░░░░░░░░ give us two weeks ░░░░░░░░ it now give people ░░░░░░░░ paychecks make sure that ░░░░░░░░ planes are flying safely ░░░░░░░░ sure our Border Patrol ░░░░░░░░ are getting paid and ░░░░░░░░ we are

definition of compromise It ░░░░░░░░ a really hard thing ░░░░░░░░ us to kind of ░░░░░░░░ MACCALLUM How would it ░░░░░░░░ a hard thing to ░░░░░░░░ when it sounds like ░░░░░░░░ want the same thing ░░░░░░░░ he wants HILL It ░░░░░░░░ not a hard thing ░░░░░░░░ me personally to swallow ░░░░░░░░ think it is a ░░░░░░░░ thing for many people ░░░░░░░░ are tugging on either ░░░░░░░░ The notion of compromise ░░░░░░░░ one that people at ░░░░░░░░ idea of it but ░░░░░░░░ it comes to getting ░░░░░░░░ their side it is ░░░░░░░░ Everyone should compromise each ░░░░░░░░ the other side should ░░░░░░░░ Retightened but it today ░░░░░░░░ we will have to ░░░░░░░░ to some kind of ░░░░░░░░ We were having a ░░░░░░░░ and some people say ░░░░░░░░ barrier is a nonstarter ░░░░░░░░ say we will have ░░░░░░░░ barrier That is for ░░░░░░░░ negotiation will take place ░░░░░░░░ we will have a ░░░░░░░░ Martha Let me ask ░░░░░░░░ this By the planning ░░░░░░░░ Mitch McConnell today Why ░░░░░░░░ even a person who ░░░░░░░░ the iron Democrats on ░░░░░░░░ health being the blockade ░░░░░░░░ have sent over all ░░░░░░░░ these different measures so ░░░░░░░░ we have taken five ░░░░░░░░ six different boats that ░░░░░░░░ given different options that ░░░░░░░░ reopen the government even ░░░░░░░░ different parts of the ░░░░░░░░ s we can negotiate ░░░░░░░░ was one that would ░░░░░░░░ given two weeks to ░░░░░░░░
