00:00if she doesn't resign.

00:01Mr. President, have you been briefed on the FBI raid of John Bolton?

00:06No, I don't know about it. I saw it on television this morning.

00:09I'm not a fan of John Bolton. He's a real sort of a lowlife.

00:17When I hired him, he served a good purpose because, as you know,

00:20he was one of the people that forced push to do the ridiculous bombings in the Middle East.

00:25Bolton, he wants to always kill people, and he's very bad at what he does.

00:31But he worked out great for me because every time he doesn't talk,

00:34he's like a very quiet person, except on television.

00:38If he could say something bad about Trump, he'll always do that.

00:40But he really doesn't talk. He's quiet.

00:43And I'd walk into a room with him with a foreign country,

00:45and the foreign country would give me everything because they said,

00:48oh, no, they're going to get blown up because John Bolton's there.

00:50He's not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic guy.

00:56I mean, we're going to find out. I know nothing about it.

00:58I just saw it this morning. They did a raid.

01:01Do you expect the DOJ to brief you on this?

01:03Yeah, they'll brief me probably today sometime.

01:06And the foreign minister...

01:07I don't want to. I tell Pam and I tell the group.

01:09I don't want to know, but just you have to do what you have to do.

01:12I don't want to know about it. It's not necessary.

01:14I could know about it. I could be the one starting it.

01:16I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer.

01:20But I feel that it's better this one.
