[0:00] Well, I don't think so.
[0:02] There was no focus on that whatsoever, and I don't think there will be, because the answer is there.
[0:16] It was just raised up.
[0:20] It will be even speculated in terms of that.
[0:21] But also, the reaction...
[0:24] The press room itself weren't announcing that this was very good.
[0:29] The reaction by the press in terms of using the press room in this way was very good.
[0:34] And having it recorded as the film is a good way to do it, and they all felt that.
[0:41] They compared it with a similar type of give and take that can take place in the office.
[0:46] To see what's a good setting for that.
[0:50] Well, they had a full press room.
[0:50] Oh, there was a full show?
[0:51] Yes, sir.
[0:52] I already heard of it.
[1:01] I think there are quite a few questions there.

[1:20] No, I'm just moved by the fact that we're thinking of Tuesdays.

[1:47] The government's squirming all over the place.
[1:57] Of course, sir.
[1:58] I don't want to hurt any of them.
[1:59] Got any of those, those guys in America today?
[2:01] They're a hundred and eighty degrees over nine.
[2:02] Must be from a hundred and thirty miles away.
[2:03] A hundred and eighty degrees over nine?
[2:04] Within eight hours.
