[0:01] Hello?
[0:02] Hello.
[0:02] Hi, Rose.
[0:03] Hi.
[0:03] I was wondering if, you know, I don't want to call Maury and John because they'll be asked and they should not have an answer, but if you wouldn't mind calling Keech and saying that the boss thought...
[0:17] knows that in the end they'll be vindicated, just has every confidence.
[0:20] Would you do that, please?
[0:21] Sure.
[0:22] You see, I shouldn't, you know, I don't want them to be in a position where they say, well, did the president call?
[0:26] Well, I think I should tell them that, don't you?
[0:27] Yeah, tell them that, exactly.
[0:29] That said, that the president felt that he knows that you'll be asked and that you shouldn't be involved in that, but you're just passing a personal note to them from me that I was just, that I went and forgotten them, and I think it's a hell of a note, okay?
[0:42] Sure.
[0:42] Because, you know, it's a very, very
[0:45] This darn thing is very complicated, you know, this contribution and who gave what and who lied and this and that.
[0:52] Yeah.
[0:52] You know, it's just too bad.
[0:53] It really is.
[0:54] It really is.
[0:55] Such nice guys.
[0:56] Yeah.
[0:57] So I'll be glad.
[0:58] Marty was so delighted to hear this.
[1:00] Yeah, but you tell him that I called and try to get John and Martha around, okay?
[1:05] Yeah.
[1:06] Thank you, Russ.
[1:09] Okay, thanks.
