[4:00:51] Thank you very much.
[4:00:55] Jerry, good to see you again.
[4:01:03] Happy New Year.
[4:01:04] But you want to go to the party like everybody else does?
[4:01:13] Oh, I think I've got enough on my hands.
[4:01:16] You don't want to go, right?
[4:01:17] The first man is not going.
[4:01:19] The first man.
[4:01:20] I mean, every place is a match.
[4:01:21] Yeah.
[4:01:22] Yeah, I had to see the whole CDS through here.
[4:01:24] That's the whole match that's going to be going.
[4:01:27] All right, sir.
[4:01:28] That came out very well.
[4:01:30] That program looked up very well.
[4:01:32] That's good.

[4:01:33] Good coverage this morning.
[4:01:34] Good coverage.

[4:02:06] Are you going to time the Soviet visit?
[4:02:08] Are you going to time your economic thing just for the election year?
[4:02:12] I thought that was pretty god damn cheap.
[4:02:14] Now that's just too insulting a question to answer.
[4:02:18] But I was, I think the fact that you made a school of papers all come in this morning is a little, did you have a, you were relaxed, cool, had a good will.
[4:02:27] I think it's a little, I had a little dig there where I said, well, you know, everybody's going to say that the president does something.
[4:02:34] I said, of course, there was some of my supporters who thought that the bombing was coming a few days before the election.
