[0:10] If you have his name... [0:12] Yes, I have. [0:14] Would you just call the White House operator and ask her to get her on the phone for me? [0:19] All right. [0:19] She probably can call the general. [0:23] She's probably there for her birthday or something. [0:25] Probably, although the address they gave me for her was in Los Angeles. [0:29] Rather than Redlands, I see. [0:31] Okay. [0:32] Well, I think the White House operators, they don't know how to get her, you know, get a hold of the general and say the president wants to talk to his mother on the phone and then tell her to put it through. [0:41] I'm in the EOB office. [0:43] EOB office. [0:44] Uh-huh. [0:44] Sam?
