Well, I want you to know that in reading my Fourth of July material over the weekend, I discovered that you were one of the very few people in the Congress that was born on that day, and I just want to congratulate you.
Of course.
No, I'm in my office.
I'm working.
I'm going to Kansas City.
But I wanted you to know that I saw that the blow dryer was 4th of July big.
And, you know, that, well, you know, Julie was born on the 5th.
And we just talked to her in Athens this morning.
So she just missed the fourth one about an hour or two.
So we... Well, I just wasn't going to die.
Elizabeth?
Thank you, Brian.
Great.
Ah, that's very good.
Very good.
Well, I am so glad and it's good that so many of you have come out.
Right, well, I just, yeah.
Well, I just, I remember that time I came to Elizabeth so many years ago and we, remember we went out and we got all the plants and we got a lot of things sent?
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Right.
Well, I'm going to California tomorrow.
I'm leaving.
I go to Kansas City first for a Midwest media briefing, and I'm leaving California for about 10 days.
We're about to go.
We'll open a shipyard in two other weeks.
Well, listen, I appreciate that.
I appreciate it.
You're a real fighter.
That's right.
And I appreciate it.
And I'm so glad to talk to you, but he just... Well, the White House operator never makes any mistakes.
That's wonderful.
Right.
Right.
What I can tell you is that it's going to come out all right.
You just watch.
We're doing a lot of things that are going to help.
I know that's great.
No, no, no, no, no.
We need you now.

And you get everybody out there my best.
We'll get you.
Okay.
I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
Bye.
