[0:00] So, hi, Gary.
[0:15] Fine, I just wanted you to know before you got tied down that you were in some place.
[0:23] One, how delighted we were.
[0:24] I was with that boat, you know, and I just hope the damn Senate's listening to you.
[0:25] And the other thing is that I'm pleased I listened to what you said about Pop.
[0:27] Golly, I try to, I call him every night.
[0:28] Just
[0:28] It breaks my heart because they really crucified that boy.
[0:44] Or they were going to crucify him.
[0:50] He's a gentleman.
[0:50] He's a gentleman.
[0:51] And I don't think he can take it.
[0:52] That was it.
[0:52] He told me about his wife, his daughter.
[0:54] He gets one of those nice Virginia boys.
[0:59] Oh, that's what I meant.
[1:13] That was terrific.
[1:14] That was great.
[1:14] Did they get him?
[1:15] No.
[1:17] Well, Colson's getting in the credit.
[1:18] He works, he kicks their butts right up through the wall.
[1:21] Did they get some letters from him?
[1:24] Yeah.
[1:24] Yeah.
[1:24] And that helps, doesn't it?
[1:25] Yeah.
[1:25] Yeah.
[1:26] Yeah.
[1:26] That's right.
[1:31] They've got to do that.
[1:33] They must do that.
[1:35] Listen, I'll call him up.
[1:40] That's got to be helpful.
[1:41] All right, I'll call him up.
[1:43] Okay.
[1:43] All right, fine.
[1:43] Good luck.
[1:44] Thanks, thanks, thanks.
