Yeah, Charlie, not to circle back, but I think it's important that we organize and prioritize, that we stay locked in on this smaller legislative agenda right now. But we can't focus just on the reconciliation bills, which you've alluded to. We also need to take into account that government funding ends March the 14th, and we've got a debt ceiling facing us as well.

So behind all this, one of the things I'm focused on is a budget bill that would require – Congress to do a real budget and then have sticks as well as carrots that they don't do it. So one of my one-off piece of legislation is the budget bill, but I just can't stress enough, we need to stay locked in on President Trump's agenda. He ran on prosperity and security.

And if you really push them, I think you'd say, look, I mostly ran on security. So let's lock in on that bill. Let's give them the money to secure the border. It's going to be very expensive to hunt down 400, 500,000 criminal aliens and then put them in a prison and then ship them out. So, you know, those are those are some of the issues that I'm focused on.

Whatever we can do to roll back regulations or something called a congressional review action that we can go back to. and try to lock in and roll back a lot of these Biden overreach opportunities as well.

Yeah, I think, number one, these agencies do matter who's the head of them. And I think that they need to be loyal people. So I think that'll be a big difference is going forward as President Trump's people are loyal, that they're committed to this American first agenda. I think the other lesson learned is much like being a physician.

One of the lessons I learned is try to look through the illness through the eyes of the patient and the eyes of the family, not necessarily mine. So as I sit there and see some of the ongoing arguments in the House and the Senate, I'm trying to remind my colleagues that what Speaker Johnson has over there, the dynamics are completely different than ours. So try to look at it through his eyes.

We don't have any senators from New York, any senators from Illinois, California, who care about this SALT tax. And I'll let you get into that with your listeners some other time. But it's just not a big issue over here. But Speaker Johnson has to address that SALT tax as he goes through trying to fund border security along with making the Trump tax cuts permanent.

You know, over here on the Senate side, we want to make sure that we don't leave some of the great opportunities on the scrap table. I would love to lower the corporate tax more. There has to be more opportunities. If we rush through it, we're not going to get the job done properly. So keep in mind that I'm going to circle them back.

March 14th is when the continuing resolution ends for funding the government. Boy, it'd be nice to have funded the military, give them a big boost to reconciliation. So for me, it's learning all these pieces. Again, a doctor, I don't want to know just your blood pressure. I want to know your oxygen saturation. I want to get consultations, opinions, and come up with a good, good plan going forward.
