[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Mr. James Johnson, Mr. President.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:05] Mr. President?
[0:05] 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.
[0:15] Mr. President, that's awesome of you to say that.
[0:18] Well, this is one of those things that happens that...
[0:21] But I know that it's going to be very hard for you and your family, but you and your wife.
[0:26] But just stick in there.
[0:29] We shall, and we're praying every day to keep the faith.
[0:32] And I talked to Billy Graham the other day.
[0:35] He said you were going to Wheaton.
[0:37] Yes, sir.
[0:37] Right.
[0:38] Well, I'm glad you're going out there.
[0:40] I spoke there many years ago.
[0:42] Oh, wonderful.
[0:44] When I was running for vice president.
[0:48] Oh, I see.
[0:48] You can say that when you speak with the president.
[0:50] I spoke there many years ago before most of them were born.
[0:53] I certainly will.
[0:54] Okay.
[0:55] I will.
[0:55] Thank you very much.
[0:56] Good luck to you.
[0:57] Yes, sir.
[0:57] Bye.
