Transcript Highlights

Transcribed from the video audio:

• Why was something around here leak that the vice president is upset with the president without Gaza
• And that’s a great question because I just I mean if I if I could answer a question why somebody would leak I mean that would make me pretty smart and a lot smarter than I am
• You’ve seen us officially and on the record not in a leak refute the basic premise of the story that there’s some sort of daylight between the vice president and the president
• I found the headline of the story interesting that that the vice president is pushing the White House to you fill in the blank xyz
