Sure.
President, I would like you to just no comment that McGovern cracked about the Wallace people.

No.
You just don't have any comment.
No comment.

See, the election's over and you just don't have any comment on these political recriminations.
All right.

Yes, sir.
Okay.
I'm with him right now.
Yep.
Okay.
Thanks.
Bye.
