[3:45] We're going to have about 68 or 70 people on that date.
[3:53] Yeah.
[3:55] Just a question on that part of it.
[3:58] I don't want to get too into it.
[4:02] We don't want to keep them far home.
[4:07] We're going to have to put them down.
[4:31] I'm sorry they're going to have their drinks.
[4:37] You better have drinks before you put them in the hall.
[4:39] You sure you can't just have them have their drinks, but each one would make it easier.
[4:57] Grand Coral's not a place to have drinks.
[4:59] No, it's not warm.
[5:00] No, sir.
[5:00] Yeah.
[5:00] And I just think you better put them in the east room and have food and everything.
[5:09] Don't lie about the country.
[5:10] Have them come and have their drinks for 15 minutes before I get so they can all have it themselves.
[5:19] You understand?
[5:20] I do.
[5:20] So that I don't have to leave.
[5:29] The Dean of the Wall Street Congress.
[6:02] Not very many regrets.
[6:03] Only six regrets so far.
[6:05] A couple we haven't had.
[6:07] Let him out.
[6:11] Let the dean speak.
[6:12] Let Rush speak.
[6:14] Rush, as he said to the government, asked him to talk to the chair.
[6:21] Three minutes.
[6:22] To the dean, three minutes.
[6:26] To Rush, three minutes.
[6:27] Yes, sir.
[6:27] Thank you.
[7:05] Well, you had a busy day.
