[0:00] Hi, Rose.
[0:05] On that, uh, on the new record, uh, Reverend Milton Norris Cotton.
[0:17] Say, dear Norris, uh, many thanks for your statement about my welcome to the nation.
[0:19] Uh, heard violent your gun's exclamation point.
[0:23] Sincerely, R.N.
[0:23] Okay.
[0:35] He's all right.
[0:46] He's all right.
[0:53] He's all right.
[0:54] He's all right.
[0:54] He knows pretty good.
[0:54] He really does.
[0:55] He's all right.
[0:55] He's all right.
[0:55] He's all right.
[0:56] Nobody did really try to operate.
[1:18] He just probably scrounged around on a picture here and there.
[1:19] But at least I was very glad to see that our people were honest to see what it is to try to help New York Times in such an article.
[1:22] They did.
[1:22] That's the point.
[1:22] I told them time and again not to.
[1:23] So I just couldn't get that out of the way.
[1:24] But I don't think anybody else did.
[1:28] I just didn't want, I don't care if it was moving or if it was possible, I didn't want to cooperate with the New York Times on something, you know, because they are not there to help us.
