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