[0:04] Oh, I've got one.
[0:32] All right.
[0:32] Come on.
[0:32] Here, Senator.
[0:34] Did you try him?
[0:45] I don't know about that.
[0:54] Send him out to Steve McCartney.
[0:57] I need to say this better than anything I've ever done.
[0:59] Yeah?
[0:59] I need to get back out to my part of the house.
[1:00] Yeah, we need it.
[1:13] Here it's here.
[1:29] You'll think of some people that are in the house.
[1:38] Ask the treasurer.
[1:42] He said, I have tenants in a very good level.
[1:43] There might be somebody down here that's a good friend.
[1:46] Some more scotch.
[1:47] You got it.
[1:47] You got it in six boxes.
[1:48] So you can get them all the way.
[1:48] You can meet them at the police station.
[1:49] Sheriff's.
[1:49] God, I hate Lawrence.
[1:50] They were all delighted with that press conference.
[1:53] They really are.
[2:01] They really are.
[2:04] And you handled that just beautifully.
[2:06] Well, these are demonstrators.
[2:15] These people are so sick.
[2:19] These people brought up
[2:21] Oh, and these, perhaps, say they've got permits for the ellipse on the day of the wedding and all that business.
[2:35] It's just sickening.
[2:40] They're going to have a rockin' old thing.
[2:41] They're going to get the radio time thing.
[2:43] If they move it out front, we'll go out there.
[2:45] And if they go underground, we'll burrow in underground.
[2:51] And we're going to put some Geritol Electro or something in the punch.
[3:02] If you want to know what that is, that's LSD.
[3:09] I just put that in the ring myself.
[3:10] I mean, it can sit there and leave my dumb kids like that on the air.
[3:13] Which group is it?
[3:13] It's the same one?
[3:14] No, some of them.
[3:14] No, it's a different group.
[3:15] One thing they've got to do, they're going to cut off the air sound system.
[3:20] I'm sure you've heard of it.
[3:23] I don't think you'd be able to hear it anyway.
[3:43] You can't.
[3:44] You can't hear it.
[3:44] You can't hear it.
[3:45] I mean, I don't mind when it's inside.
[3:46] But if that's always going on, I'm sure it's going to have that effect.
[3:48] I don't know.
[3:54] Mrs. Mossbeck has sent a letter telling about the work they've done on the Blair House Fine Arts Committee and so forth.
[4:07] And they have a, they want, she wants to, without making any announcements, make this big new reception hall where most events will be held now.
[4:17] She wants that to be a living tribute to you and Mrs. Nixon.
[4:23] Well, see what they're doing is that place called Lafayette Square is joined now to Blair House, so that the house itself will be used as a house, and the big reception room is where they'll have most of the receptions.
[4:39] Well, is there something that is?
[4:40] Yeah, they've joined those together, you know, there's a...
[4:43] And she's listed who all went and cured them and so forth.
[4:52] And I think, I don't know if you think it's a great idea, of course nothing can be said about it now.
[5:00] What they should do is make a piece and try it.
[5:05] Well, because the others have been served.
[5:05] They either are a president or... And I don't know if you're interested in seeing who all gave their name to Greece, purchasing of that player house.
[5:14] I don't look this way, except I have an infection in my eyes.
[5:22] Now, Walter Beinecke has given $100,000 as a gift to the Nantucket Historical Trust, so that's what they're going to start with.
[5:47] I agree.
[5:53] I don't think that you have to do that.
[6:06] Oh, I don't mind.
[6:07] I don't know what happened, but I'm going to have fun.
[6:09] I'll be from 3.30 to 4.30.
[6:12] 4.00.
[6:12] So you've got music playing here, you know.
[6:15] So if that was where I'm at, most of it.
[6:18] They really blast, you know, I heard my character in the air.
[6:38] They look so damn bad.
[6:44] That's all I'm doing.
[7:09] Come on with this stuff.
[7:25] They're evil.
[7:29] Yeah, they look evil.
[7:32] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[7:33] Well, I think everything is... One more question on Julie.
[7:35] She even asked whether, because there was any comment about David staying at the embassy in Athens,
[7:38] Because he didn't serve?
[7:54] I don't know.
[7:58] No, sir.
[7:59] Are you?
[7:59] No, I think it'd be more free.
[7:59] I think the events of it will be bombarded.
[8:02] They don't want that.
[8:02] But I think... That's not how he's got the President's daughter to stay there.
[8:04] That's what I thought.
[8:04] That's what I think we did.
[8:05] And I think I believe that there are a lot of those.
[8:16] Thank you.
[8:20] Good for your eyes.
