| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome to Grant's Interest Rate Observer of the Air. I'm Jim Grant, and with me today, |
| 0:08.9 | as always, Eric Whitehead at the controls. Phil Grant, the editor of Almost Daily Grants, diagonally, |
| 0:14.7 | I think is the word, seated from me diagonally, and directly across is the great Evan Lorenz, |
| 0:19.1 | deputy editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer. |
| 0:21.6 | And we are coming to you from the, let's be frank about this, a pretty darn bleak interior conference |
| 0:27.8 | room or otherwise kind of splendiferous corporate headquarters. |

| 0:34.7 | But next to me is the away travel suitcase, about which you hear more later. |

| 1:32.4 | Facebook page in the run-up to July 4th. |
| 1:34.8 | The ninth excerpt, it says here, was not published owing to the offensive nature of the content. |
| 1:41.6 | Ah, yeah, offensive. |
| 1:43.3 | And here's what it says. |
| 1:45.3 | I mean, Jefferson, I think, |
| 1:49.2 | and maybe you guys disagree, but I think that Jefferson in the Bill of Particulars against King George III, I think a little bit. He over-egged the pudding. Just by personal. But I think in this one |
