00:00Thank you, Mr. President.

00:03Presidency is the most straining job in the world, and it's 24-7.

00:07How can you say you'll be up for that next year, in two years, in four years, given the

00:11limits you've acknowledged that you have today?

00:16The limits I've acknowledged I have?

00:19There's been reporting that you've acknowledged that you need to go to bed earlier and you're

00:23evening around eight.

00:24That's not true.

00:26What I said was, instead of my every day starting at seven and going to bed at midnight, it'd

00:35be smarter for me to pace myself a little more.

00:38And I said, for example, the eight, seven, six stuff, instead of starting the fundraiser

00:43at nine o'clock, start at eight o'clock.

00:46People get to go home by 10 o'clock.

00:48That's what I'm talking about.

00:50I'm not talking about...

00:51And if you look at my schedule since I made that stupid mistake in the debate, I mean,

01:00my schedule has been full bore.

01:03I've done...

01:04And where's Trump been?

01:05Riding around in his golf cart, filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball?

01:08I mean, look, he's done virtually nothing.

01:13And I have, I don't know how many, don't hold me to it, roughly 20 major events.

01:19Someone with thousands of people showing up.

01:22And so I just think it's better...

01:27I always have an inclination, whether I was playing sports or doing politics, just to

01:34keep going, not stop.

01:35I just got to just pace myself a little more.

01:39Pace myself.

01:40And the next debate, I'm not going to be traveling in the 15 time zones a week before.

01:46Anyway, that's what it was about.

01:49That's what it was about.

01:50And by the way, even with that, I love my staff, but they add things, add things all

01:57the time.

01:58At the very end, I'm catching hell for my wife for that.

02:02Anyway.
