True,<01:13:16.380><c> the</c><01:13:16.460><c> principle</c><01:13:16.800><c> is</c><01:13:17.079><c> that</c><01:13:17.279><c> if</c><01:13:17.800><c> the</c><01:13:18.000><c> fathers</c><01:13:18.220><c> eat</c><01:13:18.439><c> sour</c><01:13:18.720><c> grapes,</c>

01:13:52.359 --> 01:13:53.399
Why?

01:13:54.539 --> 01:13:57.340

01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:57.000
And<01:28:54.659><c> I</c><01:28:54.840><c> repeat</c><01:28:55.180><c> the</c><01:28:55.399><c> warning,</c><01:28:55.760><c> brethren</c><01:28:55.939><c> and</c><01:28:56.159><c> sisters.</c>
