00:00Okay, yes, woman in the back there.
00:02Can I, um, obviously you guys have five weeks of recess, but looking ahead to September,
00:06there will only be a couple weeks in session before, um...
00:08Don't cut us short, three.
00:10Three weeks before a government funding deadline hits.
00:13Are you confident that you can, uh, avert a shutdown?
00:17And what other priorities do you have?
00:18Look, it's going to take bipartisanship to avert a shutdown, as it always does.
00:23In the Senate, we're working on bipartisan bills.
00:26I think they passed three or four more bills today in the Senate, uh, um, Approach Committee.
00:32Democrat and Republican.
00:34Uh, Chair Murray, Ranking Member Collins working together.
00:38Contrast that to the House, where they can't pass anything bipartisan.
00:41They can't even pass some of the bills with partisan majorities.
00:44And it's filled with poison pills.
00:46So we're going to have to work hard,
00:48but I'm confident if Speaker Johnson learns the lessons of the past few times
00:53and works in a bipartisan way, we can avoid a shutdown.
00:56Okay, go ahead, Manu.
00:58Um, Trump won Montana by about 16 points.
