A Conversation With Senator Brian Schatz

Published | Video Starts at 13:56

And so where is the middle ground between what Democrats would see as prudent and what you consider then to be just these sweeping cuts that make no sense? As long as there is a child out there who needs PEPFAR support, as long as there are mosquito nets not yet deployed, that we should do the really important stuff first and foremost. And these other things, maybe we can get to them, maybe we can't. But to me, it's humanitarian aid, it's economic partnerships, it's fmf, and everything has to be aligned with the State Department. (13:56–14:16)
