[0:00] Mr. President, may I present Commander Craig Campbell, sir, who will be relieving our commander-in-chief.
[0:16] Commander, nice to see you.
[0:25] Well, Chuck, we're sorry to see you late, but I understand you're not going back to Tulsa.
[0:27] Yes, sir.
[0:27] It's a submarine, sir.
[0:28] Come on, let's get a formal picture here.
[0:29] Let's get one of the three of us first.
[0:30] But that's what I was thinking.
[0:47] Now I'll get one because I've been charging myself along.
[0:49] Right.
[0:50] Where will you be located?
[0:50] In San Diego.
[0:50] That's too bad.
[0:51] Isn't that too bad?
[0:51] Right near San Clemente.
[0:52] Well, there is.
[0:52] We'll just have to come up on the third piece of that.
[0:53] We've got to be at home for it.
[0:54] So that's what I'm thinking.
[0:55] But your family will be there?
[1:03] And how long will you be a senator?
[1:08] If you think about a year, I was executive officer three years ago, and I'll do this again as a refresher.
[1:11] I should get my own command in about a year or so.
[1:12] We'll be on the ground that day.
[1:13] We'll be commanding the Senate?
[1:13] Yes, sir.
[1:13] President, so what do you know?
[1:15] I don't believe that.
[1:37] Hughes had never gone to something like that.
[1:37] It's hard to get him in the air anymore.
[1:38] Do you know, as you will learn to read, that we give conflicts, normal conflicts,
[1:43] We got something new though, you got one of these.
[2:10] He said, there's a present that you put that on here, you know.
[2:20] It'll probably float around.
[2:24] You still playing golf?
[2:25] Uh, I haven't had time to play golf, but that's what you understand.
[2:28] How you doing?
[2:30] Hey, Bob.
[2:30] We hope you enjoyed seeing you around.
[2:32] All right.
[2:32] Glad to have you aboard.
[2:33] All right.
[2:33] You have to turn all the moves.
[2:34] I got your number there.
