55:56 And so I went down the kitchen here and packed a lunch, paper bag lunch for my daughter and me. And I'm thinking we'll all just go out and sit on the lawn and they'll come in here search the building get whatever they come to get and when their through will all come back in! That's how stupid it was... naive But as time wore on and more people came out, they were all going to jail. You're seeing pictures on the TV of them in their orange suits being arraigned in court and all that kind of stuff... This is not meant to be simplified up for you. What about later when branch of it would try to come out and get papers or documents or give things to the federal government?
56:38 I'd say the last week before the fire. So even when the feds... If somebody come out on the roof, if they come out a window or doorway for whatever reason including Steve Schneider who had already arranged over the phones to come out and they were going to bring some kind of stuff in. I don't know whether it was supplies for the typewriter or what, but they were bringing something in a tank and pulled up out there on the driveway he came out front door walked over to them gave him his stuff turned around got just about open the front door and lobbed these two flashbangs at him scared the daylights outta me David Jones got lobbed at we were out in the gym one day digging a hole
57:16 potty hole, you know. For dead? No no no for waste. Oh okay So we could hear them lobbing these things out just outside the wall it was kind of scary to hear them even though they were on the other side of the wall Flash bang grenades Well I assumed that would sound like the same kind of noise We didn't see those ones but like i heard Pablo Cohen got flashbangs, David Jones got flashbangs, Steve Schneider got flashbangs. So they would call you out to give you information or give you milk and throw flashbangs? Well Steve went out on what you might say an official agreed upon rendezvous that particular day some of the other guys might have just stepped up
58:03 for whatever reason. I'm sure you guys called to the negotiators and brought that up, what did they say when you said hey you told us come out your throwing grenades at us? I don't remember all the conversations back and forth most times when you brought any thing to their attention, to the negotiators' attention. They would disassociate themselves well you know we tell you things in good faith and uh... you know where the good guys but the tactical team we got no control over them and they just do whatever they want to do Good cop bad cop yeah so Do you think it was good cop bad cop psychology or real? I think some of the negotiators genuinely were upset that
58:47 they were losing credibility because of the actions of the people in the tanks and so forth. I think, you know one was hurting the other's efforts. So do you think that negotiators and troops out here actually had a little bit of feud going or you don't know? Yeah i think there is certain amount of rivalry. You know they like to throw up at David when we didn't come out as agreed early into peace they made this accusation, well you're a liar. You know the man of your word you can't be trusted and on one of the tapes David brings up he says, well you promised
59:26 certain things the other day and now it's different or you know, you didn't come through for us. Well well you gotta understand we're just peons You know We're just here doing the negotiating but we've got bosses over us making decisions. Well then how can we make a deal with you? And then uh... They've got bosses in Washington that overrule them and you just have to understand we really don't have a whole lot of power." And David says,"Well why is it that you can't understand I've got a boss upstairs?" that sometimes overrules, you know something we've agreed on yesterday. He may say no why can't you understand that I've got a higher up person that i gotta answer to and yet you know you want to call me a liar? You want to say well I'm not a man of my word but you can cop out when your promises don't come by because well we got people over us you know we're just... We've heard about them
