 Half of the American people, we're delighted to welcome you to the United States for your 39th Free Men and Women for a good time. Free men and women are themselves the driving force of our future will, dependent on our own freedom, courage, vision, and faith. When our dreams had fared best to release two monstrous times, we're not the most tightly controlled, not necessarily the biggest inside. Easy. We knew that it would require great effort and patience, but we were confident that once our people saw it through, the rewards would be far greater than anticipated. Born in the safe harbor of freedom, economic growth gathered for us and rolled out in the rising tide that has reached distant shores. With 6 million jobs and seen on our expansion sustained by exceptionally low inflation, consumer prices are rising by only around by continuing to restrain the growth of our government spending. We have already cut the rate of that spending by more than half, and we're pushing hard for an amendment to our constitutional productivity. We can create a bounty of new jobs, technologies, and the quality of life surpassing anything that we've ever before dreamed or imagined. I tell you today from my heart, we in America want to share our knowledge and the blessings that were published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, as indicating that governments can best spark economic growth by spending less and cutting tax rate. Your 1984 IMF annual report pointed out that with the progress of economic recovery, such a gear in the world's largest symbol market has meant increased trading opportunities for other nations. A 1% increase in interest rates would increase net interest payments by the non-OPECality saved by only about $2.5 billion. But we're not seeing an increase in interest rates. There's been a slight drop in the last several days, and I believe there will be more of that ahead. So we can be pleased at the improving outlook for the world's economy. We must staunchly resist... If each of us is prepared... Somebody sent me a piece of music here to Jim Teddy. No. Someone wrote what they thought would be a good campaign song. I don't read music, but they sent it. Oh, who was this? This is that song. Who sent it? Well, no, it actually came to me by way of a gallon I used to go to. Oh, he's there. And friends of hers in one garden of Illinois. He wrote it. He'll give it to me on play, I'll see if it's any good. Jim's got it. Okay. I spoke at a fundraiser in Los Angeles at Ginger Archer's Sanger Song before I came on. I was pissed about it, you know? I don't know. Oh, it's pretty to see. I knew I was going to do this. Oh, what's happening? Things... Thanks to you, I met a very terrific guy who I've worked for about the past six weeks. I just... I don't know if you know this or not, but I lived in California when you were 11. And whenever I knew that you had one of the nominations, I made a point after almost 30 years, I said, I have to go register to vote. After. This guy has got to do for the country what he did for California. I knew him and you have. I love him so very much. There's a lot of people in Kentucky that belong to the other party that say, give me my best. They love me very much. And I'm honored that you have given me just a few minutes to say it. So grateful that 60 minutes did what they did so that I could learn about you. I don't know. It's just... I guess he's got a neutral admiration for some of me. Yes. But you've been working on that temporary position and... My boss. He has something for us. There's something I want to give you. Thanks for your help. Thank you very much. You just presented something to me. It's an orphan. Well, yes. Thank you very much. Well, thank you very much. We have something here. Tom Brace, if you're in any of the comments, the president is a souvenir. A souvenir. Thank you for your questions. It's an honor. He is a great fan of yours also. I bless you. I'm looking forward to that. He was a national... The only thing about it, I won't be working for him anymore. I won't be working for him anymore. Of course I knew when I went to work for him. I know that my life, I've been blessed. I really am. I don't feel that I've been picked on or put upon at all. I've been very blessed. And I know that besides the birth of my children, meeting you is the highlight of my life. Well, it really is. But I... I had to tell you on that program, those sons of yours, he said that you were special. I'm really not. Yes, you are. You tell him we're both very special too. I sure am. And I appreciate this opportunity. I know your schedule is busy, so I won't stay. But, I just keep up the good work. You've got four years to do it in a little dark light. I'm a positive thinker. If I can ever do anything, I know it in a mindless way. If I can ever do anything, please let me know. Can I give you a kiss? You can. Give my love to Nancy. She won't mind if I call. Please take care of yourself. You are one of the best for me. I really, you know... That sets me up. I'm just a great fan. So am I. Please take care of yourself. I pray for you, everybody. I think that's really the only answer to a lot of problems. You have a schedule. I know you do. Well, this won't be the last time. Oh, I couldn't get to it again. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've just been looking forward to this for... Well, since I've known that I was coming, I just get more nervous every day. Absolutely. I'm just so honored. I really am. Take care. Can't shake hands with you and say goodbye. Thank you, Mr. President. Can I move over? He's a constituent of mine, Mr. President. I'm mighty proud of him. He's been friends a long time as well. It's just really pleasing. On the true American hero's level. I was astounded at the time driving to London. And you're there. I remember taking a pretty big trip across the ocean. It took seven days just to get there. Yes, sir. But I was going 50 to 60 miles an hour on occasions. And I never had to slow down. I just kept going and left Friday night Thursday afternoon in Montenote, Italy. Sir, this is a flag that I had on board the balloon. And I would like to present it to you, sir. We're very proud to carry our flag. And this was flown all the way up to Montenote, Italy, sir. Well, thank you very much. It's a long flight in the record setting. When he said he set four records on this flight, Mr. President, in addition to being solo flying, he's got the duration and several other records with him, sir. Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Yes, sir, what? I met you in California when we came back. We were honored at a meeting at a dinner out there. And we met you in Michigan. Yes, sir. I was in attendance one of those dinners. Well, I must say two men was one of the great experiences of our life. The first dinner we had one experience that I'll never forget. Two men. Thank you for that. But two men met in our living and heard each other's names through their arms around him. They were the closest of friends. They knew everything about each other's family. They saw each other face to face for the first time in their lives. They had made their friendship tapping on the wall between the two cells. Fantastic. He set a record when he was in the Air Force as well for jumping from Ohio through Maluna 19 miles and going free-falling for 16 miles. I just heard about that. He's got quite a track record. We've been keeping him down there since he retired but he just won't stay still. He has still a lot of adventure left in life. Mr. President. That flight alone was a I just couldn't get over it. And I guess this will be lonely up there. Yes, sir. But I'm a fighter pilot and I'm used to being alone. It was a great adventure, sir. A free-fall, yes. I just heard about that. I remember when I was a kid I used to think that if someone fell a great distance in everything it was all right because they'd be unconscious before. You've disproved that. Yes, sir. There was no jump, sir, or for science and for research and engineering purposes and there was a great reason for those to gather data for our space program. There was no data collected on this flight. It was strictly an adventure just to do it and have it have it ventured. What is the sensation, Mr. President? Is there a free-fall? I was the first man to go super scientific on an airplane during this fall because there's nothing there that you can perceive. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. Thank you. You've got a couple of videos to share. Thank you. Thank you. Don't forget to share it with us. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. I've got the same feeling about the counter. Mention once about many of these. I shouldn't give you any timings. I think we could all understand to reach such a height Yeah, first week yesterday, second two. Now it's Christmas, we go on. Oh my God, I have a lot of backflips. You don't go to holiday time, yeah. I would be picking up sound at all or not? Aw, so, man. Or not very much? Yeah. I would just cut it and go.
