[0:03] I don't want to bother you, but I just want to be sure you got ahold of Connie and got her straightened out for tomorrow. [0:10] Today, there were four people from the Washington Post looking at the Christmas tree. [0:15] I had given an order, which you may recall quite clearly, that nobody in the Washington Post was ever to be in this house again. [0:23] And, you know, I want to enforce, I want you to call Connie, call me back, ask her why they were there, and tell her if there's ever anybody that's there, her ass is out in five minutes. [0:32] Okay? [0:32] Okay, fine. [0:33] Thank you, sir.
