00:00The Press. I have made my views clear on a statement that I gave on the floor yesterday

00:16about violence at Columbia and on campuses. There's no place for violence or anti-Semitism

00:22on the campuses. Yes, yes, outside of Medicare. What has been the hold up on holding a vote

00:30on that? And are you still planning to do that before the election? We're working very

00:33hard to get it done. It's complicated. As you know, there's opposition from some people

00:37on it. But I am very eager to get it done. It's a high priority. Yes? Would you put the

00:44House anti-Semitism bill to a vote before you pass it over there? Well, we haven't seen

00:48what the House is sending us yet. Yes? There's a lot of calls on the Republican side about

00:53trying to defund or cut some of the funding to some of these universities under Title

00:57VI because of what they see as potential violations with Jewish students. Would Democrats

01:01and you specifically be in favor of looking at some of that? Again, I've made my views

01:05clear on my floor statement. And you can go back and you can go back and look at my anti-Semitism

01:11speech on the floor that I gave months ago. Yes? Is there any chance of adding the marijuana

01:17banking or stable coin bill to the FAA reauthorization? Look, there are lots of people who have different

01:24amendments not relevant to the FAA that want to get them on. I'm one of those. But we

01:29have to get this done in a bipartisan way. And we'll figure out the best way to get it

01:33done. Yes? Given the short time frame to the end of the fiscal year, is it really realistic

01:40to do a whole new round of appropriations? And would you accept a CR if Republicans don't?

01:44Look, I have great faith in Pat and Murray and our Appropriations Committee. And they're

01:48going to do work very hard. No one thought they could get it done last time. And look

01:52at the great job they did. Last question. Do you support including these new slots

01:56of DCA in the FAA? As I said, lots of people have different views and different amendments

02:02they want in FAA. We're going to try to work in a bipartisan way to get it done. Thank

02:06you, everybody.
