## Transcript

Well, you know, it's really a tough decision for him and I'm sure a personal decision, from my own stand point I see Paul as one of the people coming along that has the potential to lead our country. And, if he became Speaker of the House in the near term, that's also a crucial role. We need Paul [ LAUGH ] in two spots at once and I'm There haven't been a lot of people that have gone on from Speaker to the White House so I'd hate to lose him as a potential contender down the road for the White House. He is a man of such talent, and such integrity, and such character that he's a real resource for the country.

So, whether it's now for the Speakership Or whether instead we see him hold on and ultimately become potentially a candidate for president. And I don't know. It's his decision, but I'm just glad to know him and to know that we have him in our quiver
