The military was not prepared to do that. Yet in two years, country came together. We were able to lay the groundwork for victory. We can do it. We can do it when people are mobilized and are prepared to stand up and fight back. So what does success to you look like? In the short term.

In the short term, it means a solid defeat of this outrageous reconciliation bill, which would provide $1.1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1% and massive cuts to Medicaid, nutrition, and education programs. That's the immediate. We win that. We got them on the defensive. And that's why I'm here in this district and why I was in Kenosha and Altoona earlier.

Well, I'll be back in Washington on Monday and we'll be delving into that, but there's a lot of stuff that's flying on. So I can't give you a good answer on that one.

No, this is unprecedented, and it's why this is a scary moment. Look, Musk is many things, but he is extraordinarily arrogant and extraordinarily aggressive. And they're going for it. They're going for it. I mean, it's just hard to keep up with what they are doing, their movie. And that's not an accident as well.

But I tell you, I think that when you propose to cut, was it 83,000 positions at the Veterans Administration, the American people are going to say, you're not going to do that because no matter what your politics may be, there is respect for people who put their lives on the line to defend our country. And I've been talking to veterans all over this country. And you know what?

I don't think they're going to get away with that. I think the veterans community is going to stand up. I think you're going to have seniors all over this country saying, no, I can't get a phone call now because the Social Security Administration is understaffed. Some 30,000 people a year die who have disabilities because they don't get their benefits on time. This will only make it much worse.

No, I think not. I mean, I think the answer is going to be exactly what we're doing here today, and that is rally thousands of people all over this country. Our next trip, we expect, will probably be heading west, maybe to Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, whatever, and just put pressure on these members of Congress. Now, in fairness to them, because of the corrupt campaign finance system.

If some Republican today stands up and says, you know what? I am not going to cut Medicaid in my district to give tax breaks to billionaires. You know what happens? The next day, Musk says, guess what, fella? We're going to primary you. I got endless amounts of money. You're in trouble. These guys are scared to death. They're scared to death of Musk.

But we're going to have to force them to make a choice. They can be scared to death of Musk or they can be scared to death of their own constituents.
