00:00I don't understand it. The President said the situation of terrible crime in Boulder was the reason for this.
00:08The individual in Boulder was from Egypt.
00:12The President did not include Egypt on his list of nations and people we don't want in the United States.
00:18I can't follow his thinking on this at all.
00:21And what about him ordering the Justice Department to investigate Biden?
00:25You know, this is a relentless effort to discredit the previous President, former President,
00:33and I think it's beneath the dignity of the Office of President to do that.
00:38As far as I'm concerned, we should move on with the issues. There are two challenges in the months ahead.
00:44Do you think it'll show anything nefarious, or are you concerned that it could blow back on Democrats
00:49by turning up things about – unflattering things about Biden? Are you concerned about that?
00:53I can just tell you I'm not going to speculate on what might be the result of this witch hunt,
00:58which it is, by the Trump administration.
01:02But, you know, I think we ought to spend more time really trying to analyze the thought patterns of the current President
01:08and leading him to do such outrageous things.
01:12We can't share time.
01:14.
