Notice I said negotiate, Mr. President. This is not a blank check situation where Republicans just agree to a list of Democrat demands. Democrats had previously agreed to a Homeland Security appropriations bill which included additional money for body cameras as well as de-escalation training for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and additional oversight funds. Oversight, I should say, of funds that have already been appropriated to dhs. Those are all things that or agreed upon when that bill was initially negotiated and supported by Democrats in the House and senate. (00:52–01:09)
