He talked about [music] trade and suddenly detoured in the middle of his aid. Where is Rory? Where is Rory? Macaroy right [music] now. That man showed uncomparable courage. Take a bow.

2:50>> [music] >> The state dinner came later. The white ties were on. The chandeliers were glowing from the evening [music] to the dawn. King Charles gave a toast about the history they share. 250 years of partnership declared. The president responded. He raised his glass up high.
