[0:06] I agree.
[0:24] I was talking to Ron.
[0:25] He said he had a pretty tough line of questions on voting on the vote we have today in his press conference.
[0:27] Do you know the thing I raised with you this morning?
[0:28] Yeah.
[0:28] And the point is, I'm not thinking about what line you should take tomorrow.
[0:31] He did.
[0:57] Oh yeah, he handled it very well.
[0:58] That's exactly what he said.
[0:59] He said, well, how long .
[1:05] It's the one white, of course, which I cannot cover in my remarks.
[1:26] But I'm not even going to refer to it.
[1:27] I'm just going to refer to the autonomy.
[1:28] But on the Cambodian thing, I'm sure people have drawn all kinds of question marks and issues with the additional guidance.
[1:30] But it's here to just stick right in front of them.
[1:32] I know.
[1:55] South Vietnam, right?
[1:56] I agree.
[1:56] I'm speaking out.
[2:02] Any of us.
[2:15] Any of us.
[2:21] That's right.
[2:22] Don't look up.
[2:22] Don't look up.
[2:23] That's right.
[2:24] And we just have to say, of course, of course, we're in.
[2:26] We have an operation.
[2:26] Of course, we're in.
[2:26] So, I don't know.
[2:27] We haven't got much of a, much of a standard of something.
[2:28] It isn't pretty.
[2:29] I'm sorry.
[2:29] What was I about to say?
[2:30] Singularity.
[2:51] Yeah, we would just have to hang in there and see what they do.
[3:17] That would probably be the next one.
[3:18] I know, but yeah, but it may not be the final one.
[3:19] It's quite the motivation to get through the hole.
[3:21] What you fought for, is what you're here for.
[3:28] You're here for the future of your house.
[3:29] And you're here as part of the whole of the great, part of this inspire.
[3:56] Don't worry.
[3:59] They'll be backing for it.
[4:06] We'll keep on the offensive.
[4:20] We've got to keep right on the offensive.
[4:21] I agree.
[4:21] I agree.
[4:22] Unfortunately, well, the Russian things come fairly soon, too.
[4:51] Well, I don't think there's anything serious.
[5:38] But what do you send us?
[6:40] I just, I just borrowed from the office.
[9:19] In a sense, really, you know, frankly, from our domestic situation, it's only better.
[9:44] I'm sorry.
[9:45] I'm sorry.
[9:45] Why don't you come back on that?
[9:45] I prefer, frankly, to get ready to act today.
[9:59] Well, anyway, feel free to do longer than that, if they'd like that.
[10:17] All right.
[10:17] And at any time, you'll go around just to the stage, if you like, and you'll stand right firm on that capo.
[10:23] Well, look, when have we not had something like this?
[10:25] There's always something to do.
[10:27] There's a clip, there's a...
[10:29] They want to jeopardize things for the whole area.
[11:03] Well, maybe that's worse for the children than it is for some of the workers, right?
[11:25] Well, just stand right in front of them.
[11:26] But I just wanted you to know that this is not, it's not, it's not just crazy what I was doing.
[11:28] It's just, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not.
[11:36] And you know, don't get concerned about the pressure on it.
[11:49] The time we get through, at the end of the week, we'll turn it around again.
[12:18] Now, this is not necessarily .
[12:28] You can talk to Ron in the morning.
[12:28] We'll be sure to see you on the same way.
