  Speaker 1: the days that were in DC, as they right now
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: are bringing the former president, the thirty ninth president into
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the Capitol rotunda. Saw over the weekend this touching story
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: by Chip Carter I'm referring to. He said this about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: his father's dedication as a parent.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: When I was in the eighth grade, I failed. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: brought home at Christmas f in Latin. I didn't see
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: any reason to learn Latin. Nobody I knew spoke it
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: very much. My father was not pleased, and so the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: next morning he came into my room and said, we
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: were on Christmas vacation. He said, you have your Latin book.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I said yes, He said, let.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Me have it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: He went to work at Carters Warehouse, and when he
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: came home that night, we spent an hour and a
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: half him teaching me Latin that he had learned from
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: my book that day. He did that every day of
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Christmas vacation and the first day of the school year.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: After Christmas, I went to my teacher and asked if
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: she let me take the fi over again that she
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: had given us the midterm test and she said yes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: So after school that day I took that test and
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I made a hundred. I owed it to my father,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: who spent that kind of time with me. It was
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: an amazing man, and he was held up and propped
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: up and soozing man, and that was difficult for all
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: of us, but he was an amazing man, and he
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: was held up and propped up and soothed by an
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: amazing woman.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: And the two of them together changed the world because
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: it was an amazing thing to watch from so close
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: and to be able to be involved him. I'll thank
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you for your service.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Pretty moving, if you ask me.

• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Michael J. Fox, Magic Johnson, I guess Hillary Clinton as
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: well as George Soros. It's been a whirlwind of a week,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: hasn't it. And we're only at Tuesday. Along the Washington
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: streets they have literally blocked off today for the former president.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And I mean, if this doesn't get you choked up,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: If this doesn't get you choked up, I don't know
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: what it will. I mean, this motorcade is really something special.
