Heinrich: None of his programs —

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, but is —

Heinrich: It just happened on its own.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: No, but it is actually the policies that he has taken that has helped reduce the deficit … dealing with middle-class families that you are not seeing currently — you’re not seeing currently from Republicans. I got to move on, because we don’t have a lot of space.

Heinrich: What is one thing he did that reduced the deficit?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: What — no, wait — what? Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Heinrich: What is one program?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Go ahead.
