[0:22] We got part of the report as a spy.
[0:25] Well, apart from that, they deserved it.
[0:26] They set it up in the United States, and we've been kicked around.
[0:29] ABC did a good job.
[0:31] They did a good job.
[0:31] I agree.
[0:32] And I thought our Olympic Committee was dead wrong.
[0:36] They said that those two blacks that failed to shoot solos, you know, and turned their back on the flag, should not have been disqualified.
[0:45] The international officers called them our Olympics.
[0:48] They were nuts.
[0:49] But you agree?
[0:50] I agree.
[0:51] I had to run right out on the team.
[0:52] I would say that the international people took them up on them.
[0:56] They've got more pride in their country.
[0:59] Well, every country.
[1:01] I think the Russians should be disqualified.
[1:04] This internationalism is not the way for the future.
[1:25] All the numbers I was like.
[1:27] 1946, this is from Schultz.
[1:33] 1950, 1952, 1956, 1968, and 1972.
[1:36] Oh, how nice.
[1:41] That's a very good one.
[2:01] and she got very thoughtful playing with him too.
[3:17] Now, now.
[3:23] But you don't need anybody to do it.
[3:24] I have an insurance there.
[3:25] I'm going to get one of them.
[3:26] I'm going to do that.
[3:27] I'm going to do this.
[3:28] I'm going to do that.
[3:29] I'm going to do that.
[3:35] I'm going to do that.
[3:41] I agree.
[3:41] I agree.
[3:43] There are a lot of things.
[3:51] I don't know.
[3:52] He didn't need stuff.
[3:53] A water deal that occurred.
[3:55] A water deal.
[3:55] A building block deal.
[3:56] I don't agree with that.
[3:59] A housing deal.
[4:00] Every time you hear on some of the deals, and they all come in, it's just not your fault.
[4:06] You shouldn't keep anything on them.
[4:09] I mean, because they never know.
[4:12] Well, you just never know when he's going to be right.
[4:14] Then he'll stop.
[4:14] That's right.
[4:15] That's right.
[4:16] That's right.
[4:21] And that's, that's all they've got this time, these stupid antics of other people.
[4:27] And I just like to hear them.
[4:29] It just can't help it.
[4:41] The cat is nice, that boy.
[4:43] Her husband's a nice boy.
[4:45] What happened?
[4:46] Is his sperm dissolved or something?
[4:48] He lost his job.
[5:05] Well, I know Dick Moore called me a long time ago and said the boy wanted a job.
[5:08] He said, I don't think you should do anything for him here.
[5:13] And I said, no.
[5:14] Because I did it because of that husband of mine.
[5:17] Oh, Christ.
[5:18] You just can't have rain in that house.
[5:21] Rain in that house.
[5:22] Rain in that house.
[5:24] uh it's just a little bit and of course that's the irish
[5:54] You know, I mean, you could go to dinner or something with them.
[5:57] And I can't blame the kids.
[5:59] She's seen this all along.
[6:01] But the thing to do is not to put her in a position to be able to hurt her.
[6:14] But I just think what you do with those young kids is try to keep them out of the position of being able to do it.
[6:21] So you don't bring them back and put them
[6:25] and in the path of all the promoters who are around to talk a big game.
[6:32] Because a lot of people haven't been given the character to know the difference, or something, of promoters and others.
[6:46] Your kids have, because they
[6:59] I'm not sure I remember that one.
[7:03] Oh, yeah, yeah.
[7:05] She's older.
[7:07] That's a good question.
[7:11] I don't know.
[7:13] I don't know.
[7:15] I don't know.
[7:16] I don't know.
[7:17] I don't know.
[7:17] I don't know.
[7:18] I don't know.
[7:22] I don't know.
[7:23] I don't know.
[7:23] I don't know.
[7:27] I don't know.
[7:28] I don't know.
[7:28] I don't know.
[7:35] We've got to do something more than we've ever done before.
[7:38] We haven't done it.
[7:38] We've got to give it a first try.
[7:41] Yeah.
[7:43] But there was a new thing that came out.
[7:47] See, they're proud.
[7:48] Watches.
[7:48] We've given watches.
[7:49] We've given them some watches.
[7:51] Watches, ashtrays, those eyes on our dollars.
[7:54] We haven't given them the watches.
[8:04] I think what I would feel proud to do is send out boxes.
[8:41] Congressman here.
[8:42] Yes, sir.
