But when we called grace and repeatedly to come on the factor somehow that guts gonna disappear he ran and hid. Literally. But after two days factor producer Griff Jenkins caught up with --"
" Attention. Courtesy of Fox News story. The question why they ask you what you meant when you said. I would you call Linda Robertson and -- K street corner and you're gonna have to make an appointment an impressive return. Iliescu myself Larry apologists and destruction we now apologize to Vice President Cheney for seeing the blood drips from its teeth when he speaks. I think I just answered your question you have to make. You know world's most do. You're violating rules I remember the -- and -- question what won't you answer my questions what did you do you make an appointment. What do you need we said Fox News and some Republicans. I think -- enemy of America. You know what amusement appointments you know yes -- saluted juiciest question did -- do what I. What I suggested would you make it. -- we have this story here from other news coverage about you're calling Linda Robertson a kiss your core obsessive clarification story. I'm ask you to do what every other reputable news source those -- to make an appointment. What is your reaction to congressman we're sending pitcher one's life short and happy -- Listen I don't understand why don't understand something this simple everyone else makes a point when the questions. Why -- you do decide. So can -- megaphone and twenty tomorrow morning's Deutzman Press Secretary and we'll see if it's -- to a again we answered my question what -- Judy McCartney and her appointment if all the rules that everyone else folks. Except for fox. And what did you mean we call on Fox News into enemy of peace sir."
" T with no due respect Grayson is you know we've called this man. Ten times he's not gonna give you an appointment Jenkins is Griff Jenkins from Washington he's not gonna do that. He's just. I'm gonna call a guy named because -- his level but it's just outrageous it is an outrage that this guy. That will. Refuse to answer questions that are absolutely -- and and I applaud you for keeping. You cool and asking questions in the face of that filibuster. Now. We try to get this guy you out really hard time tracking him down right."
" That's exactly right bill by the way we're still waiting to get slotted in with mild climate yeah I tried everything. From phone calls to emails -- to in the old fashioned diplomacy just a short in his office and say hey listen. This story's changed. Press Secretary has put out to different statements of apology first trying to spend -- In you know -- where maybe going to just say it would just come in force he wouldn't. But we've gone to hearing earlier bill it says final financial services committee hearing they're voting -- important pieces of legislation to protect investors surely he would show there. He snuck in at the last moment to vote. He had. House votes we tried out near the capital he snuck around there we couldn't get and he clearly. Has decided he didn't wanna be out talking about this in the story changes are cynical times -- we -- big questions that the -- Packard in so we staked out of his office and said. Listen we're gonna stay here until it comes out gives comment. You're absolutely no rules violate whatsoever and that's important point to make the hallways -- public. At one point congressman -- actually called the capital. Police to his office they checked with us and said you guys are okay you your -- may not do anything wrong new tripod here we're gonna talk to congressman. You can't hear audibly just standing in the hallways bill. The congressman. In any shot -- level. Why won't these people leave. Lucky to make him go away in the police officer a woman saying sir they have a right to be there the hallways -- public in the only way I can make believe is that the building closes. And did police officer came out and said you know this is 730 at night as for the majority today hoping to have a chance to run into a base hit by -- white guy. You see you see interviews with the congressman and senators and all -- all day is how it's done."
" That's how it's -- or you're absolutely with the rights but I'm happy you kept them there are seven very busy is because on the 334. -- his office hoping you get tired. You waited him out. The nation sees what kind of guy is but what he's welcome -- we've abided by the time. But he doesn't want to be held accountable for his actions. Regain his everybody thank you do."
