You ready?
Ready.
Just wait a second.
Just wait a second.
I want to put you on this stone here so you can get in a little bit.
Don't rush.
That's right.
Make sure you get in.
That's right.
Take your time.
Well, I want to honor this great ball.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Congratulations.
Joe, how are you?
Good to see you.
How are you?
Well, I'm glad to see you too.
Couldn't have a fine lawyer without a fine lawyer.
Uh-huh.
Mr. President, it's starting to look like there's going to be a death.
The Air Force Academy ran our job at the Academy just this year.
We're going to have to take out that.
You're an amputee too?
Yes, sir.
You're a truckman?
Truck.
Yes, sir.
400?
400 to 227.
Oh, all of them.
Not all of them.
Yeah.
Where did you find them?
That's in Missouri.
In Missouri, yeah.
All right.
All right.
They're still in shape.
They can probably grow up to about 46 more.
All of them.
I thought you were going to do this.
Yeah.
I'm watching it.
I'm watching it.
I'm watching it.
I'm watching it.
Oh, yeah, there it is.
I see it over there.
You're located in Washington.
Well, no, we're in the campus.
All right.
All right.
All right.
You know, it was the Chargers' one yesterday.
East Minnesota?
Yeah, you know all about it.
I was so amazed to hear that.
This is the first time you've ever done that to me.
All right.
You've been a friend of the Chargers?
Yes, sir, I have.
And 440.
442.
So we are.
440 are very strong.
We're going to have to press the press button.
Huh?
It's an honor for us, sir.
It was not as life-impressing as I feel very much, and this is the case.
I can't agree with you at the moment, but I hope you believe in that, and you can continue to do so.
Thank you very much.
The story of one of my old co-studies is that I met with one guy who wanted to talk about it, but I can just say that he hadn't had anything to do with it in his life.
No one had more courage than to prove that we had a hand staff that had overcome this kind of danger.
I don't care at all.
What he does by his hand is to take off.
That's not at the sound of the gun, but we see the other bullet.
You need to be a great defensive lineman.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Well, he played, uh, yeah, well, he was out last year, all right.
He was out last year.
Yeah, but, uh, he didn't have it.
Actually, I believe it was, uh, the 2037 touchdown this year.
It was just a tight end.
So, I played him half-time.
Well, I said, you know, he was a runner on the running base.
I said, oh, I can't.
Running?
Yes.
Well, we've got to get a great runner.
It's a great runner.
Well, we've got to get a great runner.
It's a great runner.
Well, we've got to get a great runner.
It's a great runner.
It's a great runner.
Thank you very much.
Uh, very, very, uh, Senator, uh, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator, Senator,
It's a great school.
They do a Christmas program here.
The most beautiful program we had last year.
I have a cousin.
who is attending, actually, the Wilson program.
And the other thing, you know, this community health care program has been post-conference for many, many years now.
It is a great program to pass a year here today for a private industry to really help the young people.
You know, we have several million young people in the area of these global foundations that we can bring down to the planet.
And it's just a fantastic program that
We should get a little more of this private industry putting money where we could, I think, and we can get more of that money, and we're going to have a chance to do something against the communist countries by such a state.
Yes, sir.
Well, as a matter of fact, we didn't have to go to communist countries.
You know, a lot of people in the free countries now are pretty much so-so after Atlas.
Now look, what happened, you know, it took us years to find out how the Australians were getting some tests.
You know, they turned into, like, a group of venture or what-you-like-it-called-tests.
So if you come over here now, you come in and suppose it's like this.
All right.
All right.
Now we'll look out there.
All right.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, good.
Thank you.
Okay.
I'm going to give you one more of these presidential copies.
See you.
Now, a couple of these for you.
Another one for you, Martin.
And for you.
Oh, man.
Now, for Mother, we can't use a cup until we do that.
It's a little bowl with a seal, too, so you won't be able to swim in it.
I just had, I guess the reason I said I just had five women generals in the first year.
You've never had, you know, we've got five generals now that are women.
I said, we just said we won't be able to hand it in if I don't give you one of these.
It's our official program.
We're a national tournament and a championship.
And we appreciate you right here.
And thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We had over $2 million that came up through the 10th of September.
Great program, great program.
We had a nice place out of this academy.
What, the Air Force Academy?
No, not the Air Force Academy.
I visited it when I spoke there.
I'm sorry to interrupt that, Danny.
It's alright.
The captains were down close.
There were only four of us.
So, you'll get back.
You'll get your leg out.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
He'll make it.
Because he's quick, very quick.
The reason I think that is, that's why it seems that the action, you know, the defense warms you and so forth.
The offensive lineman moves on force.
The defensive line moves on movement.
And that is why he could play defensive.
He could play defense because he cannot move until he sees that ball move or the offensive line move.
And then he can move.
Bud Wilkinson also points this out.
You know, when he was covering the Oklahoma game, the Oklahoma-Norwegian game.
And he pointed out that the advantage that the offensive lineman has is that he can move on the count, and he knows when the count is going to come, so he gets a little bit of a jump.
But the defensive lineman compensates for getting that jump by the fact that he can use his hands, whereas the offensive lineman can't, unless he cheats.
Play a defensive linebacker.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
