[0:00] John, with regard to Philadelphia, you know, as I understand it, you know, we've got to have the vice president preside, and we've got to change the total to the right.
[0:26] And, you know, we've got to do the right thing.
[0:27] But I'll be on the stage and say it's fine.
[0:28] Just to explain why they presided, sir.
[0:31] That's it.
[0:49] Yeah.
[0:50] Done.
[0:50] Great.
[0:50] Now the other part here is that my remarks, of course, I'll wait until I hear what the others say.
[0:52] But it occurred to me that there's a lot of things that are real and some of them are all prepared for this.
[0:55] Why don't you have them make up the signing statements, if you will, in other words, about this, in other words, journey, and they put it in a line, you know, the whole story of this kind of thing.
[1:16] How does that sound to you?
[1:16] And then you say, yes, they've already done the work, they're all ready, and then drop that all up there, and they'll get that to the press early in the morning.
[1:20] Thank you for watching.
