Hakeem Jeffries wants to negotiate. From what you just showed me, there's nothing to negotiate right now. They either sign off on it or they don't. Your last word? There isn't. There is nothing to negotiate. This is a straightforward proposition, something that they did 13 times when Biden was in the White House and when they had the majority in the Senate. There's a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. That's all this is. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. (06:34–06:43)
