today. you think you can guarantee by monday morning that the senate will have passed this bill? jim, i am very optimistic that buy monday, this bill will be headed to the house and from there to the president s desk. this is just the latest in a string of significant accomplishments by congress and our president. he s going to be voting on, excuse me, he s going to be signing into law next week, two big bills that we just voted out of here. one, the burn pit bill that provides for veterans healthcare. billions of dollars to care for veterans harmed by burn pit exposure and another, the so-called chips act, to bring manufacturing back to the united states. i think it will be a very long night here tonight and tomorrow. the rules are that we keep voting on amendments until everyone agrees to stop. so this process only ends by exhaustion and given the makeup of the senate, that can take a
let s watch that. my son existed. jesse was real. i am a real mom. there s records of his birth. of me. i mean, i have a history. and there s nothing that you could have found. because it doesn t exist. that i m deep state. it s just not true. you know, i wonder, drew, as much your heart goes out to that mother there, and it certainly does, you know, does this breakthrough, does this puncture the alex jones, you know, conspiracy theory fog that he puts out there to all of his listeners? what do you think? i don t think so, jim. he is so invested in this garble and quite frankly, his core list listeners are with him. they go to the conspiracy before they believe the facts. that was a tremendously powerful moment and to show you what kind
