00:00 It is dangerous, it is abhorrent, we've got to call that out.
00:03 Go ahead.
00:04 Thanks, Green.
00:05 On a different topic, would the President encourage Democrats to help protect Speaker
00:09 Johnson from being ousted from his role if Marjorie Taylor Greene were to make it on
00:13 her grudge?
00:14 We've been very clear.
00:15 When it comes to internal leadership discussions in Congress, we just do not get involved.
00:21 That is for Democratic leadership to speak to.
00:24 That's not something we get involved in.
00:25 Thanks, Green.
00:26 I'm wondering if the White House has any response to the reports of violent clashes on UCLA's
00:34 campus last night, that there was a group of counter-protesters that tried to forcibly
00:40 dismantle the pro-Palestine encampment and the clash that resulted afterwards.
00:45 So look, what I can say more broadly, any form of violence we are going to denounce,
00:50 we're going to call out, violent rhetoric, any type of violence we have to call out,
00:57 that doesn't change anything.
00:58 We're going to continue to do that.
