9:00 sharp. They're not at work. >> What is this? >> Okay. So, Tyler, I don't know if you don't understand what you're hearing or you're being deliberately misleading to your audience. I prefer to believe the former that you simply didn't understand. There are minion. There are quorums for prayer. There are groups of people praying from when the sun comes up. Pretty much the first minion, the first prayer group. And then there's every 15 minutes or every 10 minutes. It's a big town. It's a big city. There are minanam every 10 minutes or 15 minutes depending. I don't live there so I would couldn't tell you exactly. But there are con constantly new groups of people having prayer services. Now every prayer services takes let's say between 30 and 40 minutes. So if somebody comes 6:00, he's done at 6:40. Somebody comes 6:40, he's done at 7:10. When someone says a McDonald's or a gym is open from 6:00 a.m. to midnight, that doesn't mean the same person is working in the McDonald's from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. This shifts when a gym is open 6:00 a.m. to midnight, it doesn't mean the person who you walk inside and he's on the treadmill jogging, doesn't mean he jogs from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. So, no, when they say people praying all day long, it does not mean, I'm sorry to disappoint you if this is what you thought, but we're not so special. We don't actually pray from the morning till the night as you heard from any of the other people you said you mentioned and interviewed in your video. In fact, you buried in the video so you could be fair but you buried in the video several people. One who said the different job they does bus driver, construction worker, office shop, mechanics work, people who have multiple jobs, people who work hard. But you don't want to show those people. You don't want to show the billboard guy who says people come to pray in the morning, then they go to work and some come back to pray in the evening. You had the answer. You chose to create a narrative around finding the elderly men with broken English or the people who I don't mean to be hurtful or insulting to them, but for whatever reason they don't have a job. They are, let's put it this way, there are people living in every area, including in Karas Joel, who are 100% eligible for various disability programs and government programs. I can find people like that anywhere and then I can go interview them and use them to make an entire community seem to be stupid. That's not the truth.
