[0:00] So, yeah.
[0:18] Well, I was church today.
[0:24] So, yeah.
[0:24] Good for the soul.
[0:25] The, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh,
[0:32] I don't know if it's because of the patrons, but it's invigorating.
[0:48] It's not going to last very long.
[0:49] It starts in a very expensive way, you know.
[0:50] Maybe the truck parts, the oil storage in particular, is not going to last.
[0:52] I think it's going to last for a short amount of time.
[0:53] I don't know if it's going to last this long.
[0:54] I think it's going to last a long time.
[0:57] You're wonderful.
[1:11] I think he realizes that there's more than choice now.
[1:13] And of course, I think he should because none of them know the other card we're playing.
[1:18] Why the hell didn't they do it before?
[1:43] Staying in a couple of minutes, I want to check with you.
[2:00] I go to the camp stage at 1 o'clock.
[2:02] I'll be back tomorrow about 10 o'clock for the calmer lunch.
[2:03] No problem on that.
[2:04] I don't have any particular money.
[2:04] Well, perhaps it should be special to come.
[2:05] I don't know.
[2:05] I'll be at the camp stage.
[2:06] I don't want to be an excuse.
[2:07] The meaning of coming is that if you still would let mine, which you would,
[2:13] I'm really going to have to keep myself totally free for the next week at least.
[2:43] through this week, this year.
[3:03] I have to do one exception.
[3:04] Well, it is the cabinet thing.
[3:04] If you feel we ought to have a cabinet meeting tonight, well, it may be that it just would be good.
[3:06] And I guess that we can't have it without myself, sure.
[3:07] But I think what would happen then is that Frankie can have a cabinet meeting and not have to be good.
[3:11] And that Roger and Claire do great.
[3:12] You know, if you want the heroin.
[3:13] I mean, I don't know.
[3:13] He said, that's good.
[3:31] Well, then they give a briefing.
[3:32] They give a briefing on the situation.
[3:36] Just say to the captain, there will be a briefing on the whatnot situation.
[3:39] That roger is clear to be there to do it.
[3:40] And maybe the ship is.
[3:40] So here the captain teaches you.
[3:41] Well, how about this?
[3:41] This is the substitution.
[3:42] Now, more of that bunch, they have briefed.
[3:52] You might come more later.
[3:54] They have briefed the Congress and Senators.
[3:55] They should tell the cabin officers that they will do that and brief them on the military situation.
[3:57] How does that sound to you?
[3:58] So that they'll know what's going on.
[4:09] You know, one of the roads there, just put it on for those who want to attend.
[4:31] Yeah, I'm trying to figure.
[4:32] There is a briefing in the members of Kim and EPSA.
[4:33] Kim, you're providing a big lecture.
[4:34] Yeah, I wonder if that is.
[4:34] But it's huge.
[4:35] We can hold on that for tomorrow, I think.
[4:37] Well, let me say this.
[5:04] sometimes let's look at it tomorrow.
[5:26] On the other hand, there's one thing.
[5:28] In this period, I've got to count on you two.
[5:28] You've got to get the coasts memorized.
[5:29] And I'm not going to talk to them in order to break the order.
[5:31] I mean, because I figure they're all self-guarded anyway.
[5:32] Don't you agree?
[5:32] Thank you.
[5:36] It is very important, it's very important for you to have a talk with Colson and Gregory.
[5:53] Even today, or how you talk to them, they're there to watch and help support the president.
[6:00] Tell them we've got a good case here and don't be afraid of it.
[6:01] They have players who will play.
[6:02] Colson, that's good.
[6:04] You told them about some ads, maybe you want to try to get them to do it.
[6:26] So we have buyer community fans, and we'll crank up on that.
[6:27] Now the other thing that, of course, I will put my mind to is to reduce the thing that I'm using on Thursdays and Tuesdays.
[6:30] I'm going to save on that.
[6:30] I'm going to save on that.
[6:34] Well, not for that, but it's been perfect.
[7:02] We can't handle presences being pressed on, you know what I mean?
[7:28] They'll say, no, we won't allow them in some cases.
[7:29] Yeah.
[7:29] I know that.
[7:30] Well, it's my point all along.
[7:31] Thank you.
[7:31] Thank you.
[7:31] Thank you.
