00:00That's the question you think that my constituents are asking me because they're not.
00:04Thanks.
00:05A number of Democrats are supporting a congressional stock trading bill that does not apply as of yet to the vice president or the president.
00:15And they're saying they, if necessary, would sign on to a discharge petition.
00:20Would you ever vote to advance a bill like that that does not cover President Trump?

00:29That's in Congress, that's in the Supreme Court, and that's with the administration.

00:50But this is the most corrupt administration in American history.
00:55Donald Trump and his administration make Richard Nixon look like a choir boy.
01:03And so clearly something is going to have to be done.
01:05But figuring out the right legislative vehicle is the subject of a discussion by the caucus.
