 Good to see you again. Good to see you. Good to see you. It's good to see you again. I'm glad to see you again. How are you? It's wonderful. How are you? Good to see you again. Thank you. We have one group of photographers coming in here who just won't talk for a minute while they snap their cameras. At least in America I don't know if there's a few things that should be changed. Now that's right. I should stop by. I should see the panel on Cannelle once because back in my picture days, the greatest picture I was ever in, a movie from the novel King's Row. So we got on the ship and spent his time reading the book. Well, there was a part of the book that could not possibly, an important part, be put on the screen in those days of our motion picture correction of our self-censorship. And he got so mad at the studio for giving this assignment that he went to the rail and he threw the book as far out into the Cannelle as he could throw it. And then halfway up the Atlantic coast the thought came to him of how he could solve that problem and he didn't have the book. So he couldn't do any screenplay or any work on the entire cruise. So I'd like to see the, as I say the picture turned out, it's been called one of the best 10 movies made and I'd like to see the grave where it almost died a warning. You know, we still may find a book that is important to great respect and great friends. First of all, I want to tell you what the support of the government has given us. We were glad to do it and we appreciate very much what it is, the economic situation that you're doing down there. It's a very delicate moment and as I mentioned to you last time, my first year was going to be a very rough one because the democratic process is going to be very bad and the problems are going to face. Well I think they're waiting for us out there in your family. Take 30 seconds to go in the scenario. We're going to have everybody go on here first and the president be right behind you. The president will go out and bring the team first and then speak for a few minutes. And the president will finish his Mr. Stern on the stand. We're going to make some brief remarks. I'm going to introduce the team of residents. Okay, very good. He'll bring them first, then speak, and then you can go right in with the jersey followed by Magic Johnson who's out there. He's going to give you a ball, followed by Coach Riley who's going to give you a championship t-shirt. The way we did it last year, Mr. President, I just say Mr. President, I present to you the champion. I shouldn't shake hands with them first, should I? No, we were going to go out. The first thing the president was going to do was shake hands before he goes to the post and we still did that. Yes, yes. In other words, all I'm doing is I'm just introducing Pat, Kuying, and Magic for purposes of coming up to this one. Okay, you go out and shake hands, then you'll speak first, followed by Mr. Stern, followed by Coach Kuying, and Magic. I saw everybody through the window starting to clap, and I just realized the team must have worked it out there. Pat, I didn't think it would be the last time I did one. Mr. President, come to a leg again at the forum this year as our guest. We'd like to invite you. I'd like that, but I don't know whether they'll permit it because it seems that I'm kind of a hazard. Right now, I can't even go to church. My assistant coach, Phil Burton, is saying that he has an awesome thing. You go to the ranch? Yeah. I need to go to a game, as they say, I can't even go to church because I can't represent a friend. How's my fellow yoga students, Patty and Paul, who? Patty and Paul. Oh, for heaven's sakes. Well, we take the same yoga classes. Well, we'll be seeing them very shortly. Tell us about it. Well, I sure will. Come on, guys. The United States. These are the ones that deserve the applause, and it is we who today will say, hail to the Lakers. White House, your entire championship series down to yesterday's great win was an inspiration. And all of you showed America what it's going to accomplish when they're combined with some of the best talent on the floor. Yesterday afternoon, a real showtime in the Boston Garden, and your victory is even though you were playing in Boston, it wasn't going to be any tea party. Karim says that yesterday's victory was just like the Brooklyn Dodgers breakthrough against the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. Well, Karim, I remember that series, so I think you may be, as they sometimes say of me, showing your experience. Yesterday, all you showed was why so many said 61 seconds left in the game was truly a thing of beauty. All I can say is we're all looking forward to series with 84 assists, breaking the record for a six-game championship series by an awesome 24. America believe in magic, you bet we do. Some may have thought the Celtics, I don't know what all those sirens are doing, we're all here. But James, if you're ever thinking of a career after basketball, we've got some lobbying work up on Capitol Hill we could use you for. Kurt Rambus and Mitch Kupjac also get great credit for their tenacious and aggressive play. And I think Kurt ought to win an etiquette award for the play enough credit to go around. Though you've got your full coming with strategy and the never say die encouragement, but it went into making you number one. And I understand that the Lakers family has not only you and I are for your important work in this area. Mr. President, play lead to success. It is my honor as commissioner of the NBA to present to you the 1985 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers who will be represented at the podium by the captain Karim Abdul-Jabbar, the irrepressible Magic Johnson and the head coach Pat Riley. I guess I'm next. This is just another one of our gifts to say thank you for having us here. And what more can I say? I think Karim said it all and this is just great being here. Mr. President, for being able to come to the White House because we know that there's only one other place other than Los Angeles that there's a winner and that's here. So we appreciate that. We also know that occasionally you like the head west. I just have to explain something. The reason that they had to bend over to reach the microphone was because if I put it up at their height there's no way I could stretch that high but they could always bend down a little bit. I appreciate you doing that. Thank you all very much. Already prepared. Why are you sticking with it after having criticized it? It's all in a statement. It's all been prepared. Read it. Russia may not like what you've done today anyway. I'm here to play basketball today. Thank you all for what you're doing. That's just wonderful. Nancy hears about this. She's going to be very, very proud and excited. Thank you all. Thank you. Bye-bye. Give us something. I just don't want you to forget completely. I don't know whether you have a better Western Belt throw or not. Oh, yes. I don't think so. Fuck your loose dots here. These are conflicts. It's too small. Well, you can't see. I'd just like to point out a little historic note. Yes. If you look up there, that's the same seam that is here. If you look on that old desk there, the eagle is pointing the opposite way. Oh, by Jordan. The human changed. The eagle was always looking in the arrows, and he changed the cookies at the outlet range. Oh. Well, that's a nice touch. Well, whatever. Oh, no, I think- Both in their place. There were two. Yes. That's great. This is beautiful. I think Frank turned the emblem around on the Department of Interior. Yes. And I think that made it to the right. He made that a lot. I don't know what to do with that. Yeah. Well, this is an honor to be here. I appreciate it. I'm very busy. You are. I thoroughly enjoyed the interior. Bill Clark was a great boss, and Don Waddell was doing a great job. Well, good. I'm carrying out your programs over there. And it was exciting for me because having a legal background to see these bread and scope of the problems and issues. Yeah. Amazing. A little of everything. Yes. I'm going to tell you that. Yes. I'm glad it's great. As we move it back to Sacramento, we'll be in retirement and enjoying life and my family. Taking care of those we can. Thank you very much. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good to see you again. Good to see you again. Thank you for seeing us. Good to see you again. Good to see you again. Stay safe. Bye. We'll see you again.
