[0:01] Yeah.
[0:02] Mr. Ehrlich.
[0:03] Yes, sir.
[0:03] Oh, yeah.
[0:04] Oh, anything further on Wounded Knee?
[0:07] Yeah, we may have a break in the works.
[0:10] I just got a report that the two ringleaders of the dissidents have made off with the swag.
[0:16] They've taken the money that's been donated by people and have been seen in a nearby town headed out of town.
[0:23] The thing may be breaking up of its own weight at this point.
[0:28] I'll have a final report tomorrow at 10.
[0:30] And you're getting a message to Clint East we'd like for him to come back.
[0:34] Well, he's booked into a lot of speeches, and I'm going to talk to him again in the morning.
[0:38] He's got a Federal Bar Association speech.
[0:43] He's got a big dinner speech and won in L.A.
[0:45] I agree.
[0:46] I agree.
[0:46] That won't work.
[0:47] But we can see him in L.A. Friday night or Saturday morning.
[0:50] I see.
[0:50] He will be there, and I will be talking to him on a clear phone tomorrow morning at 10.30.
[0:57] All right, you do that.
[0:58] And he's got some reports that he wants to give me from Baker and so forth.
[1:01] Right, right.
[1:02] Have you heard from Gray today?
[1:04] Nope.
[1:05] Okay.
[1:05] Is he supposed to call me?
[1:06] He was going to call either you or me, so I'll get back on him.
[1:11] Right.
