[0:00] Thank you.
[0:34] I don't want that.
[0:59] Thank you.
[1:37] The way this schedule is working now,
[2:06] Every now and then,
[2:45] Is there a purpose for that?
[2:50] What I'm thinking actually is that what I'm getting from it is that it depends on the announcement.
[3:04] But it's not understandable.
[3:13] Because the agreement is supposed to go back to Monday night.
[3:39] So yeah, that shouldn't have too much to add.
[3:40] Yeah.
[3:40] So what you say is that I'll leave it to you.
[3:41] Well, it's just as well, having had the
[3:43] Thank you.
[4:20] Yeah, of course, but the following morning is when he's going to announce it.
[4:32] Okay, and then, of course, the informing the senators, and the Rogers and Laird, seems to make the impression, practically, it has to be something like that.
[4:48] And that's all these Rogers and Laird have been talking about.
[5:08] That would be one advantage.
[5:12] I don't want to call any problems.
[5:20] I don't want any arguments.
[5:22] But you can go.
[5:25] You can just drop over and say you're great.
[5:27] You see, tomorrow the announcement will come.
[5:30] It's coming back.
[5:31] It's going to make a great speech.
[5:35] It's going to make a great speech.
[5:36] It's going to make a great speech.
[5:38] Right, and you should do that.
[5:42] And this is the way you're going to have those things right beside us.
[5:54] And that's that.
[6:03] Now, we've got time.
[6:03] Oh, you don't, oh, he's over six in the morning.
[6:05] He is over there.
[6:20] Yeah.
[6:22] Yeah.
[6:27] Yeah.
[6:28] Yeah.
[6:36] Yeah.
[6:48] Uh, I don't think I've mentioned that that's the model.
[7:00] I see.
[7:04] That would be all right.
[7:12] Okay.
[7:14] Yeah.
[7:14] Yeah.
[7:14] I guess that's what you have to do.
[7:16] But I've got leaders.
[7:17] I don't want any leaders involved.
[7:18] I mean, uh, yeah.
[7:46] I suppose that the market wants to tell us that they don't want them to be in the market.
[7:55] I guess you can't even believe it.
[7:59] There have been developments that have been going on right now.
[8:04] Right now.
[8:04] And that is very important.
[8:06] And therefore, very important.
[8:07] We don't want to tell that story to the president.
[8:15] I think that will be announced, I don't think, before they're going on.
[8:29] I believe that there will be an announcement before then.
[8:33] Oh, I see.
[8:33] That's right.
[8:34] I do just say there have been some developments in the president's judgment.
[8:37] Only the honorary president.
[8:38] The president's doctor said he had any adjustments, only that he had not heard the rest of the developments.
[8:42] At this point, the president's very important.
[8:44] They're part of the negotiations.
[8:45] are underway in a serious way.
[8:54] Serious.
[8:54] There is a chance.
[9:01] That's right.
[9:04] Okay.
[9:04] Yeah.
