[0:01] This is Councilor Ember, Mr. President.
[0:04] How are you doing, President?
[0:07] Well, I'm happy to welcome you here.
[0:13] Thank you.
[0:14] May I present my board of directors?
[0:20] Mr. Mayor, I would like to thank you.
[0:30] They're all in our area, that's what I do.
[0:34] They didn't think of that years ago, so they don't think of that.
[0:45] Oh, yeah, of course.
[0:52] There's a lot of dangerous conditions around here.
[0:55] You're mad at me?
[0:56] Yeah, you still got us on the ground.
[0:57] You're mad at me?
[0:59] Yeah, you still got us on the ground.
[1:03] You're mad at me?
[1:04] Yeah, you still got us on the ground.
[1:08] You're mad at me?
[1:13] Yeah, you still got us on the ground.
[1:17] I know this man.
[1:18] He's a board member from Minnesota.
[1:22] Well, I think, John, I'm going to have to get over here and get this recorded.
[1:32] So he's standing here.
[1:37] Press play.
[1:38] Get in right there.
[1:42] Good.
[1:43] Good idea.
[1:52] We had a day this year.
[1:55] Well, we don't buy homes, we take them back.
[2:01] We have a bunch of people.
[2:03] We have a bunch of people.
[2:05] We have a bunch of people.
[2:24] I don't know.
[2:25] I don't know.
[3:30] So this is the 50,000 people that are going to be slowly helping to celebrate the 9th and 14th of July.
[3:37] And realize how important these people are.
[3:42] And the fact is that we can get them out.
[3:52] All right.
[3:56] All right.
[4:23] My family lived in Oklahoma.
[4:28] My president wrote to me and told me about this visit that he wrote to you about.
[4:38] That's how I know about it.
[4:40] Well, we were friends.
[4:43] Yes, I see.
[4:43] We stuck together.
[4:45] Yes.
[4:46] Well, I remember, of course, after meeting Carlsberg.
[4:48] Yes.
[4:49] That's quite a long time.
[4:50] But Carlsberg and the others.
[4:53] It was a great incentive.
[4:55] They merged now.
[4:55] That is right.
[4:56] Right.
[4:56] But most I remember the people, the beautiful farms that they almost had the grass cut by hands.
[5:02] Strong people.
[5:03] Good people.
[5:05] We see why the people of the Native Americans, as we call them,
[5:23] He's a star, and he's such a strong person.
[5:28] He's a strong person.
[5:29] You're a forebear.
[5:30] You're right.
[5:31] I know his.
[5:31] You're right.
[5:32] Well, we're ready.
[5:34] Thank you for the nice words you expressed.
[5:36] We hope that you did some good work.
[5:38] If I stay away one day, I may be able to go back.
[5:41] You would be happy with us.
[5:43] One day.
[5:44] The professor in Detroit is given a small figure.
[5:49] It's a gold symbol.
[5:51] And you have a
[5:52] Oh, yes.
[5:52] Well, I have two of them.
[5:54] That's right.
[5:55] I know I have one.
[5:56] I mean, we were calling in there.
[6:00] So, that's what it is.
[6:02] I've been very proudly associated with this one.
[6:05] It's a great project.
[6:07] You've been to a very different project than I have.
[6:12] A great number.
[6:13] Also, these people.
[6:15] Oh, yes.
[6:15] We have taken people back home.
[6:18] All right.
[6:19] We want you to all have a little memento.
[6:22] These are, you see the seal of the president and here it is in the top line.
[6:30] So each of you should put perhaps like these things on it.
[6:34] I have a little memento to take away from this.
[6:38] This is operation.
[6:50] Our thoughts will always be with you, even though I can't be there this year.
[6:56] Next year, are we going to have all the call numbers?
[7:00] Will you not be able to speak at all?
[7:03] Oh, yes.
[7:04] Oh, yes.
[7:05] And the team next year will be a friendship.
[7:08] I've seen those people being friends.
[7:12] You can't help it.
[7:13] You travel up and down.
[7:17] See how old it is today.
[7:19] How they build that.
[7:21] Well, Mr. President, gentlemen's on the house this morning.
[7:30] Mike Farrell's going to take that house and show them the grounds house.
[7:36] Yeah, sure, sure.
[7:37] Yes, Rochard.
[7:38] That's all right.
[7:39] That means that we were 30,000 people last year.
[7:42] So we'll be no big this year.
[7:44] Right.
[7:45] That's amazing.
[7:48] I certainly appreciate it.
[7:51] Thank you.
[8:09] He made such a fine speech that it was terrific.
[8:14] It was terrific.
[8:23] Goodbye.
[8:24] Thank you very much.
[8:24] Thank you.
[8:26] I appreciate that.
[8:27] Thank you for that.
[8:28] Goodbye and love you.
