There were people in my party that said, oh, infrastructure, infrastructure, anybody can do that. I say, wait a minute, anybody can do that. I'm 61 years old. The last time we had a major infrastructure bill in this country was before I was born in the Eisenhower administration. Don't tell me everybody can do that. That. And I pushed hard and I don't mind telling you, I posed some in my party that remember they wanted to do that bill together with the build back, better part. (22:12–22:20)
