will you negotiate with democrats in the senate? sure. this isn t just about negotiating with kevin mccarthy. kevin mccarthy is much more conservative, however much you think he is a conservative compared to the people who run the senate, which is the democrats, or the white house which is joe biden. remember in 2011 obama was in the white house and we got cut cap and balance. we took it to the american people. american people were tired of the status quo. we took the message to them and forced change. our point is, let s fight now to end the status quo. let s get in the rooms now. republicans should send good appropriations bills over to the house. make chuck schumer reject them. let s send a good appropriations bill funding men and women in uniform. let s send them a good bill. let s send a good homeland security bill. let s send legislation. if chuck schumer doesn t want to passes those, it s on him. let s come back to the table and let s talk about it. let s do our part to
