The only reason for doing it would be to, well, I don't buy that.
I don't see it.
I will not see it unless we want to acknowledge his presence.
Um, here's our, here's some of the residents of the Irish Republic.
Here's, here's some of our .
Yeah, just put a note on there.
Don't, you're still going to have, I, I can't have, I can't bring any time to stay on that minister.
Okay.
I don't know if you want to do the details.
Yeah, I need to do that.
I'm going to ask you anything that comes up.
Since the veteran's speech has been postponed to May 1, there is generally a bit of a cold and a couple of people feel that there's an opportunity to speak on veterans' matters at the Washington Hotel on Tuesday, November 30th, to the disabled American veteran himself.
I don't want to comment on this.
I don't want to do anything this, the next week, in the 80s.

I, uh,
Okay.

He's got a meeting with you at 8 o'clock before he gets prepared for the other two.
He's got a meeting with you at 8 o'clock.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're going to fire her.
But as far as the vets, as far as the dead veterans, I don't want to market that sort of thing right now.
As far as this next week going on, we'll hear it.
So the reason we've got to be loaded with balloons is because we've got to get matches over there.
