## Transcript

It is indisputable that the planet is getting warmer, and the only real controversy is, how much warmer will it get? The current administration has differences with my administration in terms of energy policy. And that's part of what happens in democracy. Right. So there will be a useful debate that takes place in America. People have a tendency to blame politicians when things don't work, [ BLANK_AUDIO ] But, as I always tell people, you get the politicians you deserve. [ LAUGH ] And if you don't vote, and you don't participate, and if you don't pay attention. [ APPLAUSE ] Then you'll get policies that don't reflect your interests.

Once you've been President of the United States, Then a, you've made a mistake everyday. [ LAUGH ] B, everybody has seen when you fail. [ LAUGH ] Large portions of the country think you're an an idiot. The hardest thing about being the President of the United States. Is it is unique in its isolation. You live in what's called, the bubble, and it is a very nice prison.
