But on the Senate side, behind the scenes, can you report today whether or not there is any movement on negotiations? No, we, we have lost movement about nine days ago with the Democrats. Their demands are still the same, $1.5 trillion to reopen the government to bring back the fraud, waste and abuse that one big beautiful bill cut out and give, you know, illegal immigrants health care. Again, that's not a talking point. That literally is what they're, what they're wanting to do for us. A lot of people have questions. Why can't the president move the money? (03:36–03:49)
