I think Republicans have realized they've given up all of their power to the president.
And I think that on some level they realized, wait a minute, this dude was holding up a deal for weeks.
TSA people were not getting paid.
And so they're like, oh, now he's going to swoop in to a problem that he created, somehow save the day.
And I think they realized, wait, we got to get our shit together.
You're welcome.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Well, first of all, thank you for having me, Steve.
And as you point out, I chair the select committee on our strategic competition with the Chinese Communist Party.
And this is a focus on our relationship with China.
It covers our national security, our economic relationship, human rights abuses, the entire framework of this relationship.
You know, China has a history of 4,000 years.
But the Chinese Communist Party is a threat around the world and even on our shores.
And so we need to make sure that we are prepared with our national defense.
Also, we are in a strong economic competition.
I commend President Trump for his leadership in this area.
But we have a lot at stake.
And that's why our focus is entirely on this relationship with the Chinese.
