Hey everybody, welcome to the Sugar Daddy Podcast, where we help you build a clear financial plan so you can feel confident and in control of your money.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.840
Welcome back to our OGs.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.679
If you've been here a while, thank you for tuning in every Wednesday.
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:55.520
And if you're new here, we hope you'll stick around because we have a good time every Wednesday wherever you are listening to your podcasts.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.880
Hey, babe.
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.719
What are we talking about today?
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:05.519
Ugh, I don't even want to say the word, but today we are talking about Trump accounts.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.840
Yeah, if you guys are new, um, we don't keep it a hidden secret.
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:18.319
We are not Trump supporters, never have been, never will be, and to be honest, don't prefer not to be even associated with those who still support this man.
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.719
However, we are going to talk about Trump accounts because it is something that he is currently proposing.
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.920
And we want you guys to at least have the details to understand from a financial standpoint what these are and how they could be potentially beneficial.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:39.840
Yes, because even though it has his name in the title because he's a raging narcissist, uh, there could be financial benefits.
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.319
So we do want you to have the information, and then, you know, I like to say, do with that information what you will.
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:57.040
So we're here to educate and to answer some of the questions, maybe dispel some of the things kind of going around about them and educate you.
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:03.200
So that's what today's episode is for, regardless of what line you're on.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:11.039
And I also do want to kind of start the episode with this is not the first time that something of this nature has been proposed.
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:11.680
Okay.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:12.479
Sounds new.
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:13.759
Sounds new to the people.
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:14.960
It is not new.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.879
So let's, I mean, we'll go ahead and get into it.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.599
So I won't even, I we'll talk about that as we get into it.
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.199
Okay, where do you want to start?
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.639
Uh basically, first and foremost, like what is the Trump account?
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.240
And to kind of simplify it as best as possible, it is basically a government uh the investment account for a child.
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.000
So basically, what they're looking to propose to do is invest initial$1,000 from the government.
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.599
When I say from the government, I don't even like that term because the government isn't having money.
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.000
It's our money.
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:42.879
Yes.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.759
But the government is mismanaging our money at all times.
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.039
But it's going to Under all administrations, let's be clear.
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.439
Air quotes the government is going to deposit$1,000 into an investment account for a U.S.
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.520
born child, a citizen.
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:09.680
Now, the reason I was saying that this is not the first time that this ever been proposed because there has been proposals for this in the past, and even, you know, as recent with uh Corey Booker trying to do baby bonds, something similar to this as well.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:18.560
So I don't want the people to think that, like, hey, I have a negative take on this because I think there could be some benefits, but this isn't some nuanced new thing that Trump came up with.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:19.520
Like, let's be honest about this.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:27.759
This has been proposed numerous times, just unfortunately has not actually been put into law and passed, unfortunately.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.400
Okay.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.080
All right.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.560
So what is the Trump account?
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.280
I'll say it again.
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:47.120
The Trump account is an investment account that is being opened by the government for a, you know, a newborn child, and they're going to automatically deposit$1,000 into the account.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:47.599
Okay.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.199
But is it like an IRA?
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:50.240
No, it is not.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.680
Well, it has So that's what I'm asking.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.080
Okay.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.400
All right.
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.919
So it has some similar features of different accounts, all right?
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.240
Okay.
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.800
So the money's going to be deposited into the account.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.000
And the problem is here is that we actually don't even have all the details yet.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.439
Because it's not even available.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.000
Correct.
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.080
You cannot currently enroll in it, and all the details have not been finalized.
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.280
But as far as proposals that have been put out there, is that the money would be growing tax deferred.
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.639
That's the idea behind it, hopefully, because if not, then you know it's missing some benefits there.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.120
But um, the idea here is that it's uh the there's the child will invest, the parents can also invest up to$5,000 into the account.
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.720
Is that$5,000 a year or like total ever in its lifetime?
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.199
$5,000 a year is what they're proposing now that you can potentially put into the account.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:37.519
Okay.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.600
But the account has a restriction that you wouldn't be able to access it until you're 18 years old.
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.480
And the idea behind that is that it does have some flexibility in regards to what it could potentially be used for.
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:53.519
Um, main thing that you know most people think about is educational expenses, but it also could be potentially used for like a first-time home purchase.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.680
And they've even had some proposals out there where it could possibly be used for starting a business.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.879
But the main one that people are kind of thinking of is the education aspect.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:01.519
Okay.
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.120
So, but we already have accounts for education.
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:14.160
I 100% agree with you because For those of you driving or walking and not seeing my face, my face is one of confusion right now.
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.240
I'm like, wait, it's called a 529.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:16.879
What's happening?
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.720
So, like the I I'm going to infer some of like my thought process of maybe what I think they're thinking behind it.
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:22.959
Okay.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:33.120
But the idea behind it is that, you know, so many people um are so far behind when it comes to financial literacy and getting a you know a head start on the investment aspect.
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:40.720
So the idea is to kind of start an investment account so that people start to get money into the market so they can benefit from compound interest.
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.160
So that's one of the premises behind it as far as why they're I think they're trying to put it in place.
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:55.360
Now, what I actually think really is is that it's kind of putting a band-aid on a bigger problem that actually is the you know wealth gap disparity.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:04.000
Where it's kind of one of those things where, you know, there's a obviously there's a wealth gap, and there's a we have episodes on that, but there's a whole issue behind that.
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:10.720
But the idea is that they're trying to give breadcrumbs instead of actually, you know, the loaf of bread to the people.
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:22.480
Because there's a lot of issues in regards to why there's a wealth gap, which is one income in general, in regards to how people are paid, how salaries are not keeping up with the increased cost of goods.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.000
So that's a bigger issue.
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.639
But what we're talking about is this is that the idea behind this is to get people starting to invest early.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:41.600
And hopefully, you know, the way that we would look at it is that you start to have these conversations also with your child at a young age, as far as looking at these accounts as they get older and having that financial literacy conversation that we really need to have for so that they understand this at an early age.
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:48.959
Well, so I'm seeing a couple of things because I feel like we already know that most people don't invest.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.120
We know that the majority of people don't have financial literacy.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.480
We know that or aren't financially educated.
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.519
We know that people are underpaid.
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.920
We know people are living paycheck to paycheck.
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.560
We know that the cost of living, the cost of goods, inflation is not keeping up with the cost of wages.
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.879
So there's all these problems happening.
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:16.240
And now we have this account that is already an existing investment account, right?
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.920
Because you can go and open investment accounts for your children.
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.199
Hold on, let me finish.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:34.160
And then on top of that, we now have Trump's name on it, which is also going to alienate people from wanting to open this account because people are going to be like, no, I don't want to deal with him.
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.079
I don't trust anything he does, right?
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.759
Whatever your ideas are of him.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:51.120
So you've got all these, this huge group of people that's already struggling, already lacking the education needed to understand what investing is, how compound interest works, et cetera, et cetera.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.519
And now you slap the man's name on it.
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:58.720
So, like, aside from the fact that it's only for a very limited amount of people, right?
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:04.879
So people, babies born between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028.
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:06.800
So that, like, our kids aren't eligible.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.399
Yeah, that's as of now, like I said, there are like I feel like there's just so much wrong.
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:11.199
The final website.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:18.399
So here's the thing is like, in all honesty, I we're doing this because if it does come to fruition, we want you to have the information.
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:29.439
But the reality is that this could possibly not come to fruition just like all the other proposals beforehand, and then also all the empty promises that Trump is his entire, you know, presidential history has been full of.
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.040
I mean, it's our money, right?
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:36.000
So like it's our thousand, thousands of dollars in tax dollars.
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:53.679
So if somebody between this three-year age range right now takes the money for when it's available and puts the thousand dollars in, what would happen if this doesn't come to fruition, but people have, I mean, I guess it's like free government money that could also just go away at any point.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.919
So I'm gonna make sure I understand your question.
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:56.480
Okay.
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.679
So what I'm saying is that currently you cannot open this account.
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.480
It does not exist.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:00.799
All right.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.879
I'm talking about for when it is available.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:11.759
When it is available, hopefully, well, when it is available, first and foremost, I would say it's a free thousand dollar or quote unquote free thousand dollars.
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:18.480
So I would encourage every parent who has an eligible child to go ahead and open up the account and take the thousand dollars.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.639
So if you have a child between uh January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028, as of right now.
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.960
As of right now, I would once the account is available and you would have to probably proactively open up the account.
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.080
So keep it.
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.559
Which maybe there's gonna be instructions coming on this.
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:42.399
But I would open up the account, and the account is gonna be restricted to low-cost um stock market stock market index funds, which I think is also beneficial.
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:49.440
So it limits the complexity of like, you know, diving into individual stocks or cryptocurrencies or anything of that nature.
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.240
That's not gonna be an option as of right now within that account.
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.919
Oh, you can't buy his crypto.
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.679
We shall see.
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.559
But um the idea behind that.
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:03.120
Like raging on the inside already, and we're like four minutes into the episode.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:12.080
The idea behind it is that it is the investment account that is the basic, you know, investing strategies that I think most people should utilize.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.879
So it keeps it simple and gives you a free thousand dollars.
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.039
Okay.
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.679
That is honestly the most beneficial part of it right now.
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:38.720
Now, based upon the other accounts that you have available to you that you can simply open up on your own and also the track record of this current administration, I would never put any additional money into this account personally, because the benefits that come with this account are available to you in other accounts that not are associated with the government.
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.120
Right.
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.720
And also this administration.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.080
So, you know, we're going to get into some more details, but at first, I would just open the account, take the$1,000, and you have to leave it in the account.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.320
You can't, you know, take it out, but invest it accordingly in that account and just have that thousand dollars there.
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:58.399
And anything else that you otherwise would have contributed to that account, open up another account and contribute there.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:04.080
Because the first thing I always tell people is what is the purpose of the account that you're opening for your child?
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.840
Because you have to determine that first.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:20.399
Because, for example, if you're someone that is not all about your child going to college, you don't really necessarily think that's a path that they should go or are going to go, whatever maybe, whatever your reasoning is, then you probably don't want to open a 529 plan, you know, because that's yeah, doesn't make sense.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:20.799
Right.
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:26.639
You might want to look at, you know, maybe an Utma account, a uniform transfer to minor account as an investment account for a child instead.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.240
But you always got to start out with the purpose.
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.679
So, for example, with us, we have multiple accounts for our children, and it's because we have multiple purposes.
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:39.679
So we have a 529 plan that can be used for educational expenses for our child, and there's benefits to that.
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.279
But then we also do have the UTMA as well, because there's benefits to that as well.
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:54.320
So, like I said, you really need to understand what the accounts, the pros and cons of each account, and then based upon your situation, what the goal you're trying to achieve determines on what you know avenue or both, you know, a little bit of both that you take.
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:55.039
Right.
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:55.600
Okay.
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.279
I think that's sound advice.
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:09.840
I mean, my take as a non-licensed professional is I don't want to give the government any more money because I'm already ticked off every single time I see all the money they take out of all of my paychecks.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.960
I 100% agree.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.480
So no, no, thank you.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.080
Because it also, too, all right.
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:23.039
So if you're going to look at the Trump account as an educational account, one, if you want to put more money into an educational account, you have limits with the Trump account.
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.759
Whereas the 529 plan has higher contribution limits.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.080
Right.
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:34.720
Now, also, too, is that um with a 529 plan, let's say, for example, you want to send your child to a private school, K through 12.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:40.960
You can use a 529 plan to pay for educational expenses for K through 12 private schools.
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.440
Oh.
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:47.519
You don't have that option in the Trump account as written now because you're not able to access it until 18 years old.
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.000
Right.
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.879
And then so, like, honestly, just like everything else that Trump kind of does, he does a crappier version of it.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:01.120
And once again, he creates another account that he's trying to do something, but there's already an account that exists that's better.
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.279
Once again, he's a mediocre white man doing mediocre things.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.759
Mediocre feels generous.
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.480
That is very true.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.080
He's wealthy, so that kind of that kind of like levels it up because he has money.
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.399
That's without the um stolen money.
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.600
That's about it.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.639
Stolen money.
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:17.120
Okay.
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:24.320
Um, so let's talk about what a thousand dollars looks like once compound interest does what compound interest does.
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.879
Well, I mean, if you were to put the thousand dollars in, like I said, I wouldn't contribute anything else.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:33.039
But if you were looking at, you know, roughly a 7% annual rate of return.
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.639
Which is conservative, right?
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:34.799
Yeah.
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:40.799
You could be looking at almost$3,500 if you started the account when the child was born to when they're 18 years old.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:42.080
And that's just compound interest.
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:44.240
That's not contributing anything else additionally.
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:50.000
I mean, you're not going to do much with$3,500, especially 18 years into the future.
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.159
Mostly if it's going to use them for college.
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:52.639
Right.
00:13:52.799 --> 00:14:08.639
So you can the idea behind it, like I said, I really think that like when pe when they roll out these types of, you know, quote unquote financial literacy or attempts to help people financially, it's like they need to also provide the more important part, the education.
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.600
Where it's like, okay, you have a thousand dollar account, you know, let's contribute something additionally each, you know, each month.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.559
And show them what that will do, how compounds are you?
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:33.919
Even if it's just like we've talked about this before, even if it's just$25 a month,$50 a month,$10 a month, the contributions on a continual basis each month, along with compound interest, can make a huge difference in, you know, 18, 20 years.
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:34.639
Right.
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:43.200
But like I said, I would never contribute anything additional to this account, as we said, because right now they take Social Security out of our check every uh you know, every pay pay.
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:44.639
Uh don't get me started.
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.759
More than likely, we're not going to see that.
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.320
Nope.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:49.039
You're welcome.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.600
You're welcome.
00:14:49.840 --> 00:15:00.559
You really need to focus on the idea, like I said, like the idea of taking the free money, investing it, but then opening up a different type of account that actually makes more sense for you and you have 100% control.
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.440
Yes.
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.759
Also, too, you have a lot, you're probably going to have a lot more options as far as what you can invest into these other accounts.
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:06.240
Right.
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:24.559
Which again, there's a portion of financial education that has to go with that to know what the other accounts are, what compounding is, how do you actually invest so that you're not just putting money into an account and it's sitting there in cash.
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.279
You're actually buying, you know, your assets with it.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.399
I mean, there's so much.
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:28.879
Yeah.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:36.480
That like I said, the only benefit of this account, in my viewpoint, and I will admit, I am 100% biased because I cannot stand this man and I don't trust him.
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:44.159
However, if you just look at the details of the account and I take my bias out of it, the only benefit of the account is the free money.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.440
Because anything else you can do in other accounts.
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.360
There's nothing that this account does that you could not do somewhere else.
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:51.679
Right.
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.720
And I want to I want to, you know, really make sure people understand that.
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.399
This account is not something special.
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.399
The only benefit is the free money.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.600
Free.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.120
Our tax dollar money.
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:01.759
Yeah.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:10.720
So I mean, like Brandon said, if you have a kid that qualifies from those dates, take the thousand dollars and then open the account and let it sit there.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.840
And don't forget about it.
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.200
Here's one thing I want to point out where some people may view it as a benefit.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:22.080
I also I may I don't necessarily view it as a benefit, is that this account is available to anyone.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.960
Anyone that has a child that's eligible.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:31.919
So what that means is that someone that is a multimillionaire or a multi-billionaire still has access to this account.
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.399
Yeah.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:34.320
Which I think is nonsense.
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.559
Because I understand about being equal, but let's be honest, that doesn't make sense.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.000
If your parents are already billionaires, you don't need to thousand dollars.
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.120
Because citizens.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:53.519
The other um, the other proposals that have happened more specifically, Corey Booker's, I want to believe it was called like baby bonds, it was kind of tiered based on your income.
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:59.759
So for example, those households that had lower income would have received more money than those houses that have higher incomes.
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.159
Right.
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:07.039
Which I think if you are a good person and you have a higher income than say somebody else, then you've you understand that.
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.759
Yeah.
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.839
Well, that's just, but you know, here's the thing about that.
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:19.759
We are also the people that are like, yes, I would love my tax dollars to go to feeding every kid in public school.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.839
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:21.679
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:22.559
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.480
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.199
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.440
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.079
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:41.840
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.840
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.679
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:55.520
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.880
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.719
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:05.519
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.840
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:18.319
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.719
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:31.920
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:39.840
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.319
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:57.040
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:03.200
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:11.039
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:11.680
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:12.479
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:13.759
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:14.960
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.879
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.599
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.199
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.639
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:32.240
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:38.000
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.599
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.000
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:42.879
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.759
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.039
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.439
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.520
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:09.680
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:18.560
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:19.520
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:27.759
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.400
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.080
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.560
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.280
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:47.120
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:47.599
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.199
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:50.240
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.680
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.080
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.400
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.919
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.240
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.800
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.000
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.439
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.000
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.080

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.680
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.879
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:01.519
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.120
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:14.160

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:40.720
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.160
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:55.360
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:04.000
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:10.720

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.960
