[0:05] Pretty good.
[0:28] Pretty good.
[0:28] Did you use the whirlpool?
[0:29] Yeah, he's got big-time navigation.
[0:30] What are the next whirlpool batteries?
[0:30] Yeah, they've got a pretty big one.
[0:31] I'll do that one out of here.
[0:32] Yeah, you've got a reaction that one.
[0:32] Yeah.
[0:33] One in the air, huh?
[0:33] Yeah.
[0:33] Step outside.
[0:33] We've got three.
[0:42] Yeah, the dirty cat came.
[0:49] Well, they came.
[0:53] I didn't see his phone.
[0:55] It had a whole page, a whole top page, letters, that headline.
[1:01] Mattowitz, Shriver, and all these.
[1:03] What did they deny, they said?
[1:04] No, they denied it.
[1:05] It was a cat.
[1:05] I mean, that's what it got you.
[1:06] Good.
[1:08] Good, good.
[1:09] How are you coming up with the others?
[1:14] But I think it was good to get out there and take care of him.
[1:45] What'd he say?
[2:03] What'd he say?
[2:13] I'm sorry we didn't go after that.
[2:24] No, no, we just had it there.
[2:32] They were gotten to double standard.
[2:34] Some people did criticize the government.
[2:38] Some ignored it.
[2:38] And the message was clear.
[2:38] Ha!
[2:38] Oh, that's good.
[2:39] That's good.
[2:39] How do you think of that?
[2:40] I think of some more things like that.
[2:41] I mean, they're related to Grandpa, too.
[2:41] So I was pretty just thinking about that stuff.
[2:43] There will be a nation in this.
[3:02] There's another one point that I wish you'd follow up on, which is the idea that you've got to keep before front and center the fact that McGovern was Kennedy's candidate.
[3:07] Right, right.
[3:07] You know, is that the same kind of view?
[3:08] Well, basically that he was Kennedy's man.
[3:09] I mean, don't let Kennedy run away from McGovern.
[3:10] That's the right line.
[3:13] Sure.
[3:28] They're going to have quite a fight in their name.
[3:29] I'm sure of that.
[3:29] What?
[3:42] Okay.
[4:10] Okay.
[4:15] Okay, let it out.
[4:17] Let it out.
