[0:02] Bill, I just wanted you to know that I thought that was a fine job you did yesterday of grabbing that flag when these people tried to take it down. [0:14] Now that, uh, I know all the heat people take around now, but, you know, these judges mean something. [0:20] You walked out there and grabbed it, too. [0:23] Didn't get scarred up? [0:26] No. [0:26] Hey, I think really that you're right. [0:28] They, uh, they're not, they're not interested in the fight. [0:31] They just want to do damage and let people run away.
