<v President Nixon>: In the Vice Presidential years I stayed at several Gridirons for the few remarks at the end. And you know what? These things I do with these clowns, you know, they have a terrible program with the Radio and Television, you know? A couple of years ago I made a little talk. You know what I mean? The President... first, because of who he is, and second, because he'd say a few things.

00:18.527 --> 00:32.133
<v H.R. Haldeman>: <v Unclear.> Also just you being there adds the entertainment and all that they can get that they can't get otherwise. All you are is a shill for-

00:32.134 --> 00:33.088
<v President Nixon>: I sure am.

00:33.089 --> 00:34.806
<v H.R. Haldeman>: -for their dinner in that respect.

00:34.807 --> 00:41.112
<v President Nixon>: Well, afterwards, what do they want you to do? Go in and have pictures taken with the entertainers. Why? Because that's why the entertainers came.

00:41.113 --> 00:42.163
<v H.R. Haldeman>: That's how they got the entertainers.

00:42.164 --> 01:07.265
<v President Nixon>: So I did that. And of course I met the people who ran the magazine, shook hands with ASCAP and all the other assholes that were there. They had no right to shake hands at all. Boy, it's a pleasure to know it's over. It really is. I've done it for so many years. Hated every one of them. You know, by God.
