I hope we get to speak to that a little bit. And I think the consequence of inaction every day in Ukraine are dire. I\u2019ve been speaking to some of our \u2014 our G7 partners. And you just got back, Chuck.<\/p>\n<p>LEADER SCHUMER: I did. I did. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: They\u2019re very concerned.<\/p>\n<p>And \u2014 and also, we need to \u2014 we \u2014 we need to \u2014 in terms of the supplemental, we need to deal with the Israeli portion. But that also contains a significant portion having to do with humanitarian assistance into the Palestinian area, which I think is important.<\/p>\n<p>And we have to replenish the air defenses for Israel, and we have to work on making sure they don\u2019t face the threat from \u2014 they can face the threat from the \u2014 from what\u2019s going on in the Middle East, not just from Hamas but from Iran.<\/p>\n<p>And so \u2014 and government funding, I\u2019m sure you guys had all \u2014 that all taken care of. But all kidding aside, I think that it\u2019s Congress\u2019s responsibility to fund the government. We got to get about doing it. A shutdown would damage the economy significantly, and I think we all agree to that. And we need bipartisan solutions.<\/p>\n<p>So, I want to hear from the group. And I want to hear from all of you here. So, thank you all for coming. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to be talking about.
