YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“I know Gavin was here. I used to get along so great with Gavin when I was president [the first time]. Gavin’s a good guy,” the president said.

“We did help them a lot in Los Angeles, a lot … early in my term, when they had some problems. But we would love to do it.
