[0:00] President Jefferson, Jack Edwards.
[0:18] Well, Jack, all right.
[0:19] You'd better come in.
[0:19] Remind me, my head is in the mobile office.
[0:20] Good night.
[0:20] Good night.
[0:20] Good night.
[0:21] Good night.
[0:21] Good night.
[0:21] Good night.
[0:21] Good night.
[0:22] Good night.
[0:30] This is George.
[0:46] I think we just opened this up.
[0:51] Oh, yeah, but I sit somewhere else.
[0:52] Put that back together.
[0:53] This is a great picture.
[0:53] Where are you?
[0:53] We've got one of you in here.
[0:54] Well, I'm in there.
[0:54] Yeah, I was just somewhere.
[0:55] By the way, Joe got a picture of me.
[0:56] He was proud of me.
[0:56] I mean, you know, he had one.
[0:57] I can't find one anymore.
[0:57] Well, look at what happened to yourself.
[0:58] That's the worst.
[0:58] Yeah.
[0:59] These bears are so good, they're not targeting us.
[1:16] Here you are.
[1:17] Yeah.
[1:17] Anyway.
[1:17] The best one is the changes of Congress.
[1:18] And what they want to do is strike them down here and strike them in.
[1:19] Don't tell them.
[1:19] Good.
[1:20] Send them to the Senate.
[1:20] They don't know what's going on there.
[1:21] Yeah.
[1:28] Ha, ha.
[1:28] But what they needed, I guess, is your approval.
[1:29] If you can tell me, it's all right to do it.
[1:30] And then somewhere along the way, she was the first to do it.
[1:32] Do you want it?
[1:56] Do you want it?
[1:57] I don't approve it.
[1:57] You approve it.
[1:57] Now, do you want another picture?
[1:58] The two of us.
[1:58] This, this I will keep.
[1:59] Do you want me to keep this?
[1:59] Now, let's shoot a picture of the two of us together.
[2:00] Now, let's get you the best picture.
[2:02] We're
[2:28] We're playing a big game now, you know.
[2:48] We've got to have 800 people.
[2:48] We've got to open it up, Tom.
[2:49] It took me two years to see.
[2:49] I don't mean that we're not going to do it.
[2:50] Oh, thank you.
[2:51] We know that.
[2:51] It's going to be a long time.
[2:51] It's probably going to be insane.
[2:52] This is a reaction back home.
[2:53] Great.
[2:53] So we're proud of you.
[2:54] Well, let me see.
[3:08] You probably got another pair of headphones.
[3:09] Well, good.
[3:09] I'm going to have a diner down on Friday in the revenue chair, and then have a great visit to the governor of Georgia.
[3:12] She'd appreciate that.
[3:12] Uh-huh.
[3:12] Uh, she'd appreciate that.
[3:13] Uh, listen, your wife has lunch.
[3:14] I think.
[3:14] I don't think she does.
[3:14] Well, I hope she does.
[3:17] He said, right.
[3:34] How did you get off?
[3:52] You were here going by?
[3:52] Yeah.
[3:52] And what's George up to at the present time?
[3:53] He got in trouble.
[3:53] And I asked him to go to the background.
[3:54] He said he was supposed to go to Virginia.
[3:55] So he went down to something there.
[3:56] And the Senate attorney got an insult trying to cheat him to quit or something.
[3:57] He was walking off with all the money.
[3:58] They were a great deal in Dallas and Nashville and some of the other places in Georgia.
[4:00] We got in there.
[4:01] George made it.
[4:20] You did.
[4:20] He said, hey, baby, catch up with me.
[4:21] He said, if I say just a second, he had our school board, and we'd gone through the Supreme Court situation, and the school board worked out a good plan.
[4:24] The court accepted it.
[4:24] George came down and met with the school board.
[4:25] He said, I've got some guests to move over, so I've got to have an issue.
[4:27] I've got an issue with the school board, you know.
[4:28] He said, if you let Kelvin come to your school,
[4:29] And so they might still look under the court order we got to open for you if you take credit for it.
[4:51] I mean, it's different from the way you want it.
[4:52] He's not dead.
[4:52] You know it wasn't.
[4:52] Oh, yeah, yeah.
[4:53] Well, maybe the new one will work out.
[4:54] Now, those are plenty of stories.
[4:54] Very good.
[4:54] Right.
[4:55] Thank you, Mr. President.
[4:55] Senator Terrence.
[4:58] He's coming in on Thursday at 4.30.
[5:02] Got it.
