[3:46:47] I wonder, on this typewriter, go out and type that off and bring it right back in, please.
[3:46:56] Now, so that I can get this started, Rose, could I send some pages over to have Marge start working on it?
[3:47:02] I need something in the speech typewriter.
[3:47:05] Is she there?
[3:47:07] Okay.
[3:47:07] Ever come over here, please.
[3:47:11] I would be reluctant to excuse myself, but I think if you have this in hand now, I would work on those batteries because we've got a little dead end.
[3:47:20] Checking on two details.
[3:47:22] Now, I'll do a question for you.
[3:47:23] I don't have your service here, but I'll check it.
[3:47:27] This feels good to you, but it does.
[3:47:28] I know it does.
[3:47:29] Every little point where I had any hesitation was all kind of mine.
[3:47:34] I can't wait until 730.
[3:47:42] I share this view as a traditional conservative.
[3:48:01] See, Whitman didn't put the bonus necessarily on the judiciary.
[3:48:06] So, for your, uh, following his code, I share this view.
[3:48:11] I share this view as a judicial conservative.
[3:48:14] I strongly share this view.
[3:48:15] And that's a new paragraph.
[3:48:18] That's a very good point.
[3:48:20] That's a judicial conservative.
[3:48:25] That's right.
[3:48:25] As a judicial conservative, I believe that the
[3:48:30] and the court decisions have all been balanced to the right side.
[3:48:38] I'm on record on that.
[3:48:39] I've sent down the no-knock and the wiretap and everything else, so they all know that.
[3:48:44] They need to protect the people from criminal elements.
[3:48:48] I'm confident that we can accomplish this goal without compromise.
[3:48:56] Our precious president.
[3:48:58] I think we got it there.
[3:49:05] All right, you can go now.
[3:49:11] I'll be right there.
[3:49:35] I strongly share this view, it follows right after the Lipman quote, and not as a second paragraph.
[3:49:50] I strongly share this view.
[3:49:52] And then, this paragraph, as a traditional conservative,
[3:50:13] I could make the change to the first couple pages, but not to the start page.
[3:50:27] The first part of the page is not good yet.
[3:50:44] Uh, put in uh...
[3:51:03] Start this page with the 11, 21 months ago and then end that with COVID.
[3:51:06] My sentence, I strongly share this too.
[3:51:08] And then come on with a paragraph that appears in the past few years.
[3:51:19] The word balance.
[3:51:21] And then say, as a traditional conservative,
[3:51:31] Okay, just type the page like that.
[3:51:45] In other words, just type this right here on.
[3:51:51] I'll just pull this.
[3:51:55] All right.
[3:52:09] Come on, let's go.
[3:52:43] Mr. Spivey, you are ready.
[3:53:12] Page four is what I want to see.
[3:53:26] I don't think you have this.
[3:53:34] Where is page four?
[3:53:37] Did I say let me give an example which bears
[3:53:41] You started to change it.
[3:53:43] You sent the copy.
[3:53:44] I don't have that copy.
[3:53:45] Marge has your original.
[3:53:46] And I didn't.
[3:53:48] We were reading it for too long.
[3:53:59] You want to get that from her?
[3:54:00] That's not...
[3:54:17] There's something else on the bottom of page four of the monitor that you should take with another.
[3:54:23] Let me give an example which varies specifically on that point.
[3:54:26] You had written that.
[3:54:28] See, that's why I should get it from her.
[3:54:29] I didn't, you didn't give me that.
[3:54:31] Hold on, I'll ask her what it is.
[3:54:39] What's your own project, at least?
[3:54:40] Yeah.
[3:54:47] Yeah, it throws.
[3:54:48] Put it around.
[3:54:56] All right, what's the bottom page for?
[3:55:03] Let me give you an example.
[3:55:08] Oh, what's that philosophy mean?
[3:55:13] Well, you had changed it, but see, I didn't have it for the car.
[3:55:17] All right, fine.
[3:55:19] Okay, thanks.
[3:55:40] I don't have a copy out for that site.
[3:55:50] It's in that page I typed.
[3:55:58] Yeah, it's still in the page.
[3:56:11] Yes, see, but I didn't have that page that we did over out there, so I couldn't...
[3:56:27] So I can see what it looks like, just the way you wrote it over again.
[3:56:41] I strongly share this view.
[3:56:49] There's the P.F.
[3:56:51] in this paragraph.
[3:56:55] This is like results and so forth.
[3:56:59] There's A here.
[3:57:02] That's A.
[3:57:03] That's A.
[3:57:06] I share with you, you want up there, and then you want this.
[3:57:16] No.
[3:57:16] That all comes in.
[3:57:18] Then that paragraph.
[3:57:24] Then this paragraph.
[3:57:28] And then,
[3:57:36] But the one that I don't have the finish of the sentence is this, I believe we can, and this is it right here.
[3:58:10] Check.
[3:58:14] Chief Justice Marshall from Virginia.
[3:58:18] Call me back.
[3:58:21] Yeah.
[3:58:29] Yeah.
[3:58:30] Yeah.
[3:58:36] Thank you.
[3:58:40] Thank you.
