00:00Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for,

00:05to see each other not as adamant to worry about it.

00:07Anyway, Mr. President, you are a...

00:14It's very heartbreaking.

00:16I mean, it's not like a personal friend or anything like that, but I mean it's sad.

00:22My mom died from cancer, so I know, and my grandmother,

00:25so I like literally watched them, you know, kind of go down,

00:28and I think that's just really sad.

00:30His last years, you know, his life's gonna be really hard.

00:34I mean, just finding out, I feel bad for him, of course.

00:37Personally, he didn't align with my political beliefs,

00:40but I don't believe that would define the value of his life,

00:43so I'm sorry I feel bad for him and his wife and his kids, of course.

00:48I'm sad that he and his family have to go through this battle.

00:52I also think that this gives us an opportunity to speak about

00:57research funding in this country, especially medical funding,

01:02and what the current administration is doing with that funding

01:06is no less than a sin and a grievance against all humanity.

01:12Donald Trump has already stopped funding for things like these,

01:16and we're never gonna be able to help people like Joe Biden or my husband

01:20if we don't have that funding.

01:22So, I'm angry and I'm sad.

01:25I'm angry and I'm sad.

01:26I'm angry and I'm sad.

01:27I'm angry and I'm sad.

01:32What about you, my brother?

01:48.
