 14 July 1988, we are in Illinois. Yeah, that's where you show the camera. Well, it still kills the picture. We're right where the red and white is. Yeah. Yeah, well, we can tell by him standing there. When we can see him, we know that. And you can see a grown man standing up here. We had enough of the pole. It just doesn't cut it. What do you want to do? It's got to be away from the post. We know it's short when he can be seen over it. Right. Right. Driving the tractor. You're right. Yes. All of this is. The eyes and ears of the colleagues. Right. It's a tremendous responsibility. I know they're going to want to know. Every move. You got a lot to learn there, man. Put the mic down. Thank you. President, what do you think of all this? Well, I think it's a great tragedy as anyone can see. The silk and then creates the ears of corn. But this is coming out the task. No silk yet. And thus these could look green as they do now and no ears of corn on any of them. The rabbit ribbons, I'm sure you know. That is where it should normally be at this time. You can see the difference in where it is. Have you seen a drought like this before, Mr. President? Have you personally seen a drought like this before? Yep. I'm old enough. I mean, of this extent and this severity? Well, there was the great famous dust storm in the 30-1936. Does this compare to that? This is more widespread. Yes. More than that one was. That came from further to the west. I told them about it. I was broadcasting a Chicago Cups game. In the 15th inning of that game it had to be called because of the dust storm. Couldn't see the players or the things. I had to call a dealer. Mr. President, are you concerned about all the amendments that are being tacked on to the emergency relief bill? The only thing I'd like to correct, I hope, is that they're not being tacked on. I know they're trying to tack them on. And I hope that they're not getting away with it. Well, how are you going to do that? How are you going to approach that? How are you going to approach that? Are you going to strong arm these senators you got with here? Well, there are a lot of people that it's certainly our effort on this is really bipartisan. We've got 100 people waiting for this. But you're afraid it's going to be a Christmas tree when it comes out? Well, I don't know. That's always a possibility. But at the same time, I believe that we've got partnership. Mr. President, could the drought become a political issue in the fall? Some talk that the Democrats might try to seize on this summer and this fall. Are you concerned about that? I think they'd have a little difficulty. They blame it for everything else. I think they'd have a little difficulty for saying that I didn't think about keeping it to spring.
