0:28.5 | Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. I had some luck. I was able to get Keith Preston after all. I mentioned |
0:33.6 | him in episode 977 and I said that I had read what he had to say about what happened |
0:38.9 | in Charlottesville, and I thought it was very sober and as dispassionate as you can expect |

1:41.0 | Hello, Tom. All right. I read your piece on Charlottesville. I liked it very much. |
1:46.2 | I recommended it in yesterday's episode 977 with Paul Gottfried, and he likes it very much, and I saw that he emailed you about it. |
