[0:00] Mr. President, I have Congressman Philip Crane now.
[0:04] Yeah.
[0:04] All right.
[0:05] Hello.
[0:06] The President's on the line, Congressman.
[0:07] Oh, thank you.
[0:08] I thought you were less than 40, but Bill Timmons told me you had a birthday today and you're 41.
[0:12] I just want to congratulate you.
[0:14] Well, thank you so much.
[0:15] My oldest daughter, who's 11, reminded me this morning that I'm only nine years away from 50.
[0:20] Yeah.
[0:21] Well, listen, don't worry.
[0:23] But you can also tell all those wonderful kids of yours that...
[0:27] that you have a man down here in the White House that watches these young fellows and that we're glad you're down there.
[0:34] Well, I'm very grateful for those words, Mr. President.
[0:36] And get out of that house, unless they need your vote, and get out of that house and get home tonight, okay?
[0:40] I'm looking forward to it.
[0:41] My wife and I plan to have dinner together.
[0:43] You tell them I ordered it.
[0:44] I will do that.
[0:45] All right.
[0:46] And thank you so very much.
[0:47] Fine, Phil.
[0:48] Nice talking to you.
[0:49] Good to talk to you.
[0:50] Right on.
[0:50] Thank you.
[0:51] Bye now.
