So I think that he and then John Brasso is the whip.
I respect the heck out of these people.
I think they did as much arm twisting as you can in the Senate.
Look, these are grown men and women, okay?
These are not some puppets that were sent here.
We're not lemmings like the Democrats.
When Chuck Schumer tells his members to jump, they jump.
And that's not who the Republicans are.
We believe in our principles and we're going to stand up.
And that's why you love us.
That's why you love our party, that we can debate this and we can disagree.
But I still love the fellow.
I've never been.
It's been a long time since I've been this part of a close team that we are fighting together.
So I think the SAVE Act's a great example.
I think we have 50, maybe 51 votes for Republicans who would vote for the SAVE Act.
But if we were to talk about ending reconciliation, we lose 10, 20.
It's not even close.
If it was two or three people, it would be much easier.
But I think a third of the Republican senators are against ending the filibuster, and a third are undecided.
