that people like jim acosta just don t care because anything is better than trump in their religion and they are coming, you know, as my mamma would say, jesus is coming back, like it s reckoning. it s time to think about what you ve been worshipping this whole time. greg: martha, jesus is coming back. what i take away from this turn of events that you guys are all talking about is, this might be really bad if we need it to be. so, we re going to keep this, you know, all the supporters of the president, and we re going to keep this on the burner because if we need this, we re going to employ this exit strategy, right? so they are happy because now they have an exit strategy, and you can kind of trace the ups and downs of the biden favorability, right? because before he ran, or when he was running, they liked everybody but him. david axelrod came out and said he was mr. mcgoo wondering around the stage. he has no idea where he is and he shouldn t be doing this. something to that eff
home for the day. i think the pro-mccarthy votes, pro-house order folks, are willing to stick this out for kwooil quite a while longer, too. the noon to 6:00 schedule makes it easier garrett and you have to wonder how long it will last. thank you, friend. ryan nobles, let turn to you. and if the reporting holds and there are question marks and things hold as the plans that we think are going to hold do and by 6:00 tonight, we will probably be done, right? if in fact the house does vote to adjourn, they re all going to come back tomorrow morning and we will wake up in the morning and wait for the house to come into session and it will be okay, what changed? now what? are we going to do another round of three votes that have the same result as this one? what needs to happen by let s say 11:00 a.m. tomorrow to change the game here? not for kevin mccarthy, but bu the grandiose statement here, for america, right, to actually get a functioning congress in place? hallie i think the on
