[0:00] Hello.
[0:04] Well, how's your morale today?
[0:11] Well, I don't know.
[0:12] It's just, I think the problem is more the case that you have the ordinary PIO involved.
[0:18] I can solve this arrest and just earn up to a job and I'll need to get a job press release.
[0:28] What's the comment then?
[0:31] And what happened?
[0:41] Well, with Carlucci there, we definitely have to give him the backup on the PR side.
[0:45] He'll do a hell of a job, but somebody's got to be there to give him the backup on the PR side.
[1:04] Good, good.
[1:08] Well, well, well, well, I'm sure.
[1:22] Good.
[1:26] That, that is going to get the, we will not get the credibility that he doesn't
[1:41] All of them.
[1:43] That's the way it's going to be.
[1:45] So I don't encourage you too much to say anything.
[1:47] You know what I mean?
[1:48] No, I'll take it from them.
[1:52] We're going to spoil it before we get to it.

[1:56] It would be 75 for a bear and the rest.
[1:57] That would be something along the lines of a photograph.
[2:18] He wasn't in.
[2:19] He had a PR plan.
[2:26] It's too early.
[2:39] No, no, no.
[2:43] He's great.
[2:44] They're all, and Roger's great.
[2:49] Well, the point is that they continue to debate it.
[3:24] charge counter charge.
[3:25] I understand that.
[3:26] The only point is you couldn't let it lie there without Hayden.
[3:31] And otherwise then the charge is never answered.
[3:34] Now the charge has been answered.
[3:41] Well, there I don't think they have all that much trouble.
[3:46] I've got on it according to Al Hayden from the reading over television show last night or something.
[4:06] Yeah.
[4:07] Yeah.
[4:10] That's good.
