That's how we've been running our government, just by continuing resolution, which is, by the way, how you get this problem... The Republicans have done continuing resolutions for the last two years. Mike Johnson's on the path to do another continuing resolution. That's how you get this problem because you continue programs that shouldn't be continued, right?

And that's how you get waste and abuse. Okay. Now let's also get to the issue that there are 30 to 40 Republicans that will never vote for a clean CR. Never. And even if Trump calls them and whittles that number down, let's say the best case scenario for them is 15. Okay, we whittled it in half. So this is the same thing we've been talking about for the last two years.

They have to come to the Democrats in order to get a CR in order to keep government open. Well, there's just one problem, Tim. Let's go back to the hundred billions of dollars of fraud, a hundred billion, they say, of fraud, waste and abuse. Well, a clean CR would refund all of that stuff. It would refund it. OK, because you would continue last year's stuff. Well, we can't do that.

You can't tell the American people we have found all this fraud, waste and abuse and then tell Congress, but refund it all. OK, not only can you not do that because it's fiscally ridiculous, it's also a trap for Democrats. OK, that they think we're going to walk into where they can be like they want to keep the government open so bad that we're going to put a clean CR.

They're going to refund all that fraud, waste and abuse. And then we're going to come out and be like, can you believe the Democrats? They refunded the condoms to Gaza, which wasn't a thing. But that's what they'll say.

And so what I've been out there talking ad nauseum on the floor and in interviews saying is Speaker Johnson now has less than a month to pass the 12 individual appropriations bills. That's how you pass a budget, a promise Speaker Johnson made when he became Speaker. They had passed seven of them and then stopped. Why? Because they're fighting amongst themselves.

Republicans can't agree amongst themselves. So right now, we are on a collision course that the government is going to shut down on March 14th. And Johnson's going to come forward with a clean CR, with California wildfire funding, and he thinks we're just going to go for it. I want to be very clear. I don't want to close the government.
