So question with Snap.

0:01.2

Fair on what you're saying with Snap.

0:02.9

I have two questions on Snap.

0:04.3

One, are you for Snap not being given to many of these illegal immigrants and folks who are taking

0:14.9

it at percentages higher where that money needs to be going to Americans for people that needed rather than for

0:22.2

people that are coming to take advantage of the system. Yeah, and honestly, that's the way the system

0:26.0

is structured now, right? Is that this is there, though. Well, well, but then abuse, but abuses is

0:32.6

one thing, right? An abuse, if anyone is breaking the law, then of course you need to be accountable for being able to break the law.

1:17.1

to adjust it, my point is this, then have a conversation with the nation's governors who are your

1:22.2

partners inside of this work. But you cannot just unilaterally decide that you're going to

1:27.1

adjust it and, again, you're going to adjust it and

1:27.8

again, violate the law to do it and then expect for us to just come up with it. That's not the way

1:34.7

a partnership is supposed to work. Got it. So you are against folks who abuse the system,

1:41.6
