 But I tell you, the all-South Carolinian is just about all right. This is Willie Cribb, my president, and you. Good to see you. And you've met my mother before, Dixie Cribb. It's so good to see you. It's nice to see you. And my sister Dixie, who works for you. Hello, Mr. President. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. My sister is called Lynn Cribb, Hello. And little Lee. And that's Ken. Hello, Mr. President. How are you? How are you? My brother William Billy. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. And bad friend Champette Monta. My friend. Right. Good to see you. Evelyn Richie, my sister. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. And her husband Jim Richie. Nice to see you. And her husband Jim Richie. Nice to see you. And Caroline Richie. Hello. Hello. Hello. Nice to see you. My brother in law. I'm kind of an adopted member. Nice to see you. Thank you. I think we ought to assemble in a group picture here. Oh, great. Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Yeah. Let's see. We should probably get in in a little bit. I can't see you. I'm sorry. Make sure you get something your style. I don't see that. Come on in, and if you could slightly beside risks toward the center, please. Okay. Hold on. Ready? Come on. Look, we're gonna have our picture taken. Can you get the picture? Can you get the picture there? Ahhh. Awesome! Okay. Give me the picture. And Lee Greenwood was there, and he had just sung at the Republican National Convention, and I told him he certainly chose the right one. And I told him I was coming to Washington, and he said to please, to shake your hand, and to give you his best. And I think he says really what you have helped make all Americans feel that we are proud to be Americans. Well, please, thank you very much. As he said, get the crowd. As a guest here, I'm happy to say that we have a terrific crowd of people here to commemorate, not to celebrate, but to commemorate the stewardship of Ken Crip. And obviously the most appropriate person to talk about that is the person for whom we all work, whether in the White House, in the various departments, or some of us which Ken will enter a civilian life. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. This experience as a radio sports announcer, in which I say we interrupt this program for a brief news item announcement. The Geekus death penalty amendment calling upon drug czars and so forth who take a human life in the pursuit of their nefarious business, the amendment that applies the death penalty to them, just passed in the House of Representatives 299 to 100. I could say that's the good news, the bad news is Ken Crip is leaving. I know this is a party and I won't interrupt it for just more than a moment, but just want you to know how tinged with regret it is, of course, that you're leaving, but understanding completely that that has to be and who am I to talk? I'm leaving pretty soon myself. We have parties like this and each time it's to say goodbye to someone to whom we're deeply indebted, someone who has served nobly and above and beyond the call of duty and that is Ken Crip. And we know that where you're going you're going to continue to be of service to the public and to the things that we believe in so we're happy about that. But I think now it's eat, drink and be merry and all of us have to say goodbye. Thank you Mr. President. The President earlier today that in my view what distinguishes him from the generality of mankind and from every politician I know is that he always asks first the question that other politicians never ask at all and that is what is the proper role of government? And his answer to that question has led to less intrusiveness of government at home and that's brought with it prosperity and it's led to strength abroad and that's brought with it peace and the debate Mr. President is just starting, just starting about what the meaning all of this has for the future and as a Monday I hope to be contributing to that debate. But whatever happens the proudest thing in my life is the eight years I've been at your side. We've been proud to have you. So I'm going to have to leave the party because I wouldn't be able to do them in fact. I've been proud to participate even a little while here and this did well deserve farewell. Thank you sir. All right.
