00:00Yesterday and today, Senate Majority Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson both said that President Trump is just joking about running for a third term in office.
00:13Do you have any opinion on that? And even if he is joking, is it something to joke about?
00:20It's incredibly dangerous, but Donald Trump knew what he was dealing with when he pulled into that show.
00:27It's not a coincidence that he is trying to distract the American public. He wants all of you to write these articles.
00:34He wants all of us to talk about them.
00:37Because our national security is at risk with the people he has placed in the national security apparatus,
00:43because he is attacking Social Security and House Democrats will have a hearing about that this afternoon,
00:51and because his tariffs are going to raise costs, which he says he couldn't care less about,
00:57those are the important issues that affect families in this country.
01:02And the fact that Donald Trump is throwing this out and trying to wish-cast it so House Republicans can talk about it
01:11and can talk about him in a loving and caring way, he does not love and care for Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security.
01:18He only cares about his own political self-interest, but House Republicans are signing up to that vanity project
01:25when we should be talking about the costs that Americans are facing,
01:29and those will continue to go up because of Donald Trump's carelessness and his policies that they're implementing this week.
01:35Thank you so much.
