First 90 secondsSpeaker 00:00
Now a look at the state of Pennsylvania. It's one of the most important states in this presidential race. [upbeat music] Both, uh, Pennsylvania senators, Democrat John, uh, Fetterman and Republican Dave McCormick voted in favor of the bill.
John Fetterman· Guest0:12
In this situation, we both agree that shutting our government down is wrong for our commonwealth and for our nation.
Dave McCormick· Guest0:19
So we're looking for ways to find common ground, and when we disagree, [laughs] we, we disagree, but, uh, when we can agree, we agree.
John Fetterman· Guest0:26
Our votes are about country over party at this point.
Dave McCormick· Guest0:29
Well, we're trying to set a good example because we have lots of disagreements, but we trust each other, we like one another, and we look for ways to work together.
Jason Calacanis· Host0:37
I thought the best way to kick this off was to actually give both of you a few moments to just say what's on your mind. And so I think in the rules of parliamentary decorum, Senator Fetterman, as a senior sitting senator from Pennsylvania, maybe you can start.
John Fetterman· Guest0:53
Um, I'm proud, uh, to, to call Senator McCormick a, a, a good friend. Uh, and now things are very more polarized, and now I refuse to, uh, engage in the kinds of extremism. And w- you know, we're gonna fight together for Pennsylvania and for our nation right now, and we're gonna continue to have conversations like this, you know, whether in Pennsylvania or here a- across. So, um, so we, uh, we have to find a better way forward through a lot of the circumstances.
