[0:00] What I want is that on Saturday after Saturday is the national defense speech, not the foreign policy speech.
[0:08] Now, tell President Floyd to read my San Francisco speech and build it around that and the Legion speech.

[0:21] And the San Francisco speech has the theme, you know, of knocking down nuclear retaliation and so forth.
[0:27] It didn't get the play it should have because some of the political statements got the bigger play.
[0:32] That's what I want to go with.

[0:38] And I want to hit on that Saturday or Sunday, if it's okay.
[0:42] And we'll go for the other stuff, right?
[0:44] Fine, I'll see you a little later.
