00:00they've had and so I'll just I'll just leave it at that. I don't have any readout of a conversation

00:05between the two of them. Thanks Kareem. So I've spoken to a lot of donors since the debate and

00:13you know they want to know what exactly happened that night. So just to follow up on MJ's question,

00:21I know you said he hadn't taken any cold medication. Was there any other medication

00:26he had taken? That's what many of them are asking. No I understand. I was asked about the cold

00:32medicine. I asked about the cold medicine. He was not taking any cold medicine and I don't have

00:37anything beyond that. I don't have anything beyond that to share and look I've answered

00:42this question multiple times at this point. I don't have anything else to add beyond what I

00:46have shared with your colleagues here in the room. We really truly want to turn the page on this. We

00:54really want to be able to get out there and you know speak directly to the American people.

01:01You know speak directly to you all. The President will and I think that's important too. Look

01:08and not forget what this President has been able to do the last three and a half years.

01:12How he's been able to deliver and there is a stark contrast in what this President has done

01:17and what Republicans in Congress are doing right. He's trying to protect our rights as President.

01:22He's trying to protect our freedoms. He's trying to protect really important programs that matter

01:27to the American people. He wants to protect women's rights Roe v. Wade. He wants to continue to build

01:32an economy that works for all. That's what we're going to focus on and that's what

01:36Americans are going to hear and continue to hear from this President.
