Good to see you.
How last treat you today?
Well, so it's been pretty touch and go situation.
Linda and I have had quite a few
unpleasant words here lately.
Over the deal with that, he hired Mike Wallace to
assassinate the president.
It's been hectic in every way,
but uh, we've lived through this far
and I guess we'll continue to do so.
Uh, Linden should have never issued that order, uh,
to Mike, but we've had our differences
and I'm the true blue.
The Linden is. I've always been
and tried to carry out every order that he'd ever given me,
but this is one I'll probably never be able to forget.
And the times that we've had in, in Texas
and the embarrassment that London
had gotten from Kennedy,
I guess there wasn't anything else to do.
But, but what he did, Well, you know, Lindon
that have really helped me, if he would, well,
Linden's the kind of person that doesn't want help anyone.
He's, you know, he's all for Linden.
And that's the way it's pretty much always been.
Well, they had me backed up on that Henry Marshall killing,
and they just kind of blackmailed me to keep my mouth shut
if I hadn't had a bunch of tapes that I'd played
after I got killed, because, you know, 17 got killed
in this situation very mysteriously.
And I've done a lot of time and I've lost a lot of money
and hurt my family a whole lot.
And it's, uh, really got me just disgusted to
lend in one way.
And one way I feel real sorry for him,
but I really feel like that in Linden's heart, he felt like
that he was doing the right thing.
He felt like that he was the savior, the common man.
I feel like that in his heart he wanted to help people
that have not,
but I don't believe
that anything my church background would've never let me,
uh, sanction all the killings that he has done.
What do you think about it
though, Cliff?
Do you really believe that it could have been handled anyway
without killing all these people?
He got rid of the candidates?
You think he won the election against him?
Well, I don't really believe so.
You know, he tried desperately to, to do just that,
and there didn't seem to be any other way.
He, I know that he regrets a lot of things he's,
that he has done,
but still it's been a,
a battle from day one.
Well, Dale, I sure do appreciate all the things
that you've done for, for us, and I appreciate trust.
Yeah, we, any time for a long time friend,
and, uh, I'm just sorry that I've embarrassed all my friends
and put all my friends through this.
Oh, you didn't embarrass me.
And what I was really afraid of my brother Bob
that got killed, our plane was
down at Brian the day that, uh, Mike Wallace killed,
uh, Henry Marshall.
And I was afraid it was going to tie him into the thing,
and we couldn't afford to.
In fact, Pam started to write a book
and when she, she really got scared when she got into thing,
it was just, uh, It was just too scary a deal.
But anyhow, this, uh, this two will pass,
but it's been a long, long old journey.
What do you think about, uh, Bankston?
Well, WO is a great leader
and he's been probably one of the best things
that ever happened in Dallas, Texas.
Of course, he's got a lot of, a lot of real good friends
and, and London's been one of his true buddies
for many, many years.
And anything that you just have to have that you see, that,
you know, it's done well.
I just can't believe that the O Bankston has the tire over
the, the police department that he has, you know,
he buys every year the sheriff
buys him a brand new car, bill Ecker,
and I just don't see how politically that, uh, he can get
with it, but nobody will ever understand in really,
in the early years, I thought that, uh,
Lendon really had a mission from a higher power
who I accused to call God to carry out a lot of things
for the common people.
And I really believe in his heart that he thought
that he was destined to, uh, rule people.
How do you size up, uh, Linda Cliff
after all these years apart?
Well, actually Lyndon's, uh, just been kind
of going downhill health wise and politically wise.
He's just, uh, wore out
and, uh, I feel like he's come to his individual role.
But, uh, all these things that's been eaten on him
for all these years have just now taken his course.
And I feel like, like Glen's done a lot
of good things his life and he's done a lot of bad things.
Well, cliff, I hate to see you sit down, tried and,
and so discouraged
and I just hope that you can get ahold of yourself
and not be so toret.
But anyhow, let's go in the house
and let's have a cup of coffee and something to eat.
Okay, sounds good to.
