00:00Great. Any questions, please, about the stadium or any of it? Yeah, please. Yes. Thank you very much.
00:08Yes, thank you so much. About the draft, and I would like to overcome an event that it was already mentioned here, the World Cup.
00:17Although United States, the passion here is football for the World Cup next year, how do you envision, Mr. President, this event here in the United States?
00:26Fantastic. I worked very hard to get the World Cup. It was, in fact, I think I have the trophy right here, right behind you.
00:33Don't have a picture taken with Roger in that trophy, by the way. But no, they brought it in. Johnny, who's a good guy, but he brought that in.
00:42That's the actual trophy. It's interesting that you asked that. And it's made at Tiffany's, and they're leaving it here until just before the actual World Cup.
00:51Then it goes to the champion. But that's very exciting. We have the Olympics. So we have both of them.
00:56I worked very hard in getting both. And I said, you know, I'm not going to be able to be there as president.
01:01And then a strange thing happened. And it turned out I became president, not for the term that I was supposed to be.
01:09I was I became president. Well, we have the Olympics and the World Cup and we have something that maybe surpasses everything, the 250th anniversary of our country.
01:18So that's going to be great. It's going to be a very big event, a year long event. So thank you for question. Very nice question.
01:25Yeah.
