EXCERPT:
SETMAYER: "Okay, Biden's not president anymore. Justify this. Let's stay on topic. Justify this. You're okay with this? You think this is an honorable use of taxpayer dollars?"
MOYNIHAN: "So, look, think — "
SETMAYER: "Yes or no?"
MOYNIHAN: "I don't answer to you."
SETMAYER: "I think you can answer to the American people. Go ahead. I'm asking you a simple question."
RIGGLEMAN: "That's a no."
SETMAYER: "You have millions of people watching right now. Answer to them. You think this is honorable?"
MOYNIHAN: "I do not — "
NAVARRO: "Crickets."
SETMAYER: "You can't say yes or no. It's crazy."
SIDNER: "Lydia, answer the question. What do you think? Is this the right thing to do? Is this honorable?"
