[3:22:58] Checker.
[3:23:19] Yeah.
[3:23:20] Yeah.
[3:23:20] I notice it says my remarks will be recorded for the archives only.
[3:23:24] This debate tonight has got to be on the record.
[3:23:27] Can't have 150 people there to press.
[3:23:30] So you should tell the people that they will get a transcript.
[3:23:34] As a matter of fact, let me tell them when I come in.
[3:23:37] And I'll just say that we're going to give you a transcript.
[3:23:42] Yeah.
[3:23:57] Let him have a drink or two, sir.
[3:23:58] Right, right.
[3:24:16] Yeah.
[3:24:17] That's fine.
[3:24:19] Fine.
[3:24:19] Fine.
[3:24:20] All right.
[3:24:21] Fine.
[3:24:21] Let them have a drink.
[3:24:23] Have them have a drink first.
[3:24:26] Now, incidentally, I think on the reflection, we probably ought to have Rogers there.
[3:24:31] Don't you think so?
[3:24:32] Rogers and Kissinger.
[3:24:34] What's your opinion?
[3:24:38] Well, I think mainly in terms of the therapy, the Rogers are just different as you're around.
[3:24:43] Good.
[3:24:44] Well, that's probably just as good.
[3:24:45] Tell him he's welcome to come if he wants.
[3:24:48] Emma Hildebrand.
[3:24:51] Yeah, well who's, is he gonna take a press man too?
[3:24:52] Have McCloskey come too, fine.
[3:24:53] Invite them all over.
[3:24:53] I mean, what the hell, it's cheap.
[3:24:54] Yeah, fine.
[3:24:54] Yeah, right, right, tell, tell, tell, it's up to him.
