We're siting over. Me too, So lat me ask you a couple of quick questions, Congressman, and then well turn te Greg and Kavita two things. One, the house, just 05 we're recording this on @ late on Thursday afternoon, has just passed contempt, | guess what resolution regarding Steve Bannon, and | quest! be referred to DOJ. How do you feel about that? And do you think Ie wil have consequences? @© Fokrana 0259 | do | mean, | feel when Congress calls yo testy, you should show up to testify. Let me give you en example. in our committe, we have the CEOs of bg el Exxon, Chevron, and BP shell al coming to testify, they didnt want to show up. But when they found out that there may even be a threat of further action, they showed up, that's usualy what people do.

And yet, today, Speaker Pelosi seemed quite confident and recently we've at least seen some reports that perhaps there Is some acknowledgement by Senator cinema that, you know, we're going to have to rire some taxes to pay fori which seems emall concession, but realistic. What do you think? What do you think about where we are? © roxanne 0637 | emerged very optimistic after Tuesday after we had I think it was Tuesday, early inthe week where we had a two hour meeting withthe President 10 of 10 progressives that he met later with 10 maderates. And what made | think any oF Us opUIMIs 1 NeW engaged ne was, medn, nes Meraly sting there with a char ne em, xnowing each dolla figure In saying he's absolutely committed, and he needs this deal before going to overseas, and we've got to get it done. And I think many of us fll don't get the President's disengage, he's going to be able to get it done. progressives indicated a willingness to compromise. mean, as you know, that number is going to be below 35 trillion ignifiantly below and people say, Okay, we have to do what we have to do, but we have to get the principles in there. But ital pends on him being able to convince mansion and cinema, a a fstinstance, on even the compromised framework, And it seems like that is sil an ongoing challenge.
