the internal room and the external room.

He doesn't have a manual labor job, so your work hours are not going to be sympathetic.

Secondly, his members want him to lead them in a direction, and his 22-hour workday has not gotten them focused on a path towards actually making law.

They are lost.

Even by congressional standards, even by modern-day congressional standards, it doesn't bode well for getting munitions restockpiled, doesn't bode well for getting foreign aid, whatever remains of it, out the door, and all the other things those $88 billion are to pay for.

i can confirm according to my latest reporting each senator gets one turn and only one turn and yes there'll be a 10 minute timer that will buzz when they're done and they'll be cut off it's already going to be a prolonged affair there's all kinds of opening speeches that eat up time and inform us not whatsoever

So they're going to be strict about the 10-minute timing.

12 Republicans, 10 Democrats, I should say 11 Republicans, sadly now without Lindsey Graham's seat being filled, and 10 Democrats, and they get just one crack at this.

10 minutes!

Maybe that even sounds longer than it is.

It takes you longer to make a grilled cheese or take a decent cat nap than 10 minutes affords you.

And Todd Blanche has shown himself to be uniquely effective, Ben, especially in May during his most recent questioning at filling gaps, filling time, kind of an informal filibuster.

He can take a simple question and make lots of a meal out of it.

There was this moment in May.

Chris Van Hollen asked Todd Blanche at an Appropriations Committee hearing whether he'd met with the Epstein survivors.

Have you met with them?

He turned that answer of no into two minutes of talking.

That was just burning through Van Hollen's time, and Van Hollen tried to continue to reclaim his time, and Blanche would interject then, making it all disjointed.

And even in the best of circumstances, Ben, congressional hearing is the last place you want to go, like the last place to hear coherent, logical questions and answers.

It's not a courtroom.
