Published | Video Starts at 44:19

And this is, let me put that into context, Sean, because some people don't understand this. We've got this pretty sweet convenience store chain that's headquartered in my district, shameless plug called Kwik trip. And An 18 year old can go to Kwik Trip right now and get a job at QuikTrip making more money with equivalent or sometimes better benefits than a member of the United States military can. You can quit anytime you want. If you don't like your boss, you can say I don't like you and no one's shooting at you. (44:19–44:32)

CLAIM

Asserts that Kwik Trip offers better pay and benefits than the U.S. military for 18-year-olds.
