forma sessions. just to keep the appearance of being open. so a recess appointment, the two to be long the too long not to read version, would be difficult to do. you asked about the end game. it s not clear to me that there is an end game. you know, one of our colleagues wrote about how as much as he s known for saying you re fired, president trump doesn t really like to directly fire people. it s true. he s a people pleaser. the people around him, he is a people pleaser personally when he s in a small group. he had his bodyguard deliver a letter to the fbi director while the director was in california. right. just to give you some context on how he fires people. quickly, on it s great. the gop still searching for a way forward on health care. yes. they wouldn t do a straight repeal. now what? what is the path forward for them? again, we don t know. and you know what, mitch mcconnell doesn t know either. and that s what s remarkable about this.
overcome that and fight that but that s the violation of the law. this gop has been so bold. they bragged and now said the headache has been removed, we can move forward. in the courtroom, they argue that the retrogression was fine and bragging now about their efforts and bragging about unconstitutional action. being open. this is how open. so i tell people, it s not so much donald trump, look at what, he s talking about what he may do. we have a governor and a republican legislator and a republican group who have indeed done it. now, they ve been called guilty but this shows us why not having the voting rights act is so important and it s so dangerous because it gives these groups the ability to do what they re doing without being checked on the front end through preclearance. reverend, thank you so much for your time. we greatly appreciate it.
