[0:00] Hi, John, how are you?
[0:16] Well, we didn't interrupt you.
[0:17] No, sir, today you got me away from the mayor who's behind me.
[0:20] That's good to know.
[0:31] That's about all I know.
[0:41] The prospects of getting the candidate out of the race in Arkansas are not clear, but I talked to Jim Rockefeller.
[0:54] He's up here talking to the director.
[0:56] Well, there's still a possibility.
[0:57] They think they can get him out.
[0:59] When Ross thought it was getting done, when he told me it wasn't good, there's an approach, and I don't know who to make the approach today.
[1:21] They say daily there's more than one.
[1:22] More than one.
[1:23] More than us.
[1:23] I don't know who to talk to.
[1:24] I know who to talk to, but I don't know who I can talk to.
[1:25] Why don't we have Henry talk to me?
[1:26] Henry can talk to me.
[1:26] Excellent.
[1:28] I'm sure he does.
[1:48] Yes, we really should.
[1:49] I know.
[2:00] .
[2:26] .
[2:26] .
[2:26] .
[2:27] I'll try David if you want me to.
[2:44] I think he'd be great if you could.
[2:45] Henry loves to get into this stuff.
[2:47] He's got to get him out of the way.
[2:48] I don't know where he's going.
[2:49] I don't know where he's going.
[2:50] I don't know where he's going.
[2:51] I don't know where he's going.
[2:51] I don't know where he's going.
[2:52] I don't know where he's going.
[2:52] I don't know where he's going.
[2:54] I don't know where he's going.
[2:55] I don't know where he's going.
[2:56] But when apparently he's got his back up and he's talking about, you know, he's going to have the candidates and so forth, he says now that they've got him in the middle, we're sure that the problem is going to be prior to this young congressman.
[3:14] Now that he's got him in the middle, he says, you know, it's right along and so forth.
[3:17] So I couldn't do it.
[3:17] How about you?
[3:17] Good.
[3:21] I would.
[3:21] That's good.
[3:33] I'll be staying over.
[3:39] I'll be there tomorrow.
[3:47] I'll be back tomorrow night.
