[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Hi, Daddy.
[0:12] How did you, uh... We saw the program.
[0:15] Thank you for having Steve put it on.
[0:17] Did you see it?
[0:17] No, I didn't.
[0:18] Yeah, he was good on that.
[0:29] Yeah.
[0:32] Good.
[0:33] You know, he handled the whole thing with dignity, and his questions were not in the form of indictments and all that.
[0:42] It wasn't a zoo.
[0:43] And it was just very well done, and it gave Colson a chance to take our very good case to the American people.
[0:50] You know, the commentator, Howard K. Smith, was asking the questions that the American people had on their minds, and some of the other...
[1:00] ... favorably inclined, members of the press asking, and Colson did a great job of answering.
[1:06] He really was convincing.
[1:08] Good.
[1:09] Good.
[1:09] He just, great.
[1:11] Over and out.
[1:12] He really did.
[1:13] Good.
[1:14] Excellent.
[1:15] And this whole thing with the lie detector test, everyone on our side's taken one.
[1:19] Yeah.
[1:19] No one on their side's been willing to.
[1:20] You know, all the people who are making the terrible accusations, willing to take a lie detector test.
[1:26] Yeah, that's true.
[1:27] That's a very strong point.
[1:29] Incidentally, I want to be sure to tell Mommy I'm going out to Sequoia with John Connolly and Al Haig tonight, so be sure that you know I'm not coming in, okay?
[1:38] Fine.
[1:39] Okay, Daddy.
[1:39] We'll talk to you later.
[1:40] This was great.
[1:43] Bye.
