to make you successful and make that
what you talk about, success,
you keep them out front.
Yes sir.
And by you keeping them out front,
you carry the other ones
that don't mention it
so that they can be able to make it
because they wouldn't be able
to make it on their own
by putting themselves out front.
That's true.
Yes sir.
Do understand what
Yes sir.
So by us mentioning it in its proper way
is what makes them successful,
what makes the Creator
make them successful.
Oh yes sir.
You understand, if we join them,
then they won't be successful
and neither will we.
That's true, sir.
We will be successful in
showing a successful side
of what you're not there to do.
Yes, sir.
Is that not true?
That's true, sir.
So that's why I'd like to the President
of United States of America
to have the person there, Master J,
that they work through,
they can make things,
they're going to make you
always keep it out front.
Yes, sir.
