[Music] My challenge in life I was put into the prison with a sentence of 27 years a terrible gazer and I took it with a hashem. Hashem is with me. I'm not alone but Hashem will help me. My job was to stay connected to Hashem to mitzvah even in such a place. One of the favorite pastimes over there everybody's there sitting for a long time. They were watching all these screens, all the shows, the sports, whatever they were watching. Right in the beginning, Hashem watching. Right in the beginning, Hashem helped me make the right decision. I'm not watching any of these things. I'm going to use my time with my I'm going to let my connect with the and there I'm going to find the peace I was looking for, the happiness I was looking for. And so I did it. How did they get the audio? The video was all there. The audio came through a radio initially and then they sold MP3 players so people can download songs onto MP3 player.
