[5:47:59] He said, you know, look, we might not welcome a king, but I think we welcome a cardinal.
[5:48:02] Ha ha ha.
[5:48:02] So I thought you could give me this for that.
[5:48:05] Is Crowell king?
[5:48:06] I see.
[5:48:07] Well, I didn't know you were king, so you've got something to tell all of your dioceses now that the president says you're king now, and he came over to Foley.
[5:48:14] Ha ha ha.
[5:48:19] I see isn't a indicator.
[5:48:31] I see.
[5:48:31] I see.
[5:48:31] Yeah, yeah.
[5:48:32] Yeah, I just ran across it in my notes here, and I got...
[5:48:34] I had a...
[5:48:35] I had a...
[5:48:39] I had a...

[5:48:43] I had a...

[5:49:18] I've been working at the campaign with them.
[5:49:24] I can't catch up on the message, but you know that I'm going forward.
[5:49:31] Well, not much, actually.
[5:49:32] I was very interested in talking to my Soviet friends.
[5:49:34] They called my freshman.
[5:49:38] He said every year he takes off for months and months.
[5:49:43] But I don't think that luxury is the modern day presence.
[5:50:03] Actually, it's all I can do, and I tend, I don't know, there may be a time, I'm sure, when I'm lost, where I can really take off to.
[5:50:12] I think I can do it probably in a month, but I don't know where I can do it myself.
[5:50:22] I know, you know, you guessed it.
[5:50:24] About all I can do about that, I do have an idea for your reading quite a bit.

[5:50:45] Thank you for talking to me.
