| 0:00.0 | This is Sid and Friends in the Morning. |
| 0:04.8 | 77 W.A.B.C. |
| 0:06.9 | For those of us that live here in the district, you said when you came in, you were going to make Washington, D.C. great again. |
| 0:13.4 | Right. |
| 0:14.0 | One of the issues we've got right now is we understand there might be an imminent deal between the owner of the Washington football team, whatever you want to call them now commanders, and locally in getting the Redskins back to DC and RFK Stadium. That's on federal property. Are you going to be involved in that negotiation? And would one of the stipulations be they changed their name back to that |
| 0:38.0 | prison oh I say well that's that's a little bit nobody's asked by that one look I |
| 0:44.1 | think when the the Indian population is a great part of this country great heritage |
| 0:50.6 | and we were talking about Massa Picua law Long Island, the chiefs, they call them. |
