[0:01] Hello.
[0:02] Hello.
[0:04] Yes, sir.
[0:05] Well, it looks like the country's kind of America first, isn't it?
[0:08] That's right.
[0:10] Economic nationalism came off very well.
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:13] Yeah.
[0:13] That's the way they are.
[0:14] Yeah.
[0:15] And they want the people to go to work.
[0:17] That's right.
[0:17] Yeah.
[0:18] That's right.
[0:19] Well, economics is a hell of a dull thing to speak about, but they responded rather well, I thought.
[0:23] Very much so.
[0:24] The delivery was different and very effective.
[0:26] I've only heard good things about it.
[0:28] Yeah.
[0:28] You know, it was faster.
[0:30] Pastor, very strong, you know.
[0:33] And you moved through it very well.
[0:36] Well, we got the monkey in the Congress's back now.
[0:40] He puts a goddamn much.
[0:41] They'll never get through it.
[0:42] Right.
[0:43] And people can... We hope they don't get through some of it, actually.
[0:47] But at least it's well to put it right over there.
[0:49] Right.
[0:50] It was a good reception, though, coming in.
[0:52] I was surprised at the length of it.
[0:54] You know, at least it sounded that way on television, the length and the enthusiasm of it.
[0:58] Well...
[0:59] They built that up a little, but it was okay.
[1:02] Okay, Pat.
[1:03] Yes, sir.
