I'm hoping we're going to get permitting reform, which would be the biggest economic lever we could possibly get done over the next six months or the next two and a half years. We've closed the border, we've stopped the flow of fentanyl. We had 4,000 people who died in Pennsylvania in the last year. The Biden administration at 1600. This year it's down 60%. Those same statistics nationally. And then there's huge intractable problems like the debt and the deficit, which are existential, that we're not dealing with. And that's not a product so much of the filibuster. (13:04–13:11)

CLAIM
