[2:12:39] Well, for the PM, Jim, let's let him.
[2:12:41] Yeah, let his run today and let him run tomorrow.
[2:12:44] Let our co-run tomorrow.
[2:12:46] And, uh,
[2:12:50] ... ... ... ... ...
[2:13:22] so so so
[2:13:53] Yeah, that's a pretty good visual.
[2:13:53] But that's just a good recording now.
[2:13:54] I'm just waiting on that guy to get ready for the meeting.
[2:14:23] I was going to ask you one thing.
[2:14:25] That envelope is one of the tapes that you want to save, isn't it?
[2:14:35] The tape that came back from Captain David.
[2:14:48] Is that a personal one?
[2:14:49] They must have taken all of it.
[2:14:52] Yeah, when you leave one on the machine, they take it off.
[2:14:55] All right, fine.
[2:14:56] That's just .
[2:14:59] Oh, it's a .
[2:15:00] Our person .
[2:15:23] Then I should plan on going home later.
[2:15:24] Does anybody know what I'm saying?
[2:15:50] We are, we're not sick, we're not ill.
[2:16:44] I just wanted to tell you, I did see Mr. Andrews doing this.
[2:16:48] He came in and he said, I guess, I did not count how many blocks he got in the basement.
[2:16:54] I had some time to make sure, you know, that I could count the doors.
[2:17:00] You know, if I didn't like sitting out there and blocking the doors.
[2:17:04] I'm not going to take it to him.
[2:17:05] I want to make sure it's not me.
[2:17:14] The right side and the left side.
[2:17:19] That's what we got our share.
[2:17:21] I had a teen, six and a half years old.
[2:17:26] This one, she wants to be terribly careful every time she makes all these vibrations.
[2:17:34] She did this.
[2:17:35] She gets the feeling that a man with a cloth, having a great extension, is already worn to, or is not yet re-wrapped.
[2:17:43] And she was saying to me, extremely, extremely careful.
[2:17:49] She doesn't, you know, she's factioned in China, so.
[2:17:53] Then she says, too, please do not send to Moscow to prepare for your trip there.
[2:18:00] Any of the same things you sent to China.
[2:18:04] As I get it, it would be much better to send one of your trusted paid rather than a digital ad or foreign policy advisor.
[2:18:09] Because this mission in Moscow is a great commitment to the presidency and the president.
[2:18:13] Not to mention the bearing on the peace and security of our country and peace in the whole world.
[2:18:17] We are going to send a mission to Moscow in order to do this.
[2:18:21] We have relations with them.
[2:18:22] Well, I didn't... That's a good point, I think.
[2:18:37] And did you adjust to him?
[2:18:39] I think I did.
[2:18:40] Asa Rogers thanked John for it, and she's like, Richard, you know, remembered I want to be honorary commissioned or something.
[2:18:48] He's coaching a film lady.
[2:18:50] Of course, you did tell her he's a great, you know, top of the thread negotiator.
[2:18:56] He wants to get away with it.
[2:19:00] Oh, sure.
[2:19:01] We could do that for a while.
[2:19:03] Yeah.
[2:19:03] All right.
[2:19:04] Sure you did, sure you did.
[2:19:07] Then, with a letter from Duke,
[2:19:32] They're celebrating the 25th anniversary.
[2:19:35] They're hoping to get a goal of a million and a half million people to double what they did before.
[2:19:55] This doesn't seem to make any sense.
[2:19:57] You're not going to have a party, as I understand it now,
[2:20:02] They were asking, they had Pearl Bailey and Pat Boone family.
[2:20:05] They were asking what your favorite Christmas song was.
[2:20:12] Well, they're going to have parties, but we're not the ones that will be present.
[2:20:17] They could still say they were singing a song in favor of yours and Boone's.
[2:20:21] Sure.
[2:20:22] Do you have a special favorite?
[2:20:23] Pat Boone's famous song, Pearl Bailey and Christmas.
[2:20:29] They were, first they were trying to get Christy to do that.
[2:20:33] That could only be if he were here to get, because you can't do a program on that.
[2:20:39] That's really Christy's dog.
[2:20:41] Oh, it is Christy.
[2:22:33] Let's see, do you have one that you used to like as an old phone?
[2:22:42] I think I've heard Paul Darby telling me about how beautiful it was when he played Silent Night for those little Hungarian refugees.
[2:23:34] Now, even that little 13-year-old or whatever it is, looking at this kind of stone, it's like one number, the night of your dinner at the 7th.
[2:23:43] Now, I did not put the stones on the dinner.
[2:23:46] I don't think they have to be here.
[2:23:52] I don't think so.
[2:23:55] Well, they've been here, and I don't really think you need to, because you've heard the girl, and you're doing her a better favor.
[2:24:04] Where did the mother come in for the entertainment?
[2:24:05] Because the girl's too young to be a big fan.
[2:24:08] She accepted all the entertainment, right?
[2:24:11] No, no, yeah.
[2:24:11] A father or something.
[2:24:12] So, yeah, no entertainer later.
[2:24:16] I don't...
[2:24:16] This was played once on... Why don't you go and play it?
[2:24:21] You can get to the end.
[2:24:22] That's what I'm going to do.
[2:24:26] All right.
[2:24:26] I just want to cover it.
[2:24:31] That's all I'm going to do.
[2:24:33] Charlie Ryan said... You've got to be careful not to make any more promises.
[2:24:38] I know, it's so hard.
[2:24:40] Charlie Ryan said that at a law school, he and a student, Leon Rice, distributed copies to each of the fellows of their law school application.
[2:24:47] And he thought, he probably brought yours, he thought he might like to see your answers.
[2:24:52] What's the answer?
[2:25:10] And there's another nice letter of it, with on two leaves.
[2:25:16] That's from that cancer dinner, too.
[2:25:24] I'll see if I have a job.
[2:25:27] Let's see if I have a job.
[2:25:36] Well, I don't know what to do about it.
[2:25:37] I don't know either.
[2:25:38] We can't do anything about it.
[2:25:39] This is about his client who did...
[2:25:42] He had sent this once before.
[2:25:43] I don't know if you remember this.
[2:25:45] He says he works completely from pictures.
[2:25:47] Is that a column?
[2:25:49] Yeah, this is a column.
[2:25:50] You see all the different stages of his life.
[2:25:54] He sent this to us a couple of years ago.
[2:25:56] But he's a nice dude.
[2:26:04] They like to be over there and do whatever it is, and of course take pictures.
[2:26:06] Oh, good job.
[2:26:07] Not now.
[2:26:07] We ought to try this.
[2:26:35] company very very long did you want that to be one of the two of you and then just say to him with this which is by his friend Richard Dixon or did you want Pat doesn't have to sign that one they had gotten it yeah
[2:27:07] Thank you.
[2:27:07] Thank you.
[2:27:08] Thank you.
[2:27:36] Tom James Lowe has, he has the original notes of Arlington High School.
[2:27:39] He speaks in Cleveland.
[2:27:40] Yeah.
[2:27:40] He really should give those to the Aspen High Foundation.
[2:27:43] I'm pretty sure.
[2:27:44] Or to Arlington, or to Arlington.
[2:27:46] Anything to see in Washington.
[2:27:48] Aspen High gave them to us.
[2:27:49] I remember I was in Arlington, I was in the 7th grade.
[2:28:06] But then when that wire came about, the person parted it off.
[2:28:14] I don't know how great it was or something, but the rest of it, without that first thing, it sounded terribly curtain-like.
[2:28:27] It's a lesson that you're never really getting over that feeling.
[2:28:37] He also had some other friends.
[2:28:40] Oh, yeah, a lot of them.
[2:28:41] And they were working very hard.
[2:28:42] They were discussing how to export brains out of the world.
[2:28:44] So he'd never been in politics before.
[2:28:48] That's the kind of heat growth that I've taken on Agnew.
[2:28:51] Now, of course, this is Agnew.
[2:28:54] This is Agnew.
[2:28:59] I'm not Agnew.
[2:29:04] I'm not Agnew.
[2:29:07] I don't know what it was, some asides or something.
[2:29:19] I haven't talked with Joe.
[2:29:20] Somebody else had not done anything at all.
[2:29:24] I don't know if there was, no, it was since the dinner, I think.
[2:33:14] So I just thought, you know, I was upstairs and saw that in the news that they were going to recap others.
[2:33:20] And I just thought it would be good to have those wires.
[2:33:24] I didn't have time to go through and pull anything out.
[2:33:32] There's a good man in government.
[2:33:37] He's done.
[2:33:38] He's done.
[2:33:39] He's done.
[2:33:39] He's done.
[2:33:44] Or I've got to be, you know, or I've got to be, you know, to be taken away.
[2:33:52] Okay.
[2:33:52] It's not in that sense you're talking about, you know, like, and, and, and, and, and, and.
