I didn't know if you wanted to hook back.
Well, I didn't.
do anything with it.
I kept it for you.
And I understood you, I don't think you wanted me to file this.
I think you said you might want to dictate something on that.
You had one tape that you wanted me to file.
And maybe it's just one of those that you put next to private file, I don't know.
I don't want to work on it right now.
No, I didn't want to carry it around and be there.
Yeah, the thing about weather down there, you know, it's about the one time of year that we all forget, we can guess on it.
It's June.
And so they have a freak.
It is hard to...
Maybe you'd like somebody to take that mark in with you.
Everyone, all kinds of people have called, you know, so it's a great job you're doing.
Lauren Barry, you know, old friends.
Yeah, Pauline.
Back in Dayton now, in Florida.
Ann Downer, Courtney Virgin, and just all kinds of people have called.
People, many of them, who never bother consumers and don't want to bother you now, they just call us back and tell you you don't want to stop.
Yes, why don't you tell them, uh, we, uh,
I don't know whether the 15th dinner is marked in there.
Is it President of Mexico?
I'm not sure.
I don't think so.
I've told them not to.
be sure but they told him i'll have to go no well what you do is call him you can say you were going to camp david and tell him the helicopter won't work i hope you go by but the helicopter can't get up
What's the prediction?
Is it going to clear up up there?
Apparently not tonight.
And I'm predicting cloud.
Cloudy tomorrow, not rain.
It's about a 50% chance of rain tonight.
And cloudy tomorrow.
I'm going to get any decent weather up there.
It was so gorgeous here all of the weekend.
Yeah, the weekend was great here.
I knew it was a stage for a Florida excessive, but you know, all those things.
Saturday was in the 80s, but not human.
And Sunday, too.
Sunday, too, so it was a storm Sunday night.
Well, if you were in the country, you'd have a thunderstorm on Sunday night.
I think so.
Yes, you have.
Even California.
Even Bob Springs.
Oh, really?
Come on, Eric.
Well, let me think about it a little.
I don't know if they're going to have a helicopter or not.
I don't know.
Bob just told us a helicopter came.
Yeah.
Wait.
And why don't you just see what you want to do.
We'll hold out until you might still decide.
I read this.
What the hell do you think of getting an actual bail or something?
So it's disgraceful.
And then the jurors have a big party together with them.
One of them held up the clenched fist.
One of the jurors?
So he has to be convinced.
Well, and someone said that that white woman who obviously ran the whole, well, they were all white, women who ran the whole committee, the entire jury.
The jury.
The jury.
That's disgraceful.
If they were even in that much, I mean, there's real collusion there, but I don't think they had, they didn't have any sense to show up at those parties and dancing and having a big time together because she got free.
It's unbelievable.
Terrible.
And what a miscarriage of justice.
They're that jury.
They're smarter than our side.
They had that maturity absolutely fast.
Or else they had this one woman they knew was so much smarter than any of the others.
Actually, just eight to deport those people to Cuba or Russia or Poland or any of these places that they hold up as a great centers of freedom and not oppression.
Sure could.
So I said, thank God we were done.
How about when he killed her?
He said, well, I don't think he'd call me again.
I bet she called him out of the way.
Yeah.
She really is a horrible person.
She's going to cause a lot more trouble.
She needs official care over there, too.
Yeah, the musky came off for her, which is good.
I'm not musky.
I'm a governor.
A governor?
Yeah.
I think anyone would think that in the country, even if anything, God forbid, ever happened to you, and he were the other candidate, it just seems to me that the country would, anyone would think that would run for the hills.
I wonder how much time it would save.
And I still don't know how much time it would save.
But that is not only about a third of the way, but it's the traffic ways.
