[0:00] Oh, I didn't get a chance to finish it, but how would you do it?
[0:13] I got a little of that book myself.
[0:20] I got over it last weekend, but the car sales, that's right.
[0:22] Yeah, yeah.
[0:33] Great.
[0:34] Great.
[0:35] I'll be all ready.
[0:51] Good.
[0:51] Yeah.
[0:51] Yeah.
[0:51] You might check to see what he wants me to wear.
[1:09] I think they pretty much got .
[1:38] 5, 9, 10.
[1:38] 10, 11, 12.
[1:39] Okay, well, that's all set.
[1:56] Everybody's happy with it.
[1:59] And you got the, you got that?
[2:01] Yeah.
[2:01] That's right.
[2:01] We, what we, I told her to put her on, I told her to put, put her on full-time anyway.
[2:06] She used to be on, like, invention on.
[2:06] So I'm going to go get her right now.
[2:07] And she's going to be able to put her on payroll until that's done.
[2:09] You know?
[2:10] Sure, sure.
[2:16] Pat talked about it, and I said, absolutely, absolutely.
[2:27] She wants to take a leave of absence, and I said, anyway, we want to, and I said, sure, we'll put her on for you now in November.
[2:31] She's very useful.
[2:32] Pat likes her.
[2:32] She loves her with her clothes, you know.
[2:33] She can travel with her.
[2:33] She can do the drills there, you know, with other people.
[2:34] It's just great.
[2:35] It's just great.
[2:35] She'll feel better about it.
[2:37] And also, when we're away from them, there's something unexpected that comes up.
[2:55] We don't have it a lot.
[2:56] I had a note I had to ask you, and I let you know.
[2:57] Yeah.
[2:57] Well, I'll kind of wait for it.
[2:59] I'll ask you about it.
[3:03] Thank you.
[3:07] No, wait a minute.
[3:31] No, I don't know.
[3:49] I don't know.
[3:49] I don't want the man to put his joint up in the air.
[3:53] Maybe it's better that she sees him when we're out there and she has a chance to look at him.
[3:55] There we go.
[3:55] There we go.
[3:56] Okay.
[3:56] There's nothing else to ask me about.
[3:56] Right in the back.
[3:58] That's right.
[4:03] Are we taking this suspect?
[4:21] I noticed you prevented him from watching.
[4:22] Certainly not.
[4:22] It's all that I have to watch.
[4:23] Right.
[4:23] Okay.
[4:38] It's a bit of a natural.
[5:14] Oh, no, he's wrong.
[5:26] Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
[5:28] Now, let's see if he got better than that.
[5:29] He held the thing pretty good, a hell of a good idea there.
[5:30] Send that to Earl.
[5:31] and tell him that I want an answer prepared along the lines of things that we have discussed with friends of mine.
[5:50] And Frank, you haven't answered everything.
[5:53] You ought to talk to him about it.
[5:53] No, that's totally wrong.
[5:54] Totally wrong.
[5:54] Totally wrong.
[5:54] You ought to...
[5:55] But he's absolutely right.
[5:55] Absolutely right.
[5:56] And he's very, very right.
[5:56] And that's the right answer.
[5:57] are that way because basically they're sort of on the liberal left.
[6:20] They want to redistribute the wealth, but most of them aren't paid that much.
[6:22] That's really what they're down to.
[6:22] I think so.
[6:23] Tell John.
[6:23] So, John, when you talk to him, and I'll be gone now, I think, after that meeting for the once-in-a-catholic meeting, so sometimes if you ought to...
[6:46] If you ought to get Rick Gray in and chat with him a little bit about the presentation, make him stand to his feet.
[6:48] Okay?
[6:48] Fine.
[6:48] I just don't want to throw form a letter out here.
[6:49] Okay.
[6:50] Fine.
[6:50] All right.
[6:50] Go ahead.
[7:05] Yeah.
[7:35] Great fun.
[7:38] It has to do with a lot of the same things we're doing.
[7:47] The way they mobilize the press and the way they mobilize the senators and the rest.
[7:53] Oh, it's fascinating, right?
[7:55] They could put this book, frankly, if I had to take this book and insert some of the space program, the Nixon fight in the war in Vietnam, the same thing.
[8:01] and the Cambodian exercise, and how that's been done, and then the May 8th, and how that's been done.
[8:18] Oh, I know, I know.
[8:19] That was the best thing.
[8:22] Damn good book, too.
[8:22] Yeah.
[8:22] I read the whole thing.
[8:23] In between, blank, blank.
[8:23] Yeah.
[8:23] You got my note about the McCabe's.
[8:25] I wanted it.
[8:30] Yeah.
[8:30] Yeah.
[8:31] Nice, great hand glasses.
[8:50] Good.
[8:51] Great.
[8:51] Black.
[8:54] Oh yeah, we heard about that.
[8:56] That's why we took him for a shot today.
[8:57] Oh, we wouldn't do it?
[8:57] Oh, we don't plan to.
[8:58] Oh, good.
[8:58] We didn't know about that.
[9:03] Yeah, well, where were we?
[9:08] We didn't hurt.
[9:11] We got there, but there was some kind of a dog disease.
[9:15] Oh yes, it's very nice.
[9:16] Beautiful beach and grass, but apparently there's something on the grass out there that's bad for dogs.
[9:18] Yeah.
[9:19] Yeah.
