 Good afternoon, Mr. President. I'd like you to leave. Hi, how are you? I'm fine. Heaven, it's nice to see you. Let's see you. Thank you very much. Well, thank you very much. Oh, yes, yes, yes. This is pleasure to meet you. But thank you for having me. This is my husband, Sam. Well. This is Dr. Joy. Thank you very much for the support. Well, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. I was very pleased to meet you. Well, say that I didn't know in my briefings. I didn't know that. I'm very pleased to meet you. And Richard. I'm pleased to meet you. Now, I know they're going to want a group picture. Let me put these down, because I've got something funny that's just happening here, Kevin. Let's see. Inside this is a jar with that steel engraved on it. Signature on it. And it's filled with jelly beans, and you just put samples to find it in that for you. So you put down here while we have our pictures taken. Oh, it's all that. So, now how will we... Some of them can come over here. Kevin, I have a message for you. Did you all get the individual photo? Mr. President and Kevin? Mr. President and Kevin. We want to get one more picture with President and Kevin. Oh, that's great. I'm going to get on this side of you, Kevin. And I'm going to put my tape on my nose. And it will be good. I have a little operation there. Do you like baseball? No? I want to tell you something about this incident. Congratulations on being a poster. But I thought you might like to know. About a year ago, people had different wrong ideas about epilepsy. But I played... I used to be in motion pictures. And I played the life story of a man named Grover Cleveland Alexander. And he is now his picture in the baseball hall of fame. He was a very great baseball pitcher. And Grover Cleveland Alexander had epilepsy. And he went to the top of his great moment that has never been equal. It was in the World Series with the Cardinals playing against the New York Yankees. He had won two of the six games of the series. Which was highly unusual for a pitcher. And then in the seventh game, which they needed to win the series. And being tied up three and three with the Yankees. In the seventh inning, with the bases loaded and no one out. The Cardinal pitcher developed a blister on his finger. And Rogers Warnsby sent for Grover Cleveland Alexander, who reached the day before and got in the greatest elevation anyone's ever received for winning. That gained the tie of the series. And he had to come out in that spot, bases loaded, seventh inning. Rogers Warnsby said, Well, what do you think? And Grover looked around the bases with free men on. And he said, Well, there doesn't seem to be any room for him on base. So he struck him out. And he won the seventh game for the World Series. Going in there. At that moment. Getting. And I played in that picture. There was one thing they didn't put in the picture. And I always regret it very much. When Grover walked, a long walk from the bullpen out to the mound. Knowing the spot that he was going in. He was facing one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball. Who was also at epilepsy. And the two knew it about each other. The others didn't know it. But he had a great pitching record. He was also a war hero. World War I lead baseball. If I may enter one more. Very much like if you would like the candle of understanding. Look like an older boy. Do I look like that? Red hair. The red hair. Thank you so much for your time. I'm always honored and pleased. Each year someone comes in for the same reason you're in here. And you're going to do a lot of good for a lot of people. Thank you. Mr. President. Oh, welcome Mr. President. There you go. Thank you. Take that. Cameron is the first California chosen poster child. Mr. President. So it's quite a treat to be there. Thank you. This is what you're working here for. I thought on the way over to San Anambos. A small town boy from Oregon, Illinois, I would stick together. To thank you for helping me with this award the last three years. I thought I'd bring this up. We're in Illinois. For heaven's sakes. But with all the gratuitous problems you have, I'm bringing one of our $1.76 coffee cups and a plate of brown rice. Well, thank you very much. It's not Morris College. It's not Morris College. It's not Morris College. Oh, no. When it burned in about 35, I think, six or something like that, I never had enough money to rebuild it. Oh, that's a shame. Here's the, you know, mine, the award I gave to Don. For our cover, I'd like to have you two stand there holding it. You want to give it to me? No, just how this would be. I know the chair to go to be in the cover, but I didn't know how it was going to be. I've got a right side to it. Well, congratulations. And if we could get one of them with me from my wife, follow my ego wall in the office. I follow Ed Meese and Matt Falbridge and have received us. I remember we surprised Ed Meese. Well, finally, congratulations. And according to the comments I got from the luncheon audience, when he got the award the first time, one guy said, you know, he comes across a lot different on a podium than he does in the Washington Post. Thank you, Don. Mr. Meese guy. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Hello there. Nice to see you. President Dan Thompson, nice to see you. Nice to see you. How are you? Good to see you. Good to see you. How are you? Good to see you, Mr. President. Mr. President, as our subtenno book says, you're the only American president in the history of our hundred-year gridiron club that probably knows a lot more about what we're trying to do on the stage than we do ourselves. And as an organization of dedicated but plodding amateurs, we thank you very much for putting up with all of our five dinners and shows since we've become president and you've even spoken and they have your own jives at the end of everyone who even once came up on the stage and you agree with that big somewhere. Now, we've tried to even if it's unintended we're unfortunately we're imitating your administration. In one respect, this book project here has a big deficit. But we're still proud of the product and I'd like to present our historian Jim Free to give you your book. Well, I'll tell you, if you will help us get our deficit-reducing plan, we'll help you with you. Mr. President, I'll say the top-downs here is the title, Close Amongst the Amateurs. And we'll have a picture here, but we'll put it nicely. Yes. That even caught me, the sequence came from me. I thought you'd gone to the powder room. That was a very deep secret. Of the 17 presidents, Mr. President, who attended the Good Island dinners, you're among the very top-flight and you're relishing the give-and-take and the trusted parrot of Good Island Club and working with the two Rose Phelps and Jack Kennedy. Thank you very much. Well, I'm very pleased to have this. And he's got another book for you. This is for a massive rating. All right. Both autographed. Well, appropriate sentence. Well, thank you very much. She'll be very pleased, particularly with that photo in there. As to all you amateurs, if I could, there's a fellow named Spencer Tracy that had a good lesson in acting. He would head out to young people in Hollywood, which was learn your lines and don't bump into the furniture. LAUGHTER He couldn't have a show if he did that. I appreciate it. You just signed one. James Free here. That's what it was. You put a lot of iron on that. That's it. Is this for you? Yes, this is for me. James Free. The author of the book. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you, sir. We'll move on to the next one. As the vice president, I hope you'll be there. LAUGHTER That's not automatic, though. And as the producer of the skit you appeared in and your wife appeared in, thank you. All right. Just don't schedule it on, let's say like November 18th to 19th. LAUGHTER I'm going to be doing something. LAUGHTER We'll see you tomorrow. Thank you very much. Hello there. Hi. How are you? Pleased to see you here. My wife, my son. Hello. How are you? I was at a stake in engaging yesterday at the 680 Pratt & Whitney aircraft employees, the retirees. And I spoke there at 55 of my flags on display. And you got an anonymous photo confidence from all of them. And I told them about the passages in the airplane that you made sure it didn't get away. I got a standing ovation, believe me. When I said, I apologized. I was very unanimous. Hell no. Let's move over here with this background and get a picture. And why don't you get in here between this and the minute. Always makes a prettier picture that way. I'm not going to get in here. I still think when the envelope is out on the road, I think that you're probably watching. I'm looking out the corner of my eye to see whether I'm going to be in this or not. I'm still watching. That's a very precious flag. Today I was just presented with the paralyzed Veterans of America flag this afternoon at 2 o'clock here in Washington. That's another one that's going to be flagged. Dig me to your honor. I hope you'll see him someday. All the other times, I don't have a head-to-stay with me. I can do it myself and sometimes I can do it this way. Even though it's not uniform, little souvenirs. This is a bookmark, just a souvenir, and that's the presidential seal. Beautiful. Thank you. And the same seal. Cut, thanks. Beautiful. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Good to see you. This is a bailout living my heart forever, believe me. I just wanted to say to you, and I gave the gentleman over here a letter on the Polish immigrant that works with me that expresses feelings for you. In America? In America, and that you were doing a wonderful job, and he wrote you a little note, and he would like to give him a little note back so he can write it on to his parents in Poland that he had a letter from you. Well, I assume that the address is on there? Yes, his address and everything is there. He's been in America for three years, and he's been killed by total pills on Poland. Even an immigrant can come to America to get a note from the president of the United States, and that might help big boys. We need all the time to take care of them. Another thing I work with says you're doing a great job. It's a hello. I appreciate meeting you. It's a very, very honor. Well, a great pleasure for me to have you here. Thank you. Good to see you. I wish they'd change the law so I could run for another term. It's a great way to do it. Really, can you do one of these jobs, sir? Well, I don't think they could do that for me, but I'll tell you something I'm not for myself. I think that constitutional amendment was a mistake. If we've had a democracy, the people would have got a right to vote for whoever they want to for as many times as they want to. That's right. Definitely. Because, you know, it all started with simply it became a tradition when George Washington only ran for the second time. But back then, they were so conscious that they did not want this new country to ever take on the aspect of royalty. So he did that and started that tradition in those early days. And I didn't always feel this way, but the more I've thought about it, and just said last night a fair good night or goodbye to a senator who was retiring at the 36 years as a senator, well, why shouldn't the people, they did it for Roosevelt and the people wanted to do it. It was their right to do it. They're changing. You wouldn't have no problem. So it has turned for me. You've done a fantastic job. Thank you. And thank you for the invitation. I thought you forgot all about me. No, no. I think about you every time I stand up there in my room. All right. Thank you, sir.
