We want to reopen the government. We are standing by hard working federal employees, but we need a partner in that effort. But we don't have a partner, literally. Donald Trump over the last 29 days has spent more time talking to Hamas and to the Chinese Communist Party than to Democrats on Capitol Hill who represent half the country. And that's extraordinary in and of itself. And we've said we will pass a spending bill that's bipartisan that makes life better for the American people. (12:53–13:05)
