00:05hey, he can do a lot worse later on.
00:08And so to me that's capitulating to someone who's already showing that he's reckless and
00:12willing to do a lot of destruction.

00:29You see what's happening in the Department of Education, you see what they're threatening
00:32with Social Security, you see what they're threatening with Medicaid.

00:41That to me is just a trap that I'm not willing to step into.
