we ll see you again tomorrow. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, lawrence. good evening, alex. so we are on to the united states senate, where things might take a while, because of the fact that the amendments are allowed, as you pointed out. but it is pretty clear that chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell are going to get this thing through the senate intact. they sure are. it s clear that tim kaine has a lot of, he is wounded, i think, in many ways, by the way the white house put the mountain valley pell plane in the steel. but it sounds lake the democrats believe they need to be the adult in the room and set aside the personal concerns and ultimately say yes to something they never wanted to be part of to begin with. well, democrats, of course, have the curse of responsibility. yeah. they are the responsibility party. the other party is the not serious party, and so democrats frequently found themselves casting difficult votes in
and none of them will ever give you an example. of how they could obtain a better agreement with kevin mccarthy. and they will never be pressed by it viewers on that point. the new republican rule now, when voting for a bill, the joe biden negotiator and support, is to stress the very craziest republican ideas that you support, that will never happen. that is what marjorie taylor greene did today, one announcing that she was voting, not just to increase the debt ceiling, but to actually eliminate it for two years, something she said she would never do. she camouflaged her vote announcement on twitter with a stream of saying, once we pass the debt ceiling bill, these are just a few of the things house republicans will be able to do it in appropriations to take down the deep state.
clinton, 30 years ago. he also served in the obama white house, same with steve ricchetti, who began as white house service 30 years ago in the clinton white house, where he was involved in every legislative action on the clinton agenda. steve ricchetti also served in the obama biden administration was now deputy white house chief of staff in the biden harris administration. president and his negotiating team are serious people. and hakeem jeffries is right. they did an incredibly good drop. and i m thankful for the leadership of president joe biden. and avoiding a catastrophic default. i am thankful of the leadership of president joe biden in finding a way to an agreement that will avoid a hostage taking situation for the balance of the 118th congress. and i m thankful for the leadership of president joe

punish doctor fauci, peter strike, james comey and john brennan by defunding the retirements. terminate all government funded covid vaccine programs. disband the 87,000 irs army. take down biden s domestic chair units in the fbi, doj and all the security punish everyone mentioned in the durham report for pushing the trump hoax, cut funding from all defense actually cities, cancel funding for the fbi s new headquarters in virginia, defund fda hold faces courts accountable for spying on over 270,000 americans. none of those things will happen. even marjorie taylor greene knows that none of those things will happen. but on a day when she is caving and voting for an agreement negotiating by joe biden, you the kind of thing she said she would never vote for, shasta
