   Campaign pressure + healthcare as a human right

   1. SPSpeaker0:07

      If you had millions of people saying, "You know what? You're running for office, you damn well better give me healthcare as a human right, and I want that in the first month of your presidency." You know what millions of people say? "You'll have it."

      [laughs]

   3. SPSpeaker0:44

      ... onto stickers and fitting them.

   4. TNTrevor Noah0:49

   5. TNTrevor Noah1:05

      Is that-

   6. SPSpeaker1:05

      Having your legs in the air?

   7. TNTrevor Noah1:06

      Is that you made me, you made me picture my legs in the air. That's what I hate about what you did to me there.

   8. SPSpeaker1:11

      That's what good friends are for.

   9. TNTrevor Noah1:12

      That's what you did to me there.

   10. SPSpeaker1:13
