I tell my friend, we have little doubt on our side of the aisle why we are where we are today.

I want to inform the gentleman that the White House has just issued an intent to veto the resolution that you are offering. I tell my friend that if, in fact, the gentleman wants to keep the government running while negotiations proceed…
