1:29:12and i want to give credit where credit's always do like with the previous administration that that

1:29:28from data and showing how how it's worked like exactly what counselor downer said um so

1:29:36i think that's an important takeaway for budget as well for myself and for counsel that

1:29:42the continuation of some of the programs education conservation like it's obviously

1:29:49shown over many many years that it works i think we need to continue to have that discussion at

1:29:54budget time that we're not um it meant there might be new ways of doing it cheaper i like that but
