Rahm Emanuel

I would present a 6 in 2026, not because anybody remembers the 6 in 06 or the contract with America.

You should have it.

A, it helps you focus in 2027 what your priorities are.

It creates a disciplined dialogue inside the party, what we're going to stand for.

And it will not just help in 2026.

2027 will be the seminal year that will decide for us who we are and what we're defined for in 2028.

And when we ran health care, children's health care, the renewal, helped negotiate it for President Clinton, led the effort in the House with Speaker Pelosi,

Force Bush to veto it.

60 Republicans were with the Democrats.

It sets up Obama in no way.

When George Mitchell in 1990 gets Bush 41 to sign a tax increase.

It breaks up the Republican Party.

Pat Buchanan challenges a sitting Republican president, and it sets up Bill Clinton in 1992.

So I believe do the work now, both not only for 2026, but for the discipline of 2027.

One of those is going to break through and get to the president's desk.

If he signs it, you want it to be something that divides the Republicans from him.

If he vetoes it, you want to make sure it also divides the Republicans from him.

The goal there then says who we are and who they are.

Yeah, I agree.

Tommy, there's three or four layers here.
