00:00I'll take questions.
00:01Jeff.
00:02To continually criticize the Democrats, doesn't that imply that you don't have the votes on
00:08your side?
00:09Because you wouldn't need Democratic assistance to keep the government open?
00:12No, we'll have votes.
00:13We're going to pass the C.R.
00:14We can do it on our own.
00:15But what I'm saying is Democrats ought to do the responsible thing.
00:20Follow their own advice in every previous scenario and keep the government open.
00:24It's their choice.
00:25I wish it could be a unanimous vote in the House chamber today.
00:30That would be a great thing for America.
00:32But they're not going to do it, Chad.
00:33Because they're on this lawsuit and they're winding in the wilderness
00:37and they're cursing this guy at the same time.
00:39And you're going to see that today.
00:40They're going to vote no and they're going to come out and try to panic.
00:43They're going to lie about it.
00:44And we're calling on you guys to call into account.
00:47They can tell you the truth about the bill.
00:49They didn't read it before they said all the nonsense.
00:51So ask them that.
