You wrote this, quote, trump is a felon, he is a pathological liar, he is a menace, and he is sure to be emboldened by his activist Supreme Court, which granted him near total immunity. Care to retract any of those remarks? Well, He was convicted, he was indicted, and he was impeached, and he won. So the reality is he won this election despite those things, and he won it fair and square. So he was not just squeaking in. He got a majority of the popular vote and, of course, the Electoral College vote. So that's the decision of the American people we have to deal with. But everything I said then, I believe now. I mean, it's not do I believe it. (09:17–11:54)
