00:00 Oh, I get that. I get that. Okay. PBS. Ms. Lopez.
00:12 Mr. President, thank you. If I may, I have a breaking news question and then an Israel
00:16 one. First, after 22 days, House Republicans just elected Mike Johnson of Louisiana as
00:22 the Speaker of the House. Johnson advocated conspiracy theories about voting machines
00:27 in a rigged election in 2020. He encouraged his colleagues to join a lawsuit to invalidate
00:33 the results of four states. So if you win reelection in 2024, are you worried that a
00:38 Speaker Johnson would again attempt to overturn the election?
00:42 No. Why not?
00:44 Because he can't. Look, just like I was not worried that the last guy would be able to
00:49 overturn the election. They have about 60 lawsuits and all the way to the Supreme Court
00:54 and every time they lost. I understand the Constitution.
