Neil Chard Cat thank you very much. I want to pursue all of this with Mark Green the also playing a very crucial role looking at what happened in the last attempt on Donald Trumps life. Congressman chairman. Always good to have you. You been hearing a lot about your many of your colleagues blaming the democrats in the rhetoric that Donald Trump doing the same and its kind of it diffuse. What you think of that . Clearly, you know, neil, this whole assault really a lot of folks hear about things that trump said regarding january the 6th. He was very clear that peaceful protest. And they have taken this as a political opportunity to bash him and say that he is anti democracy in all of that. You look at the incident at arlington the other day the things that they said about that, totally wrong e. Not what the president is about. He loves the military got he was there that he is loved by those 30 Family Members ever since the incident occurred. They just say all these hateful things about the man and you cant be surprised when stuff like this happens. So im very frustrated with that. Neil understand where youre coming from and im glad that Donald Trump survived yet another attempt on his life. But its not is not the first time of course. He has also given incendiary apartment blaming haitian immigrants for eating cats and dogs i could go on about hockey about babies getting killed after their delivery and seeing that his opponents were all for that procedure. Racist comments that sums that may be were intended but came across as that, calling im only the only reason im mentioning any of this is doesnt extreme Rhetoric Work both ways and that Donald Trump himself should be careful with this . Look, to Fact Check just one of the items you mentioned, the Virginia Governor who was a former, you know, physician did say the bill was to allow abortion up to a point of labor, right, and delivering. And interestingly enough, the democrats, i wish the president had mentioned this cat every single one of them but one voted to allow abortion all the way up the labor.
