[0:00] Yes, I have him on the line.
[0:03] There you are.
[0:04] Fred?
[0:04] Good morning, Al.
[0:05] Fred, after your discussion with the President last night, did you get that information to Dash?
[0:11] Oh, yeah.
[0:12] You did?
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:13] Dash denies that he ever said he was going to subpoena anything.
[0:16] He denies he said he was going to subpoena anything?
[0:18] Yeah.
[0:20] Well, it sure played today in the press.
[0:22] It sure did.
[0:25] I asked him to straighten it out in the press.
[0:28] Get it straightened out.
[0:30] I told him that, God damn it, we insist on it immediately.
[0:33] Well, we can insist now, but I don't know if you're going to do it.
[0:37] I insisted on it last night.
[0:38] Yeah, we didn't get him until late.
[0:40] What time did you get to him?
[0:43] Well, I called him immediately and left word.
[0:45] Then we couldn't find him anywhere, so I talked to Fred Thompson.
[0:50] And then Fred said he didn't know how to find him.
[0:54] Subsequently, Dash called me back, I guess, around— Lord, it must have been—he was after 9.
[1:03] Okay.
[1:04] 9-9 to 9-30.
[1:05] Okay.
[1:06] And then Thompson called back about a quarter to 10.
[1:11] Right.
[1:13] Okay.
