Again, truly, I'm not – I will expand. I will expand. It's incumbent upon the leadership to realize what went wrong and fix it immediately. If they do that, I think things will be fine. If they don't or they don't come to a recognition of that, there's going to be other discussions that are going to be made.

There was a conversation that was had not yesterday, the day before. We're we're looking. Honestly, the package that ended up was not the best one. We're starting to look at how are we going to get the the the agenda done because President Trump has a mandate. So how are we going to get that through Congress? There are some major adjustments to spending that are going to have to be made.

Yes, it should be, yes. Not 150 pages, let alone 1,500 pages. The leadership, to be blunt with you, the leadership and the Democrats – And also you have a lot of our colleagues where their view is we'll fix it next year. I just want to get out of town.

It's insane to me. I want to say it's not Christmas break. What this town likes to do is bring everything up to the last minute. No, that's exactly right. So it's not Christmas. It's what were you doing in June and July? What are you doing in September?

I mean, we've never been so far away from an election. But I will tell you, that's why when that deal came out, you had so many members go against it. Because members like myself and a lot of my colleagues, they were like, we just won a major election. Why are we acting as if we need the Democrats to bail us out of something? Like, we won.

So at this point, we should be dictating terms, not having to go to them saying, well, this is what we're trying to accomplish. What do you need? Because please, please, please, that stuff you can't do. Because once you start that way, Charlie, you've been in negotiations. Anybody that's worked, you've been in negotiations. Once you start coming to the table like you need something, you're done.

What they want most is to keep the majority. Okay. They have that. Thanks to Trump. But I'm going to expound upon that. And by the way, you're correct. They do have it because of Trump. The focus of the – and this man right here. You are correct. And this man right here. Leadership likes to be in leadership. So everything is always about the next election and keeping the majority.

Even now, the conversations are, well, we're going into the midterms. The odds are we're going to lose. So we have to do everything we can to keep the majority. My position and the position of a lot of members who agree with me, a lot of them you'll probably hear from today, are if you accomplish the agenda, that helps us get to keep the majority. But you've got to do something.
