we re saying, what can we do? how can we get this across the finish line? if they are not going to work with us in good faith, we will do what we always do and that is protect the country, because this isn t about history. this isn t about preserving the history books. i mean, it is partially about that, but importantly, it is about a growing violent extremism movement, the growing of the big lie that is being used to advance voter suppression laws around the country. more than 20% of gop voters now believe that they lied, and that number is growing. so we have to stop this. we have to make sure, for the good of our country and our democracy, that we re doing what s necessary to stop this trend. finally, let me ask you today, as a former retired member of the army rangers, u.s. 82nd airborne division for the viewers who don t know, those are two very elite forces in our nation s military. you re a bronze star recipient. i want to get your reaction to president biden s speech today at
