And he's business owners are saying so what -- to do admit that somehow not bad well this man -- and they they speak up they said listen this is the First Amendment violation.

And I would agree because it's forcing them to take a position that they don't agree.

Amazing I guess -- against the cigarette manufacturers who who systematically kill people and do it and hid that fact about events and they all.

How does affect got a got there and stand there about I don't twist -- Fannie -- partly yeah -- -- -- -- -- these in these little make these cigarettes that lie about it and get people didn't admit our guest -- hit people so I think that people don't know by now that I answer that they deserve this but could wait no I don't wanna game.
