Hi, Henry.

I'm just working on my radio speech, but I went up today and the report this morning was that the ballpark was in a state of, in a state of, in a state of flood.

I saw that.

But I wonder if maybe a line should go out for this.

Yeah, that was very well done.

You think that'll hold the right ones, huh?

Got that impression on the left arm.

Yeah, I was worried.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, we're going to work it out.

Now, I am working with Christ.

I worked with him a lot last night.

I think it's a Vietnam thing.

I think it's, I'm trying to get it set in a way that the area that we're issuing is primarily going to be issued in America, so they're not going to make a bad settlement because of the election.

And that's what they're going to do.

I've got to say, I'm not certain.

I'm not certain with regard to .

OK. Now, before we finish, now, that'll be about 4 o'clock or 4.30.

I don't know.

OK.

So I'm happy before 3.

I don't know.

We've already done something great.

I don't want to talk too much about it.

That's what we did, but I'll do the final work on it myself.

If you didn't, then you can't talk to me like that.

But it's all worked out now.

But if you and I will work on the final thing, and build up the speech, I'll do it.

I'll talk to you about it.

All right, how you doing?

Fine, fine.

I don't plan to do it unless you have some, because I'm very ill.

But that's the greatest thing.

Yeah, you can come in, because that's out there for you.

Well, I'm going to help you.

I'm sure you're something that you've got to run for in policy.

Well, that's another call, isn't it?

All right.

No one else here.

Ah, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Is it?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

You know, some of that will help us, too.

Also, you know, I think that...

Buckley, everybody with me?

Good.

Okay.

Just keep rolling.

Okay.

Good.

All right.

Well, sir.

I was wrong to put on some of the government for tonight's meeting.

I just don't understand what the hell is the problem.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I guess the biggest issue right now is their people.

They are for these fuckers.

That's it.

That's right.

That's it.

They are for Chuck.

The best thing that should be a deal is to know that it's funny.

That's common.

That's great.

Now, for our people to read, because it is the essence of the campaign.

I'm just, I'm sure that I'm telling the truth right now.

Probably, it's an interview, but I always will.

District of San Fernando, I think, the middle class, you know, are very different.

Free San Fernando, the only person selected by the Senate, is a very important person.

And I know the dollar, but I find it, well, maybe, you know,

It's a mix, though.

It's a higher, upper middle income.

If you're not really upper middle, it's about $50,000.

Their houses check cost.

They're not bad.

and the people are proud to tell them that they've got a little house and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth

But the results in the precincts were made since 69, held in 31, which is 5-2 on the side of 16.

It was a precinct that was in an area that was narrowly carried by the U.S. You know, the area is 69, 31.

But what's the impact?

This is the whole point of this campaign.

People will get, they're just going to understand it was mostly coming from all the accordions today.

There are 24 races of democracies that definitely decided Mr. Nixon, apart from provisional complaints about Mr. McGovern's inconsistency.

The basic reason is highly alarming.

While all of the progress needed to come to the one, to the one, Mr. President made the big business of the White House.

They imposed, too, on McGovern's defense of welfare and taxation policy.

I have a cop.

Was there a farmer mayor down in Collinburg, Boston, who ran this road?

Not a person.

I don't know.

I don't get pissed off very often.

Not that.

There's only 500 people out there.

It wasn't a crime.

They burned a car, didn't they, or took over a car?

I don't know.

I don't know, but in every office before, there's a meeting in every office.

And let's say, for example, the price was horrible in Boston, you're in a small town.

that was working with us people, just the hardest thing, the hardest thing, right?

The only thing that helped us was the greatest,

you can't go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

It doesn't seem like the police will be closed until 6151.

6151.

It doesn't say who you want.

It says who you want to be present.

After all, that's what we want to come out with.

And that's what we're doing.

And I guess that we're down to 54.

Now we're 53.

We want to be more than that.

We're going to 32.

We're still big.

We're going to be better.

I mean, the, uh, what you call the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh,

You were pointed out to certain people.

That's right.

He did not.

He did.

But that ought to come back some.

Well, I should be crediting right now that we can somehow hold it.

Yes, sir.

It was all right.

I read earlier this time.

No, the way it came off, that was a good, basic learning.

But on the other hand, it was still a little difficult.

Yeah.

.

There's a line that is developing for county and county government, and again, it's one that, if you're a faculty, if you're in sports, you will have a firm hand, a very important hand, a strong hand in dealing with this world.

And there's a tough challenge there.

We know that it was a long period of time, but we really don't see as far as it goes.

I think you can do that for a second.

They should know how to block him out.

They've got plenty of time.

I like to show the time.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, I see.

I didn't hear it.

I said, I'm still working.

No, no, no.

What do you think about the...

I don't feel it's overkill.

I think that I can keep the pressure right on.

I'd be able to keep it active and still cut it.

And the money isn't really going to keep the pressure on.

It's true.

The reason you keep the pressure on us, of course, is that so you can put on us, well, the pressure, but also because there are people who want you to be present when they want you to be present, and some people rely on you, so they don't have to worry about any of those people.

I know there's been a bit of a summary, some said that you've gotten involved with the government for a long time, and I was like, you know, I think this is what we're very excited to do.

I have this idea that if you can't get this out of your stride,

pressure.

He was starting to relax now.

And to hold the other thing.

Now he's sitting on the real left, right?

He's really touching.

He's crushing.

What is the tactic?

I don't know.

.

The other question, we have asked for the schedule of the bill going forward, national and local.

That's where my days have been going.

Half of those four, a couple of four o'clock, turn around and then it's the weekend.

That's where I've been.

The internationals can't have it yet.

Although a few of them are.

I guess a little later on today.

I think they're going to win because it just kind of has people right up to their head.

I mean, it's going to stop you.

There's no point in still holding fire.

Well, the only way you can do it is if you kind of have a goal and you've got it.

I understand.

I didn't want to keep you behind, so I don't mind.

I know our people, but I think a regular group is probably great, but there's a bunch of people that I think that there's a tendency for them to think that they're going to spend time with each other.

We've all got our campaign to run by taking them out of the bar.

What do you think?

I agree.

Oh, wow.

Wow, I understand.

This is totally a racist strategy.

The only thing we can do is we've got to break it.

We've got to break it down.

I believe in it.

I didn't know what he was talking about.

If you don't get it, we're just going to go for a P-A-D-1.

And then if I get into it, just to throw a...

That's the old Irish.

Hey, what?

I guess a lot of people really didn't respond to it.

They're happy they can.

They said, look, I don't want to talk to you.

I don't want to talk to you.

I've actually spoken to Seth about it.

He's a good human being.

I've never seen him.

I've read it.

Come on, let's fix you up.

You know, you notice that I have a problem in busing.

Do you notice that at school, is there?

Or do you think probably it's because of the signage?

Why do you think that that is?

I think it is.

I always think that it is because of the signage.

I think it is because of the signage.

I think it is.

Wow, that's what it is.

The way we do it, we don't have to be in line.

You know something, I didn't realize it, but it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,

they're beginning to say a little bit about the issues with the people.

The other thing we didn't have the law ready to come to, basically, on the east of the Rwanda, part of the Rwanda, and they didn't, they didn't answer enough civil law, and that's what we're trying to do with what we have.

Again, what you said, and that's what we're trying to do.

That's a very, very good idea.

But the more that you can order,

Okay.

... ... ... ... ...

Thank you.

I agree.

This is what that house is.

It's going to be in a square.

But they say the same thing as the school said to go through all of those things.

That's why they're staying close to each other.

They're going to have it.

I'm sorry.

They won't be discussing it up in the kind of Western argument, but in the square, we saw a person, or an East person, and a white guy, they just thought it was a good idea.

Thank you.
