So what do you think about that way of doing things? Remember, I've been in office now for seven years. I was in office when Donald Trump was president the first time. When the pandemic hit, I called the president and asked for help, told him we needed ventilators, we needed masks, and that he should invoke the Defense Production Act, but that we absolutely immediately needed to save people's lives and needed the federal government. He promised to do that and didn't deliver. Now, this is in the most dire of circumstances. You would think that the federal government, under Donald Trump, under anybody, would understand that people are dying and the federal government can help. (12:50–13:11)
