And though that's just next month, that is a lifetime, uh, in Congress.

And so I think that there's an opportunity for us to come together in a bipartisan way to find the common ground to enact a spending agreement that meets the needs of the American people and avoids a shutdown.

Yeah, I certainly hope not.

And the American people, Democrats, Republicans, independents, do not support another foreign war.

We got big problems in this country.

The cost of living is out of control.

And Donald Trump did promise that he was going to lower costs on day one.

Of course that hasn't happened.

Costs haven't gone down.

Costs are going up.

Housing costs are out of control.

Healthcare costs out of control.

Grocery costs out of control.

Even electricity costs, utility bills right now, skyrocketing out of control.

There's a lot of things to be focused on in terms of making life better for working class Americans, middle class Americans, and everyday Americans.

The last thing in the world that we need is another foreign war that inevitably ends in disaster.

what percentage of people call you hakeem and what percentage call you leader because chris cody didn't uh really it seemed awkward it felt awkward to chris cody to hear mike ryan call you leader jeffries yeah it is an interesting title but most people listen when i'm back at home people call me hakeem and you know it for me i've always interpreted it as a sign that i've

been as effective as I can be in establishing a close relationship with the people that I'm privileged to serve.

And it's something that we'll continue to lean into.

In the House, we kind of view the institution based on what the framers set forth as the institution closest to the American people.
