If you need heart surgery, listen to the people at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, not Donald Trump. And the same thing goes with this. You out there, teachers, nurses, truck drivers, whatever, How is it fair that you're paying your taxes every year and Donald Trump hasn't paid any federal tax ten to last 15 years? In the last year as president, that's what's wrong with the system. There's a way around it. And he's bragged about that. We're just asking for fairness in it, and that's all you want. (34:13–34:20)
