position because there were nine house democrats who said that they wanted had deadline or they weren t even going to vote for the budget resolution and that is unfortunate, but these things happen. so that deadline got set. and i ve said from the beginning, i think i said it on your show the other day, that is arbitrary and the president made that clear today. six minutes, six days, six weeks, we ll get it done. we need time to negotiate. there was a lot of time to negotiate the infrastructure bill and there were skeptics like me who said i don t think it will get done and i m happy to be wrong about that. now we need time to negotiate on this build back better act and i believe that we will be able to do that. natasha lindstaedt is joining us from us. and i want to ask you about that quote from president biden, it doesn t matter whether it is in

in her own words what happened and why. a different prosecutor then took over the case against jared long. his name was mark blankenship. and as he looked over the case he came to a different conclusion about who was most responsible. i felt that the mastermind of the crime was jessie. she didn t pull the trigger, but without her this doesn t happen. what bothered me was that the bar got set at 22 years for the master mind of the crime. so blankenship did what he thought he had to do be fair and offered jared a deal, too. 30 years in prison for pleading guilty to first degree murder. jared agreed. jared at times is sort of being portrayed as this kind of victim, this little bit of jessie she was the mastermind. but vince was shot nine times in the head and face. you cannot discount that for
