To achief the 60 votes needed to advance the bill. This is just over an hour. All, i want to start by thinking the folks who are here that served, the folks here representing the people who served, the families of folks that i hear of the people who served. On june 16, we passed the pact act in the United States senate, not by a small margin. We passed it with 84 positive votes. The Appropriations Committee should be able to address those issues. He wants to stop that from happening. While we have and im going to say republicans because they are the ones that flipped republicans say i dont have a problem with the cost, but im going to vote no because of some of the reason whatsoever that is political malpractice and we need to hold people accountable. Im going to tell you something. I have been in this business 25 years and i have never seen anything that has happened like happened yesterday and what compounds it and makes it that much more difficult is we in essence yesterday took ben
