Anyone 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: can take any of these questions and just jump right in. 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: But let's start with the title, Pipe the bimbo in Red? 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: Can you either of you explain that. 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 3: That's William, that's William's title? 42 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: Good, explain it, Waimams the bimbo in Red comes from 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 4: the famous lunch scene between Dean Andrews and Jim Garrison 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: in the movie JFK, where the scene opens and they're 45 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 4: in the restaurant, and Andrews says, pipe the bimbo in 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: red and Garrison says, yeah, he's cute you, you know, 47 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: but not half as cute as you are, and then 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 4: it goes into a discussion about his Warren Commission testimony. 49 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: It's a classic scene and it's my favorite in the movie. So, 50 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: considering that this book was basically about Dean Andrews and 51 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: Jim Garrison, I thought it was appropriate. 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: And so Dean Andrews, as I mentioned in the opening 53 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: of the of the show, kind of used this antiquated 54 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 2: kind of bebop jive talk. Was is that an accurate portrayal? 55 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: Was was that the way was Dean Andrews that sort 56 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 2: of colorful, flamboyant. 57 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: Yes. 58 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 4: When I talked to his son, Dean Andrews II, I 59 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: asked him about that particular thing, and he said he 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 4: thought John Candy was pretty good. And he said he 61 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: got the he got the lingo down down right, like 62 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 4: the right tata, but the wrong ho ho. He said 63 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: he did really good with the language. And he said 64 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: his father did use that kind of language when he 65 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 4: was hanging out with those sort of people, but when 66 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: he was hanging out with other types of professionals and 67 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: things like that, he you know, knew the proper language 68 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: to use. But that was definitely part of his character. 69 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: In the opening, again, I gave just kind of a 70 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: quick summary of what Dean Andrews told the FBI, what 71 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: he told the Warren Commission. I don't know, don if 72 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: you want to take this one, just kind of back 73 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: up and let's walk us through this again, just so 74 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: that we understand the significance of Dean Andrews' testimony to 75 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: the FBI, the Warren Commission, and later during the Garrison trial. 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, well. The first of all, the inspiration for 77 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 3: the book came from my friendship with Dean Andrews. The 78 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: third who is Dean Andrews or the bat Nickle and 79 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: her son and he was actually my brother's best friend. 80 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 3: So I came to know him through the Dean was 81 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: over our house quabe known for over twenty years. He 82 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 3: was here for many family gatherings and I got to 83 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: meet his what his mom is still alive. She I 84 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: was the first researcher she talked to ever because she, 85 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 3: you know, their life was disrupted and so she you know, 86 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: kind of resented that and just thought her husband was crazy. 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: But you know, Dean Andrews Junior was the impetus really 88 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: for after Russell Long in the scene from JFK where 89 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: Walder Mathow plays Russell along and talks about Maggie's drawers 90 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: and gets Garrison interested in the assassination again by telling 91 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 3: them the Warren Commission is a load of crap. And 92 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 3: he one of the first things that really caught his 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: interest when he got the twenty six bunds of hearing 94 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: exibit's like a lot of us did, and started reading 95 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 3: the testimony. He knew Dean Andrews, Dean Andrews him friends, 96 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: and he saw his testimony. He just you know, he 97 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: had him keep it up with it. So when he 98 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 3: saw this and he I don't think he knew about 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 3: the call or anything like that, and he heard Dino's 100 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: Dean talking about you know, he was this this mysterious 101 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: phone call from a Clay Berkman. So that intrigued him. 102 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: And then you can see in the movie when he's 103 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: eating at lunch, eating lunch with him where the title 104 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 3: comes from. That's where he was first trying to dig 105 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: around and figure because he knew Andrews was the key here, 106 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: and also he was friends with him, so we you know, 107 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: trying to figure out why he got that call out. 108 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: You know, I personally, I don't know about whim, but 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: I personally believe you know, we call it the ground 110 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 3: level plot in New Orleans, but I think Andrews was 111 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: being manipulated for whatever reason. I think he was chosen 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: to be Oswald's lawyer. During the summer of sixty three. 113 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: He interacted with Oswald, and he interacted with all those 114 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: Cubans that were everywhere in that ground level plot. And 115 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: I think the Cubans are a distraction. To be honest 116 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: with you, I don't think you had anything to do 117 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: with assassination, but they were all around those characters. And 118 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: so you had David Ferry, you had you had Sergery 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: or Roches Smith, a lot of these Cubans, you had 120 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: Jack Martin, you had Guy Banister, all these people that 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 3: we talk about in the book. And I think Oswald 122 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: is obviously being groomed to be the patsy. And I 123 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 3: think why Garrison did that. He was told he was 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 3: in some kind of an undercover agent at THEI or CIA, 125 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: and he was told to infiltrate a plot that people 126 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: were planning to assassinate the president. I personally think they 127 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 3: probably all were being manipulated against each other. They might 128 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 3: have all been told the same thing, but that's how 129 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 3: he got set into there. And I think because Dean 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: Andrews has chosen whatever to be the lawyer for this stuff, 131 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: I think they picked him to make that call. I 132 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: can only speculate about why they made the call, because 133 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: presumably they were already planning to kill Oswald, so he 134 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: wouldn't have needed an attorney. But I think if Dean 135 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: Andrews is puzzled about it for the rest of his 136 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: life as we go into the book, especially through his 137 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: son he was, he really did pretty much go crazy, 138 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: became super paranoid. In real life, private life, he wasn't 139 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: like he told NBC, and you know, he lied and 140 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: was charged with perjur and everything because he wanted to 141 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: said he wanted to save his own neck, I like 142 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: to breathe is what he said, because he saw all 143 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: the other people that were that were being killed, dying mysteriously. 144 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: So he lied to save himself and his family. But 145 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: in private he believed there was a huge conspiracy and 146 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: he thought they were going to get him. And we 147 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: go into that a little bit in the bug. 148 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: Okay, So when you say he lied to save himself, 149 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: are you referring to the FBI claiming that he later 150 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: recanted and said that he made this whole story up 151 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: about getting a call from. 152 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: Clay Bertrand right, Well, I think what they tried to 153 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: do they basically planted that idea and just told him, hey, look, 154 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: you know you're on drugs. You know you could have 155 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: imagined this. And so you can see, you know we're 156 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: talking there. We had the progression of like the way 157 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: his stories changed, and people can judge for themselves that 158 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: you can see the process ongoing where they're telling him, well, 159 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: you know, maybe imagine this you're on a lot of drugs, 160 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: you know, you weren't feeling well or whatever. And they 161 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: eventually got him to say that. But he had a 162 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: vested interest in that, and you can see it a 163 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: lot of his lawyers, I mean a lot of his 164 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: interviews that Harold Weisberg did, and we rely a lot 165 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: on Wiseburg's great work Oswald in New Orleans. He was 166 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: want to prot Garrison's first investigator. But you know, he 167 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: talked to all these people, and Andrews knew what was 168 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: going on. I am proved that he would say that. 169 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: But he's an important figure because he really got Jim 170 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: Garrison's attention on you know what became the only time, 171 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 3: the only press accution and the John F. Kennedy assassination 172 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: that ever took place. Was clay Show. I would go 173 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: to a lot in clay Shaw's background as well. In 174 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: clay Shaw, I don't think and Dean Dean the third 175 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: tell you know, they know in certain terms in the 176 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: book that yes, Dean clay Shaw was was Bergram, There's 177 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: no question about it. But if you look at Shaw's background, 178 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: I think Shaw was probably the connector the condoy between 179 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 3: the grand level of plot in New Orleans and the 180 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 3: real conspirators. I think he's because you look at his 181 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: background and this guy had connections going back to Operation 182 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: paper Glib in World War Two. 183 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: William, why do you or first of all, did Dean 184 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: Andrews ever have contact with Clay Bertrand slash clay Shaw? 185 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: Did he ever meet him face to face? 186 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 4: Well, according to Dean Andrews the Third, I think we've 187 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: solved the mystery about uh, Clay Bertrand being Clay Shaw. 188 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: I don't remember did we did we find out whether 189 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 4: or not he was You ever met him? I don't 190 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 4: think he ever did. 191 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: No, Dan the Third, I don't think he ever did. 192 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: But but he you know, he basically says, of course 193 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 3: he was the same person and Dean Junior, and he 194 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: gave there, you know, very wildly, you know, varying descriptions 195 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: of him. And clay Shaw was a tall man. At 196 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: one point he described him in short and uh so 197 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 3: again I think he was just playing games. But there's 198 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: I mean, there's no question. And Clay Shawn was the 199 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 3: famous scene in JFK where he officer Habngrse I think 200 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: his name was. When he was being booked, he gave 201 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: he asked him he had any a listens and he said, 202 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: Clay Bertrand. So they put that down on a sheet 203 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: and there's the famous scene in the movie where the 204 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: judge won't allow that in and Kevin Costner saying, what 205 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: are you talking about? That's you know, that's my case, 206 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 3: and he said, well, Jimbo, you should have a stronger 207 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: haze or something like that. And so there's no question 208 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 3: that was Clay Bertrand, and especially in the French quarter 209 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 3: and everything was he was known because he led that lifestyle, 210 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 3: and Garrison, to his credit, when they rated his very 211 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: impressive home on Dauphine Street, they found a lot of, 212 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 3: you know, really S and M type gay stuff. There's 213 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: a lot of sexual things in there, and he purposely 214 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: kept that out of the newspapers. A lot of people 215 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 3: claimed he was trying to be sensationalistic, but he actually 216 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: downplayed that. But I don't think there's any question that 217 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: that Shaw was Bertrand. But whether to what degree, you know, 218 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: Dean would say in private that you know, he had 219 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 3: conversations Bertrand would just send him clients. And again that 220 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 3: plays into my personal theory that Dean was being used 221 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: as well because Bertrand again was probably the connection between 222 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 3: the conspirators, and so he was between them and the 223 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: Ron blah blah blat and the real conspirators, and he 224 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: was probably sending them these cubans. He said, I deal 225 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: with a lot of gay caballeros, and you know, he's 226 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: colorful language and Oswald. Now whether Oswald really needed was 227 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: really seeking help of the dishonorable discharge or his wife's 228 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: immigration status, I don't know that could. I personally think 229 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: it's probably part of whatever he was designed to do. 230 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: William, why do you suppose Dean Andrews is by and 231 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: large overlooked And as you say this, this ground level 232 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: plot in New Orleans, do you think it gets enough attention. 233 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 4: I think a lot of people think that that Dean Andrews, 234 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 4: for whatever reason, the spun stories there. There are a 235 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: lot of people that don't like Garrison. They feel that 236 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 4: he was using this the Kennedy assassination two for his 237 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: own career. That I don't take that view at all. 238 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: I think Garrison was was an honorable man. And I 239 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 4: named one of my sons his middle name is Garrison. 240 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: That's the respect I have for him. You know, they 241 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: like to portray Dean Andrews as this jive talking lawyer, 242 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 4: and he was that to a certain extent, but that 243 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 4: was kind of like his persona in given situations. They 244 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 4: ignore him because people don't want to believe it, you know. 245 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 4: They they don't want to give Garrison the credit that 246 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 4: he's due, and they try to make Andrews part of that. Well, 247 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 4: he was just one of these crazy New Orleans guys. 248 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: I think that's why. 249 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: And did Garrison or Garrison and Dean Andrews. Did they 250 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: go to law school together? 251 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: They did. 252 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: That's how they met. Yeah, they knew each other from 253 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: a long ways back. They had had a friendship. That's 254 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 4: not that's what you know. We learned a lot about 255 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 4: that from Dean Andrews and the interviews I did with him, 256 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 4: Dean Andrews Junior. And I'm really proud of that because 257 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 4: in this book, it's the first time that Dean Andrews 258 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 4: Junior has come forward and was willing to talk about 259 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: what he knew. You know, when I first learned that 260 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: that gone knew Dean Andrews the third I couldn't believe 261 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: it. It was like, well, what are you doing about that? Well, 262 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 4: he's a he's a family friend. And I said, well, 263 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 4: I think that this ought to be explored more, and 264 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: so we did that. I mean, sometimes you get so 265 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 4: close to somebody that you don't see the significance of it. 266 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 4: They become not this person that is part of this 267 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 4: you know, historical event, but they become your friend, and 268 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 4: so you can lose side of how important that could be. 269 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 4: And I don't know that Don did that, but I 270 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 4: just think he was so comfortable with having Dean around 271 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 4: that he didn't really think too much about home. Well, 272 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 4: here's this person that can give us this information. 273 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Listen to more at Coast to Coast AM every weeknight 274 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: at one am Eastern, and go to Coast to coastam 275 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: dot com for more
