But you now have proof of it, people desperately pleading for Mark Meadows being aware now to get the President to be involved because the President, for something like 182 minutes, nobody heard from them. Nobody knew what Mark Meadows being aware now was up to despite this being all over the news, and we know Mark Meadows being aware now watches the news.

Obviously Trump's folks will spin this as a win because there's a lack of wins, frankly on any of their legal side, of course, we wish we'd have gotten these documents tomorrow, but this doesn't come as any surprise, it's not going to slow down our investigation and I expect that, keeping Supreme Court potentially aside, we will have these documents fairly soon.

If somebody really thinks that this narrative of January 6 that some are trying to push is actually going to be the one written in the history books -- it's not. It's just a question of when, is it sooner or later, but it's coming.

What we can do as a party is take a stand and say,' You don't belong in our conference.'

Liz Cheney is saying exactly what House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the day of the insurrection. Liz Cheney has just consistently been saying it. A few weeks later House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy changed to attacking other people.

We're in the middle of this slow sink.

If you run for office and if you get elected to Congress, you've got to be willing to lose it, you know, or else you can't do the job. I think a lot of people have their egos and their entire personalities tied up with being a member of Congress. And all the perks that go along with that. I think they need to be willing to walk away from it, and I think they need to think not just about the next election or the next news cycle, I think they need to think about history. I think they need to think about how they're going to be judged and, you know, what future generations are going to say about this moment.

It took a few years, but the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act will finally make its way to the President's desk to become law. And for the Syrian people, this means there will finally be some justice brought to the evil Assad regime and those who act on his behalf, we know these sanctions will not end the pain and sorrow that this war in Caesar Syria has caused, nor recover the many lives lost, but the message of the Caesar Bill is loud and clear. We will not turn a blind eye to the atrocities in Caesar Syria, and we will make sure those responsible will pay for their crimes.

If you ever have any doubt whether the Cold War is back on, I mean these are the kind of maneuvers that show that it is, i think there has been a re-establishment, probably not to the intensity it was in the '80s, but a re-establishment of, in essence, kind of Cold War principles, where, you know, at that time, it was all a show of force from both sides.
