[ countryrock music plays ] im jamie colby, and today im driving outside tacoma, washington, on my way to meet the heirs of a man who started with nothing, built an empire, left his heirs enormous wealth, but also an overwhelming task. Im doug lemay. My father, harold lemay, passed away in 2000 at the age of 81 and left us with a worldrecord collection that has become a fulltime job. Doug has invited me to the family house, where his father lived for more than two decades and where he now lives and works. Hey, doug. Hi, jamie. Glad you could come.

Start thinking about it. This was just an exciting time. Im having a lot of fun. I have to tell you that ted, i was watching him and congratulations in the two states, ted. But he was saying that donald trump has a ceiling of 35 to 40 . Well, cnn just came out with a poll two days ago that said i have 49 compared to his 15 . So i guess its not 40. I mean, i have a 49 number. Some of the polls are showing over 50 and i dont even think theyre accurate. Ive won many polls, as you know, against Hillary Clinton directly.
