| 0:00.0 | I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted, |
| 0:09.0 | because he's losing it. |
| 0:11.0 | Look, we need a commander-in-chief, not a Twitterer-in-chief. |
| 0:15.0 | We need someone with judgment and the temperament to keep this country safe. I don't know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on the button. I mean, we're liable to wake up one morning, and Donald, if he were president, would have nuked Denmark. Hi again, everybody. It is 5 o'clock now in the East.
