00:02Well, thank you very much.

00:07This is an honor, a tremendous honor.

00:09I brought some of our compatriots along with us.

00:12They're going to do a beautiful job for you for

00:14the next four years.

00:15And it's really been something very special.

00:19And I have to say, Time Magazine getting this

00:23honor for the second time, I think I like it better

00:26this time, actually.

00:27But we did a good job.

00:30We had a great first term, despite a lot of turmoil

00:33caused unnecessarily.

00:35And but the media's tamed down a little bit.

00:37They're liking us much better now, I think.

00:40If they don't, we'll have to just take them on again.

00:42And we don't want to do that.

00:44But I do want to thank Time Magazine.

00:46I've been on the cover many times.

00:47I don't know who has the record, but I can only

00:49probably talk well about 25 percent of the covers.

00:53Twenty-five percent are great.

00:54The others, I just sort of hide.

00:56But it's been an honor.

00:57And every time it's an honor, I will tell you.

00:59And thank you very much for doing it.

01:01And.
