[0:00] Good morning, Mr. President.
[0:02] Good morning.
[0:03] Good morning.
[0:04] How are you?
[0:04] I just want to tell them all, the senators and congressmen, we are in for it.
[0:12] It's the first time we get a Senate.
[0:16] They're really good now.
[0:18] They're very good.
[0:20] They're very good.
[0:22] I'll see you.
[0:23] Oh, I want to do this.
[0:45] What do you mean flowers?
[0:46] What do you mean flowers?
[0:48] You know, they've got lots of flowers.
[0:50] It's kind of okay.
[0:51] It's got a really bigger heart.
[0:54] No.
[0:54] It has a heart.
[0:55] So, you know, she just sent hers, and she can see it in her room.
[0:59] It has a nice little voltage, if you would, you know, 130.
[1:01] All right.
[1:02] All right.
[1:03] How are you feeling?
[1:05] Fine.
[1:05] Excuse me.
[1:06] Is that right?
[1:07] Yeah.
[1:08] Okay.
[1:09] Well, I've got to go to my school.
[1:11] I'm going to go to my school.
[1:12] I'm going to go to my school.
[1:15] Getting along as it's one thing to be close to discrimination.
[1:19] Second, Boz, inviting me to tell you to be gentle in front of you.
[1:23] One month after you leave, we'll chat.
[1:31] Why don't you read?
[1:32] Why don't you send her a message?
[1:35] Our response will depend upon what you do with me or not.
[1:38] I don't, I wouldn't accept that.
[1:40] I think we should accept it and say, this is a person not that was there to investigate.
[1:45] That's what I mean.
[1:46] We will accept.
[1:47] But if there is a tendency to be an honor, we'll make it sweet.
[1:50] There is a tendency to make it impossible for Dr. President.
[1:54] The President said, but if there's a tendency to make it impossible, they have never taken initiative.
[2:01] They've never invited us to a meeting.
[2:03] They've never...
[2:05] Let me say this, Heather.
[2:07] I don't want you to get any impression.
[2:08] I was not honestly impressed by that book.
[2:11] It's a magical job.
[2:13] But what I'm trying to do is to read it to the devil's side because, you see, I want to have a chance.
[2:20] You and I have got to sit down before we get on an airplane.
[2:25] I'm not going to go over it to you.
[2:27] If you'd like to do that in a second, I know that we can do this.
[2:30] Just thank you so much.
[2:31] Now, if you pick the other book out that I can go through, that book I have finished.
[2:36] You see it over there?
[2:38] Right.
[2:38] But this is the evidence.
[2:41] I'll tell you what time you need to read the poetry.
[2:44] I don't know.
