[0:41] I'm going to see if this might be a good idea. [0:44] All right. [0:45] All right, fine. [0:50] Fine. [0:50] I'm going to see if we can get a little drag on this. [0:54] It doesn't look too bad all around there. [0:56] 3 o'clock today. [0:58] With all the bikes at the top, I must say. [1:12] See you today. [1:18] You can get, uh... [1:40] Bring me one of those pens that are like the new ones, you know. [1:43] Thank you. [1:44] Got one else. [1:44] We'll do the cabinet today. [1:46] Chilts made a request to sit you alone today. [1:49] Are you ready? [1:53] This is my end. [1:53] I don't want to say you're going to have to say what's going on. [1:57] However, if there was a reason for you to come, I don't care. [2:01] I don't want to be a question. [2:04] I want to see if it's possible. [2:10] You know, the only thing that occurs to me is that in these encounters in general, it's likely that my secretary shows some concern in the position that I am in. [2:27] I'll find out when the time is. [2:29] Is that a 4-11? [2:30] Yeah, that was in the briefs. [2:31] Yeah, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock. [2:33] Maybe again at the end of the show. [2:44] Thank you. [2:52] And, uh, did you get, uh, evidence? [2:59] Yes, sir. [2:59] Really? [3:00] Right now. [3:01] Ruth, change your hair. [3:04] Come on. [3:04] I think it's falling. [3:06] Huh? [3:06] The pen came out. [3:07] It's falling down. [3:09] It looks nice. [3:09] Thank you. [3:11] Okay, I just want to point that out. [3:14] So down here, I'm going to put it there. [3:17] Instead, did you see the investment data was referred to your department? [3:21] Right. [3:21] Did you see? [3:22] We should probably do that Thursday morning, at least as a way to put up some information about how our events got to the department. [3:30] Did you see? [3:33] We sure could. [3:33] Yeah. [3:34] Anybody got a bad marker around here? [3:37] Any marker? [3:37] Yeah. [3:38] All right. [3:39] Let's see. [3:40] Let's see. [3:40] Let's see. [3:43] You'll break the, uh... [4:13] One of those pensions that I'd like to do in the journal. [4:16] Thank you. [4:17] You got one else? [4:20] We'll do the category. [4:24] Chilts made a request to sit you alone today regarding this plan. [4:29] I don't think they're going to say who's who. [4:31] However, if there wasn't, where are you from? [4:35] I don't know. [4:36] I'm from Washington. [4:41] The only thing that occurs to me is that this is an anxious agenda, and it's likely that my secretary shows to consign me to the position that I am in. [4:55] I'll find out what her agenda is. [4:58] Do you have a four o'clock meeting? [5:01] Yeah, maybe three. [5:02] Yeah, three o'clock, four o'clock. [5:04] Three for Kevin, four for the show. [5:08] So, Kevin, I'm watching your schedule for tomorrow morning. [5:13] Thank you. [5:16] And, uh, did you get, uh, evidence? [5:23] Yes, sir. [5:23] Really? [5:24] Right now, sir. [5:27] Really? [5:29] Change your hair. [5:31] What's the matter? [5:32] What do you want? [5:34] The other way? [5:35] I think it's falling. [5:37] Huh? [5:38] The pen's getting out of his phone now. [5:40] I don't know where. [5:41] Well, that's nice. [5:42] Thank you. [5:43] Okay, I just want to make sure that this is done here. [5:46] I'm going to put it there. [5:48] I'm suggesting that you see if that's your date, we're referring to your departure. [5:52] Right. [5:53] I'm going to put it here. [5:54] You should probably do that Thursday morning. [5:57] That leaves us with some information that I don't know if it's valid or important. [6:01] I'm just kidding. [6:04] I'll be sure to do it. [6:05] Yeah. [6:05] I'm going to put it here. [6:07] I'm going to put it here. [6:09] Yeah. [6:09] I'm going to put it here. [6:11] I'm going to put it here. [6:12] Let's see. [6:14] throws it down. [6:16] I don't think we'll see this so far. [6:18] Well, anyway, you, you, as soon as you can, you can get it.
