OF THE CAMPAIGN OFFICES WHERE THEY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, DO PHONE
BANKING AND YOU CALL PEOPLE AND SAY, HEY, WILL YOU VOTE FOR
BARACK OBAMA?
AND THEY HANG UP ON YOU OR THEY SAY -- NO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: SO HOW CLOSE ARE YOU
WITH OBAMA NOW?
BECAUSE U'VE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH THE FAMILY, RIGHT?
>> I'M NOT CLOSER THAN, LIKE, I SEE HIM VERY OFTEN OR CALL HIM
OR ANYTHING.

>> I HAVE A -- NO.
SO I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER FOR HIM, BUT I HAVE A NUMBER FOR
HIM.
I HAVE A PERSON THAT I COULD CALL THAT WILL SAY, OKAY, I'LL
HAVE HIM CALL YOU.
THAT'S THE SAME WAY WITH JAY-Z.
JAY-Z AND BARACK OBAMA ARE VERY, VERY SIVMENT BOTH HAVE, LIKE, AN
ASSISTANT THAT YOU HAVE TO CALL, AND THEN YOU GET A CALL FROM A
PRIVATE NUMBER AND IT WANTS EITHER JAY-Z OR BARACK OBAMA.
I NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE IS CALLING WHEN I GET THAT CALL
BACK.
>> James: I FEEL LIKE IF I DID THATS PEOPLE WOULD GO, HE
DOESN'T NEED TO CALL ME BACK.
I'VE GOT THE ONLY ANSWER I NEED AND HE'S DEAD TO ME.
