Do not cite it as authoritative. [0:00] Well, I'm going to park something that's easy. [0:26] Because he did such a great job. [0:34] Also, here's the jersey. [1:33] I don't know what he's saying. [1:57] I don't know. [1:57] I don't know. [1:58] I don't know. [1:58] I don't know. [1:58] I don't know. [1:59] I don't know. [1:59] I don't know. [2:00] Even if it's not a state visit, we are asking you because it isn't too much of a budget problem. [2:18] It's a nice way to talk to you and introduce you to the staff. [2:19] And, uh, in the name of Nick, come on right up. [2:20] It's not called Jack Cuts when he comes here. [2:21] He stays at the letterhouse and comes into the colony. [2:22] It means a great deal. [2:23] Okay. [2:23] I'll see you. [2:23] I'll see you. [2:23] I'll see you. [2:26] I think it's a good news. [2:49] It's just a gracious thing to do. [2:52] I've never forgotten. [2:53] They feel that. [2:55] I remember in Bangkok. [2:57] Take the Thailand and the East and the Central States. [3:10] And I hope y'all sleep with yourself in the capital of Spain. [3:15] And in fact, in New York. [3:17] So, what do you do? [3:18] Run around with somebody? [3:20] Yeah. [3:21] That must have occurred to you. [3:22] Must have occurred to me. [3:22] Oh, I can start with this. [3:24] Senator, I don't know. [3:26] President comes to this country, even though I can only give him a half hour, he ought to stay as a state guest. [3:47] Yep. [3:48] And it'd be a nice touch. [3:49] The play that we were meeting showed you the great importance of doing something when an issue is number one. [3:51] Yep. [3:51] And we're going to have another meeting next week, right? [3:55] Not a very moderate play. [3:56] That picture with Edgar Hoover, uh, got into most of the papers about it. [4:04] Certainly, the papers have got some light. [4:06] They've got an invention of some networks with this film. [4:09] It wasn't just mentioned, was it? [4:14] Yeah. [4:14] Why did, why did Bob, it's got a number on the safety? [4:18] Because it's goddamn good with navigation. [4:19] Sure, we're stuck with him anyway. [4:21] You know, here again, [4:22] You'll get, in your stat, you'll get a mixed view because, uh, Hoover's bad and all that sort of thing. [4:38] We're struggling with Bob. [4:40] He's like a Vietnam War. [4:41] He's bad. [4:41] But we know what the polls show on Hoover. [4:43] They think he's too old. [4:43] He's not retired, but they showed it for Hoover and for the FBI. [4:45] I'll actually go to the Supreme Court and find my tire. [4:48] Yep. [4:48] Rose, can you check one thing for me, please? [4:49] I don't know whether we thought of it, but we've got to be sure Hoover's invited to that election. [4:53] Yes, sir. [4:57] That's why I called those friends, you know. [5:03] He isn't waiting for the train of people to come. [5:08] Well, he isn't meeting people. [5:09] I know. [5:10] That's what Patrick had in mind. [5:11] Well, we shouldn't go to, we shouldn't go to the island because... Oh, no. [5:12] Pete's team is going to happen. [5:13] Well, I would say he doesn't rank. [5:15] He doesn't rank. [5:16] I think they're eating it without me to be here. [5:17] See, you know, the price when they're fighting, that's not, oh, that's not any word for me. [5:21] I mean, it's just, you know... [5:22] Oh, you see, I've got a couple of them separated out there. [5:39] I see them just straight out. [5:41] We lost his invitation. [5:42] I'll take it. [5:42] I'll take it. [5:45] I'll take it. [5:46] I'll take it. [5:46] I'll take it. [5:46] I'll take it. [5:48] I'll take it. [5:48] I'll take it. [5:49] Well, I didn't go to Julie's. [5:55] I didn't go to Julie's. [6:03] I didn't go to Julie's. [6:10] I didn't go to Julie's. [6:11] I didn't go to Julie's. [6:14] You would have been proud to hear that he picked up the child last night. [6:28] They were just... Oh, that's nice. [6:32] They were happy to hear it. [6:32] I said, you know, you know, they said, you know, Thomas is fucking me to come, but I... [6:34] I truly called and said I shouldn't. [6:35] No, I'll tell you, it... Because I don't... [6:37] They came for us. [6:37] I don't know. [6:38] I bet she was there. [6:38] I don't know what she looks like, but... Oh, she's a nasty little bitch. [6:40] I... [6:40] There was no need for you to... Well, I used to go to every little thing, you know. [6:41] I mean, I... [6:43] I should have known that, but I'll be going to Lawson that time with the diplomatic reception, for example, but I shouldn't. [7:00] But Walter's going to show up at the showers, didn't he? [7:01] I don't know. [7:01] I sent the note on the internet. [7:03] I thought he had to know it in case they asked me. [7:05] Well, Julie called me and said, there's a baseball game on the internet. [7:06] I said, that's Julie. [7:07] She's crazy. [7:07] She kicked it off. [7:08] But how was the showers? [7:08] It was fun. [7:08] It was fun, too. [7:09] It was just perfect. [7:09] With that plank gift, she ran it out. [7:10] She's fighting the person in the room, you know, the face of the man. [7:12] Um, and the only time I went to be in great debt, that I don't like to hear it later, you better than I do, whatever it means, I'd like to rock her head off. [7:25] Because I don't want to talk to her. [7:27] She came up to me, she said, [7:29] That Mrs. Cox was lovely. [7:38] Oh, I thought she looked like a cat. [7:40] And so, I don't know. [7:41] I don't know. [7:42] I don't know. [7:43] I don't know. [7:45] I don't know. [7:47] I don't know. [7:47] I don't know. [7:47] I don't know. [7:48] I don't know. [7:49] You don't want me to say not have as much as you have. [8:00] Sorry, sorry, sorry. [8:01] I mean, you know her. [8:04] She don't want me to say that. [8:06] She wants you to say that as much as you have. [8:08] I don't care what she did to me. [8:10] I don't care what she did to me. [8:11] I don't care what she did to me. [8:12] I don't care what she did to me. [8:14] The best [8:40] I saw Cornell, and Parmier, and Calum Thomas, and Bill Tice, and so forth. [8:47] They all write bland, generally embarrassing, you know, go rave, and that's fun, that's the kind of writing I like. [8:52] Oh, I must say, you know, the water people wrote pretty, pretty jazzy stuff about that Southern trip. [8:57] It was really, yeah, I think we must have shipped them or something. [9:03] Because it's very funny how he was written on that, on that tremendous enthusiasm. [9:09] I know you're talking about our current bank, rather. [9:14] Now, that's something that you have to go through, and that's unincorrected. [9:19] Out of 160,000 people, that was a concerted estimate. [9:23] These are signs. [9:24] Thousands of people have been flagged, so far. [9:25] We've found three. [9:26] three signs about freedom of choice. [9:32] And his commentary is about freedom of choice in Alabama and the people of Michigan, Alabama. [9:45] There wasn't a move, there was whatever, two radicals at one point. [9:46] That one little question that we're in the head of, chapter one, two, three, four, five hundred cops were almost running over the walls. [9:52] Well, Paul Haley and several others said it was absolutely tempting, and they felt that it actually certainly was than anything close to what he'd done in his life. [10:11] Yeah, that's a long line. [10:18] Oh, that's what he said. [10:21] He said that yours was so great and that it was, it just, a lot of that, obviously, they've been talking about. [10:26] Wallace did, too, but a little guy that he latched on to the president. [10:28] He wasn't allowed to go to the library. [10:29] Yeah, I think that was a good time. [10:30] I was talking to my host, Larry O'Brien, and we talked about the North. [10:36] Yes, I'm being incredible. [10:42] I've been saying that for many years, exactly right. [10:46] You're still 50, huh? [10:46] Have you been singing that song? [10:47] I've been singing that song. [10:48] Yeah, and I've said it in the press conference, I can believe in the devil's name. [10:52] And I believe in the creator of that shape of it. [10:54] Well, they shouldn't be talking about it. [11:01] Well, look, you can't be talking about kids. [11:05] You know, they're kids, by the way. [11:09] Well, they're animals, they're not, in Virginia. [11:12] They did. [11:13] I don't think it's right. [11:20] But I think that they, I think the sudden trip and having David and Julie along was just right. [11:22] I think it was perfect having them. [11:23] I actually had a hell of a play out there with Preston. [11:26] Did they finally get some TV on down there? [11:27] Yeah. [11:28] I hope so. [11:31] It wouldn't get very much. [11:33] And Eric Young said that you were bringing Texas to him. [11:39] That I got from a lot of Democrats all the time. [11:42] And reporters and people. [11:43] But it was just... One time I was just such a thrill to just see you there. [11:48] You know, the whole thing. [11:49] I think that's a great product. [11:49] Sounded like it anyway. [11:52] Well, the Texas system was. [11:53] Well, the whole thing. [11:54] Well, he was gracious and all. [11:56] Heard it in the way of those other people. [11:57] They don't have that. [11:59] They show no grace. [12:03] They have nothing. [12:05] They're mean, vicious old vultures. [12:08] We have walls down here. [12:16] I'm sure that's why. [12:18] I like that. [12:18] I like that. [12:19] I'm sure that's why I got those wooden ones. [12:23] Sure, because these other people felt that this was a great, as far as you can tell, state of it. [12:34] Shut down for a bit. [12:35] He just wouldn't try it. [12:37] It's not any more important than that. [12:40] So it's pretty obvious to be honest with him. [12:41] Wallace says he's going to have us. [12:42] He's going to have us. [12:43] He's going to have us anyway we want. [12:45] He's going to have us and keep us down. [12:47] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:04] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:05] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:06] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:09] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:10] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:11] I haven't done that in a long time. [13:18] Well, let me say this. [13:24] I am obliged to do this. [13:32] You watch, of course, to be sure. [13:35] Neither Henry nor Steve. [13:36] It will be better than Henry. [13:37] Slip in. [13:37] That's not the future. [13:38] Slip in. [13:38] Unless, I mean, that's why I want to. [13:40] But, you know, because I was an easy marcher and everything, Senegal comes, and what he did for Southland and somebody else, I never want to happen to much. [13:45] I mean, I'm strapped up next week. [13:46] That's all I'm going to do. [13:48] We get these things. [13:50] Well, we actually, well, Mousetrap just was changing the date for the press conference. [13:57] We loved it. [13:58] We loved it. [13:58] This is well better tomorrow. [14:00] We loved it. [14:01] For tomorrow, we wouldn't have had to do this. [14:03] We would have still gotten trapped in the surroundings. [14:05] They obviously were out because of it. [14:09] All the other things. [14:11] We haven't done one for a long time. [14:14] We're never a problem. [14:16] Never a problem. [14:25] I don't mind having the rattles any time. [14:31] The thing is, I just think we've got a little amount of time. [14:36] I don't want to get trapped in the rattles or accidents. [14:39] There's a real problem. [14:40] If God had an accident, I'm not going to do it. [14:41] If we'll have an accident, he said, yes, we're going to have one. [14:42] That's enough. [14:42] It's going to have a little flax in there. [14:43] 30, 35, 40, you've got that. [14:44] But a lot of flax in the street house. [14:44] Even in Senegal. [14:45] Some of them can stay there. [14:46] It's only for a couple of nights. [14:55] In each case, where it's a non-official visit, it's going to be a two-night stay. [15:04] In Washington, you could go to three rooms. [15:11] But not beyond that. [15:12] We can't have somebody stuck out there for a week. [15:13] Speaking of this business of getting back to work, [15:16] I thought it would get a play, but I didn't know it would get that much play. [15:27] Now, I think that you could have, I think maybe if you had more, I don't think Brown will see it, and I don't think Lyons sees it, of course, or any of the others. [15:39] They do see it, but they're so busy in the day-to-day operations. [15:42] What you've got to see is opportunity. [15:43] Come in, Mike. [15:43] It's Mike. [15:44] He's got to be the other dude. [15:44] He should be, too. [15:45] Scali should be just made to order. [15:49] Maybe you should have a meeting each day, Bob. [15:53] Or with Scali Klein. [15:55] Not Klein, Dunn-Pleasant, I hear. [16:01] Scali. [16:01] Moore. [16:02] What's it really? [16:03] Colson. [16:05] Colson's judge was not good as to what kind of meeting to have. [16:08] He had a drive to Hillock. [16:10] If you could have told them, no, I did, I did. [16:22] You wouldn't use this as an example. [16:27] Here's the Uber. [16:30] Use it as an example. [16:31] All right, my boss, let's watch. [16:31] What is the story? [16:32] Let's see how we can advance the presidency to that. [16:33] You see, you compare that. [16:34] We have not had the Uber thing. [16:36] All they would have had to run was the arts story. [16:37] Okay. [16:38] Now, who the hell wanted to hear the arts? [16:39] It got very good play in [16:40] right where it should be, in the arts section of the arts, you know, the music and theater section. [16:48] If that's what you want, because then only the people are going to hear it, but if that had been the only story, that would be pretty sad, wouldn't it? [16:59] Yeah. [17:00] It's a limited council for the arts. [17:02] It tells the people we're going to spend $30 million for art, but it's not going to be good. [17:08] That's just the time they need it. [17:10] But I do think this goes, let's grab the good stories, let's grab the good stories. [17:18] This thing now is much like a politician. [17:20] Every time, what he says is true. [17:22] It's going so much that they, I don't know, maybe it's our fight or something. [17:31] I was thinking, you know, it shows you how you're just so right. [17:34] Nobody jumped on that police thing. [17:37] Actually, nobody did. [17:38] Nobody in here said, you know, my guy's got to do something about the police. [17:41] He should go up to New York to the funeral or anything like that. [17:46] I've had three different calls on the person who ought to do something about that black girl who was shot yesterday. [17:58] It's really kind of a fascinating thing. [18:00] Now, that's a tragedy, too. [18:02] But it's not nearly the tragedy in my view that [18:05] It's senseless and all that, but it turned to hell. [18:08] Cops are out trying to, trying to save, help people. [18:11] There was an agency that called around, they said there were 12 people who were murdered in California. [18:16] And also it was a tragedy scene. [18:19] Yeah. [18:19] More so, really. [18:21] They called back 100 murderers. [18:23] Yeah, 100 murderers. [18:24] Except they were murdered by another Mexican, too. [18:28] Yeah, they weren't white. [18:29] They weren't black. [18:29] I'm sorry about the little blacker. [18:30] Right, right. [18:31] I don't know. [18:31] Well, we will, of course, but I have not done anything. [18:39] I have not had a statement about it. [18:41] I don't know what that thing, what the name of it was all about. [18:44] That's what it was originally. [18:45] It was a senseless killing. [18:46] A little black girl, white little girl, who had just graduated from high school and got the award for the most cooperative girl. [18:51] Her son was walking home. [18:52] Three people drove by in a car and shot her. [18:53] So in the name of God, where? [18:54] Why? [18:55] There's been some racial tension. [19:01] I mean, don't tell the cops. [19:12] That's a purely senseless kind of thing. [19:18] No, I just, Coles and I came in and gave them a little call about a police man who was supposed to be a cop. [19:23] But he had thought of several things about the jail. [19:24] I don't know what he said. [19:25] Were they gone? [19:25] I would say we read the letter just now. [19:26] Yeah. [19:26] To get them off. [19:27] Because I respect the rule. [19:27] He wasn't. [19:28] He wasn't. [19:28] I didn't have any sense of it. [19:35] You need to read it, sir. [19:38] I'd like to watch it. [19:46] I don't want to sit around with a bunch of people gassed up, drinking wine and so forth and having a little chat. [20:08] I did it for Keith and a couple of others. [20:09] And it's a very enjoyable case for what I'm concerned about. [20:11] That's great for a few, but the best thing to do when I am around here, for example, is to put the goddamn thing on as a blacktop and expand it. [20:15] with 50 people. [20:22] And I'd sit and talk to him, which is all he wants to work on. [20:30] You know, I found that every time, the guy was talking to me and all it makes for me to have the working things. [20:33] And I had to make conversation with all the people around the table. [20:35] Well, you'd have to get it down to about 10 people. [20:36] You can't talk to more than 10 people. [20:37] You've got to be at that little table. [20:38] You've got to be sitting in there. [20:39] And inevitably you say, well, what do you think? [20:47] What do you think, Jack? [20:49] It's just too much work. [20:50] And I think that is one place where you can compliment people. [20:52] You know what I'm saying? [20:53] Sure. [20:53] They love to come. [20:54] And let them out because they can stand around and gas a little. [20:57] Go ahead and put their hot pickles in there. [20:58] There's no work that you can get done in one of those anyway. [20:59] All you can do is eat lunch and submit. [21:01] That goes without saying. [21:02] And the only purpose of that is to allow entertainment to make it appear that it's not entertainment. [21:07] Yeah. [21:08] But it is a total death bomb. [21:10] But you can still call it a death bomb unless you can have 100 people. [21:24] You can call it a working life. [21:25] I don't want to be a problem. [21:26] I'm just going to be a lunch boy. [21:26] The point is that for me, I do not like ever to have anything where I invite 100 people. [21:33] I don't want to have a sandwich. [21:33] I call the cafeteria. [21:34] Should we bring in our new congressman from [21:35] Maryland, I think we ought to fire him to the left. [21:41] That was a hell of a victory. [21:42] Mandela was determined to beat us on that, and he failed. [21:55] But it's a good... Sure. [21:56] He ran as a solid Nixon man, and the other guy ran as a solid anti-administration man. [21:59] So it was an administration referendum, and we won it pretty well. [22:01] Solidly Democratic. [22:03] Oh, I know some of these people are Maryland murderers. [22:05] Well, Ross was calling a couple of weeks ago saying, we've got a chance to win this thing. [22:16] And I thought he was out of his mind. [22:19] And I was like, you know, oh, yeah. [22:21] Yeah, because the theory had always been that that was a large democracy, not a republic. [22:26] It was, yeah, 5,000, 6,000, 4,000, 31 to 27,000. [22:29] Also, is that as good? [22:38] $4,000. [22:39] You'll be able to see it coming now? [22:42] Sure. [22:42] If he's any good at all, I assume he will be. [22:50] He was born as AA. [22:51] So he ran us. [22:51] Isn't that great? [22:52] I'm going to run us and bring him in today. [22:53] I think we'll see. [22:53] All those vote victories. [22:55] That Hughes vote is being played as a major victory, which it should be. [22:58] It was. [22:58] Hughes. [22:58] Hughes. [22:59] They don't know what the hell you're up to. [23:12] I don't think you should sit down about it. [23:25] He's an absolute ghost and so is his friend Harris. [23:36] He was coming up. [23:42] It was a funny thing. [23:43] The Harris thing. [23:47] Art Bowles and also Gallops have shown all this for the last few months. [23:48] They've been a hit in all the travel things. [23:49] Harris has shown up there several times. [23:50] It's been an upturn for whatever reason. [23:51] I think it's because of his voice. [23:57] I think it probably gets awkward as we've been talking to them, see? [24:20] But not today, I was bothered. [24:28] I don't know if you'll believe it, but in the morning we got the chance to do it, but I remember it is 15 minutes, so you're straight back to breathing, you know, by that schedule. [24:43] So I got this, basically a symbolic time, so I just had it for 20 minutes, but I, uh, that's all. [24:48] What about the meeting I just mentioned? [24:49] Oh yeah, Steve Grohl. [24:50] Steve Grohl. [24:51] We'll do that right after the Rockies meet. [25:12] Yeah, good. [25:12] Rockies. [25:12] Okay, you said it on the hand order at 1.30. [25:13] Maybe. [25:14] I think not. [25:14] We'll just call it. [25:14] It's about the certificate. [25:15] That's what they do. [25:15] And then they let her, you know, do the validity and put the name of the man. [25:17] That's right. [25:18] It's really a very handsome thing. [25:22] What that means to the whole department is that the Poloka High School are a Cub Scout Troop 18. [25:36] The little Cub Scouts, each of those little Cub Scout Troop Troops, and each of the ROTC units, S.I. [25:42] schools, and each of the, uh, don't get the fire stations that count. [25:45] The real class, boy, they pull out those fire engines, all the firemen saluted, and the Rad Cub Scouts, the ROTC, did their stuff. [25:52] And they think it's that glass that will ricochet all through those places and let's go to all of them in the future. [26:00] That is infinitely better than Miami to Ronald Anderson. [26:02] Sure, isn't it? [26:03] Sure. [26:04] All right. [26:06] Well, it looks like one. [26:07] You know, you have that on the wall of the high school. [26:11] Well, of course, the presidential visit was competent. [26:13] It won't be old. [26:14] Very good. [26:32] Even when we go back to places like Los Angeles for our high school letters, I know a man that promised they'd love to have a certificate of appreciation for that. [26:37] Sure. [26:37] Hey, what else is interesting? [26:38] Well, that was the day I read it. [26:39] It was a very, considerably very light news day, actually, which is why it was good to have done that. [26:41] It picked up a time when there wasn't much competition, which gave it a good balance, didn't it? [26:44] They played them on TV and played them well because they used it as the lead to the police funeral. [26:54] See, there was a second police funeral at the Capitol. [26:58] The Italian's funeral was yesterday at the Capitol. [26:59] The black funeral was the day before. [27:03] And so they did the lead in President Nixon's, you know, getting things going, doing something about killing policemen and all that. [27:07] And then they cut to the funeral and ran the footage. [27:09] And I'm trying to get an announcement out tomorrow about the police meeting. [27:14] I can't wait to get the announcement that they've got better than a 4 o'clock. [27:27] Yeah, I told them to take it out at 18 o'clock. [27:31] I heard Elliot's feelings, but not them. [27:32] Just like Kurt Finch's before. [27:34] Bob, they aren't the right people to handle the bill problem. [27:36] They've been having it. [27:37] They screwed it up. [27:39] Sure, because what you want is a heart clean. [27:48] You don't want understanding. [27:49] I don't want psychiatry. [27:53] No, what you want is to get the dope feathers by the balls and smash it. [27:57] I want to smash the dope cutters. [27:57] I want to use marijuana. [27:59] I'm sure we'll start there. [27:59] And of course, methadone and all the rest. [28:01] I'll give that to you. [28:01] That's right. [28:02] I don't have any cure. [28:02] But boy, if I were you, I would sure stay away from the cures because there's a lot of numbers to what it is. [28:05] I understand. [28:05] Methadone may be as bad as marijuana. [28:06] That's right. [28:07] That's right. [28:07] That's right. [28:09] Let them experiment with that. [28:11] All you have to do is be hard on against the stuff. [28:14] Well, I'm against it. [28:18] Well, you need some moral force. [28:20] You really do. [28:20] And they talk about the president's moral force on racial stuff. [28:23] You need it on Bill. [28:24] You need the president saying this is bad. [28:26] Yeah. [28:27] Yeah. [28:30] We haven't heard about the president tomorrow. [28:38] We hear the president's at work. [28:39] Frankly, they need moral force in terms of standing up to the police. [28:45] But parents need it for their kids on the dope thing. [28:46] It's hard as hell to talk to your kids about dope. [28:48] And how you need some. [28:49] I think you have to have a speech on it sometime. [28:50] I think you do. [28:50] A national speech on it. [28:51] I think you do. [28:51] I don't know what it is. [28:52] Why I'm against it. [28:53] Listen carefully. [28:53] You think it's your grade? [28:56] I think you're reading the problems from it. [28:59] But it ought to be a short radio talk that could then be used in school rooms. [29:09] And that kind of thing. [29:12] In other words, we could make quite a lot of TV. [29:13] Or a short talk. [29:14] Or a short talk about using our educational TV for once. [29:16] On this one. [29:16] That would be a pretty good one for education. [29:20] And you live with charts and everything. [29:21] And I just sit there like a teacher and explain the thing. [29:23] Now that's one thing, you know, I have to do sometime even in this whole foreign policy area. [29:27] I need to take a foreign policy part of this. [29:31] and just give a little understanding. [29:38] College lecture, what the hell this is all about. [29:48] That's very impressive to people, Bob. [29:50] I can do it without any notes or any of that sort of stuff. [29:52] And as you said, I think we made some magical overlords. [29:54] It's easy to make, but it's easier. [29:55] Some magical overlords, you're trying to read every goddamn thing you want to do. [29:59] Paraphrasis throws a bunch of weird shit. [30:02] Now, there's some real value at times, and you're just talking to people. [30:07] I never thought we'd be hard of people, but really, it was a nice talk. [30:28] I'm afraid I can't seem to compare it to what we were doing. [30:29] We had one thing in mind. [30:30] One, we could do this together. [30:30] Two, we could build this and the other thing. [30:31] There's a mile up ahead of us. [30:32] It's time. [30:32] But I have just a few minutes to talk to you. [30:33] We're out of this meeting, but maybe we should do that at the King's Mansion. [30:35] We won't have to go eat at my home. [30:37] It won't take very long. [30:49] It won't take very long. [30:56] It won't take very long. [30:59] It won't take very long. [31:01] It won't take very long. [31:04] It won't take very long. [31:07] Well, it was agreed that it would be discussed simultaneously. [31:19] Why are the studies going on yet? [31:25] I don't know. [31:26] All I want is that they don't let the concluding session tomorrow make a reference. [31:44] By July, we'll have to settle. [31:45] Charlie has warned that Sembionic will sail tomorrow. [31:46] At first we do this, and then we do that. [31:47] And that wouldn't be good. [31:47] And I think I can get that settled. [31:48] Well, I say, since the whole purpose of the deal, it's indecisive. [31:51] That's great. [31:51] We'll put the letters out. [31:51] That's great. [31:52] That's great. [31:53] Well, the thing to do is to simply, no, we don't have a public council. [32:09] They both have a public council. [32:10] I noticed it's not like that they got any cover on, uh, uh, I noticed it's so different than usually when they're talking about the version of Dr. Frog. [32:14] And we, uh, and, well, it's the way we expect it to be. [32:15] And, uh, and they're, uh, [32:17] their comments about the UAR and the response to that. [32:23] What I mean is, we are, we have a situation here where that means [32:32] It's so hostile to us that we therefore have got to deal with those things that there are in this culture, in this conventional platform. [32:47] Actually, I think the Russians are really bad at the gangsters as Italians. [32:52] The Chinese are almost everywhere. [32:53] That's not all. [32:53] The Chinese are up with it. [32:54] They're both out together. [32:56] The Chinese will probably go for a big knockout while the Russians will try to lead us to death. [33:08] that the president called to your attention when he saw those new signs. [33:17] He said, now look, we're not a good kind of interested in this kind of thing. [33:20] They want to play that kind of a game that all bets are off. [33:24] And I think we've got to get to some of the things faster than I agree. [33:28] And actually, Simon, you let me get back to you so it's all right. [33:32] Come on, boy. [33:33] And I put it right to him hard. [33:35] I'll tell you what I knew. [33:37] I'll tell you. [33:37] But the threat has to be that if they can't accept it now, we won't go in September, no matter what they do. [33:48] Yeah. [33:48] That's the threat we have. [33:48] Otherwise, it's fleeting. [33:49] That's what it is, man.
