You have a couple minutes . Thank you. How are you . It is a beautiful day. Why dont we start with you . At this point in the negotiations, why the president wont personally speak with Speaker Pelosi . It did not go well [inaudible] i dont think it is a question of he will or wont meet the right i have been negotiating, i have done six or seven deals with the speaker. Senator schumer among mitch mcconnell, the president , Kevin Mccarthy are involved in every decision. We have a process that is working well. What are the republican priorities for avoiding the shutdown . The good news is that the speaker and i have agreed that neither one of us want a government shutdown. I have spoken to the president and kevin as well. We are going to move forward with a clean cr, hopefully through the beginning of december, the staff of the four corners are working on that, so i hope by the end of the week, we will have something. You are calling it targeted. What specifically two different things. The cr, we are having a separate discussion. On the legislation. I spoke with Speaker Pelosi, she thinks we are far apart. I suggested we sit down. Maxine waters actually suggested i call the speaker, so why was encouraged and i did that. I am prepared to sit down with her any time to negotiate, no conditions. Right now, she wont do that unless we make a large commitment upfront and the republicans are going to move with a more targeted bill that is focused on kids and jobs, which are the priority. The good news is the unemployment has come way down, we are at 8. 4 . Lets spend more money now, if we need more money afterwards, we will do it again. To be clear, will there be any Coronavirus Relief legislation inside a stimulus . Our plan is to keep the coronavirus discussion separates. It will be a skinny detail that does not address those issues. There may be one or two technical areas, like the state department, where certain fees are less than they are. I dont really call that coronavirus related. I have not. I will say, i have been with the president many times at military institutions. The president has always been supportive of the military, he came into office campaigning on rebuilding the military. I have been to arlington with im, i went with him to the anniversary of world war ii in europe, very emotional times, been with him to launch the gerald ford, so i have never seen a more supportive president of the military.
