So go and use our power to advance our agenda, which, like I said, leads me to the opposite conclusion.
This is why I want to kill the filibuster.
I mean, the SAVE Act has not passed.
It's not going to pass.
This is one of the most important things we could do to protect our elections going forward.
And if we're not going to kill the filibuster and then we're told that, well, we can only advance our agenda if we have a filibuster-proof majority, that's never going to happen ever.
That's just not ever, ever going to happen.
And so what that would mean is that we're never actually going to advance our agenda in any serious way.
I mean, we know the Democrats already are going to do everything they possibly can when they have power to advance their agenda.
So they don't need...
They don't need the pretense or the excuse that we offer them by being aggressive ourselves.
They don't need that.
They're going to do it.
And so I think this is the situation we're in now is that when you're in power, you just do everything you can.
You push the ball forward as far as you can, as aggressively as you can, with the understanding that you better hold on to power for as long as you can also because the other side is going to get in there and they're going to try to reverse a lot of that.
But that's the situation we're in now.
That's the game now.
And I think you've got to just play the game.
aggressively within the confines of the law.
Of course, as always.
