00:00Thank you, Levi.
00:02President Trump came out in support or signaled support
00:05for a stock ban, a stock trade ban.
00:08I know that's something that you've been supportive of.
00:11Do you think that this builds momentum?
00:12Have any conversations with GOP leadership about this?
00:16Where do you think this stands now with the president's support?
00:19His support is meaningless as it relates
00:22to Democrats in the United States Congress.
00:23You've said that you're going to support incumbents
00:30who are facing primary challenges.
00:31Some of your members don't believe that David Hogg
00:35can serve as a DNC vice chair while simultaneously supporting
00:38those primary challenges.
00:40Do you agree with that?
00:41My statement on this issue, which was extensive,
00:45speaks for itself.
