As I mentioned, I was in a different conference room a couple doors down the hall. I let it be known I'd like to go listen to the press conference. The folks that were escorting me in the building walked me over. I didn't even open the door. The door was open for me, and I spent a few minutes in the back of the room just listening in until the rhetoric, the political rhetoric got to be too much. (04:05–04:09)
