00:00Yes or no? Did the president of the United States pardon a convicted narco-trafficker?
00:07Yes. Who won the 2020 election? You know, I'm not going to do this with you.
00:13This is a job interview. We've established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright
00:20with the committee. Yes, you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee?
00:24Yes. Who won the 2020 election? Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with you.
00:28But you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee?
00:32Is anything that I just said not honest or forthright? Yes, you're not being honest or
00:36forthright. Who won the 2020 election? I think I've answered the question. We can keep doing this.
00:41Well, we're going to keep doing it because you're not being honest and forthright with the committee.
00:45I'm not going to engage in the theater. It's a simple question, Mr. Clayton.
00:51And I've answered it. Who won the 2020 presidential election? I've answered it.
00:56You're here asking for the support of senators to lead America's intelligence community. We've
01:03established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with this committee
01:07and with the American public. But you refuse to answer a simple matter of fact about the 2020 election.
01:14Is that right? No, that's not right. Then answer the question. Who won the 2020 election?
01:18I have answered the question. Answer it. What is your answer? I've given you my answer. What is your answer?
01:28You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you asked to lead
01:36America's intelligence community? Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to
01:44indulge the president's delusions? We know, you know, everybody in this room knows the truthful answer to that
01:55question. Why can you not give it? I think I gave you the answer.
