Thank you for the timestamps. I did not want to watch the whole thing and came only to see the AIDS questions.

[@themaestro3034]

Absolute disgrace that he didnt mention it for YEARS, and it was only after Rock Hudson died of it. Absolute disgrace.

[@IttzAndrew]

@@themaestro3034 Damn right.

[@aceofheartss1972]

Needed this for a school project. Thank you so much!

[@wolflarson71]

Strap Peter Navarro down and make him watch Reagan discuss the trade deficit question until in sinks in and he abandons his import reclassification scheme.

[@brandonleeaguilar]

He is compassionate.

[@michaelr5100]

He was very good at sounding compassionate, but it's clear by his lack of action that he did not care about the AIDS crisis or its victims.
