[0:01] Yeah.
[0:01] Patricia is calling you, sir.
[0:02] Yeah.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:05] Daddy?
[0:06] Hi, honey.
[0:07] Patricia, hi.
[0:08] Hi.
[0:08] We went over to the reception.
[0:11] Oh, yeah.
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:13] And we heard all the great reports about your talk.
[0:15] Oh, great.
[0:15] The returnees.
[0:17] And they said that you got four standing ovations.
[0:20] Well, that was very good.
[0:21] It really was.
[0:21] And they all love you.
[0:22] All the wives were around saying that.
[0:25] Everybody who came through the line said that.
[0:27] Wow, that's great.
[0:28] So it was just great.
[0:30] And the press was there.
[0:31] And it was such a riot that if you ever heard the shouting Baptist...
[0:36] The minister will get up and say something, and then the congregation will say, yeah, that's right, and all that, and right on and all.
[0:42] Well, they were asking me about different things, so I was just saying something about some of the great things you've done and all.
[0:48] And all the POWs will rise around it and say, that's right, he's the greatest president our country's ever had, and things like that.
[0:54] So they're really great people.
[0:56] Aren't they great, though?
[0:57] Yeah, they really are.
[0:58] Well, it's a great day.
[0:59] It'll be.
[1:00] You know, honey, the press will not report much of this.
[1:04] Oh, I know that.
[1:05] give a goddamn, because it'll get her out in the country eventually.
[1:08] The word gets out.
[1:10] And that's fine.
[1:11] But anyway, it's really nice to know that.
[1:13] It's good to have such a great day.
[1:14] Yes, it is.
[1:14] It really is.
[1:15] That's right.
[1:17] That's nice of you to call.
[1:18] What time are you, we're going to the dinner, are you?
[1:20] Yeah, we're all going to the dinner.
[1:21] We're going to go down about 10 of 8 and mingle for a while, and then you all will come down later.
[1:25] Right.
[1:25] Right.
[1:26] So we basically met all the wives.
[1:29] Right.
[1:29] So then we'll meet some other people tonight.
[1:31] All right, sweetie.
[1:32] We'll see you tonight, Daddy.
[1:33] Thank you, sweetie.
[1:34] Thanks for calling.
