06:13In 2004, I had the pleasure of having my friend Steve McKeever
06:22come to Wonderland Studios
06:25and he said to me, there's someone named Barack Obama
06:31who wants to ask you to run
06:36to ask me to have you possibly come and do a performance as he's running for senator.
06:46So I said, so bring him down.
06:49Let's do it.
06:51So he came down and it's him and Barack
06:55I remember we sat in front of the studio in Wonderland
06:59he was talking and we had some words to say
07:01I think he said, let me try to get Michelle on the phone
07:03it never happened, I don't know.
07:05But we were talking and we kept talking
07:07and he said, yeah, I would love for you to come
07:11I said, it would be my joy to come
07:14to support you.
07:17I said, but you know what?
07:18If I'm talking to you
07:21in my spirit
07:24because here I'm telling you
07:25something that's not political
07:27but it's spiritual
07:30I said, in my spirit
07:32I know that you're running to be a senator
07:35but I'm seeing you as being a president.
07:40I said, let's pray on it.
07:43And so we prayed on it.
07:46And now we see
07:49with fear
07:51faith without fear
07:53and faith living in truth
07:55and understanding that the spirit
07:59is that we have to follow that spirit
08:01of positivity
