well, i mean, the republicans don t care about getting things done, right? they want to stop government, they want to cut back programs. there s nothing they want to move forward in charge, except tax cuts. other than that, what else did trump care about in the republicans getting done through legislation? very, very little. the democrats want the legislate. and it a very difficult process, particularly with a 50-50 senate. yeah, they are they know if they have any chance in 2022, they have to get this done, the infrastructure bill. i mean the infrastructure bill within the next month or two, that s going happen. but again, you don t want it to be at the end of such a bloody process that the people that these provisions are helping, the people supporting individually don t feel like you re helping them. that makes sense. we re running over on time. do you have a dylan quote or ....
Who would think that people would be shooting guns around a stadium? so d.c. is just what because dodge city again. remind us of the 90 s when the crack co-era bodies left and right. numbers 3 and 400 people dying a year the numbers seem to be going up again. we had 120 homicides right now and that s 5% increase of homicides over last year. another thing i want to mention in the month of july, we lost 8 people to covid-19 but we lost 21 people to homicides including a 6-year-old girl that was shot and killed in washington, d.c. this is ridiculous. our officials need to figure out something to i don t know if we need do gun buy back programs. get out here and educate the kids to get some more programs going. but it s not just the kids it s ....
