Transcript (Download)

to be president of the new world.

I don't know of any better ambassador the United States of America to have all over the world most of which is non -white to cement the people of the world together with the aspirations and the hopes and the goals of the three people of the United States of America.

He tells it as it is.

He loves this country but he also knows we have imperfections and we must make ourselves pure from the ideals that have been kept just in the heart.

I want to say that we also have a fear that our greatest fears can really keep us from the wildest people of the world.

It has inspired all of us to unite here as one people not looking to each other's minds but looking to each other's hearts and respecting what is the common dignity of every man.

I'm going to invite all of you on out.

We've all come.

The problem this campaign faces is that many voters even those who like John Anderson think he simply cannot win.

That a vote for him would be nothing more than a symbolic gesture.

But at this point with the campaign so low in the polls, John Anderson would be glad to settle for any support, symbolic or otherwise.

The Anderson campaign.

How do you make sure you know.

I feel so good all of a sudden.

Is everybody having a good time? Oh, yeah.

We're going to keep it moving.

We'd like to do another one right here for everybody that feels like the woman buggy.

I'm trying to make a living.

Trying to make a living.

I'm trying to make a living.

Let's think of it.

I'm trying to make a living.

I'm trying to make a living.

Let's think of it.

I'm a police copier.

I'm trying to make a living.

Let's think of it.

You look as sweet as you can be.

Come on down and have a.

Space and the standard of exhibits on the whole is the most interesting fair that I've come across in the States.

I mean, I think there's no doubt about it.

There's a style to it that unfortunately has been missing from other fairs.

house game automatically sage ha ha ha Yeah! Take those things as givens and continue from there.

The format is going to be very simple.

We'll have a discussion up here for an hour, an hour and 15 minutes, depending on how the flow of things go.

And then we will take questions from you for the next half hour or so until the evening is out.

The moderator of tonight's discussion is Marianne Childers of Channel 7, Eyewitness News.

I'm very, very pleased that she is here to take this on.

I thank you all for coming, and I'm looking forward to tonight.

Word, it lives.

Yeah, some more words.

It's there forever.

That's all? There must be more.

That was Zygomatic Mama saying, uh.

That's the best word on this situation.

Just go, just go work.

The staff has changed.

The architect that was helping me is gone.

I haven't been here for two months.

I'm a stranger.

I mean, there's no way they can send me out.

Can you paint? That's what I'm going to be.

Yeah, that's a mistake.

But I have to get out, and that's the way it is.

Can you paint over this? I know I can.

I have found a paint that will do it.

But it's got a different look to it.

You see how much it's like on this wall here.

It's just much thicker.

I suppose as long as I have enough of those things going on, some that you have to be up close to, some that you have to be far away from, that's the hope of the experience, of it's continually changing and shifting as you're going around looking at it.

Grab everything.

It's just a very funny feeling, that's all.

Oh, that's a wonderful page.

Yeah, well, they've certainly documented it already.

Did you see that one last night? The blow -up of that looked beautiful.

It looked fabulous.

Just beautiful.

I cannot imagine discussing art in front of a group of those people.

I don't know how to do it.

When you're photographing it, how many times...

It looks nice with you in front of it.

Doesn't it? With the beige.

That ain't bad.

The Marine is looking for a few good men.
