[00:00:00]So wonderful to meet you. Yes, James.

[00:00:02]So nice to meet you. It's an honor. Nice meeting you. I need you to learn how to cut a rug. Okay.

[00:00:10]>> [laughter] >> Understood. Okay, I'll do it on your 100th birthday.

[00:00:15]All right, you got it. You got it. You got it filmed. All right.

[00:00:19]You got to hold politicians accountable for their promises.

[00:00:22]And there's so much that needs to be done. And there's lots and lots that has to be taught. Yeah. And I know things are better, but they can get a heck of a lot better than they are.

[00:00:37]Amen. So, [snorts] you young people keep working at it. Yeah. Well, we're going to follow your lead. And us old folk I'll keep pushing. Please do.

[00:00:47]That's right. I'm going to be around here to show some youngsters how it's how it's done for a little while longer.

[00:00:55]So, I'm going to keep on working.

[00:00:59]Keep on walking and talking.

[00:01:02]And somebody's going to listen. We'll be there walking with you.

[00:01:06]I'm going to be around here to urge you to do it even if I am coming up on a 100. [laughter] You stay honest. Oh, I'm going to be here to see that some things are done. That's right.

[00:01:20]Well, thank you, Dr. Lee. This is so wonderful to meet you. It's really an honor. Really. It's one of the highlights of the campaign trail. How about that? Definitely.

[00:01:30]Well, put your cameras up and get to the table and see >> [laughter] >> if you can find you something to eat.
