[9:26] Education.
[9:29] Who would have ever thought of education to women anyway?
[9:31] I don't know.
[9:32] It should have been abolished before.
[9:34] Terrible idea.
[9:34] Right?
[9:35] That's out of the question.
[9:36] Change some of your leaders and keep some of your horses.
[9:38] Look, Max.
[9:39] Teach them to eat.
[9:42] Teach them domestic science.
[9:43] That ought to be the full event of it.
[9:45] You're a male dog that's a pig.
[9:49] Well, I gather that's the case.
[9:52] But I recognize what the change is.
[9:56] And as the president said, they have, through their education, looked around to see that they're treated differently.
[10:02] They don't like it.
[10:04] And I'm not talking about the broad burners and all the rest of them.
[10:07] I'm talking about the average housewife.
[10:10] And on paper, it makes a very good argument that they should have equality in all things.
[10:14] So, in my opinion, it doesn't prove out that way.
[10:19] I quite agree with you.
[10:21] That's the way it looks up.
[10:22] It looks good up here.
[10:25] You know the name of Peterson's wife?
[10:27] Uh, Sally.
[10:28] Pete Peterson.
[10:38] You're a pretty surprised fellow.
[10:47] Pete Peterson's a pretty surprised fellow.
[10:49] that everything's falling in line on the plate.
[10:52] That's great.
[10:54] Did you hear what happened to Don Kendall in Pepsi-Cola?
[11:00] He, as you know, has been a free trader.
[11:04] And he came down and boycotted Pepsi-Cola in North and South Carolina.
[11:10] They lost about a million bucks to the thing.
[11:12] Why?
[11:12] Because he came in on the other side.
[11:14] He came in on the other side for the free trade.
[11:19] That's what Dick Gallo showed me.
[11:23] Well, he's out of it now.
[11:25] Yeah, they're out of it.
[11:26] They made their peace.
[11:29] The boycotts have been called off, I guess.
[11:39] Well, I'll tell you, I agree with the warrant.
[11:42] John, do you see any other way to handle it?
[11:44] No.
[11:44] You can't take anything off of him.
[11:46] That's not what I'm saying.
[11:48] Particularly with the idea that that mentioned to you, if I had any thoughts otherwise.
[11:57] See to this.
[11:58] That's the point that I've made in my hour and a quarter.
[12:03] I'm not trying to get back and forth, but you could not possibly give you an ultimatum that was... Perhaps anyway, you can't talk.
[12:12] You can't talk.
[12:13] There will be another appointment for a few more years.
