Phil mattingly, thank you so much. Dana bash who used to run up and down those halls for years and years and years. Phil has talked to folks on both sides of the aisle. Confident that the house will get to this and nancy pelosi was so key in brokering this deal why is she standing there now for fourplus hours and saying no . I saw you write that down and because youre you, is why you picked up what you did about nancy pelosi. To people at home, it makes no sense. Not at all.
