BUT WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE
Time stamps are important.
9/3 [93] Immediately after he says "DECLINE" the Thunder starts [9:27] (9/3 to 10/28 = 55 days)
9/17 [17] Immediately after he says "DECLINE" the Music starts [9:17]
(9/17 to 11/1 = 45 days)
9/23 [23] 8 seconds [after] the Music starts [9:07] he says "BUT." (9/23 to 10/28 = 35 days)
I am sure this is all a coincidence. Right?
