I think, you know, my largest takeaway from the debate was that he no longer wants to do the job.
1:53
He doesn't want to face his constituents.
1:55
He doesn't want to take tough questions from the press.
1:58
To me, that is a large part of the job.

I'm happy that our governors across the country, at least 40 of them, members of both political parties, are engaging in tabletop exercises to make sure that our elections can go off without a hitch.

66:31
But tariffs that change on a daily, weekly, monthly basis are crippling our farmers and their attacks on our families to the tune of one thousand to five thousand dollars.
