[0:00] I'm Fred, I'm at the Colts.
[0:14] Okay.
[0:14] Hello.
[0:14] Our temperature was, uh, typically, uh, how you, uh, you know, on a 3-4, you know, we can do.
[0:16] Just make sure we're in this period.
[0:16] I think we're all doing very well.
[0:17] Time's great today.
[0:18] Hope you're good.
[0:18] We've got a lot of time tonight.
[0:22] You know, Henry is now doing very happy.
[0:42] He's been just talking to you like you're such a good man.
[0:44] I never know you.
[0:44] Okay.
[0:44] Yeah.
[0:44] And he said he was good.
[0:45] I was really happy.
[0:45] And when he said that, he said that I was good.
[0:46] It's the latest.
[0:46] It's been happy.
[0:47] You're a great friend of his.
[0:47] He's a great man.
[0:48] He's a great man.
[0:48] He's such a great man.
[0:49] It's the latest.
[0:49] I'm happy now that I've just been able to hold those people in my arms.
[1:07] Yeah.
[1:35] Yeah.
[1:35] Yeah.
[1:37] I don't know if you were just pretending to call over to the crowd and, you know, you and Stella can join in and, you know, help, and, you know, you can even just be one around them.
[1:58] Oh, I see.
[1:58] And then you'd be well to be called, you know, just in the line.
[1:59] I don't know if you could take it very well.
[2:00] It's pretty cold here.
[2:01] It is.
[2:01] It is cold.
[2:01] Is that a whole different thing?
[2:02] Is that a different thing?
[2:02] No, no, it is.
[2:03] It's a different weather situation.
[2:09] Yeah, I know, but we're in Oklahoma.
[2:33] You can say Bob.
[2:33] You can say first.
[2:37] I could do a little bit of what the president said to me.
[2:54] He told me that he had a few come out, and also the violence in W.C. where the president died on the medical floor.
[2:57] But I recall the fact that I may not have been able to find controversy in 1952.
[2:58] But those names speak up.
[2:59] My defense is as strong as his.
[2:59] And I just remember that when I was a nine-year-old, everyone up in there around me asked me to get back to work on some life savings before I got to be running.
[3:03] And let me tell you now what happened.
[3:04] Maybe he could just try to take things a little easier.
[3:22] You cannot let the right wing of the military, you cannot let the left wing get away with it.
[3:24] You have to stop, stop, or you have to be careful.
[3:25] Now the other thing is, get away with a very good argument, but it's always the Ohio security guard.
[3:27] And I don't think you're going to have any political people around anymore, do you?
[3:29] I can't wish about that.
[3:29] That's my point of view.
[3:30] I don't know.
[3:53] Alright, now we're moving out of the way on the left side of the bus.
[4:11] I think he's got to come around and say, like, hey, what's your statement on this?
[4:29] Yeah.
[4:30] I will not support them.
[4:53] I will not support them.
[4:57] Yeah, I don't think that's wrong.
[5:17] That's wrong.
[5:18] Yeah.
[5:18] I'll do it.
[5:38] I'll do it.
[5:38] I'll do it.
[5:39] I'll do it.
[5:48] No, no, no, no.
[6:21] You know, I mean, I need to make the right choice.
[6:46] By the way, so what happened there?
[7:04] It's very difficult to control.
[7:04] You know, he's a little lost.
[7:05] He said the editorial page of The Bay is very difficult.
[7:06] So that's only a fact.
[7:06] I don't see that part of the time that's going to be there.
[7:08] It's critical that they read editorial pages about it.
[7:12] Yes, sir.
[7:35] The only thing is, it's going to be a collection that has surely been stolen.
[7:37] Thanks for talking about it.
[7:37] Thank you.
[7:37] I'll be back.
[7:38] We just got a time figure out.
[7:38] Yes, sir.
[7:39] Thank you very much.
[7:39] Thank you very much.
[7:39] Thank you.
[7:40] Thank you.
[7:40] Thank you.
[7:50] They're all down where the end of the line is.
[8:19] They're not going to accommodate a small wave here.
[8:20] I'll get there.
[8:48] We'll be fine now.
