00:00Look, I'm not going to get into the details. Obviously, we'd all like to help Gaza.
00:15But the bottom line is, we were getting close on a whole lot of issues, and Donald Trump just
00:20pulled the rug out from under people. And even before that, when it looked like we were getting
00:25close a day before, he again called in and screwed it all up. They should stop listening
00:31to him. If they want to do what's good to the American people, they shouldn't be in
00:34blind obeisance to Donald Trump.
00:37Can you tell us who you were talking to in the White House?
00:39Look, I'm not getting into the details, but we've talked to the White House, and we've
00:44mostly talked to Thune, who would then talk to the White House, and that didn't work out
00:49too well for Thune or the White House. Yes?
00:52Do you think there's a possibility, then, that this could be revisited in September?
00:55As a what?
00:56It could be revisited in September, and that you could reach some sort of deal then? Or
01:00is this completely...
01:01Look, the bottom line is, what we ought to be doing in September is making sure we do
01:05the appropriations bills in a bipartisan way. We ought to be making sure that we protect
01:10the American people from the hard-right craziness that just hurts them all the time. And the
01:15only way to do that is bipartisanship. Last one.
01:17Can you tell me to talk to Thune in about CR, or what the plan is for coming into September?
01:23We've talked vaguely about broad issues, but not that specifically yet. We will. Okay.
01:28Thank you, everybody. Thank you. What do you think? The art of the deal?
01:35I'm impressed you guys have posters on that.
01:38We are more effective and more unified than the Republicans.
