Congress should hope to control the President. That's our job. We are supposed to be exerting checks and balances on this president. Again, I will repeat that. One of the major failings of the current Congress generally and my majority colleagues, my Republican majority colleagues in both the House and the Senate specifically, one of their major failings is ceding control of Congress to the President. functionally ceding control of Congress to the President. And that's very, very dangerous. What that means is that Congress is not doing our jobs. (1:14:23–1:14:40)
