i'm raphael warnock and we approve this message. >> cnn's daniel dale joining us now with a fact check. okay, so this is dog eat dog. what is going on? >> it sure is. okay. i know we're talking about a dog here. but we're also talking about a central issue in this key georgia race. the democratic incumbent warnock has been pounding walker, the republican challenge over walker's documented history about false claims about his past and so walker made this dog claim as a response. well your calling me a liar. well he tweeted, warnock is willing to lie about having a dog and walker's campaign posted an interesting video that suggested that the dog from warnock's ads in 2020, a beagle named alvin, had gone, quote, missing. take a look. ♪ in the arms of the angel, far away from here ♪ >> so, as a palmerainan owner, coy not exist looking into this. did rafael warnock lie having a dog. the answer is no, it is walker's claim that is false. so the dog in those popular warnock ads from 2020 kwho is a very good boy, belongs to one of warnock's supporters and he never said alvin was his in the

warnock to keep his seat, -- john fetterman in pennsylvania, mark kelly. -- do you think this plays? does the i.r.a. -- or is it gas prices? i think because you are the transportation secretary and have to think about gas prices. how much of this, this sort of lofty proposition of new future, vis-À-vis that administration, and how much of this is about just people saying, oh, my $3 gas is $3 a gallon, not six? >> i think people are looking around at how their lives are different, how they are shaped by forces around the world and political decisions made in washington. that is one of the reasons that gas prices is something that is on everyone's mind. obviously,, gas prices are not controlled by any individual policy maker in washington. but they are part of what it is like to live in the american economy and americans hold those in charge responsible for the overall conditions. and to some extent, we have leaned into that. the president took a lot of steps to help stabilize gas prices, not that he controls them. but things like releasing the oil from the oil reserve was designed to

so the next time you see a mark kelly in arizona or raphael warnock in georgia with or a maggie hassan in new hampshire or a michael bennett in colorado say, hey, we want gas prices to be lower, you know they are lying because they stood up and voted raise the gas taxes, stick it to the producers, make our consumers pay more at the pump. that's the end result they want, and their voting record proves it. maria: well, it looks like her going to be successful in this, and do you believe that taxes will go higher on most americans? what about that promise that taxes would not be impacted for anybody making $400,000 or less? >> well, it's a flat out lie. the congressional budget office analyzed this bill, and it concluded a very large portion of it would be borne by people making under $400,000 a year with, that just about every group of taxpayers would see their taxes go up. the democrats know this. and, by the way, we had amendments to say let's not have any of these taxes fall on people making under $400,000. the democrats all voted no. they are lying, and you know what they're counting

john fetterman or mehmet oz, herschel walker, raphael warnock. and so it does make a difference. but, yeah, i think there is an argument that this is a bad yar for d year for democrats, joe biden's approval rights are still around 40%, way under water, so if republicans fail to pick up the senate at this point, you could argue whether it is trump or something else, that it is on the republicans themselves and it will also probably as a statement about mitch mcconnell' deep felt desire, there is nothing he wants more than to regain the position of senate majority leader and among other things that would allow him to block biden legislation and especially biden nominees to the various courts. >> so, chris, there was this hearing before a judge in florida over whether to release the affidavit to justify the search warrant into mar-a-lago. donald trump had lawyers there for the arguments. but only there. why is that important that they were there as observers and not more than that? >> well, it is fascinating because, you know, he put out a statement saying that he wanted the entire

he has refused to debate democratic senator raphael warnock, and you can understand why when you see his long list of gaps, which includes lying about being an fbi agent. declaring that their 52 states in america you know, basic american geography. just like in arizona, georgia was a state that republicans were open to win back, but walker is currently trailing senator warnock in the latest batch of polls. and of course, you can't forget about mid odds -- the cruditÉs king himself who is being picked by trump as well. his democratic opponent has successfully invested odds for months is an out of touch celebrity from new jersey, not pennsylvania. and of history leading fetterman so bad and polls that even donald trump's reportedly afraid odds might lose the race. mr. elections don't favor the party in power. obama lost congressional seats in 2010. trump lost congressional seats in 2018. trump's handpicked senate candidates might ruin the republicans chances for retaking the chamber. trump might help break a long tradition. his candidates, yeah, they are that bad. now, new polling fro

herschel walker in georgia against raphael warnock. then in ohio, polls suggest it is tight, too, between jd vance and democrat tim ryan. what's the anxiety level among republicans now in the key battleground states? >> leader mcconnell said it best, the senate is a completely different ball game than the house. with the majorities that are so narrow, it can be a few 10,000 votes in one state that determines the senate majority. i think the anxiety, i know as we're approaching election day, is definitely there. if candidates falter, it could blow what should have been a slam dunk opportunity for republicans to take back the upper chamber. >> now, most observers some months ago thought that republicans were a cinch to win the house, and maybe do so in lop-sided fashion. the analysts would say, sure, gop is still favored but not by a lot. it could be really close. there is a growing sense that democrats have a shot to potentially keep the chamber there, too. republicans on the house side, how panicked are they? >> well, i think, you know

herschel walker, the ex football star, is going head to head with senator raphael warnock in georgia. he has name recognition but that's not always a good thing. especially when the name is associated with domestic violence. walker's ex-wife says he once held a gun to her temple, and threatened to, quote, blow her brains out. walker, interestingly, doesn't deny these accusations but blames his past violence on struggles with mental health. he lied about working on law enforcement and about being an fbi agent. those claims were recently debunked by the atlanta journal-constitution. he has been accused of hiding three children that he fathered after chiding absentee black fathers, and has been criticized for shady business ventures. it kind of seems like everything that comes out of his mouth is nonsense. he recently attacked the newly passed health care and climate bill, saying the money is going to trees, asking, quote, don't we have enough trees around here? all right, finally, we've got the television doctor, mehmet oz, a longtime new jersey resident running for senate in pennsylvan

warnock says, former president's continued claims of widespread voter fraud are just his way of saying that the votes of certain people don't count, can't count, and can't be real because the election outcome was not consistent with the mitt of white supremacy. so kurt, talk about that, talk about the fact that, basically, this is the result of the changing demographics in the fact that white voters, eventually, will be a minority of the voters. >> towards the end of the obama administration, the census bureau came out and said that by 2035, we are going to be a minority majority country. in this country. and that really terrified the republican party. they realized that their use of attacking minorities, the use of anti immigrant policies, their use of suppressing and demoralizing anyone who didn't look like them, that was an electoral defeat. that was gonna be baked into the demographics. they came up with a plan and defended very simple. what if we don't let those people vote? what if we make it harder for them to vote? what if we do everything we can to discourage them from partici

democrats in competitive races like mark kelly and raphael warnock are touting pieces of this, like the drug prices that are popular with seniors and older women above 50 who float between the two parties and progressives see it as an opportunity to tout a major investment in combatting climate change. i'm glad you mentioned the aca. i covered that as well. the big difference between that and this, there was an enormous amount of anger and animosity at the aca. this bill, on the other hand, is quite popular with the american public. they're not quite as easy to undermine, but republicans are arguing this is going to make inflation worse. >> this is not quite the same what we saw in 2010, obviously times are different. but democrats are still fighting inflation, there's still some uphill battles they need to win, including the president's approval ratings, which have been not so great. >> right. you can sense the tension from joe biden's own comments where he was mentioning that there were so many good things in this legislation, that at the end of the day might reduce health care costs

now in georgia, favorite son herschel walker is less than two points down on overn liberal raphael warnock o and nevada open borders nightmare incumbent catherine cortez masto is up by nearly four on adam laxalt. mark kelly , who has been a rubber stamp for chuckuc schumer on everything leavesbl blake masters again, who'sak, the young guy never run before by eight or so. and in the most expensive raceac in america, in pennsylvania, we're supposed to give up all hope because they say thats uncle fester is beating dr. oz by ten point four points. okay, let me remind everyone it's only the end of august. most people aren't even following these races yet, but they are following their family budgetss. they know that we're already ina recession, sayslr 60 80 percent of those polled by nbc. the democrats are so bad for america that now 58% believein that our best daysd are behind us . so pessimism, we're a growth stock. . e democrats would be long americans are getting poorerer and weaker with liberals running the show. the media knows this. the democrats k know thats the candidates running on th

georgia senator raphael warnock voted with schumer 97% of the time and ninety six percent with violence. e nevada senator catherine cortez masto also voted 97% with schumer nearly 93% of the time with biden and arizona senator mark the astronaut. kelly is 96%, with chuck schumer over 94% with biden committed liberals. every single one of them. and now they'll have anothere scam to line up behind tomorrow. joe biden is expected to unilaterally just grant ten thousand in student loannt forgiveness for every borrower borrower with less l income, with an income less than, one hundred twenty five thousand dollars. now, not only is that constitutionally suspect, the penn wharton budget model finds that would add three 30 billion dollars to the deficit. the deficit, it's sond outrageous. i can't even say the line. okay, not n to mention it's the opposite of being populist. it's just a bribe to win back liberal. well, to do voters, blue collar workers out there. sorry, you're out of luck. no help for you. now get this. the richest 40% of americans, they carry 60% of the student loan debt while

new polling from emerson college shows republican herschel walker with a slight lead over raphael warnock. 46 to 44%, inside the margin of error, well inside. in the race for governor brian kemp with a four-point lead over stacey abrams. and then another big headline out of georgia, new insight into fulton county's investigation into potential 2020 election interference. the district attorney there says she's about 60% through witness testimony. she's hoping to wrap up this investigation within the next few months. this is one of the legal shadows hanging over former president trump. blayne alexander is joins us in atlanta. tell us more about where this investigation stands and what these final few months apparently final look like. >> you know, hallie, before we jump into that it's important to put this in quick context. it's very easy to forget by the amount of times we talk about this investigation, the amount of times you see me on tv talking about this but the grand jury process is a secret one. we know some of the high-profile people who have been called to testify, the legal battle

and the democratic senator, raphael warnock is going to try and former football star. herschel walker. all, right it has been a while, i am pleased to bring in my friend tiffany cross. those of the cross connection, tiffany you as always have a loaded show coming up this morning. however, the story is intriguing by virtue of the fact that you are in atlanta native. i must warn you to not get caught passing out waters or bags of chips the voters. >> first, of all it's wonderful to see my friend but you are so right. this ruling i'm so happy that you lied about what happened in georgia. this is why it's so dangerous alley to say, this voter suppression is a result of the big lie. this level of voter suppression has that been for decades as you well know my friend. and in georgia all of the long line that you will see, 20 to 30 years ago they're along winds mostly in black communities. that is voter suppression, they continue to control the clothing of the polls and communities of colors. brian kemp has been an avid suppressor of voters since the 90s. he and stacey abrams

warnock and now this announcement is going to come directory from the president in just a few minutes. you can rest assured this is going to be one of the things that the administration and democrats really take to the campaign trail as they try to talk about their accomplishments ahead of the midterm elections. al >> we will look for that announcement. >>> democrats are newly optimistic today after last night's election results. cnn projects that democrat pat ray ya ryan is the winner of a house seat in a new york swing district. he built his campaign as a referendum on roe versus wade. democrats are hoping that message continues to help them and hurt republicans in november. cnn's harry enten is here now. what do you see in the results? >> let's start off in new york 19, a special house district that joe biden won by one 1.5 points. a democratic overperformance. now, in new york '23, another special house election chryou s the republican here wins by about 6.5. keep in mind that donald trump won this district by 11.2 points. another democratic over performance. and in fact, alisyn,

warnock could keep his seat, mark kelly, and fetterman, and do you think this plays, does the ira, does all of this play a role or does gas prices and i ask you because you are the transportation sec and you have to think about gas prices, how much of this is sort of the lofty proposition of a new future, vis-a-vis the biden administration, and how much of this is just about people saying oh, my gas is $3 a gallon, not $6? >> i think people are looking around at how their lives are different, how they're shaped by forces around the world, and political decisions, made in washington, that's one of the reasons why gas prices is something that's on everybody's mind. obviously, you know, gas prices aren't controlled by any individual policy maker in washington, but they're a part of what it is like to live in the american economy, and they hold, you know, americans hold those in charge responsible for the overall conditions, and to some extent, we've leaned into, that the president took a lot of steps to help stabilize gas price, not that, you know, he controls them, but things like releasi

. >> let the truth -- >> raphael warnock accepted three debates to herschel walker. >> j.d. vance calls law enforcement corrupt that makes me angry, makes my job harder and so does his plan to eliminate an agency that combats violent drug traffickers. >> republicans on defense about policing, on the right other republicans punching back saying they see the new inflation reduction act as something they will run on and against because they say it's hollow and betting americans will continue to feel inflation going well into the voting booth. that's a lot of different issues up in the air and as mentioned it's complicated. we go to a veteran analyst juanita tolliver. >> thanks, good to be back. >> the primaries take up understandable energy and yet there's so many issues that are going to affect turnout. i'm curious what you see, given all the above. >> looking i'm seeing the main drivers right now that you previewed even are going to be around access to abortion and basic health care. it's going to be around a response and a rebuttal to some of the harmful, hateful narratives

warnock. the democrat, by four points in that race. it raises an interesting possibility to me that you see in there in georgia is something that might be an opportunity for democrats elsewhere. brian kemp, went to war with donald trump anyone, trump went after him in >> well, he won big. primary. >> did that make kemp more acceptable to swing voters in georgia, in a way that maybe herschel walker isn't? could you see a split in the vote in georgia, which act as decisive? >> yes, i think that could happen. georgia is such, it's such an interesting experience, because -- and i think that -- states like georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, really on the front line from november to january of 2020, those voters pay really deep attention, and they've been deeply affected by it. and the fact that, in georgia, republicans, it is a republican state that's been trending blue. that is different in wisconsin. pennsylvania and michigan are going the other way. it's been trending blue. those republicans hung

warnock. these are concerns that mcconnell has about his positioning to regain the majority. so, at the end of the, day this was definitely supposed to look like an easy grab bag for republicans, but as you saw in that mcconnell soundbite, he's an engine that may not be so easy. >> still, 80 days to. go a lot left, twists and turns will be ahead of. us allie raffa on capitol hill, thank you so much. >> to the war in ukraine. attacks are stepping up in the russian-controlled region of crimea. overnight, russian air defense took out a drone above the headquarters of russia's black sea fleet instead possible. now, the mayor there said no one was injured, but at the same time, tensions are growing at a key nuclear power point in eastern ukraine. the united nations voice is warning of a potential radioactive disaster strikes on the now russian controlled power plant continue. abc -- 's life in key for us. megan, what more do we know about that drone strife, or that drone was shut down? >> exactly.

this just isn't about senator chuck schumer, senator elizabeth warren, senator raphael warnock contacting white house officials and the president trying to get something done on this front. they are cognizant of the fact that their internal polling has shown that the youth vote in particular, youth support in particular has fallen off a cliff over the support of the last couple months. is that the driving force behind the policy? there have been intensive debates and deliberations about how to reach this point. very real disagreements about how to reach this point on the legal authority and on the academic side of things. when you talk to officials, they were able to thread a needle, one that wasn't going to make everybody totally happy but addressed issues the president wanted to address, and was able to do something substantial and significant for tens of millions of those that have student loan debt, i think there's the economic policy, the legal policy here, but there's most certainly a political element that white house officials, despite when asked about it were cognizant about proc

warnock, as well as arizona. >> and you can add wisconsin, which could be a pick up for the democrats. there's a race in north carolina that i don't think [inaudible] maybe a pick up at the supreme court -- courts justice. a pick up for african americans -- all of those are. pickups right now, i think republicans, if you give them true serum would say the odds of them of taking the senate back are significantly lower than they were two months ago. i think if you gained it right now and it's 100 days to election day, a lot of things could happen. a lot of things could change. but most of the prognosticators that have been talking about this have been wrong about what is going to be faced and november. i think this election, which again is a good thing, it's going to be very close, and i think democrats, big with democratic -- have to make the argument that we know what we are doing. we believe in the constitution. we believe and freedoms. we believe in equal justice for all. we believe inequality, and the other side has abandoned all those fundamental principles. they are not conservat

in georgia, senator raphael warnock leads the republican herschel walker by three points. and you add futures herschel walker's ex wives describing his threats while holding a gun to her head. and in wisconsin, our next guest, wisconsin's lieutenant governor, mandala barnes, leads republican senator ron johnson by four points. joining us now is wisconsin's democratic nominee for senator. governor barnes, good to see you, good to see you tonight. >> thank you. thanks for having me over today. >> let's talk about how you deal with a candidate -- there's a time where i remember that brown johnson was a fairly mainstream republican candidate what happens -- what happens now? because he's not, he's unendorsed conspiracy theorist, he has endorsed various levels of election denial. what does that make you need to do now? >> i'll tell you, the choice is simple. we are leading with our values, we are leading with our vision. on the other hand, you have ron johnson who is further, and further out of touch with reality. further out of touch for the reason he was elected to serve. lea

warnock and, of course, herschel walker, the republican former georgia star. and the governor's race is exciting, too. that's where you have stacey abrams taking on the incumbent republican brian kemp. what an epicenter of politics and of money. >> that sounds like the story of america at the moment, the epicenter of politics and money, mike. look, we reported earlier in the program that the republican senate committee is actually pulling money out of some of its races. pennsylvania and ohio being examples. are you seeing the same effect that you're seeing in georgia of outside money pouring into the states, pouring into those senate races, too? is this something that's happening across the tight senate races, battleground senate races, or is this particularly just true to georgia? >> katty, that is a great point. that stat you cited is a real sign of trouble for republicans. you can expect to see some of these outside groups making up for some of that. but this is a real change in the last couple weeks, when you have mitch mcconnell out there talking about th

i tell you what, it is interesting, especially in the south, to look at races like raphael warnock and herschel walker. that is another gigantic race that i feel like, for a while, especially in the early offering with warnock, it was fascinating to watch him be very sunny, very personable -- he is a charismatic guy, and did everything but mention the word democrat or biden. maybe if we had seen joe biden numbers raise, i wonder if you raphael warnock will mention him in november. . host: in declining invitations to debate the senator? guest: that has gone back and forth. walker said warnock won't debate and warnock says walker won't. it is a fascinating, fascinating raise, because both of the candidates have issues outside of politics, personal issues that have entered into this race. at the end of the day, you also have to wonder about the other races that are happening in that state, specifically brian kemp and stacey abrams and how that will direct. host: what does your gut say on these races? the senate in georgia, how do you think that will fall? guest: you know, everything to me

actually have herschel walker trailing raphael warnock, the democrat by four points in that race. it raises the interesting possibility, to me, it is seen there in georgia something that might be an opportunity for democrats elsewhere. brian kemp went to war with donald trump, and he won. trump ran in the primary, but brian kemp won. >> he won big. >> did that make kemp more acceptable to swing voters in georgia? in a way that maybe herschel walker isn't? can you see a split ticket vote in georgia, where that's a decisive factor? >> yes, i think that can happen, georgia is such an interesting experience because -- i think that states like georgia or michigan literally on the frontlines from november to january of 2020, those voters play really deep attention, and they've been deeply affected by. and the fact that in georgia, a republican state's been trending blue, -- in pennsylvania michigan go another way. republicans say it's been trending blue, those republicans hung on to the conventional leaders like kemp. and i think they're very concerned about, what they see in the perfor

he brings in the new senators from georgia our raphael warnock and john ossip and kind of prompts them to tell the other senate democrats, you know, we we made some promises and we need to keep those promises so is goes from being this idea that president trump throws out there in a video on twitter one afternoon to be a campaign issue in this very very unusual a special election to like the carved in stone economic agenda of the bind administration and underlying it david. it's not just that this is a sort of like a weird sequence of events that leads to this policy. it's also you know, it represents this larger wager that the biden administration makes early on, which is that if you give people in distress direct cash benefits or direct government benefits of another kind they recognize that you have done something concrete for them and they will reward you for it. so even before but even before you get to the issue of inflation and whether sending all that money out there helped overheat the economy. that basic betters doesn't pan out that we talked to members of the house who actua

raphael warnock against hershel walker in georgia. in ohio and wisconsin, mark kelly against masters in arizona, i'm hopeful for our products in november. 80 days to go to the midterms. congressman richie torres, thank you for coming on. we'd like to have you back sometime, sir. >> of course, take care. >> tomorrow on fax news sunday, trace gallagher will seek speak to new hampshire governor sununu and energy secretary, jennifer granholm. and this will only be on the fox news channel at 11 a.m. eastern. gillian: well, there are growing calls for new york's democratic governor to change the controversial no bail law. the bush comes after kathy hochul claims credit for rearresting who sucker punched a victim leaving him with a broken jaw next. i don't hydrate like everyone else. because i'm not everyone else. they drink what they're told to drink. i drink what helps me rehydrate and recover: pedialyte® sport. because it works... and so do i. ♪♪ hydration beyond the hype. ♪♪ ♪ ♪ how's he still playin'? aspercreme arthritis.

football star out of the university of georgia, wow, let's put him up against raphael warnock. what we are seeing is someone who has a history of violence, someone who consistently lies about his credentials, and someone who has not thought through policy. to have someone -- the reason he is there is because he is black, not because he can do the heavy lifting of being a u.s. senator. it was a cynical ploy. so the answer that he gave after uvalde, after the killings in uvalde, texas, where they said, how would you handle the issue of guns? and he said, well, cain slew abel, and then you have this disinformation. but we need is a department so you can have -- a department that looks at young men, looking at young women on social media, because of constitutional rights. it was like a hard drive that has been corrupted. so it had these little soundbites on their, then he stung them together. i know i need to say something about the bible, i know i need to say something about social media, i know i need to say something about constitutional rights and disinformation, and that is wh

in georgia you see raphael war warnock. in wisconsin we don't have a candidate yet. >> we can go over to the senate side now. >> you can basically see, look at the leads the different senate candidates have. these are the choice for senate. look at pennsylvania, look at georgia, look at wisconsin. look at fetterman's lead, 11 points. georgia, warnock's lead. barnes, a plus two points over ron johnson. >> here's the other thing. we're also talking about states that joe biden has won. that's the other reason democrats are feeling pretty good about what's going on in the senate. >> that's exactly right. if you look essentially at these states and you say, okay, what are the most competitive democratic seats, who won them in the last presidential election. look at all the seats democratically won. romney won all of them by double digits. look here at the 2020 midterm. joe biden won all of them. some were closer than others but this is a very different battleground than i think that a lot of people are used to. that's part of th

i don't think -- raphael warnock. what does that mean? i it means they have to lean very heavily in trying to get a base election out, an election that includes a lot of republicans and a lot of frustrated independents who are unhappy with wha these shakier candidates with less experience. stuart: has the raid at mar-a-lago shored up support for donald trump? >> absolutely, it has. i've been talking to consultants over the past week in terms of their reactions to it, getting a lot of different feedback. and they say one of the things that's happened is the dobbs decision on roe v. wade e which excited so many democrat voters, got their donors to start opening up their checkbooks, that's something hay see -- they see playing out right now in terms of the reaction to the raid. it's unprecedented, obviously, but i think it's made the excitement on the republican side match that kind of democrat enthusiasm. you're seeing two waves coming and crashing into each other. [laughter] stuart: fascinating, isn't it? especially if you like politics. b

cory booker and raphael warnock, who care about this a lot, came up with a proposal that kept the $4 billion in. it talked about poor farmers who needed the help, and much of the money will go to the same black farmers. should we still pursue in court this decision, which i think was wrongly done by some east texas judge, when he put a freeze on the whole thing, yes, we should. but i think what we put in the bill is going to give some relief to the farmers. we'll keep going beyond that. generally, the bill has a lot of things that are -- that deal with the problems you've talked about. $60 billion for environmental justice. we all know when decisions were made about building highways, building this, building that, they put them in the poorest bus terminals, in the poorest neighborhoods. we have huge numbers of kids in our poorer communities who suffer from asthma. it is estimated by a modeling agency that the number of asthma cases will go down 100,000 a year because of this proposal, mainly affecting people of color. the number of deathings from asthma will go down by more than 4,00

those are credentials that clearly stand out in his race against raphael warnock. it is accurate to say he could indeed become a member of the united states senate. as gene pointed out, look at the membership of the united states senate today. compare it to the composition of the united states senate 10, 20 years ago. you really can't in terms of credentials, people elected to office who think of the nation first, national interest, rather than their selfish, political interests. that's where we are today. that's a reality check. the ultimate reality check is herschel walker could indeed become a united states senator. god help us. >> icon in the state of georgia and also has to be said, hand-picked by donald trump. donald trump drafted herschel walker out of georgia to play for the team he owned in the usfl in 1983. with the support of donald trump and his name recognition in georgia, he is doing pretty well. >>> still ahead this morning, the new reporting from "the new york times" just over night, revealing former president trump had over 300 classified documents

warnock in georgia, mark kelly in arizona, they need to get those hires for border control and border security so we're not losing 100,000 plus people a year to fentanyl overdoses. that's what they should be focused on in the united states senate, not sending more employees into the irs to harass american citizens just so they can squeeze every single dollar for their wasteful spending on green energy which frankly does not work, it's not as green as they say and it actually pollutes the environment when you look at the entire supply chain of solar panels and wind turbines. joey: congressman, you think this piece of legislation will be rubber stamped in the house. is there any chance any of these amendments can be brought up in the house or is that process available. >> we'll do everything we can to bring those up. it's tricky dealing with budget reconciliation. we make proposals to the rules committee, it's an inside the beltway process. we'll do everything we can to try to hold them accountable. i want the american people to understand this. they don't care about inflation. they don
