[0:00] Just while you were reading the campaign, Billy Graham called, and I took the call.
[0:14] He said he'd call back a little later.
[0:18] Now he's doing that now.
[0:19] And he has nothing, and I can hold him up if you'd like.
[0:20] He just said he wanted to talk to you in general, especially about this.
[0:21] Why don't we let it go tomorrow?
[0:22] Because I've got to get you to your meeting in a couple of minutes.
[0:23] He said, I don't know.
[0:24] He said, he's calling now.
[0:24] Yes, sir.
[0:25] He's really just trying to give me the number in case you have the time to call back.
[0:26] He said if nothing hurts you at all.
[0:29] I talked to him for a good five minutes.
[0:46] He's in San Francisco.
[0:47] He just didn't want to pass on here.
[0:47] What's he doing there?
[0:48] I don't know what he's doing.
[0:48] He's moving around.
[0:49] He said he could be a certain number after the administration's gone just to pass on.
[0:51] They have the number of the very operator?
[0:52] Yes, that's what he's doing now.
[0:52] I'll just make sure they lock him.
[0:53] We'll get straight to locking him down.
[0:54] I don't know if I get through this.
[0:55] He's giving me a lot of color back.
