[0:03] How are you?
[0:11] How are you?
[0:18] Oh, I know, I know.
[0:19] That was funny.
[0:20] I know it's really sad.
[0:22] But I didn't want to say that.
[0:29] He's a pretty decent age.
[0:30] You know, he's a pretty decent age.
[0:40] Yeah.
[0:45] Yeah.
[0:46] Yeah.
[0:46] Yeah.
[0:49] Yeah.
[1:10] We worked with you in the last four years.
[1:15] I'm going to work with you in the next five years.
[1:19] We want you to win.
[1:21] I know.
[1:22] Don't worry about it.
[1:23] I'll be around you in the future.
[1:32] All right, let's see this.
[1:45] And the parents and the daughter were there hopping and...
[2:03] We're going to need to know that we've got a ramp, so...
[2:20] My brother was killed with a direct result of the stopping of that bombing.
[2:28] He had four days to come.
[2:30] He's been there a whole year.
[2:33] And it was killed with four days to finish up.
[2:37] When I believe so.
[2:39] Oh, he's a career man.
[2:41] He's been in for 18 years.
[2:42] Oh, he's a career man.
[2:44] He's an officer.
[2:45] And he was invited to the Pentagon.
[2:48] He was coming back here.
[2:50] He was an officer.
[2:50] No, I'm an officer.
[2:52] And he had worked as a general officer for many years.
[2:57] It's not a real problem.
[2:58] Oh, I'm so sorry.
[2:59] But we are.
[3:00] And we're proud of him.
[3:01] He's a good man.
[3:03] No.
[3:07] My family, if I didn't have this... Where's that tissue?
[3:10] There.
[3:11] Oh, come on.
[3:13] Yeah, yeah.
[3:13] He admired you greatly.
[3:15] Yes, he did.
[3:16] I can see that.
[3:17] And I know he died before you were elected.
[3:20] I know that.
[3:21] Well, we're going to be sure that he did not have that.
[3:26] Yeah, that's right.
[3:27] He won't.
[3:28] He won't.
[3:28] Yes, that's right, sir.
[3:42] We are.
[3:43] This is what we've got.
[3:47] Now, Mr. President, we have a very small sum of public savings.
[4:02] We are.
[4:03] Thank you very much.
[4:04] Thank you very much.
[4:06] Thank you very much.
[4:08] Well, sir, I said earlier in the campaign, you see, you had that question.
[4:12] That's right.
[4:13] I'm the president of the republic, so I got it after all the work.
[4:16] And it was so funny.
[4:17] He was there in the campaign.
[4:19] He said, you really don't know some Democrats.
[4:20] Well, I don't really know them.
[4:22] Yes, I do.
[4:22] I knew a lot of them back at that time.
[4:24] I was with Mr. Wilson because he was an Democrat.
[4:26] The Congress was part of the Congress.
[4:28] But he said, well, twice he said, I don't know what.
[4:31] He said, well, if you do, I think I'm going to have a call with you.
[4:34] I'm going to do it.
[4:36] He's my fellow speaker.
[4:41] Oh, my God.
[4:42] Oh, my God.
[4:52] uh uh
[5:20] I don't know.
[5:39] We have a, remember they supplied the Pumasco, I had a final specification, the best central was this, and what part was this, and they're going to go down through here at the top line.
[5:49] So, what, I think people appreciate looking at this, and I can share our generation.
[5:56] It's going to be about three and a half days, and it's about two and a half miles of traffic as we went up.
[6:03] And it's going to literally be an eight o'clock in the morning in our city.
[6:09] And it's just time to follow traffic going north and south.
[6:12] So we got this agreement laid out.
[6:14] We're going to put money in the state.
[6:16] So there's this money in that footway that's growing this field.
[6:23] And I was hoping, I was hoping, when the time comes, I can take this to your corporation, the time comes, to get some money back.
[6:32] I need to hear about it.
[6:35] Now, you know, so...
[6:37] All right.
[6:53] I was telling him that while I was in the nursing home, there isn't the only theater he'd want me to be in to prepare for home recovery.
[7:02] I said, I can't get with you because there's only other people I can get with.
[7:05] I said, I'm really worried about his medicine.
[7:07] He gets up there and does that never-ending thing.
[7:09] I said, what?
[7:10] I said, I told you I was in the nursing home.
[7:13] I didn't exactly say that to him.
[7:18] I said, that's all right, we'll get a big enterprise.
[7:20] I said, we'll get a vacuum mixer.
[7:22] I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[7:49] Don't worry, that's just a prospect.
[7:51] I actually see a seal there with a safety chain.
[7:56] Don't worry, I'm happy you're safe.
[7:57] I'm sorry you've got this.
[7:58] This is great.
[7:59] I'm going to take your time.
[8:02] I'm sorry.
[8:02] I'm sorry.
[8:03] I'm sorry.
[8:03] I'm sorry.
[8:13] I told you that when it comes to the problems of the city, as a major to the economy, as long as it's a democratic republic, we're going to have a city.
[8:23] And I told you that.
[8:25] That's what I told you.
[8:26] That's not going to happen.
[8:27] That's not going to happen.
[8:29] That's not going to happen.
[8:33] Thank you.
[8:34] Thank you.
[8:34] Thank you.
