Talking with One Voice

Hello and welcome to the Talking with One Voice podcast. This podcast is a production of the National Tooling and Machining Association and the Precision Metal Forming Association. I'm Caitlin Sickles with the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell. And joining me on this episode is Paul Nathanson, also here at Bracewell. Hey, Paul. Hey, Caitlin. And Omar Nashashibi with Inside Beltway. Good morning, Omar. Hi, everybody.

We are recording on June 15th, where in Washington, it's about a billion degrees. There is a UFC ring on the lawn of the White House and the reflecting pool is blue. So those are the updates. And scaffolding in front of the Kennedy Center. Yeah, it's all going great. Something's going on there. Some kind of remodeling. I don't know what's going on.

Yeah. Yes. So that's great. President Trump celebrated his 80th birthday over the weekend with the aforementioned UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. Well, it was also Flag Day. Note all the political, you know, podcasts say they did it on his birthday and it was Flag Day. We mentioned that the president was here this weekend, but he is headed out of town for some key diplomatic meetings.

But before we get to that, let's talk about what is happening here in D.C., aside from all of the fanfare up on Capitol Hill and in Congress. Omar, let me turn it to you. It's been a couple of weeks since we last recorded. And let me ask you to give folks an update on what is happening in Congress. Sure. In the House and the Senate, they did finally get President Trump's funding bill for CBP and ICE.
