00:00Thanks. Joe Pritikin with The Bulwark. Given the dissatisfaction with how
00:05Democrats handled the funding fight last week, what did you think of that and how
00:10would you advise them to act for the next crisis, let's say the debt ceiling,
00:14which is expiring later this year? Well, I put out a statement that morning before
00:19the vote encouraging the Senate to vote down the CR. I mean, that's, we have to
00:25take any opportunity, when we're not in the majority, we have to take any
00:29opportunity that where we have leverage in order to stand up and fight. Now, it's
00:35not fight to no end. What do you use that fight for? It's to get compromise from
00:42this ridiculously, you know, quiet Congress that goes along with whatever
00:48Donald Trump and Elon Musk are telling them. And so, we've got to use those
00:54opportunities whenever they come about. And there was a prime one, it's probably
00:59the first that I can think of, where there was a real opportunity for us to
01:04stand up and speak out and to protect the people who we up stand up
01:09for. I mean, I'm disappointed about what happened. I want to commend my, one of my
01:16senators, Tammy Duckworth, who I called to ask her how she was gonna vote and she
01:25said, my vote is hell no. I love her.
