You guys in the House have been a little frustrated with how the Senate is holding, is handling this whole situation. Have you guys found some common ground here, or is there still a lot of tension there? Well, you know, I would say we're a lot frustrated, quite frankly. Senator Thune has the opportunity to put this on the House floor. They can do the talking filibuster. Look, in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed because of the talking filibuster. 1965, the Voting Rights Act was passed because of the talking filibuster. The Dodd-Frank bill was passed because of the talking filibuster. So there's a precedent here when you have monumental transformative pieces of legislation for the Senate to use this procedural maneuver to get it done. So John Thune, do your job, get it done, or get out of the way. President Trump has weighed in a lot on this. What is the latest we're hearing from him and what he wants the Senate to do? He's frustrated just like I am, just like the American people are, that they see the Senate not doing their job. And look, this isn't a controversial issue. When it comes to Save America, again, over 80 percent of Americans say, let's get it done. So there's really no excuse for John Thune at all. Yeah. And what are the arguments being made from Republicans for not moving forward? I know our listeners are frustrated. What are they saying? To be honest with you, I have not heard a good answer from the Senate as to why they're not moving it, aside from the fact that John Thune has said he doesn't have the votes. Well, guess what? You're the leader. Bring it up. Put it on the Senate floor. Call a vote and let everybody go on record. And once that's been done, do the talking filibuster. Like I said, you have historical precedent to get it done. He has a path forward. He's simply choosing not to do it. And again, the American people rightfully should be frustrated by that.
