messages that could shed important light on the plot to overturn the election. john wood who is a senior investigator for the january 6th committee joins me. plus, it s not just disney, ron desantis is stepping up his fight against so-called woke companies which stands to benefit the companies that help him out politically. we begin tonight with a republican party gone off the rails. what was once a self-described grand ole party advocating small government and national security now seems to be actively rallying against the very issues that just 5, 10, 20 years ago were their top priorities. first, you have the majority of republicans voting yesterday against the bipartisan chips bill that would create high-tech jobs and make the u.s. more competitive against china who republicans keep telling us is the big threat to america s future. republicans also in the main are declining to support the respect for marriage act. okay, family values party, or the inflation reduction act o
they included the mother-in-law of a sargent the bill is named after who slammed the hypocrisy of those republicans outside the capitol yesterday. every single one has pictures with veterans on their facebook pages, on their websites. well, screw that. they don t support veterans. if you vote no on this bill, you do not support veterans. joining me now is susan zeyer, mother-in-law of sergeant first class heath robinson and advocate of the pact act. condolences of your beloved son-in-law, but i want to show you this video again. i played it a second ago and want to show you again. i apologize for having you make you look at it. these are senators, high-five, celebrating the fact that they blocked this bill. that 25 senate republicans had previously support. when you see that, these
burns like in the spirit of the american like psyche. it s still painful what happened to those 3,000 people, the horrible way that they died, and the fact that the saudis have gotten a clone bill of health for it, clean bill of health. they get to have a golf tournament. donald trump is now they are literally lying and saying nobody really knows who yes, we do. the same people your thoughts. look, trump becoming a, you know, basically a street walker for the saudi golf tournament does not surprise me in the slightest. he is conveniental, repulsive and morally vacant in every way. the idea, however, you re right, there s a long arc of exposure to volatile chemicals and plastics that are burned in an uncontrolled way that cause damage to people who are around them. this is not a debatable thing. the science is absolutely done and settled on this matter and the people that believe that the

mcconnell packing and brick this bill back, because these folks deserve this, and a few month ago the senate voted for and it now they decided to politicize it and use it as a ping poll ball and especially susan collins who is ever so upset about it. she voted against it because of another bill that made her angry. these people should never claim the patriotic imprimatur of supporting these people. they figure out how to work with so manchin and susan collins have to punish members of the united states military. they are not punishing joe manchin and chuck schumer. they punish people like the z o yer family. the whole iraq war debacle began with a lie from the bush administration that connected it to 9/11, and so 9/11 also still
