00:00He's absolutely wrong. I mean, look at the reality of the votes, right?
00:04I understand that the American people are frustrated. Please believe many of us did not
00:09sleep because we were calling and trying to impress upon the senators the importance of
00:14pushing back in this moment. And as you saw, we had all but one Democrat in the House
00:18that voted for this, so that's 212 Democrats in the House. And then you had the vast
00:23majority of senators vote for it or vote against it as well. And so the idea that
00:30Chuck Schumer is the only one that's got a brain in the room and the only one that can
00:34think through all of the pros and cons is absolutely ridiculous. And, Jake, you and
00:39I both know that this administration could care less about whether or not they violate
00:43the law. We know that we've had to rely heavily upon the courts. And I want to say,
00:48as you're talking about the polling on my party, I want to say that it is the Democratic
00:53attorney generals and some governors that are standing up against this administration
00:58and bringing those lawsuits and winning every single time. They are losing in court.
01:02Could we do a better job of making sure that the American people know that we are winning
01:07in the courts? We probably could. But at the end of the day, it's still Democrats
01:11that are winning for the American people.
