I said, this country, we haven't done anything for 30 years.
I said, why don't you just, let's pull that bill out.
So Schumer being the person he is, he says, I'll tell you what I'll do, Joe.
I'll pull that bill out.
And I said, let me work that bill, Chuck.
And I said, we'll get you a good bill and it'll be bipartisan.
I'll show you it can be done bipartisan.
He says, I'll tell you what, I'll do that and pull that out if you'll vote to get on BBB.
So the reason I'm leading up to this, that's when people say, well, Joe promised to vote for it.
I never promised to vote for BBB.
I says, I'll get on and let you work the bill.
I'm never going to be for this bill.
So anyway, we get we get to be we get the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
We work it and we pass it.
And the night we were passing the bill sitting on the Senate floor, Bernie Sanders is going to talk to me, Joe.
And I sit down.
He said, Joe.
are you going to vote for this BBB bill?
And I said, hell no, Bernie, you know, I was never been for that bill.
And he says, well, at least you're being honest with me.
