[0:02] Still with your guest?
[0:03] That's right, yes, but we've made very good progress.
[0:07] Right, right.
[0:08] Anything with regard to San Clemente yet?
[0:11] No, he hasn't had an answer on that issue yet.

[0:34] There's no problem.
[0:35] Demonstration's even better than the White House.
[0:38] The basic problem, as I understand it, is the security problem.

[1:16] It's your life.
[1:17] It's your life.
[1:18] All of it is a security problem.
[1:22] If we have to feel this one, we'll let that out.
[1:25] Well, we will have an answer on that tomorrow, Mr. President.
[1:29] You leave at 10.30.
[1:30] Give you my best.
[1:31] I will do that, but everything else is in good shape.
[1:35] Good.
[1:36] Right, Mr. President.
