And I'm Jessica Tarliff.

It was actually shocking to me on the Senate deal that I think it came from Ted Cruz of all.

I mean, he loves to get to the airport.

We know that.

But that it came from him.

And it felt like actually a big, in the term that you already use, self-owned for the Republicans, because they had always been saying, well, ICE is already funded.

So what are you guys talking about?

But clearly there was some money that could be cleaved out to make sure that we could reopen.

But Trump stomped on that.

And I wanted to get your take on

the other kind of parallel story going on with Trump vis-a-vis the war in Iran.

So he posted this morning that we're not going to be attacking the Iranians essentially for the week, which means when the market is open, as far as I can see.

So he wanted to calm the markets down before...

They opened and this will go till Friday.

But Iranian state media, and I get it, it's Iranian state media, is saying that there have been no good faith negotiations, which was the linchpin of why Trump said we could take this break.

How do you see things at the moment in terms of the potential for negotiation with the Iranians?

Or what do you think comes next in this?

Well, I think...

I'm sure that you caught Scott Besson with Kristen Welker yesterday.

He was really on one.
