[0:00] Hey, Arm.
[0:02] Yeah.
[0:03] Mr. Boxer.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:04] Mr. President.
[0:05] Well, when you've only got two days left, Kale, I just want you to know that while I can't get there in person, that my thoughts are with you.
[0:13] You've been a tower of strength in that United States Senate, and in these next four years, we need you here.
[0:19] And I just wanted you to know that...
[0:21] I hope the voters of Delaware will not break up the team of Mobs and Nixon.
[0:25] It's been a good one for over the years.
[0:27] We want to keep it going for four more years.
[0:29] Thank you, Mr. President, and we're looking forward to continuing to work with you on the goals for America.
[0:34] You've been doing a great job, and the people in our state are appreciative of your interest.
[0:40] You've taken in Delaware and what you're doing for the nation.
[0:44] It's just a privilege to work with you.
[0:47] I'm campaigning in Newcastle today, historic Newcastle.
[0:50] You give them all my best there.
[0:52] I give them your best.
[0:53] And tell them I have such good memories of my visits, vacations in Delaware and Rehoboth and the rest.
[1:00] So many good friends, my many appearances in Wilmington.
[1:04] We've always been honored to have you.
[1:06] We want you many more times in the future.
[1:09] Yeah, well, I'll come back when, let me say, I'll come back at a time, Cale, when I'm not asking for votes, but just to say thank you very much.
[1:20] Thank you.
[1:20] Listen, Congressman Pete DuPont is here.
[1:22] Sure, let me say hello to him.
[1:24] Would you say a word to him, Mr. DuPont?
[1:25] Sure.
[1:26] Here he is right here.
[1:28] Good morning, Mr. President.
[1:29] I understand you're doing very well in that state, and I just hope that you and, as I told Kale, that you and Kale come through with flying colors, because we're going to look forward to working with you
[1:40] over these next four years.
[1:42] Well, I appreciate that.
[1:43] And, of course, with the governor, too.
[1:45] We're going to carry Delaware by a tremendous landslide.
[1:48] Well, we want it for all of us, including our senator, congressman, governor, the whole ticket.
[1:54] Well, we're working at it, and we certainly appreciate all the help you've given us along the way, and very best of luck in the last couple of days in your campaign.
[2:01] I'll be over in North Carolina in a few minutes, or a couple hours, and then over to New Mexico and then in California.
[2:07] So it's a light day.
[2:10] Sir, well, keep at it, and we'll look forward to a big celebration.
[2:14] Great.
[2:15] Great.
[2:15] Thank you, Pete.
[2:16] Yes, sir.
[2:16] Thank you.
