00:27That's pretty good.
00:28Well, yeah, but you're right, it's actually 200, including the 40, so it's over $200 billion,
00:36but 160 in terms of the jets, that's fantastic.
00:39So that's a record, Kelly, and congratulations to Boeing.
00:43Get those planes out there.
00:44Get them out there.
00:46But I just want to thank you.
00:47We've been friends for a long time, long before politics.
