Our bill is a good deal to taxpayers. Just last week the Congressional Budget Office scored our bill as generating 72. 5 billion in savings over 10 years.

We can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons. Were telling them right now that were coming in very soon, the national guard, a lot of people, a lot of very tough people. Thats where real courage comes from. Not from turning on each other, but by turning towards one another. Not by sowing hatred and division, but by spreading love and truth. And were telling right now these protesters, and many should be arrested because these are professional agitators, professional anarchists, these are people that hate our country. So theres a tell of the tape between the 45th president of the United States and the 44th president of the United States. You know, there were some sad, pathetic tools of donald trump who still shamelessly defend absolutely everything he does and think if theyre over the top and bombastic in the attacks against people that tell the truth to you that somehow that will discourage others from telling the truth about donald trump and whats go
