[6:30] And now, with regard to that Creighton suit,
[6:37] You see no objection to my comment on this one.
[6:46] You see, it's different from a decision where it's different, for example, where it's appealed.
[6:57] I have not commented upon trial court decisions.
[7:05] Yeah.
[7:06] Yeah.
[7:07] No, no, no, no.
[7:07] Yeah, I wanted to say I'm not going to comment on it, but of course, we'll do it.
[7:09] But yeah, and also just a comment on the higher-ranking program.
[7:17] So we'll do it.
[7:21] We'll do it.
[7:22] We'll do it.

[8:01] They've handled that out, and it's not going to be appealed in a further amount of time.
[8:04] I was just going to say that I am ready for certain things.
[8:15] Stay well, sir.
[8:21] That's the administration bill.
[8:25] But not supportable yet.
[8:26] Ah, I see.
[8:28] And it allows me... Yeah, it is something very pretty.
[8:32] I don't know.
[8:34] Fine, John, thank you.
