[0:00] Well, sir, I hate to bother you with details, but one thing you might follow up on, because I've got Al doing a couple of other things.
[0:07] Right, he's here now.
[0:08] Well, point one.
[0:11] I want this mailed very broadly.
[0:14] Yes, sir.
[0:15] Now, that means not only to editors, but to all Republicans, you know, the list of 10,000 Republican chairmen and so forth and so on.
[0:21] Right, right.
[0:22] Leaders, et cetera, et cetera.
[0:24] Yes, sir.
[0:24] You know, we've got to, don't you think it's a good idea?
[0:25] Yes, sir, to be done.
[0:27] With a good cover thing, fine.
[0:29] Incidentally, I think we're on the...
[0:31] damn good statement as it's finally finished.
[0:33] Oh, it's the next one.
[0:34] Yes, sir.
[0:34] Don't you think so?
[0:35] I'll tell you the truth.
[0:36] Not, Mr. President.
[0:38] The absolute fact of my opinion is that it is an excellent platform to move from.
[0:43] Well, raise questions.
[0:46] I'll say, well, now, didn't he read the stories with regard to the Cuban fund to help the defendants and so forth?
[0:52] You know, crap like that.
[0:53] Of course I saw such stories.
[0:54] I'd pay any goddamn attention to them.
[0:56] Right.
[0:57] But you can handle that, can't you?
[0:58] Sure.
[0:59] This is perfect.
[1:01] All right, boss.
[1:01] Start.
[1:01] Bye.
[1:02] We're really cranking.
[1:03] Good.
[1:03] Let's fight, sir.
