[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:01] Yes, I am.
[0:02] All right.
[0:04] All right.
[0:06] All right.
[0:08] All right.
[0:09] All right.
[0:11] All right.
[0:13] All right.
[0:17] All right.
[0:18] All right.
[0:23] We had a meeting with our advisory committee, and these fellows did a terrific job, you know, working on the campaign.
[0:39] And I stepped in for a few minutes to do it.
[0:43] They're great fellows.
[0:44] We want to keep them doing it.
[0:48] Well, of course, they'd like it around here.
[0:52] Probably too can't afford it.
[0:54] Not too much to tell your wife, but tell her to tell you that I can't afford it.
[0:59] Well, they do think we can pay that.
[1:02] You're in a state of law.
[1:04] Do we get a picture over here?
[1:07] Here's a picture before the flags.
[1:10] It looks like the two of us have all presented to them.
[1:14] That's my daughter.
[1:17] That's my daughter.
[1:19] My daughter is in California today, but she's attending my first advocacy meeting.
[1:29] And in addition to it,
[1:35] I'm going out there this afternoon.
[1:38] I'm going to try to get another water center, but we also have a fund-raising center where we're going to have $1,500 price.
[1:50] I put it back at the official top of the head.
[1:53] It's where we used to make our head as a lake.
[1:58] Well, I think that's an interesting thing, how she showed me the way we learned these things.
[2:05] I mean, she says, I'm going to a library in America.
[2:10] Well, I think she didn't say it was black.
[2:13] And that's good.
[2:14] Well, I mean, they were a sacrifice for all families, for all the kids to have.
[2:30] Thank you for having us.
[2:38] I want to thank all of you for providing support to be honest all of that noise and all of that noise.
[2:45] I want to ask the board, I'm very, very proud of what you're doing.
[2:50] We're very, very excited.
[2:52] We're thankful for what you're doing for the colleges and Dr. Warren, that is of Cincinnati, sends his greetings and that we are operating one of these universities.
[3:03] We wish all of the board community
[3:05] And we count on those universities and colleges to know we never had an adequate amenity here because ATW has always fought it.
[3:13] And the educational establishment has fought it because they don't like what they call separate education.
[3:18] And I said, well, first of all, it isn't.
[3:22] But second,
[3:23] You've got to remember that these black colleges have a great tradition.
[3:27] They've got their own and all the rest.
[3:30] And for a long time, they are going to be the college that a lot of kids are going to go to.
[3:34] And they must survive.
[3:36] I just don't think these people get away with this.
[3:38] You know, all the kids aren't going to be able to go to Harvard or Smith or...
[3:45] They're not going to make it to that species of the colleges that they are going to go to.
[3:51] I am delighted that the two, that the Speedway Sports and some of the great football teams like Rams and the Reds are coming.
[4:00] And this is actually, you know, that band is going to college.
[4:03] They're all going to college.
[4:07] They carried that on the, they said that was the big hit of the inauguration.
[4:17] We had heard all over here so far about people and the opportunity to open up for them.
[4:28] And although our support has been what we like, you have been most gracious.
[4:39] The main thing is that we're going to go after everybody.
[4:46] We will appreciate all the support we can get.
[4:48] But the main thing is that when problems come up, we're going to think in terms of the people, but not in terms of on-the-job support.
[4:59] We like as much as we can get.
[5:01] But we're not going to say that we're not seated to say that.
[5:07] But it would be easy to get that support from the Minnesota Regation.
[5:13] But we want our agency to know that.
[5:15] We would be happy to do that.
[5:16] So do you.
[5:17] Well, I want us to know that.
[5:18] This is a photograph of the break of the summer.
[5:22] Do you remember that?
[5:27] It must have been an ax or a log.
[5:31] I don't see it.
[5:32] Oh, yes, of course.
[5:33] I see the Russian up there.
[5:37] That's so important for the future of the uh, of the planning on your crew, do you mind?
[6:09] This one may be a way out of stroke, but I call it to your attention now, and I'll leave the notes just around.
[6:15] And some of us believe that the person that you think should be playing this might very like it.
[6:22] Right.
[6:23] And we like so much that it might happen.
[6:26] Let me say it in that connection.
[6:29] I think it's something that we certainly want to consider, and I would love to say that I do.
[6:37] I would like to say to her that it's not something I would want to do before the election because I think we will have a few other players or votes.
[6:44] If we do it, we want to do it because it's the right thing to do.
[6:49] But I knew Dr. King, you know.
[6:50] Yeah, I know.
[6:58] I'd like to say that the one thing I would hate with you, I think you're doing exceedingly well.
[7:16] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[7:47] Well, you've got something for his wife, haven't you, Sam?
[8:00] Thank you.
[8:08] Thank you.
[8:12] Thank you.
[8:13] Thank you.
[8:14] Thank you.
[8:26] You can hear me good.
[8:28] You can hear me.
[8:29] I'm going to have a mic.
