 As long as it's a date to call, it's if you need anything, if anything goes wrong. I appreciate it, I realize you're giving me these few minutes of time. Please do. I feel I've gotten to know you very well. There are many other sources reading about what you're talking to a lot of people about younger people and things, about views you perhaps don't see. And it's primarily a spirit, Mr. President, of beautifulism, and the setting of the context of all events and all of this and so forth. I'm just coming to grips with, you know, kind of making these connections. I remember that it seems to be as well, I'm trying to deal with that, and that's where I am right now. But I would just love to ask you a couple of questions if I might. I would take a lot of your time. I, first of all, want to acknowledge that I think your administration has made a significant difference in the United States. So I start from there, but I would just like to have you tell me in a couple of minutes how you feel about your first turn so far in my view, with the country, turning the country around in some way. When I have felt for a long time that the people in this country were agree for what you might call a spiritual revival, return to values, to things they believed in and held dear, and when the Teddy Roosevelt said this office was a bully pulpit, and I decided that if it was possible for me to help in that revival, I wanted to do that. I feel very strongly that you go down to the very tough questions, the tough problems. Ask yourself not whether it's political or whether it's against you, you have to ask yourself what to the best of my ability do I conceive. That's right. Mr. President, this is not a loaded question. I didn't come here to ask loaded questions. So if I say it in a way that sounds like I'm trying to set you up for something I am not, and I want to put you to rest about that, but assuming, I won't even say it that way, looking ahead to the future. As I say, I believe that your administration has made some change in the country. I think it's obvious. I sense it out in the land as I talk to the people. If nothing else, there's a certain confidence on that down press floor. I assume that your turnaround on the company institutions and so forth, I presume you don't believe that's fully completed yet. Would you do anything different, more intensely, or anything in the future from this time forward? And I'm not talking about whether you're going to run again or anything like that. Well, if I had that opportunity, so far we've had to be dealing with immediate problems. We've had to be dealing with the recession, with the world the way it is, and the Trumpist boss where we're involved. And I believe involved because it is an armed national. I'm personally involved. If there was more time, I would like to feel that we could then make some of these things that we've accomplished, use the size of government and so forth, that we could make them over, install them so that they would be around for a while. Yes, yes. And I think of them actually in terms of getting this government back. This is something new. But getting the government back to where it once was and where it should be. For example, I believe very strongly that one of the great secrets of our individual freedom is the fact that we were created uniquely in all the world to be a federation of sovereign states. As a matter of fact, I remember in 1932 the Democratic platform upon which Franklin Delano Roosevelt ran at that time, one of its planks had to do with restoring to states and local communities the authority and autonomy that had been unjustly seized by the federal government. And it also called for a reduction in the power and the cause and the size of the federal government. Well, our federalism program is based on that same idea. Of course, that platform was never implemented even though they won the election. And I was a Democrat at the time, I voted that way. But yes, I think there are things that can be, I would like to see completely permanent, of course, but that would put the government into a different basis, a different direction. You're optimistic, Sarah, about the possibilities of making those things more permanent. I use terminology perhaps incorrectly of some of the institutions of government being changed enough so that whether you're here or not, that they wouldn't be turned around quickly. Are you optimistic about that? Yes, I really am because I'm optimistic about the people of this country. We started to think of a private initiative and this was to persuade private groups, in the private sector, to do many things that over recent years we've just taken for granted. Only the government and the court should do. And the response has been unbelievable all over this country. We have here now, we have a permanent office here for the private initiative, the private sector, this type of work. They have a computer with more than 3,000 programs in it that are being performed out in the country some place in communities and states by private enterprise groups, local government groups, from neighborhood groups, a tremendous size of undertakings. To give you an example of that, one day in a ceremony out here in the Rose Garden, a little nun here temporarily from Ghana where she has a clinic there, a medical base out there in the undeveloped country. She whispered to me that her commissary, for helping the hungry there, that they just for a desperate need of flour. And I whispered back, I would see what we could do. When I came in I called our private initiative office. Just told them about the situation. They called back and said 3,000 pounds of flour. Right. Later, her commissary. That's the way it should be there. That's the way it should be. Let me just shift one year's going quickly to another arena for you, sir. I might just, on the matter of optimism, are you optimistic about dealing with the Soviet Union in the future? And I'm not, again, no setup. I don't have anything in mind. I'm just thinking about, you know, the international area, which I happen to think centers around so much about dealing with the Soviet Union. How do you feel about the future? Well, I think the tragedy of the airplane revealed to many people that some of the things that I had been trying to call with their attention were true, that you don't deal with them and seeing them in a mirror image. But I also believe that they're very practical about their own welfare. And I have an optimism based on the fact that the idea that if we can show them, not appealing to them as this is a nice thing to do, show them that they can actually be better off and that their own safety and their own living standards and all could be benefited by a different approach than they presently have. That peace would be very beneficial to them. And I just believe that the practicalities are such that if we can make them see some of these points, they might turn not because they've had a change of character, but because they choose to their own advantage to do these things. That's fine. Let me just stop and conclude by just telling you something that, first of all, my boss is Pat Robertson, who I think you know and you've met a few times and he just sends his warmest regards to you. I wanted to share a little anecdote with you. On Fridays, we have our entire company, which consists of about 1,300 people and about 300 students as well, who gather together every Friday for a prayer meeting. And I know personally that they prayed for you and your administration at a great length today. I'd like for you to know that. A little cameraman said to me, he knew I was coming to see you and he said, Bob, will you tell the president that we're praying for him? And I said, he knows it. He says, I really mean it. Would you tell him we're praying for us? But would you tell him thanks? Because I happen to believe very firmly and deeply in intercessionary prayer. I know you do. And I think that I feel the strength because that is going on. It is. And people are doing that. I've been told by others. Yes, I know that. So would you give him my heartfelt thanks? I'll do that. And you might tell him a little anecdote for me. When I first became governor, it seemed the situation was pretty much like it was here at the federal government. It seemed as if every morning when I sat down at my desk there was somebody in front of the desk to tell me we had another problem. And it became an almost irresistible physical urge of mine. I really mean this, to turn and look over my shoulder as if there's someone maybe I could turn to and say, hey, we have a problem. And then one day I just realized that I was turning in the wrong direction. And I started looking up and said over my shoulder and things immediately got better. I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. Mr. President, I appreciate you. And I'd like you as a brother and a lord very much. I hope that's not just presumptuous for me and awesome. Thank you, sir. God bless you. Thank you. Bob, thanks. I'll see you back in the office. I think we have somebody who will go right out through the office. I'll put the departure.
