Just while you were reading the campaign, Billy Graham called, and I took the call.
He said he'd call back a little later.
Now he's doing that now.
And he has nothing, and I can hold him up if you'd like.
He just said he wanted to talk to you in general, especially about this.
Why don't we let it go tomorrow?
Because I've got to get you to your meeting in a couple of minutes.
He said, I don't know.
He said, he's calling now.
Yes, sir.
He's really just trying to give me the number in case you have the time to call back.
He said if nothing hurts you at all.
I talked to him for a good five minutes.
He's in San Francisco.
He just didn't want to pass on here.
What's he doing there?
I don't know what he's doing.
He's moving around.
He said he could be a certain number after the administration's gone just to pass on.
They have the number of the very operator?
Yes, that's what he's doing now.
I'll just make sure they lock him.
We'll get straight to locking him down.
I don't know if I get through this.
He's giving me a lot of color back.
