[0:18] I think it's the way they know it's coming that I, that we pick a time for that, you know? [0:25] And what do they need? [0:26] They need a Wednesdays? [0:27] What day? [0:30] I think it is. [0:31] We'll find out a day and pick out one. [0:34] I wouldn't mind doing it, say, next Wednesday, for example, I guess, unless we do that congressional thing. [0:40] You said the next one, see, we can't do the congressional thing. [0:48] What are we planning next Wednesday? [0:53] Are we planning to do the congressional thing next Wednesday? [0:57] That's what I meant. [0:58] What about that one?

[1:14] Well, just set up the following week if you can. [1:17] That would be a good time. [1:18] And then also could you check out the CNN that Blair's doing and then push that one for the following week. [1:26] But if you get people dates, you know, you don't have to do nothing that way.

[1:48] We're going to be gone in a minute. [1:51] We'll be fine.
