Are you worried that that opens up a door for a Senate seat like Chuck Schumer's to be challenged by someone like AOC or AOC herself? I anticipate that, actually. I think, you know, you know, the thing is, I always believe that Chuck Schumer was somehow keeping the eight people at bay until a certain period of time. And now we're hearing reports that that's true, that he did it for political purposes. How about that? Such pet political purposes that you would actually shut down the government, deny people their paychecks, military ice, deny snap. (02:09–02:22)
