They decide literally what, I mean, I've had chairmen say, I've heard chairmen say before, I can't get that bill to the floor because, you know, my staffers don't really like that bill.

I'm like, what?

What are you talking about?

You know, I had a bill that dealt with, well, for instance, the Chinese, you know, these ancestry.com, you know, you take a swab, you send it off.

Well, they're buying it.

creating a genome that the Chinese are buying it legally from these companies and they're selling it to them.

And they would create a genome for say, say they'd like to come to imagine the Chinese creating a disease that can, you know, disable the entire world.

But say they wanted to just

just take out females of childbearing ages in the United States of America.

Well, they could create a genome to do that, and apparently that's what they're attempting to do.

I can't even get the Chinese.

I couldn't even get a hearing on the bill because

The committee is just in total shutdown.

And it's, you know, and that's the way Washington works, though.

They want to have hearings.

They want to issue press releases.

But the bottom line in Washington, D.C., is get your ass reelected.

It's not fixing the problem.

They go home to their MAGA dinners or their left does their Truman dinners.

and they throw out the red meat, how bad the Republicans are, how bad the Democrats are, how bad Speaker Pelosi is, how bad Johnson is.
