[0:05] If you'd like to check on this.
[0:13] I checked before you came in.
[1:20] So yesterday you asked about the status of the community funeral.
[1:26] Yeah, I understand.
[1:26] I can't go to our church today.
[1:29] I was the one who asked for it.
[1:31] I'm very sorry.
[1:31] I miss him.
[1:32] I miss him so much.
[1:34] I wish that he died.
[1:41] Okay, we're gonna make something wonderful for the team to do today.
[1:45] Yeah, pretty cool.
[1:47] Two years ago, we decided that we shouldn't be willing to truck driver the nearest teamsters, man.
[1:51] And, you know, now, he seems to understand, of course, because he came up with that whole thing.
[1:57] It would be a great idea to get a service man for the teamsters.
[2:01] Well, okay, let's get ready.
[2:01] We're gonna put it right now, too.
[2:03] Okay, service man.
[2:07] Okay, okay.
[2:09] Don't get me involved in any more of that inauguration.
[2:10] Is that clear?
[2:11] There's no need to raise anymore.
[2:13] I want nothing next week and nothing the week after.
[2:16] Is that clear?
[2:17] None of the different veterans, none of the cats and dogs, they should be done after the inauguration.
[2:25] I really got to get my schedule cleared away.
[2:28] If I understand this the right way, doing these things.
[2:31] I've blown the week already, so I don't know.
[2:34] With regard to the heads of state on Friday, you wanted to start at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
[2:46] And it seems this man, Cesar, who doesn't travel during the hours of sundown, so he'd like you to come in at 2.
[2:52] So he'd be on his way to New York.
[2:54] I'm starting to focus on getting through sooner so that I can have an hour.
[3:01] for the inauguration of the Green Clean Awards on this.
[3:06] Klein and Ziegler recommended the Geneva Task Force of American Newspaper Owners and Publishers Association to discuss generally the matter of newspaper ownership in radio, television, and CACV facilities.
[3:42] I'll see you after the inauguration.
[3:43] I agree to do that.
[3:47] He's an old friend.
[3:49] I'm afraid he's going to make it.
[3:54] I wish he could, but I'll see you after the inauguration.
[4:04] Good plan.
[4:04] I haven't talked with him before, so I don't know.
[4:13] Look, I'd just like to get a brief paper for where it stands.
[4:17] But I'll see she.
[4:17] And I'll see him alone when he comes in.
[4:22] That's it.
[4:22] Let me see just a little time.
[4:24] I have a couple of things I want to ask you about.
[5:05] Hey, he has another dinner.
[5:06] Don't bother.
[5:07] I'll see you in a minute.
[5:11] He has another dinner at, say, 4.30.
[5:16] We'll meet.
[5:18] Okay.
[5:18] Either way, this suits his convenience.
[5:35] Thank you.
