Might be worth clipping and flagging for someone? This is the second time this week one of Trump's key surrogates has signaled Trump would be open to changing entitlements Starts at 6:57 in video below. Carson says that when Trump says he's not big on entitlement reform you have to listen to all that he's saying, Trump is saying entitlement reform isn't first thing you want to deal with. When people have opportunities and economy is better, later you can talk about entitlement reform.

He currently says he wouldn't touch them Missed the beginning Q: Ryan meeting? I talked to Ryan at 9:30 the evening before and he still had more meetings and calls that night. Ryan is a great example of a citizen-servant leader. He is a real patriot I wanted to talk to Ryan about some of the misinterpretations of Trump Trump doesn't use political speech and is not polished I reinterpreted some of the things Trump said to Ryan Trump has said entitlement programs aren't the first thing you want to talk about when the economy is in wreck. Want to fix economy first, then deal with entitlements Q: DJT tax returns? Wants HRC to release transcripts of her Wall Street speeches Trump said he would release tax returns when his audit was finished Q: Think all should release tax returns? Mentions financial disclosure. Said that had more details than a tax return would have Q: HRC meetings with Goldman and others? I dunno. But I did public speaking. Its fun Q: What do you think she is giving away in those meetings? She doesn't want the people knowing about her relationships on Wall Street She wants to achieve consistency and the best way to do that is to keep the people ignorant From: Roberts, Kelly Sent: Friday, May 13, 2016 12:05 PM To: Comm_D Cc: djtspeaks@hillaryclinton.com<mailto:djtspeaks@hillaryclinton.com> Subject: Video Request: Ben Carson on MSNBC
