If the distinguished fighter pilot and American hero will yield, what we feel so good about, I think being sophomores, the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Hoke] and I am, to be on the team with the freshmen, but really to follow in the footsteps of people like you who have been out fighting the battle, yet we seem to add more and more who are concerned about the future of America. You know, none of us are really career politicians. We are going to try to do this. We are going to try to get the contract passed. We are going to try to change America, but we can also go back home if somebody better can do it, if somebody can do a better job, and you know, we are not up here so that we are going to be here for 30 or 40 years and build our own little empires, and Representatives like you who have helped us along the way have made it possible, I think, for the changes that are taking place to occur.

If I was a lawyer you said Mr. President, you said DNC and John Podesta specifically. Yet, you sort of made it sound like they were interfering with the election in general and there's a big difference.
