[0:00] No, just say what's the matter with this machine?
[0:27] No.
[0:31] You don't have anything loyal to you?
[1:11] This is from the President of Mexico, Mr. President.
[1:33] I wish to express my grateful appreciation to you for the courtesy you have shed this week, not to disappear on this visit, but on a whole new life.
[1:36] As I said, it's a very, very heavy burden on me these past three years.
[1:38] This is the first real vacation I've had in my life.
[1:39] I need all the money in eternity to not appear any better place to go.
[1:47] as well as the, as well as from the standpoint of the personal hospitality that was extended to the end.
[2:11] I was particularly glad that we had the opportunity to meet with the governor that I've been talking to in Mexico City.
[2:13] He gave me a full report, and there are very prospective suggestions about our policies
[2:19] It was most helpful with the discussions we had in the White House on Latin American problems.
[2:47] And Mr. Nixon and I are looking forward to welcoming you to this area.
[2:49] to the United States on June 15th instead of Washington, D.C. We've been working on a new year's schedule.
[3:14] We'd like to invite everybody to vote, as well as the members of the Republican Party.
[3:15] We expect a day or two of this at Camp David.
[3:16] We're hoping to take to a good day at that time.
[3:18] However,
[3:48] I have heard of the problem in this organization, and I was on Thursday night when they signed the dinner and all the things that they were saying.
[4:12] And Stouffer and Ben, as I requested, had a deep emotional impact on everybody who's privileged to be an American president.
[4:17] We have been in the White House on every case since I was a kid.
[4:40] It was one of the highlights.
[4:41] It was one of the moments that I would always remember very clearly.
[4:42] I wish you the best.
[4:42] My congratulations and personal appreciation to the members of the group.
[4:46] They're superb for once, not only in this occasion, but every time.
[5:10] We have, uh... Jason put on others as well.
[5:11] That's it.
[5:11] Boom.
[5:13] to Dr. Norman, that she paid all her honor.
[5:35] I have to have my recollection of the conversation I had with Sam's mother, after a lot of effort introduced him into the former Prime Minister of England, who was the senior member of the King's official party.
[5:41] and also a member of the Bermuda family.
[6:06] One year, he had served the king's grandfather, his father, and other kings.
[6:07] One day, he had told him that he was very worried about the fact that the king was a very young man.
[6:10] had to survive this almost incredible crisis when those herders thought it was impossible for him to do so.
[6:38] When he was 17 years of age,
[6:41] His father was unable to control him because of mental illness.
[7:10] He was 17 for 20 years.
[7:11] and how I was murdered.
[7:37] I took the name of the man who sat at my left and stayed there.
[7:39] I thought it was, uh, Blank, so I asked Mr. Blank if I wanted to achieve this revival of truth for you.
[7:43] All he wants.
[8:07] Both.
[8:07] His late parents.
[8:08] And his shirt.
[8:08] It's funny because I've never seen him in his temper.
[8:09] He's always silly.
[8:09] And it always comes.
[8:10] He smiles.
[8:10] All of those around him.
[8:14] I then asked him if he liked this unethical kind of character.
[8:41] He replied, quote, to his mother.
[8:42] His mother is one of the most remarkable women.
[8:43] Not as a personal one.
[8:45] and part of this great, great river token.
[9:13] I know that I could well, that I could well understand.
[9:14] There's, as I said,
[9:17] A father is important.
[9:42] And a good father is important.
[9:43] But a good father is indispensable.
[9:44] Close quote.
[9:44] Very good.
[9:44] It was at the conclusion of this conversation that I put my place card, which reads simply, Mr. President,
[9:49] According to this good character, a father is important.
[10:11] A good father is important, but a good mother is indispensable.
[10:12] Close quote.
[10:12] He was a very good mother's day son.
[10:17] Why does he serve one of his words to the government?
[10:19] And that's how I met him.
[10:43] Very nice of you to do it for me.
[10:43] Thank you.
[10:44] On the dinner group campers night, one of the guests was Bob Amherst.
[10:45] Amherst, you know, we call these women assistants, and I don't call us.
[10:47] He reminded me of an incident that I had forgotten.
[10:48] Back in 1954 or 5,
[10:51] He was under, you know, a very severe attack on a building carpet, because he'd created violent dollars, and we don't hear his defense mind.
[11:17] He tells us that he was at his mother's funeral, and he told us that he was coming to his house.
[11:19] Alan spoke to me about it personally.
[11:19] He told me that he was at his mother's funeral,
[11:21] And uh, that's the uh,
[11:52] I went up to the state of the country, told them about my case, and because of my personal intervention, they laid off me from the investigation.
[12:19] But it was very apparent.
[12:19] I never gave them any credit for this.
[12:22] I remember she was living with me because she said, you know, there was no one in my house.
[12:48] And I was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
[12:52] The story is that in 1968, George Baldwin, when he was 50, said to everyone in New York, he said, I'm going to give you a letter.
[13:16] And he wrote a letter to the New York Times.
[13:17] They were straight together.
[13:18] He read it after cutting most of the law before he first was done.
[13:19] And he covered the system.
[13:20] Great character.
[13:20] The purpose of this memorandum
[13:22] It is true that I don't need anybody.
[13:48] David, he seems to have been proud of you, for his personal reason, is in our department.
[13:49] I, frankly, have not seen him before, but he cares.
[13:50] I have not seen him before, but he cares.
[13:51] He's trying to find somebody to serve him on the way.
[13:54] I'm going to go over other boards that are related to this network in particular.
[14:18] I'm going to go over this network.
[14:18] I'm going to go over this network.
[14:19] I'm going to go over this network.
[14:20] I'm going to go over this network.
[14:24] Hi.
[14:27] Ah, good morning.
