00:00:00
I'm going to just be honest. There were
00:00:02
times where Joe Biden greatly
00:00:04
disappointed me and frankly, you know,
00:00:07
angered me. Like on the day of my debate
00:00:09
with Trump, the stakes were so high. And
00:00:12
the president calls and he said to me,
00:00:16
it just was so unnecessary.
00:00:19
And you took something from that
00:00:20
that his motivation was all about
00:00:22
himself.
00:00:23
Do you think he wanted you to win the
00:00:24
election?
00:00:27
Madame Vice President, there's nothing
00:00:28
you said I couldn't ask you.
00:00:29
Cuz I have a lot to say and so [ __ ] it.
00:00:34
Okay. So, do you wish you hadn't ran?
00:00:36
No. But I do regret that we did not have
00:00:38
more time.
00:00:38
And then the debate that came before
00:00:39
with Biden and Trump, it was a car
00:00:41
crash. I mean, this was clearly an
00:00:43
individual that was very much
00:00:44
struggling.
00:00:45
He didn't want that debate. I could tell
00:00:47
something was a little off.
00:00:48
How do you know?
00:00:49
Well, I could start with this.
00:00:50
And what about not going on Jerro's
00:00:52
show? I definitely regret that we didn't
00:00:54
do it, but there was a lot of games
00:00:56
being played.
00:00:56
And then on that night when the election
00:00:58
hasn't gone your way, what would I have
00:00:59
seen if I was a fly on the wall in the
00:01:01
room?
00:01:01
I was in a state of shock. Like I
00:01:03
haven't felt anything similar to the
00:01:04
emotion I felt that day other than the
00:01:07
grief I felt when my mother died and I
00:01:10
knew what was going to happen to our
00:01:12
country. So I had a hard time
00:01:14
reconciling that we can't still do
00:01:16
something about it because I grew up in
00:01:18
an environment where everyone was
00:01:19
fighting for justice and for equality.
00:01:21
So, I do think about how different it
00:01:24
could have been, but sometimes the fight
00:01:25
takes a while.
00:01:26
Does that mean that you could have run
00:01:28
again?
