00:03You just said that you have 100 percent confidence in the Secret Service.

00:06Does the President share that confidence?

01:13right that is one of the underpinnings of this country.

01:17And so the balance between respecting the First Amendment and actually rhetoric that

01:23can be addressed by these social media companies is something that we deal with on an ongoing
