[0:01] So, when is Manolo getting back?
[0:04] Do you know?
[0:07] Yeah.
[0:09] Yeah.
[0:13] I said, on Manila, Walter, I'm going to have him go to Florida.
[0:18] Don't tell anybody about it, you know, anybody around, family or anybody else, because I'm just going to, Saturday morning, I've got a courier plan I have to send down anyway, and I'm going to have him be in a go with the dogs and stay there two weeks, which will be a good one.
[0:30] We can sit down there.
[0:32] Right.
[0:33] Good.
[0:37] They're not moving him today, then?
[0:41] You see, the problem is I want to drop by and see him, but I don't want to see him there.
[0:48] And I wouldn't do it until Friday, but you don't think he'd be at Walter Reed by Friday?
[0:57] The slightest idea, nobody on our staff has the slightest idea I'm going to do this, I understand.
[1:02] It'll be a draw because I don't want to build up and then not do it.
[1:05] But you mean they don't think they can move him until maybe Friday?
[1:16] else is still grandma.
[1:22] If the pregnancy is bad, you mean if they could get the bullet out, would that change it?
[1:32] I think, I think what you can just say, I called again.
[1:36] I called at 2.30.
[1:37] I called twice a day and that I sent my best.
[1:39] They had, he already
[1:42] She, she, he and Katie didn't want to talk about it.
[1:45] But I, I just, just, just said that I sent my best wishes that I'm at Camp David.
[1:48] Okay.
[1:48] Bye.
[1:49] Bye-bye.
