“we did put forward a proposal to fund TSA, to fund FEMA, to fund CISA, to move forward on so much of what the American people know needs to move forward. We are not negotiating in a vacuum here. We are in a different world than we were when these negotiations began a few weeks ago because we are now finding our country in a war with Iran. We are seeing American servicemembers in harm's way. We see this President recklessly pushing on and not caring at all how many billions of dollars he is spending each and every day in prosecuting this war, without the kind of thinking of what is needed to be able to protect our servicemembers, Americans in harm's way, and our diplomatic folks. So we are trying to come up with solutions here, understanding the challenges that we are facing. These are not normal times. This is not the same world. What we tried to do is come forward here, focused on a pragmatic, realistic approach on what it is that we can agree upon. It is what every family has to deal with in terms of understanding how to be able to come up with solutions that move forward, especially in these dangerous times. We know that Americans have these concerns. When I think about CISA, when I think about the cyber security world--I used to work in national security in Afghanistan, in Iraq, with so many other challenges in counterterrorism. We need that now more than ever. I will be honest with you.…”
