Broadly very well and truly have failed in their effort to repeal obamacare and to repeal the Affordable Care act. More coming up later on in the show tonight, including some news about how opponents of what the republicans are trying to do are really not taking time off to celebrate here. They are keeping the pressure turned up high and hot on republican senators to try to keep this thing dead now that it has died. Again, more to say about that tonight. A lot of reporting to do on that this evening. I have to say, big picture, though, even as were following this sort of day to day and hour by hour now, just stepping back from this for a second, this is a remarkable place we have ended up. In this last election, republicans got control of the senate, they got control of the house and got control of the white house and even with that total control in washington, they really are about to hit six months in power, which i think they hit on thursday of this week. By the end of this week, it

Corruption taking place, was largely the fact that we dont want our people like Vice President biden and his son creating to the corruption already in ukraine. Important to note trump is making a wholly unsubstantiated claim when he alleges corruptions by the bidens. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing. In reality joe biden was the one working to purge corruption from ukraine and trump is the one ordering foreign intervention in president ial politics. And heres trump seeming to confirm what we know from press accounts about the whistleblower complaint that put this entire scandal into motion that trump tied a promise to a foreign leader to something of urgent concern. Its very important to talk about corruption. If you dont talk about corruption, why would you give money to a country that you think is corrupt . One of the reasons the new president got elected is he was going to stop corruption. So its very important that on occasion you speak to somebody about corruption. Very impo
