All right.

How are you?

Nice to see you, my father-in-law.

I was two years to shake your hand.

Since 1952 and with your courage.

When you made the speech.

Yes, yes.

Because you were there then.

Yes, yes.

Oh, beautiful.

Yeah, beautiful.

I notice you're leaving Sunday.

Come on over.

Let's, uh, probably we'll do something that will be, uh, we'll get some outside on Saturday.

Let's get a picture for your, before we go out and get a press picture, let's get a picture for your family.

George, you'll be here on my right.

Here.

Now, come on.

We've got to do it in two different ways.

Just the young people, just the immediate family.

The girl that's standing, her father's brother.

There you go.

Now, come into your place.

Now, we'll get you down to the pen.

Hold on, hold on.

Go to the pen and act.

Now, look out and smile at that handsome fellow.

Good.

Now, use the voice of the boy and the, uh, the, uh, you come in, please.

Say the thing perhaps that she said.

Have a smile and say,

Thank you.

Well, uh,

You know, I've shown this before, but I was looking at it this morning.

Do you remember this ball?

That's right.

Did you know there are only three names, I think, on the team line, and they're yours, of course.

You know, Lennox, right?

What have you done?

I don't know anything else.

Yeah, yes, there is.

How could he have been on that scene?

Well, we got both sides.

Oh, he's at East and West.

Rosie Taylor's on it.

Boy, did he get so much history.

There it is.

There you have it.

Now, there's one other from Washington.

Who else would be?

Well, isn't that Vernon?

No, it's not Vernon.

No, it's not Vincent.

It's not Vincent.

So you want to have that verbal game.

This is the truth.

So I thought you could tell the trust out there.

The truth is that you can't just see.

There's us.

Oh, the people on here.

Is she still with you, Dan?

There she is.

So there she is.

George, Rosie Taylor, Glenn Haas.

How do you like that?

A little bit soft.

I hope it's pretty good, though.

Thank you.

I wrote a little note to her, and that's a little gift from her, too.

And then for each of them, now for the

This is the president with the presidential seal.

That's what I'm sending to the daughter.

Now, the boys, I don't know if you want to wear cuffs.

That's the seal of the flag.

That's why it's in colors.

So if you don't want to wear cuffs, you don't have to wear cuffs.

I probably won't for a reason.

There's another reason that going to the games, the big games, the championship games,

I actually went to a game.

In fact, it was the only time I had gone to one since I've been off there, except for one Rams game, an exhibition game.

That's when I went to the Nebraska-Oklahoma game.

When I go to a game, 100 camp followers have to come home.

We have to have 100 seats.

That includes 50 members of the press, 40 secret service, and 10 senators.

Now, go to that game, and to take those 100 seats away is just wrong.

And I can see there's another way.

Really?

Yeah.

You know, I made a statement.

I didn't realize this to the press.

I said, well, you know, Washington has no other franchise than the Redskins.

And so we feel allegations.

So one of the press wrote, well, I didn't mean that to them either.

I didn't mean that.

I thought they had something.

Major League Baseball, no.

Well, I thought we were after basketball.

Well, you know, these guys were after basketball.

Yeah, because they had that, you know.

Miami doesn't have a minor league baseball team, though.

They have a minor league baseball team.

You are right.

They do not have a major league baseball team.

They have a minor league football club.

Yeah, they've had different defenses.

They've had football.

They've had basketball.

I think it's going to be Matthew Sparrow of California.

Look, the main thing on this one.

I'll tell you what we've done.

I learned that you didn't have this day's tour of Christmas decorations.

So if you would like to do something very special today, this place is in California.

It's in Roseberry.

And if you're looking at this, I'm having Mike Farrell take you up to the second floor of the White House.

so that you could see the private room.

In other words, the Lincoln head room and the famous tree room, which used to be the Lincoln's cabin room.

The queen's room, where all the heads of state were staying.

And then also you'd see the family Christmas tree, which is very beautiful.

And you'd see the whole room where you'd see the heads of state.

So the only people who get to see this are my friends in the family.

So we thought we'd like to do

I think the real problem there is to keep them up.

I think it's good that it's two weeks.

Now that I can be, I can really lay off for what we want to do for a week.

And then that's it.

that it has to come up slowly.

I think getting out there and going down to Anaheim, that's a good place to be.

How is that hotel?

I've never been there, but I understand it's new.

I've seen a man on fire.

Check everything, make sure we have... Of course.

I was so smart to have the... That was the... No, no.

You have to take over the whole hotel.

Let me tell you this.

Just play the press the way you have.

Keep them out.

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

See, we've had four contracts.

You'll get through.

Four contracts in the last two weeks.

And I kind of say, swill.

Right.

And you won.

And a concentration game.

I had with those guys out of there.

And we did some things that we didn't want them to see.

You know?

Of course.

And they always replied with closing.

Oh, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't.

Well, how do you know when a press guy is in three months?

I could be on the tape, right?

And they don't even know any better.

Some of them are here.

Yeah, right.

They'd rather see it.

But that takes more reward.

Well, you'll have to know.

Going back to L.A., what a day for you.

I was going to say, I don't see how, what you did in that Rams game.

I was in, oh, let's see, the A-stars.

I'm not going to do it right now.

I hear it on the radio, and I'm going for it.

But it's another issue, and it seems that I'm always a fraud.

You played the Miami in the preseason in 2017, 24.

I was in Kanaka, Japan, and I was walking the speedball back after the score.

And I was in Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka, Kanaka.

I walked back to the room, and I heard the story.

I said, well, I'll place a small bet that those two teams would be considerable.

Well, you can tell the guy.

All right.

He walked out.

It's so nice.

All right.
