[0:12] I brought this from Arizona.
[0:14] Yeah, well, sir.
[0:15] I heard it was from my Arizona.
[0:17] And just made it for you.
[0:19] Well, you know.
[0:22] You don't even have any money.
[0:25] And this guy, this is a man of cottonwood, roots of a cottonwood tree, and he had a helicopter to go kill the birds to get this thing from him.
[0:49] Mr. President.
[0:54] Right, right.
[0:55] I've got to tell you, that's the year in India we shut that broke up the building down here.
[1:01] Oh, that's the one that burned it down.

[1:05] But now we've come to the inaugural place.
[1:08] What do you do?
[1:09] You do all the inaugurations and all these other things.
[1:12] That's all I do.
[1:13] When do you make money?
[1:16] Well, I hope I make some in January of 2020.
[1:19] If I don't, I don't have any time.

[3:18] I think they've got new ideas.
[3:19] I'll have them put this on.
[3:44] Thank you.
[4:05] Well, this is just an argument.
[4:07] 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.
[4:22] That's a little simple.
[4:24] We don't have the account on there.
[4:27] We're giving the account today, tomorrow, all of your friends, all of you, all of the country.
[4:33] So we're going to be grateful for that.
[4:40] I've got a thing to tell you that you've done everything I've told you.
[4:43] Well, say, have you seen the newest one?
[4:46] I guess you can vouch for it.
[4:48] Oh, my God.
[4:49] Huh?
[4:49] Really good answer.
[4:51] Thank you.
[4:53] Should I give you a pair of them?
[4:55] No, no, no.
[4:55] I don't want to see them.
[4:56] Do you have any other brand-new ones, or they don't have those brand-new?
[5:01] You know, new ones like this?
[5:03] I don't know if they're new, but they may have some new names.
[5:07] This is the oldest thing I've ever seen.
[5:08] Yeah, I agree.
[5:10] I think they're not ready yet.
[5:12] All right.
[5:12] Well, I'll give you another pair of these.
[5:15] Thank you.
[5:15] These are very nice.
[5:16] Yeah.
[5:17] I'll figure out something new before the next trip, though.
[5:21] That's right.
[5:21] By the way, please come in and give me the check at the end.
[5:25] Well, I thought about it.
[5:26] I thought about it.
[5:27] I thought about it.
[5:28] I thought about it.
[5:30] I thought about it.
[5:32] I thought about it.
[5:36] Well, they do sell them.
[5:38] They sell them.
[5:51] Oh, yeah.
[6:12] and, uh, trades, but you can get a couple of them.
[6:16] Thank you.
[6:16] Any new things I see while I'm out there?
[6:18] Oh, yeah.
[6:19] You seen the watch?
[6:21] I haven't.
[6:22] You ever wear yours?
[6:23] I've got your picture on the back, you know.
[6:26] I keep, I keep mine.
[6:27] I don't know where I want to go to the White House.
[6:31] Has he got a set of glasses?
[6:33] Has he got a set of glasses?
[6:35] Hold on, you're ready to show them.
[6:37] Yeah.
[6:38] Water.
[6:38] Water?
[6:42] That's what you get.
[6:47] Is that a glass?
[6:49] Don't tell anybody else.
[6:51] I didn't tell anybody else.
[6:53] Okay, thanks a lot.
[6:54] I know I think it's something we just got arrived at.
[6:58] These are beautiful glasses.
[7:00] Well, they're not beautiful up there.
[7:02] Can't have any glasses with the presidential seal on the signature.
[7:07] And just use them for non-alcoholic drinks in your house.
[7:11] Just non-alcoholic drinks.
[7:12] It's very cold out there, and it's forced to burn.
[7:16] It's all right.
[7:16] It's all right.
[7:17] No more bourbon, huh?
[7:18] It's what you want.
[7:20] Good.
[7:20] Then don't even call me after you've made the decoction.
