Hello.
Mr. James Johnson, Mr. President.
Hello.
Mr. President?
Yes, I just wanted to tell you I heard about your boy and I just want to wish you the very best and you tell him we're praying for him and we know he's going to come out of it.
Mr. President, that's awesome of you to say that.
Well, this is one of those things that happens that...
But I know that it's going to be very hard for you and your family, but you and your wife.
But just stick in there.
We shall, and we're praying every day to keep the faith.
And I talked to Billy Graham the other day.
He said you were going to Wheaton.
Yes, sir.
Right.
Well, I'm glad you're going out there.
I spoke there many years ago.
Oh, wonderful.
When I was running for vice president.
Oh, I see.
You can say that when you speak with the president.
I spoke there many years ago before most of them were born.
I certainly will.
Okay.
I will.
Thank you very much.
Good luck to you.
Yes, sir.
Bye.
