[0:00] Hi Alex, what is the deal with, uh, uh, him stepping in and fighting these leaders before he knows the opportunity?
[0:06] Uh, yes sir, I talked to Henry about it.
[0:09] He said he thought we could better do it than any event because I'll have to caution him if he fails.
[0:15] And he also, uh, did what he said he couldn't get to here unless we had had him at least a day before.
[0:23] And most of them, he had some son on staff, I'm sure.
[0:29] It would be very worthwhile to get asked, especially if you're the Jackson type of person.
[0:37] Okay.
[0:40] And the substance goes fluid, or as you say, he got out of here great or what?
[0:46] No, I think he's, I still think he's confident that he'll get to that point.
[0:49] I'm waiting right now to hear from him.
[0:52] I've got an hour and two to go.
[0:55] Yes.
[0:57] See this?
[0:58] I've got school crops and nothing to do with it.
[1:02] It says here it needs to be affirmed.
[1:04] Able site on the right.
[1:07] He's going to run a fleet that goes.
[1:09] So this is a true modification on the conditions that are here as well.
[1:18] And boy, it is something to pay attention to.
[1:22] Yeah, well, we've got to do a second.
[1:24] Let's see what we want to do.
[1:25] We want to do a second.
[1:27] Yes, he is.
[1:28] Can I, uh... Can I hold the gun?
[1:38] First, can we stand together?
[1:45] It would be better to call him off snap basis.
[1:51] I...
[1:52] I'll tell him to have a look.
[1:59] Well, I think we should.
[2:02] I don't think I should walk in there and say, well, we can't reach agreement in Paris.
[2:08] And then, of course, we will be calling it tomorrow for the economic thing.
[2:18] What we should do is just postpone it to tomorrow.
[2:21] Yeah, just say our meeting has been postponed until a certain time.
[2:31] Yes, sir.
[2:33] He knows that, uh, he knows your water gets, uh, you're sending him.
[2:36] It's good.
[2:37] I don't think it's good.
[2:39] See, yeah, it's fine.
[2:41] I didn't think below that, though.
[2:44] It's like a river.
[2:46] I wouldn't be talking business now.
[2:48] Yeah, I'm talking business.
[2:50] There's a, there's a, I know this is interesting, and certainly shows a lot of water-based things, but it's one that's, uh, picks up baggages.
[2:56] He talks about a compact bag.
[2:58] He talks about a compact bag.
[3:11] Thank you.
