[0:00] Hello.
[0:04] There you are.
[0:04] Hello, Paul.
[0:04] How are you, sir?
[0:05] How are you?
[0:06] Well, how are things going in your show?
[0:09] They're going great, sir.
[0:10] Great.
[0:10] That's fine.
[0:10] I loved your talk yesterday.
[0:23] Did you get to see it on TV?
[0:32] You're right.
[0:32] I thought it was just... Yeah.
[0:32] I mean, you not only named them, but you got the ratification all at once.
[0:34] Well, we put it to them a little.
[0:35] We surprised them.
[0:35] As CBS said, NBC said, when you signed off, they said, what a very statesman-like thing to do, to go and present your case.
[0:38] Because it was a marvelous case.
[0:39] Pretty hard to knock these guys.
[0:39] I would think so.
[0:40] They can...
[0:40] Well, they'll be approved, these two.
[0:46] These two, yep.
[0:48] Well, the show's going well, isn't it?
[0:56] Yes, sir.
[0:56] Yes, sir.
[0:57] I met your man, Blatchford, the other day.
[1:04] Oh, yes.
[1:04] Joe Blatchford.
[1:05] He told his people he wanted to meet me, and he came out of the office for half an hour, and, you know, we're just small talk, so he's an awful bright guy.
[1:08] He really is, yes.
[1:09] Able fella, right?
