Question?
00:01
Mr. Leader, good morning. Good afternoon.
00:03
Good to see you.
00:05
Do you expect any delay tactics tonight to try to stall this?
00:09
You set a record with a speech just a couple of weeks ago.
00:13
Well, it's not clear what the challenges are right now in terms of why Republicans have been unable to bring these bills to the floor
00:24
so we can actually debate them and lay out for the American people why their efforts to slash and burn funding
00:33
is going to hurt public health, public safety, and the dissemination of public information to places like small towns and rural America.
00:46
That's going to be the impact of the rescissions package.
00:50
And so, as of the moment, we're just looking forward to an active and robust debate on the House floor
00:58
so we can lay out for the American people why Republicans continue to take steps to hurt them as opposed to helping them.
01:07
So not anticipating a magic minute like you did a couple of weeks ago?
01:10
I do expect to participate in the debate, and I expect that I will speak longer than a minute.
