officials and other colleagues trying to understand what the implications were. so i am going back to the hill today, going to meet with a lot of of my colleagues and get to where we need to go. i know we have to pay our bills. that is probably the most overriding thing driving me. but as i said yesterday, there are parts of this bill that i would not vote for if they were a free standing bill. the whole process is not one that is the way that the government should operate. we need regular order. that to me, congresswoman, sounds like a reluctant yes at this point. am i reading that right? i am not going to tell you one way or the other because i am going to keep asking questions and if i learn anything that s very disturbing today, i will have you know, i want to understand how precedent setting this bill is. how will this impact future bills? what are the domestic spending cuts, what are the programs really going to cut? are seniors going to be hurt. real questions th
things. so most weddings aren t complete without a little music, deejay, band, maybe a wedding singer. cindy and scott are newlyweds. who whoop-de-do! he loves her, but she loves this guy right here and he loves somebody else you just can t win and so it goes ? that is adam sandler in the wedding singer. what you would have paid for wedding singer back then nowhere near if you pay today. how expensive to say i do in 2023. harry enten, what the morning number? it is large. all right. this morning s number is $29,000. that s the average cost of a wedding in 2023. $29,000. that s up 17% from pre-pandemic

WASHINGTON - When Donald Trump on Wednesday became the first president impeached twice, he did so as a leader increasingly isolated, sullen and vengeful.
With less than seven days remaining in his presidency, Trump s inner circle is shrinking, offices in his White House are emptying, and the president is lashing out at some of those who remain. He is angry that his allies have not mounted a more forceful defense of his incitement of the mob that stormed the Capitol last week, advisers and associates said.
i just want to show the trend line. the trend line is not good for the president. should the president be impeached and removed from office? back in march, 68% of democrats say that, only 4% of republicans. now today it s up to 87% of democrats, only 6% of republicans. that stayed pretty constant. but look at the independent number. 40% in march, 60% now. if you re a republican house member, whoop-de-do. if you re a senator who has to iran statewide in a reasonably competitive state, you re watching that number. the republican number gives you some solace, but that independent number doesn t. people all along see this as a reason to get rid of him. if that number starts ticking above 50%, that could be an issue if those folks are motivated to move the needle.
but the more he pecks away at her the chances go up. many republicans are upset that donald trump is able it to dominate the headlines. he has said his policies are coming, but we are more than a year away from the general election. how specific do, does he need to be here in the next few weeks and months in order to maintain or at least gain legitimacy. he is going to need to drill down and begin to answer questions about what would he do no iraq, what s he going to do with israel and egypt and so far and so on. and what s he going to do to grow the economy. it s interesting, errol that after all the hoop-de-do in the last few days in the debate and afterwards which was all about the antics, the behavior of the
