[0:04] All set on it?
[0:15] Yes, sir.
[0:18] All right.
[0:19] Mr. President, I'll be able to forward it to the editor.
[0:20] But if you want to get it to the editor, we can still leave it to you.
[0:23] We're in your office if you want to get it to the editor.
[0:24] Good.
[0:25] There we are.
[0:25] Mr. President, I'll be able to forward it to you.
[0:28] Okay, we're done.
[0:39] We're looking at each other.
[0:39] He watches us, so we look out on him.
[0:40] This is John Carroll.
[0:41] This is Mr. Marlowe.
[0:41] I heard we had a problem with this drive.
[0:42] We're going to have to deal with it.
[0:44] And my house is the Secretary's apartment in Antwerp, New Jersey.
[1:07] Right.
[1:07] You've got a lot of work there.
[1:08] That's right.
[1:08] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:08] This is Peyton Walker.
[1:09] This is Charles Walker .
[1:09] Oh, yeah.
[1:09] You've got Charles there.
[1:10] Oh, yeah.
[1:10] And this is Dan Reed.
[1:11] I'm the Secretary of Interior for the Fish and Wildlife Department.
[1:12] What's your area?
[1:12] What's your area?
[1:13] Antwerp, Antwerp, Antwerp, Antwerp.
[1:13] Oh, yeah.
[1:14] You didn't track all that, but you went out with Andrew?
[1:29] Yes, sir.
[1:30] I just got back in.
[1:31] Yeah?
[1:31] Is he got a good setup out there?
[1:35] Looks like it's a wonderful setup.
[1:36] Yeah.
[1:36] It's going to be a big switch.
[1:37] It's going to be an animal park.
[1:38] We can't blow Bessie's park in the boat.
[1:39] I think that pup is really trying to get us to get out of Washington.
[1:40] Great idea.
[1:41] Well, I want you to know that, uh, you know what comedies we've got out here, first, and some of them you can pick up inside.
[1:43] Oh, Mark.
[1:44] but I'm keenly aware of the fact that they can do the job without kind of supporting it down the line.
[2:09] And you have to say the same thing for people that work for you.
[2:10] I think perhaps the most that are helping the government is for people to come to Washington.
[2:13] the other side of the administration.
[2:40] of the assistant secretary to the people at the highest levels who are not just basically terrible bureaucrats who have made a career, who have come in and sacrificed to do the job.
[2:58] So I want you to appreciate John for doing a good job.
[2:59] Don't get any credit until I apologize.
[3:01] Well, we're going to get to these people over there over time.
[3:26] There's nothing else to talk about.
[3:27] Well, let's get those, and those, and...
[3:28] Thank you, sir.
[3:28] Thank you very much.
[3:29] Have you got something for their wives, too?
[3:29] Have you got something for your wife?
[3:30] Have you got something for your wife?
[3:31] Thank you very much.
[3:45] Thanks a lot.
