They could never find that original thread that they were on. I missed all the rest of the story or I missed a substantial chunk of what was going on for them. I kicked myself. “You fool. Shut up. Just shut up and listen.”’ Clearly, that is the type of interview James Scott wishes he’d had with 60 Minutes.
