That is correct.

I am not done.

I have lived my entire career a life of service.

And it's in my bones.

And there are many ways to serve.

I have not decided yet what I will do in the future beyond what I am doing right now.

This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten Island, in this country.

The American people are hostage to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffrey's poll numbers.

Because what's changed between now and the last time there was a clean continuing resolution is Chuck Schumer has tanked in the polls.

Both of the two guys from Brooklyn, like I call them, are worried about being primary from the left.

52.

Republican senators have voted 11 times to reopen the government.

Three brave moderate Democrats have come across the aisle.

So, you know, I call on moderate Democratic senators to end this craziness.

You'll be heroes.

Because, Martha, what I can tell you is...

We managed to find the money in the middle of October to pay our brave service members.

And I think we'll be able to do it on November 1st.

But we're going to be out of money on November 15th.

And for a military not to get paid is a disgrace.
