00:06 And they said, by trying to work the names of every single Taylor Swift album into my remarks.

00:13 Well, what's a dad to do?

00:15 It is true that my political opponents have often made me see red.

00:20 Often when subjected to the tortured poets who would rise to attack my reputation.

00:27 In response, I always thought it important to be fearless and speak now.

00:34 Or forever hold my silence and allow those attacks to become folklore.

00:40 Ever since leaving university in 1989, this has always been my approach.

00:49 My great consolation has always been my lover, Jen, who has always been there for me whenever I need her.

00:57 From dawn and beyond the many midnights, we have shared together.

01:03 See, I'm actually a true numeromantic, after all.

01:07 And I can assure you there is no bad blood, as I've always been someone who's been able to shake it off.
