Don't worry about this Barack Obama guy.

Hillary Clinton, it's going to work out.

She's going to be the nominee.

And I was out on the campaign trail with Obama.

And I would see him in these gymnasiums and these auditoriums, and I'm like, looking at the way young people respond to him.

And I was like, guys, this is different.

Eras can change when the people lead that change.

And I think that we're on the cusp of that now if it's not crushed by the powers that be.

I went over there that day.

I grew up in the D.C.

area, going to the Kennedy Center and stuff and taking my first dates when I was in my 20s and stuff to the Kennedy.
