Yeah, I think that what he's what's not. Again, we always hear the rhetoric that we're going to do the hard things, you know, in the future. But we've got to do this right now. That is I've heard that every time we come up to a decision or a vote. But. But I will say he didn't have to do this. He did not have to do it onto this bill. This is a, he could have done a clean CR.

There's no way that Democrats would have turned down a clean CR without having to add all this other pork into it. So I'm just, that's why I think that respectfully, I disagree that this was the only way to get this done.

I think that there's time. If this doesn't pass, Congress needs to stick around, do our job. And, you know, if we have to pass a clean CR to get us through to give Trump a clean slate, then so be it.
