00:00What's your reaction to President Trump putting on two socials that your days are numbered?

00:04You know, Trump, he spent the whole day attacking me and Canada.

00:09And the difference is, Canada pays.

00:11But do you think, are you worried about your future prospects with Donald Trump coming after you?

00:16No! If I get on this plane and never come back, I could still be the happiest guy on the planet.

00:21But can he beat you? Can he beat you?

00:23I don't know. I doubt it.

00:26I mean, he basically tried in 2020.

00:31And by the way, the election is so far away.

00:34Remember, at this point, Mark Meadows was in trouble with Trump.

00:38And then Mark Meadows became Trump's chief of staff.

00:42So maybe it's just a prerequisite for being his chief of staff.

00:45You're not too concerned about his comments?

00:47I'm not that concerned, no.

00:49I think the comments were put out there to keep other Republicans in line.

00:55I don't think they were meant to change my vote.

00:58Because they know they can't change my vote.

01:00They don't even call me.

01:01But he called you a grandstander.

01:03That's an upgrade. Last time he called me a third-rate grandstander.

01:06So I no longer have that qualifier.

01:08I'm just a grandstander, according to him.
