The only thing we're asking them to do is reopen the government on a clean CR that Chuck Schumer wrote when he was leader of the Senate back in September where not asking them to vote on anything they haven't voted for before either. They voted on this in September, they passed it. They voted for it. The Democrats, all of them voted for it in December, they passed it, they voted for it in January and they voted for it again in March. What's changed is the political environment. Their base demanded that they shut down the government and they shut it down. (01:23–01:34)
