[0:00] I don't believe I want to have one the week before Russia.
[0:19] I don't think you should.
[0:23] I think you ought to start in.
[0:29] do a couple before you go, and then start the three.
[0:34] And you can kind of pick it up early, early, soon.
[0:39] Well, my feeling is that the 11th is the best day for me.
[0:42] But if in May, I need the rest of the week of that time.
[0:48] I don't need to study Russian all the while.
[0:52] 11th.
[0:52] And then you see the 12th would fit in neatly.
[0:55] With that, it was a long part.
[1:00] Four weeks, then you go down to 10, you've got five weeks, and also if 10 is only two weeks from now, that would perhaps be probably three weeks from now.
[1:14] Doesn't that make a little more sense?
[1:25] If it does, then let's go for a hard movement on the fifth and sixth.
[1:26] Thank you, too.
[1:27] So I don't get the answer to the speech before the election.
[1:30] That may be over the top.
[1:33] That's what bothered me.
[1:35] Yeah.
[1:35] Stacking that onto the Suns of Italy.
[1:41] The same city.
[1:42] The Suns of Italy were incredible.
[1:43] I think they're damn good.
[1:50] The Suns of Italy is a Sunday night where you just want to do something that's more of a personal thing.
[1:56] Well, if you can get me a good speech, let's hit it.
[2:14] This sounds fiddly.
[2:18] I could do something very personal.
[2:24] The American ethics.
[2:25] Ethnic, so-called, right?
[2:28] On the other hand, there may be some other than that.
[2:33] Is there a Chicago or Cleveland?
[2:45] Yeah.
[2:46] I'd like to get a Chicago or something at this point.
[2:53] I think it's over the primary.
[2:54] You know, an indication of the trend of the times is that Aaron's had a hell of a close fight under your laws.
[2:58] I was scared to death for a while.
[3:03] But, you know, the whole, the whole thing was age.
[3:07] It wasn't only age and rebound from ourselves.
[3:11] Only the crossover and the whole together thing.
[3:15] But, uh...
[3:16] I've seen both him and Cox go to school together.
[3:42] people do it because they're very well let's try to show a lot yeah that's what I said I'll be heard or I'll be banned but cotton is always a practice and rural or rural west sudamerica holds up
[4:10] And he takes to the curb.
[4:15] He seems to be in great physical shape.
[4:32] He does.
[4:32] His job right through all those years.
[4:39] The other thing that you raised at one point that I think we ought to reconsider, if you think we could get the networks to pick it up, is to do that satellite press conference thing.
[4:58] I think it's a way to get a place where we could keep it on foreign policy.
[5:01] It would be like China to receive this, in the best sense of the word.
[5:10] and instant translation and that sort of thing.
[5:23] Yeah.
[5:25] Who is the ?
[5:27] I was thinking right after Russia.
[5:28] I'm going to find out.
[5:29] I think it would be.
[5:31] That wouldn't require, for me, the enormous preparation for the whole quote.
[5:38] But you can do it after Russia visited.
[5:55] He focused 99% on Russia.
[5:55] Okay.
[5:55] Okay.
