00:00Senator Graham, what's your reaction to this ruling by the parliamentarian?

00:05And do you think that there's any chance that you guys can overcome this?

00:08I was a bit surprised.

00:09Well, I think the whole provider tax is the biggest scam I've ever seen since I've been

00:15up here and I've seen it a lot.

00:16So I think we'll take another run at it, but I have no intention of overruling her.

00:23But I think we'll take another shot at it, and I definitely don't agree.

00:26Do you think that this potentially sets you back in terms of your timing?

00:31Can you really pass this by July 4?

00:32I need to talk to the leadership and see about that.

00:34Okay?

00:35How long does one of these, you know, you said you're going to come back, try to retool it,

00:38make another run, talk to Carlton, how long does that normally take those conversations?

00:43They're starting right now, so I'll get back with you.

00:45What kind of punishment do you think the alleged leaker of this preliminary report on the Iran

00:50attacks?
