Didn't get anything. Then he unconditionally reopened the government, said, I'll sign a three week continuing resolution, you guys try and negotiate something. And we did, and we got him something. We got him $1.4 billion toward the wall when Speaker Pelosi had said, not a dollar or actually one dollar to be fair to it. And he said, great, I'll take it, I'll sign it, I'll reopen the government, but I am going to declare the national emergency and proceed from there. (12:20–12:29)
