out.
- 9:22But
- 9:23what
- 9:23I
- 9:23think
- 9:23is
- 9:24the
- 9:24biggest
- 9:24news
- 9:24is
- 9:24that
- 9:24Target's
- 9:25actually
- 9:25talking
- 9:25about
- 9:26this.
- 9:26They're
- 9:26talking
- 9:27about
- 9:27it
- 9:27in
- 9:27the
- 9:28industry
- 9:28in
- 9:28ways
- 9:29that
- 9:29we
- 9:29haven't
- 9:29seen

- 9:30or
- 9:31talk
- 9:31about
