[0:07] Well, congratulations.
[0:09] 47.
[0:11] What'd you miss?
[0:16] State of Washington.
[0:33] What?
[0:33] Go to COVID.
[0:34] Both?
[0:35] Uh-huh.
[0:35] You've got to go to COVID.
[0:37] And Hawaii.
[0:38] How many of you not there?
[0:43] Well, I've been there, I think.
[0:47] A lot of them.
[0:49] I was involved in that.
[0:51] I was a champion.
[0:53] You were a champion.
[0:54] I'm sorry.
[0:57] I'm sorry.
[0:57] I'm sorry.
[0:58] I'm sorry.
[0:59] I'm sorry.
[0:59] I'm sorry.
[1:00] I'm sorry.
[1:07] Oh, that fits well.
[1:10] We're kind of red-white twins.
[1:11] Mrs. Brown, how do you get such dumb honors?
[1:16] There you are, girl.
[1:17] Just contact your own manager.
[1:19] Well, at least I have a president.
[1:21] She has an identical twin, and I'll tell you, the nice girl in the crown, she was taking many of the pictures.
[1:27] Who isn't a mentor?
[1:28] Oh, yeah.
[1:29] Where are we going?
[1:30] Do you want to listen to your first response?
[1:34] Oh, yeah.
[1:34] Well, I'll take a picture.
[1:58] Well, we have to send the pictures for you.
[2:03] The official file is here.
[2:06] 21 first.
[2:07] Two of us alone first.
[2:08] Send her the best one.
[2:30] Is that right?
[2:30] Well, I had this this evening.
[2:59] Do you think it's all right to teach your friends about it?
[3:04] Oh, I'm okay.
[3:06] It's not okay to teach them to do it.
[3:12] Okay.
[3:13] You're right.
[3:14] Well, that's very well that I enjoy it.
[3:19] Go there and get on a horse.
[3:22] Now, we gave you your badges.
[3:25] These are new ones that you got here last year.
[3:28] The mark of this room, the main thing is the seal.
[3:32] Of course, I just put there Leo Roosevelt, because it's very old, 70 years ago.
[3:37] And it's always, it's always open in the rug, you see.
[3:42] This is in the rug, but about three years ago, the nails were sealed.
[3:47] It's there.
[3:47] And this is a piece of work.
[3:49] Here, this is a piece of stupid use.
[3:52] It was made by stupid, by the ambassador of Annenberg had created it.
[3:58] and a star and a seal on my back.
[4:01] I'll show you one more place so you can know what you're going to get.
[4:11] Here it is.
[4:12] And a flag.
[4:14] And here it is and a pin that you can wear.
[4:18] And you get a jersey.
[4:19] You get one.
[4:20] That's that.
[4:21] That's true.
[4:27] Well, that's Julie's, and that's the one that she did, but it was Cruel, Cruel World, whatever that is.
[4:38] Anyway, what happens is that there's a lot of interest in that, and they send it around to exhibitions and raise money for the Girl Scouts, and that little piece of Cruel World has been sent around.
[4:50] They sell both the kits.
[4:51] It's already raised $60,000.
[4:52] Oh, thank you.
[4:55] That's why this is here.
[4:57] I owe it to you.
[5:02] Where's our crew?
[5:03] Where is he?
[5:12] And this is another excuse.
[5:15] We always put the official statement gifts.
[5:20] This is from the Mexican president.
[5:23] It's an antique.
[5:26] I don't know what it is, actually.
[5:28] Oh, that's beautiful.
[5:31] It's probably a baby.
[5:34] Oh, that.
[5:35] Oh, my goodness.
[5:35] It's quite an interesting description.
[5:39] Yeah.
[5:39] Sure.
[5:41] It's kind of a slide.
[5:41] Oh.
[5:41] Yeah.
[5:42] Was he here?
[5:42] Yeah, he was here.
[5:43] Yeah.
[5:45] And of course, we have all of them, so you can be reassured that you didn't get any.
[5:54] Like somebody said, we missed the day of the inauguration.
[6:01] We're going to knock some doors around so that we can see her.
[6:14] But now, for our picture, Mr. Sinclair, who is in charge of beauty.
[6:19] That's impressive.
[6:20] What do you suggest, Rob?
[6:22] I think you could get something.
[6:24] There's three of you.
[6:25] Three queens.
[6:26] No, no, two queens.
[6:27] All right.
[6:28] You see, I'm going to take you to her house now.
[6:31] I'll walk you over to where you started.
[6:36] Is that right?
[6:36] Is that right?
[6:37] No, no, no.
[6:47] That was made by a wounded veteran in Louisiana.
[7:12] I was really disappointed.
[7:13] I thought I was going to meet your daughter, Tricia.
[7:15] She was in Columbia.
[7:17] Yeah.
[7:17] And I was down in Florida for a little vacation.
[7:21] And I thought that she had just done that.
[7:24] Yeah.
[7:25] She was there for some sort of voter registration.
[7:29] I think it already should be short.
[7:31] She was born the first year I did it.
[7:32] The first year I did it.
[7:33] She was born in 1946, which is the year I did the conference.
[7:56] Thank you.
[7:57] Thank you, sir.
