Let's fix it now. But the second issue that's very important to me, and I don't challenge Senator Fetterman saying that John Thune is an honorable guy. But here's the challenge. We can't do a deal with President Trump and then have him tear it up tomorrow and start mass firings or canceling programs that he doesn't like or canceling programs that help blue states. We have to be sure that a deal is a deal. If we shake hands over a deal, Congress will follow it. Will the president follow it? (05:32–05:44)

CLAIM

Asserts that President Trump may not adhere to agreements and could cancel programs.
