00:00:00
I've heard people rationalize this and I
00:00:02
mean important people rationalize, you
00:00:04
know, just go along with this. This is
00:00:05
what we have to do to win the majority,
00:00:06
maintain the majority in the House in
00:00:08
2027, right? But what good is a majority
00:00:11
if you literally don't solve the
00:00:13
problems that you're aware of? Oh, so
00:00:14
when we have the majority in 2027, then
00:00:16
we're going to actually turn the
00:00:18
spending curve down. That's when we're
00:00:19
going to return to prepandemic level
00:00:20
spending. I don't buy it. This is our
00:00:22
one opportunity and right now we're
00:00:24
blowing it and I'm going to do
00:00:25
everything I can to make sure we don't
00:00:26
blow it. I don't discount the fact that
00:00:28
we may lose the House, we may lose the
00:00:30
Senate, but I would say we do that
00:00:31
because we're not solving these
00:00:32
problems. We're going to be looked at as
00:00:34
unserious. Our base is going to go, "Why
00:00:36
did we elect you guys? You didn't take
00:00:38
the bull by the horns. You didn't solve
00:00:39
this problem. You're really no better
00:00:40
than Democrats." I think we have to be
00:00:42
concerned about
