Right off, we got the big job up here.
200th anniversary.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, I'm going to go ahead and start the program.
I'm dedicating the Vice-Chancellor of the County of San Francisco, Mr. Nixon, and the Director of the Senate, and one of the county members, Mr. Stein.
Mr. Stein is from Philadelphia, 1771.
And this is the impression that we made when we had Mr. Nixon signing the Code of Elections and Senators.
Roll six, you have to be settled.
So great advice, you can't go for seven, seven, seven, seven.
You know, we've been staring at you for eight, nine, ten years.
What about that?
Mr. President, are you going to be wearing a green world?
I better find something.
I think the Prime Minister is going to present to you with something for our committee.
Thank you, Mr. President.
That's where I see it.
I'm not ready for that.
I'm not ready for that.
I'm not ready for that.
I'm not ready for that.
I'm not ready for that.
He was a wonderful man.
You know him.
He was the chairman of our...
I remember seeing him so often in California.
He was a nice man.
He was a nice man.
He was a nice man.
He was a nice man.
He was a nice man.
He was a nice man.
Thank you for using it.
I think you want to have a customer.
Let me see a little.
Let me see a little.
Oh, he did?
Well, he gets it.
I'm supposed to be here in a couple hours, too.
I've got to mark it off.
Until you win this group tournament.
I don't think we get any more.
Thank you.
We're going to have to deal with the other teachers since I'm having the last few years.
I should have been running and being radioed in my bed.
Well, I guess that would present some laws.
This is amazing.
I'm having to cross here.
Jesus, we hate you.
when I think she coached you to have a center again.
Well, they did a center.
She was trying to get you out of it.
It wasn't.
It wasn't.
That's correct.
Yeah, right.
I remember now.
She was waiting for us.
I saw your program on today.
I said, God, there's something I can't do twice in the morning.
That's all she said.
At least I could be back.
It was the other person.
I mean, that's that reason.
Good, that was a nice recording of the president of the Harvard University.
All right, you see, I just said my history, I thought you ought to bring it in.
I've got a little gift for you.
Oh, thank you very much.
That's good.
Oh, thank you so much.
Let me get something for their watch.
Tomorrow night, I have to go tomorrow, too, and come down to the bus in Kentucky with the guns, burial, and lying down there.
And then tomorrow night, I'll be right back.
and be sure you have some Irish for the Prime Minister.
Because you know they have two competing brands, his brother's a planet, his father's a cat, I don't know.
But if you hear the other one there too, you know it's just a mix.
I mean, you know what I mean.
Thank you very much.
