00:08So you don't have any misgivings about making your Democratic colleagues in battleground districts take this vote?
00:14Well look, we got to stand. We got to take a stand.
00:17Look in Congress. As a member of Congress, we take hard votes every day.
00:24Every day there is a hard vote to take. That's my job. That's our job to take a hard vote.
00:30They just need to look into not what plays well politically, not what the polls are saying.
00:37We got to do the right thing. That's what you sent us to, people sent us to Washington DC to do the right thing.
00:44And we can't worry about that. We can't worry.
00:50And this is the same problem Republican borderline, frontline people would have.
00:56They have to make those decisions as well.
