[1:51:28] No, I didn't mean to say that.
[1:51:33] I think you were trying to say that.
[1:51:36] I saw your schedule and told Paul.
[1:51:53] We've still got a chance to make this up.
[1:51:55] Could I, I just have two accrues, I think.
[1:51:58] You should be an accruer of the court.
[1:52:00] Not an accruer, but I think they have someone to say something.
[1:52:03] I sent him a copy.
[1:52:06] I figured he's down.
[1:52:06] He's happy with it now.
[1:52:07] It was damned good.
[1:52:09] He's kind of, you know, you told him I was going to leave, but then he should take over and he doesn't have to come down and then take it.
[1:52:22] Can I suggest from page seven?
[1:52:31] Old Ziegler, have you talked to him?
[1:52:39] No.
[1:52:39] He really is?
[1:52:40] Yeah.
[1:52:41] Yeah.
[1:52:52] You call me?
[1:52:54] Could you change the word on page seven, many Americans who believe in the monarchy of the United States of America?
[1:53:12] And could I suggest, because we covered all of it, which includes vows,
[1:53:44] Now,
[1:54:11] One point which I just want to be sure you don't feel leaves a impression, I guess, other than this last five minutes.
[1:54:23] I wonder if that leaves Ukraine as a plot of an overall settlement.
[1:54:30] Nine months after an overall settlement.
[1:54:33] After an agreement on an overall settlement.
[1:54:37] Yes.
[1:54:38] After an agreement on an overall settlement.
[1:54:45] I think that's after an agreement on an overall settlement.
[1:54:52] You see, then we don't leave the impression to ask somebody.
[1:54:58] I know this sounds too suspicious.
[1:55:00] No, no, no.
[1:55:01] I know that the president, I've practically noted that before myself and then slipped my mind into it.
[1:55:05] But I want you to respond to this.
[1:55:08] We can't answer them all.
[1:55:10] Thank you.
[1:55:18] Thank you.
[1:55:22] Now, I do think we should put this thing, this thing, on page 15.
[1:55:27] Well, you don't have my button, you don't have mine.
[1:55:31] Rather than although, use the word but, of the election.
[1:55:37] Although, it doesn't make this point sharply, the election.
[1:55:41] Although, it changes the button.
[1:55:46] Good.
[1:55:46] And also on the same page, you'll undertake a major reconstruction throughout all of China, including North Vietnam.
[1:55:54] You can see it throughout all of China, including North Vietnam.
[1:56:00] See what's going on.
[1:56:01] I should say that.
[1:56:02] No one will know.
[1:56:03] No one will know.
[1:56:05] We had that, I think, you know.
[1:56:07] No.
[1:56:08] We did.
[1:56:09] We've had it in other drafts, but it's not in this one.
[1:56:13] No, no.
[1:56:13] I just want to make sure we're mentioning it on August 16th.
[1:56:17] I just want to make sure.
[1:56:18] No, we don't need... We've covered the fact that on the other one that our plan included...
[1:56:24] I'm going to go back, hard and softly, and I'm just going to drop the July 26th meeting.
[1:56:29] I was used to each other going to the LK.
[1:56:33] That's fine.
[1:56:33] We'll do it another time.
[1:56:48] I've had a problem with that, and so on.
[1:56:50] And you'll be had for a year.
[1:56:51] And I'll show them the experts' speech, and they'll take it, and they'll take it, and they'll take it.
[1:56:59] And since I was there, I'd like to start with that.
[1:57:03] If you'd like it, I don't...
[1:57:06] I don't want to...
[1:57:07] I guess I'm asking your judgment, you know, for another time.
[1:57:11] My judgment is, Mr. President, it adds a little...
[1:57:15] If the French would like it, and it adds a little to the mystery...
[1:57:18] If the French would cooperate, and how can they say that they didn't help?
[1:57:23] They said, we don't... Well, we're just saying...
[1:57:29] And also, it's a very high level, right?
[1:57:37] That's what I'm saying.
[1:57:39] That's what I'm saying.
[1:57:40] That's what I'm saying.
[1:57:49] That's what I'm saying.
[1:57:59] I'll put it on that.
