[0:07] Hello?
[0:08] Mr. President?
[0:09] I just want to thank you for that great job, Frank.

[0:15] Mr. President, it was a tremendous victory.
[0:17] I'll tell you.
[0:18] I'm so proud.
[0:20] We're sure glad to have, you know, just to think, Frank, to carry Pennsylvania by that kind of a margin.

[1:17] The way he talked?
[1:18] Yes, sir.
[1:18] And I told the... Yeah.
[1:20] I went on the air and told him that.
[1:22] He didn't ask for, you know, no unity.
[1:24] Nothing.
[1:24] I know.
[1:25] He was...
[1:26] Unity on his terms.
[1:27] Yes, sir.

[1:35] Bye-bye.
[1:35] Bye.
