Congress, but surely looks like there is a connection there. todd: first big tech, as we know, squashed the hunter biden story prior to the 2020 election. now the mainstream media ignoring it. coverage numbers, this is from a year over the course of 20 dlts 21. world news tonight on abc 57 seconds, cbs evening news, 60 seconds and nightly news, 191 seconds. with the blow from democrats about democracy and trouble, how much of disservice is media doing not covering the hunter biden issue, one which many feel could have swayed the 2020 election? thanks to your coverage of it, it is about the only place senator johnson and i and we seem to be the only ones working on the issue and we ve been ....
Lack of regular order hasn t changed, either. so what we re waiting for today is the cbo analysis, and i want to just be emphatic that this is not going to be a full score. there is not going to be a ton of information, just a little information on what it does to federal deficits. this, of course s, is important because of the vehicle that senate republicans are currently using. other than that, no coverage numbers, no real information on sort of the impact of this bill. so given its lack of information, senate republicans are going to have to make up their mind in the next couple days whether they can support this bill. at the very same time, there are new poll numbers about this graham-cassidy plan. 27% of americans like the plan, 52% don t. less than half of republicans like the plan right now, 46%. what do republican lawmakers do with this? reporter: i think every republican on capitol hill, they re fully aware this is not a popular proposal. they get that the public is aware ....

Extensive discussion and not simply rush into this as you re trying to do before the end of the week? if i may, wolf, first, it does not affect a fifth of the question. we don t touch medicare, we don t touch the va. we don t touch that at all. it it s a medicaid expansion. but health care in general affects the economy. health care in general but not our bill, and that s an important distinction. second the cdc has to understand that we don t contribute to the budget. we actually lower spending. as regards kovrcoverage, the cb bases its decision on coverage as to whether there is an individual mandate. the american people hate the individual mandate. we repeal that which, by the way, has been shown to have no effect upon coverage. so the coverage numbers won t be valid because they re using something in which jonathan gruger, who wrote the aca, says is not valid which is the individual mandate has an ....
