[5:14:52] Let's not, let's, you know, why don't you work on a paragraph on that, and in the meantime, take this and follow it.
[5:15:12] No, I know the campaign.
[5:15:18] Do you know that better than anyone?
[5:15:19] Oh, sure.
[5:15:20] Sure.
[5:15:20] That's what they said.
[5:15:21] They can't say it differently.
[5:15:22] That's true.
[5:15:23] But my point is, we are in an election year, and I think it's just as well to make a little bit of a point.
[5:15:30] And this is very important to make to the Russians.
[5:15:34] I don't give a shit about what happened in the election.
[5:15:37] See, that's the point I'm coming to.
[5:15:42] I'm not talking to you.
[5:15:45] I'm talking to the Russians.
[5:15:47] And you know I made it pretty significant.
[5:15:49] You know, we've had three arguments.
[5:15:49] Right.
[5:15:50] They think they have a lever on you, and you want to tell them that they don't.
[5:15:51] That's what an argument is.
[5:15:52] It's a problem.
[5:15:53] It's a problem.
[5:15:55] It's a problem.
[5:15:57] It's a problem.
[5:16:00] Thank you.
