I want to work with the president, not war with the president. You don't win warring. And there are things I disagree. I'm going to communicate and say, listen, we disagreed. You know, They took 80 million, 60 million away from us, from FEMA funding for the migrants. We disagreed on that. But the goal is how do we sit down like I did with Biden. You know, people forget that point that I sat down and worked with the president. (1:21:57–1:22:04)
