[000:04:19;092] HE'S GOVERNIWANG THE HE'S
[000:04:21;427] COMFORTABLE WITH GOVERNING.
[000:04:22;662] HE BELIEVES AT THE END OF THE
[000:04:23;396] DAY IT'S THE RESULT THAT WILL
[000:04:27;467] INDICATE WHETHER OROT HE'S A
[000:04:29;035] SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN.
[000:04:30;370] IS HE ECONOMY GROWING, DID WE
[000:04:32;338] DEFEAT ISIS, DO PEOPLE FEEL
[000:04:33;940] GREATER SECURITY.

[000:04:36;075] PUTTING HIS TRUST IN THE
[000:04:37;610] AMERICAN PELE.
[000:04:38;378] THEY'LL LIKE THE RESULTS.
[000:04:40;079] >> Woodruff: JOH JOHN JEAN-PT
[000:04:47;020] DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT.
[000:04:48;955] >> I HAVE TO TELL YOU I HATE THE
[000:04:51;257] WERE PRESIDENTIAL RIGHT NOW
[000:04:53;359] BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT
[000:04:54;727] MATTERS
[000:04:55;094] THIS TO ME DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL
[000:04:57;330] BECAUSE HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO
[000:04:58;264] STAY A THE TELEPROMPTER BUT WE
[000:05:00;033] KNOW WHO TRUMPIS REA ONCE
[000:05:02;268] HE'S OFF THE TEL TELL PARLIAMENT
[000:05:07;740] IT'S THE KIND OF PRESIDENTIAL
[000:05:09;042] TRUMP WILL STAY FOR AN HOUR OR
[000:05:11;477] DAY BUT WE DON'T LIKE WHO HE IS.
[000:05:14;747] >> Woodruff: THERE THEY ARE
[000:05:15;782] ANNOUNCING HIM NOW.
[000:05:18;518] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[000:05:26;125] THIS IS THE WAY IT BEEN DONE
[000:05:27;894] PRESIDENT AFTER PRESIDENT.
[000:05:28;561] >> SINCE HARRY TRUMAN, 1947.
[000:05:31;731] IT WAS ON TELEVISION THE FIRST
[000:05:38;538] TIME.
[000:05:38;838] >> Woodruff: DAVID, HE MAN
[000:05:39;739] HIS WAY DOW THE AISLE.
[000:05:41;074] AGAIN WE'VE SEEN THIS TEAM SO
[000:05:43;910] MANY TIMES BEFORE.
[000:05:44;744] IT'S USUALLY THE MEMBERS OF THE
[000:05:46;579] PRESIDENT'S OWN PARTY WHO IS THE
[000:05:49;182] CLOSEST.
[000:05:49;649] IT'SNYNTERESTING TO SEE IF A
[000:05:50;450] DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO BENG
[000:05:52;118] REACHIUT.
[000:05:52;552] >> IF I WAS A GOOD REPORTER I
[000:05:54;554] WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AT 5. :00
[000:05:58;291] P.MHEN THEY WERE AROUND THE
[000:05:59;592] AISLE SEATS TO GET A SHOT.
[000:06:01;427] THERE WAS A LOT OF BONUS FOE
[000:06:04;964] PULL SO -- PEOPLE SO PROBABLY A
[000:06:08;768] LOT LESS.
[000:06:09;135] >> I JUST WANTED TOIS DAGREE
[000:06:11;204] WITH DAVID EARLIER IN THE
[000:06:12;505] EVENING AND THAT IS IT MAKES A
[000:06:14;674] DIFFERENCE WHAT THE PRESIDENT
[000:06:15;975] PROPOSES.
[000:06:16;342] THE ONLY TIME IT MAKES A
[000:06:17;477] DIFFERENCE WHAT THE PRESIDENT
[000:06:18;511] PROPOSED WAS 1965 WHEN LYNDON
[000:06:20;847] JOHNSON PROPOSED MEDICARE,
[000:06:23;483] EDICAID, VOTING RIGHTS AND
[000:06:26;018] REALLY CHANGED AND AID
[000:06:29;389] EDUCATION.
[000:06:30;356] HE HAD 290 DEMOCRATS IN THE
[000:06:31;457] HOUSE AND 68 IN THE SENATE.
[000:06:33;559] DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A
[000:06:35;595] GOVERNING LEGISLATIVE MAJORITY
[000:06:37;263] NOR COALITIOAT THIS POINT.
[000:06:38;464] SO HE COULD PROPOSE --
[000:06:44;704] >> KEEP PLAYING IT BACK TO SAY
[000:06:49;275] WHY IS HE.
[000:06:49;809] BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[000:06:50;810] >> IT MATTERS TREMENDOUSLY
[000:06:52;678] WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION.
[000:06:53;880] THE STATE OF THE UNION IS THE
[000:06:56;149] MARCHING ORDERS WITHIN THE
[000:06:57;049] PEOPLE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.
[000:06:59;152] IGRT'S A EAT DOCUMENT.
[000:07:00;686] >> IT'S A GREAT DOCUMENT TO GET
[000:07:02;188] LISTED IN.
[000:07:02;855] >> Woodruff: WHILE WE DISCUSS
[000:07:04;223] WHAT HE IS OR ISN'T GOING TO GET
[000:07:05;958] DONE, THE PRESI IS MAKING
[000:07:06;726] HIS WAY DOWN THE CENTER AISLE IN

[000:08:44;090] >> THE BOYCOTTS TOO.
[000:08:46;626] THE DEMOCRATS BOYCOTTED.
[000:08:48;060] I THINK THERE ARE 13 DEMOCRATS
[000:08:49;161] WE KNOW OF WHO SAID THEY ARE NOT
[000:08:51;397] GOING TONIGHT.
[000:08:52;098] I THINK EIGHT OF THEM FROM THE

[000:08:56;903] THERE ARE A FEW A HAND FULL OF
[000:08:59;238] OTHERS AS WELL.
[000:08:59;906] BUT RIGHT NOW THE APPLAUSE IS
[000:09:03;943] TYPICAL FOR MOST PRESIDENTS.
