But here you have a piece of legislation that is enormously important.
And the money was not.
So I said, let's look at your signature.
Enhance these states that are willing to return the $5 billion.
That didn't cost anything.
That's the deal.
It's part of the system.
Yeah, we don't contribute.
How would you like to have it accepted?
I would like to have it accepted.

I've got to show you one newspaper that was sent to me.
The Lost Gas Times in 1950.
There's a couple of politicians.
I got elected the first time.

You were the seventh.
You felt it too.
I don't know about that.
And he's also gone a little further, John.

I just started at a different place.
His problem, I mean, he was so bad at excess weight.
No.
You're right.
Well, I'm going to kick it out of here.

Thank you.
Good.

Great.
Thank you.

Well, I'm just going to say it.
Thank you again.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good to see you.
How are you feeling?
Just fine.
Aren't you back from that run?
Yeah, pal.
Oh, this wouldn't be a bad year to run.
No, I just realized.
Remember, 70 was running.
Oh, this would be a good year to run.
That's right.
I said to my wife, I don't know how to act.
That's right.
Well, you've got a lot in 70.
76 you've got.
How are you doing?
Thanks.
Thanks to you.
