KERNEN: "It wasn’t a serious budget."
JEFFRIES: "It's in the public domain, the American people can evaluate it."
KERNEN: "It wasn’t a serious budget, though."
JEFFRIES: "No, no, Joe, it’s a serious budget that will do several things. One, it will protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. The American people care about that issue. That’s a serious proposal. It will invest in building an economy that works for everyday Americans from the middle out and the ground up, continuing to drive down -- "
KERNEN: "I just meant it’s not going to go anywhere. That’s all I meant. It doesn’t have a chance of passing the House. That’s the thing."
