[0:10] You know about that?
[0:15] You know, a bears can picture hanging.
[0:16] Isn't that all the schedule?
[0:20] The chairman of the...
[0:23] committee down there, there's a hanging picture.
[0:34] And I promised, I'm sure it's on the 12th or so, just try to do it at two, do it as close as two o'clock as you can.
[0:38] And the other thing would be a leader's decree, maybe the one that we're working on now, and cabinet report, four o'clock, 4.30, Friday.
[0:48] Good, good.
[0:54] All right, boys, we're all out.
[1:08] Have a good job.
[1:18] Goddamn.
[1:22] Really?
[1:28] Kennedy must be hungry.
[1:29] Let me, uh... Oh, of course, he thought about it.
[1:36] Well, that's kind of a record, though, of what... What?
[1:45] Yeah.
[1:45] Come on.
[1:45] Yeah, I know.
[1:48] I think these fellows are a little afraid of this public reaction on Facebook.
[2:16] Don't you agree?
[2:18] You gotta give your channel a little credit on that.
[2:38] The way he rewrote that.
[2:39] Don't you see how infinite and better it was?
[2:41] God damn it, he had fights.
[2:43] You know, he put you, he put it in your groin and twisted it.
[3:04] Whereas the other state, the father was just too nice.
[3:05] Too nice to do that.
[3:05] Good.
[3:05] That's very good.
[3:06] That's very good.
[3:07] Better off than the Russian cabinet and the other state.
[3:09] For breakfast, I can do that.
[3:09] For breakfast, I can do that.
[3:10] Let it go.
[3:10] Let it go.
[3:10] I don't know.
[3:10] I just think, I don't know whether it's
[3:13] The other one's hot.
[3:21] Yeah.
[3:21] That's right.
[3:23] Good.
[3:27] All right.
[3:29] Good.
[3:29] Good.
[3:29] All right.
[3:30] That's good.
[3:30] Fine.
[3:30] Nothing else in the line.
[3:33] Damn it.
[3:33] It's a chopper.
[3:33] Well, I'm mad about that.
[3:34] Yeah.
[3:34] And he should be mad.
[3:36] Good.
[3:38] I don't.
[3:41] I don't know if he takes time.
[3:43] So it'll take him 4.30 of 1983.
[3:50] He knows what I meant.
[3:51] I just meant to let it pass.
[3:58] The decision.
[3:58] Moving.
[3:58] That's all.
[3:59] Moving.
[4:00] Transfer the son of a bitch.
[4:07] Yeah.
[4:20] All right, I'll tell you though, just shake up this bureaucracy around.
[4:35] I'll tell her, I'll tell her, I'm gonna shake this up a little.
[4:36] All right.
[4:36] Two.
[4:36] All right.
[4:36] Yeah.
[4:37] Okay.
[4:37] All right.
[4:37] All right.
[4:42] Okay.
[4:44] Okay.
[4:44] I just wanted to be sure they all understood because don't let that poor woman take a beating on that son of a bitch.
[4:55] Yeah.
[4:55] Yeah.
[4:55] Yeah.
[4:55] Now let's go all over there and find every one of their various installations.
[4:58] And then we will get the story.
[5:03] And also the internal revenue, which we go after at times, particularly over us.
[5:08] Now, also, there's a man I trust up there.
[5:12] I'm planning to get off his ass and find out what it is.
[5:19] All right.
[5:24] A medium.
[5:26] Be a medium.
[5:26] Tell Dean to get off his ass and do it, and I don't care.
[5:29] Every other paper we've got to keep her reclined so we won't face out on this, because, you know, he's always on their side.
[5:36] I want the time to go after him, and tell Dean that's an order, and I want to see something fast, okay?
[5:42] Okay.
[5:42] Good.
[5:42] How do you take it?
[5:44] Yeah.
[5:44] Well, you know, he'd done so many nice things for Bob, I just felt it was just wrong.
[6:12] And what'd he say?
[6:13] Played big at Miami?
[6:13] That's good, huh?
[6:14] All right.
[6:14] Okay.
[6:14] Good day.
[6:15] Okay.
