I mean, what a horrible thing to say, and...

How do you not, in the American form of government, speak to the other side when you need their votes and you need their support?

Your Democrats are fighting for people's healthcare because people's ACA premiums are about to skyrocket.

People are about to get kicked off Medicaid, about to get kicked off healthcare.

The Republicans, they've been directed by Donald Trump in the House, do not have any conversations with Democrats, let alone negotiate.

You're not allowed to speak to them.

So if that's your behavior, then fundamentally the American experiment is over, right?

The game is over of how we interact in a democracy because it requires compromise.

How did Biden keep the government open?

He brought in McCarthy to his office and he said, what do you need?

Okay, let me help this state.

Let me help that state.

That's how the sausage is made.

you want this we want this everybody happy everybody a little disappointed that's an actual deal great but this behavior by donald trump and the mega republicans just saying we're not talking to the other side i mean that's that's just that behavior is not american it's not what we're used to having normally in a shutdown the parties would be rolling up their sleeves talking to each other do we have the clip right where

maga mike was asked on fox will you agree to debate i think we have this clip will you agree to debate hakeem jeffries because you had indicated and c-span published that you were willing to go on c-span and maga mike and hakeem jeffries were going to talk to each other

in public.

In the past 85 days, another way to frame it, the Republicans have only worked 12 days.

out of 85 days, just think about in your life, just working 12 days of 85 during the most crucial moments, like as well.

Like imagine that's when like, I need my vacation, like an accountant during tax season, right?

Like that's when they're like, you know what?
