[0:08] I just called to wish you the very best on Tuesday.
[0:12] I urge you to work right up to the last time and to say that I'm sorry I can't get to Idaho.
[0:18] But when you go around these next two days, would you express my appreciation for the support Idaho people have given me in the past years?
[0:26] And also tell them that I told you that we need you in that Senate.
[0:31] We need our Republicans who are running for the House and the Senate in the House.

[1:29] Great.
[1:29] We'll pull them all together and win, okay?
[1:32] We're planning to do that.
[1:33] All right, and we'll see you in January.
[1:35] All right, thank you, Mr. President.
