2920
ื•ืžื ื”ื™ื’ื” ืžืฉืคื˜ื™ืช ื•ื—ืกื™ื“ื” -
01:46
and if you compare that to somebody like Pence,

ื•ืื ืžืฉื•ื•ื™ื ืืช ื–ื” ืœืžื™ืฉื”ื• ื›ืžื• ืคื ืก,

ื–ื” ืžืชื‘ืจืจ ื™ื—ืกื™ืช, ื“ื™ ืžื”ืจ ืžืื•ื“,

that her relationship to the President โ€“ to Biden โ€“

3600
ืฉื”ื™ื—ืก ืฉืœื” ืœื ืฉื™ื - ืœื‘ื™ื™ื“ืŸ -
01:56
is different in the sense that she is prepared to support him,

ื›ืคื•ืœื™ื˜ื™ืงืื™ ืžื ื•ืกื”,
02:11
ย  Kamala Harris is able to be both critical and supportive of Biden.

Why is this important for a president?

135880

ืœืžื” ื–ื” ื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืœื ืฉื™ื?
02:19
Trump really didn't have anybody who followed him

some kind of constructive dissenter โ€“

145240
2600
ืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืžืชื ื’ื“ ื‘ื•ื ื” -
02:27
i.e. somebody who was willing to follow,

ื›ืœื•ืžืจ ืžื™ืฉื”ื• ืฉื”ื™ื” ืžื•ื›ืŸ ืœืขืงื•ื‘,

ืื–, ืื ื™ ืœื ื—ื•ืฉื‘... ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ ืฉืœืงืžืืœื” ื”ืืจื™ืก ื™ืฉ ืืช ื”ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ื”ื–ื”

2680
ื•ืื•ืœื™ ืคื ืก ื”ื•ื ื”ื”ื™ืคืš:
02:44
Pence might be regarded as a destructive consenter.

to go ahead without dissenting from them,

ืœื”ืชืงื“ื ืžื‘ืœื™ ืœื”ืชื ื’ื“ ืžื”ื,

You have some kind of responsibility to ensure โ€“

ื™ืฉ ืœืš ืื™ื–ื•ืฉื”ื™ ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช ืœื”ื‘ื˜ื™ื— -

ื›ื™ ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืฉื”ื•ื ืœื.

ืื ื”ื ื—ื•ืฉื‘ื™ื ืฉื”ื ืขื•ืฉื™ื ื˜ืขื•ืช.

ื•ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘ ืฉื”ืงื•ืฉื™ ืขื...

that the people that are trying to lead
