No, I'll run this town to be near you. I stand alone. 11-04 on an extremely busy Newsday Thursday. Welcome back, friends. Mark Airman crew with you till noon. Coming up in 30 minutes. Deborah's got tickets to give away to see Journey. We're going to check in with Bloomberg News's Tyler Kendall for all the comings and goings on Capitol Hill. We are monitoring the Supreme Court. Some breaking news. I have not been able to get... myself caught up to date. So I assume Sabrina. I was trying to read up on these. Sabrina might have hit it, but Supreme Court issuing some decisions this morning. Once I am caught up to speed, I will tell you what I think, what I know, et cetera. But that is something that is breaking there in the Supreme Court. Let's see. Supreme Court sides with President Trump in two major immigration cases. All right. We will update those as soon as I get some more information. I do want to hit a couple of local stories here, Deborah. You might remember. I was a long time West Side resident here in Metro Atlanta. In fact, the majority of my time has been spent on Atlanta's West Side, rebranded the Upper West Side. Vinnie's throwing me a West Side symbol. Vinny's a West Side kid as well. I spent one year at... in Brookhaven, one year in Smyrna, last three years in Decatur, but a majority of my time in Atlanta was on the west side. So you said me this story, Deborah. I'm very interested in my former neighborhood. Huge West Midtown development. What do we know about this? So it's going, there's a, apparently there's an old tire recycling plant there that's been abandoned for a while and it's just kind of in disrepair. Well, it has been sold and they're looking to build about 247 apartments on it. They're saying it's about a $75 million development. And it's near the belt line, your favorite place. Which brings, you know, people let them want to be close to the belt lines. I can walk places. I just pulled up Google Maps. Say what street this is going to be on? It doesn't give me the street. It just says it's a tire recycling plant. Do you remember that area? I'm trying to. I vaguely remember the tire. I see if I can find it. Yeah, I think it was in the story that you sent me. The west side. Yeah, the west side. So I moved here in 96. Hoover Street, Huber Street? H-U-B-E-R. Yeah. All right. And we talk about the change of how. I don't know how there's a vacant lot anywhere in Midtown. And then I'll drive by and you'll see like a huge building. Oh, it's right off Chattahoochee have. So you've driven past that? Near Ellsworth Industrial. Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's a hot spot. That is a hot spot. It's going to be even hotter now. But I don't remember the tire recycling place. Well, you wouldn't pay attention to that, would you? No. So this is right behind the West Midtown market. Okay. I know it's near the train tracks there. All right, the west side is just, if I was, if I was smart and had money when I was, when I first moved there, just buy all of this industrial property. Because I moved to the west side, there was nothing. And then Atlantic Station got built. And that and everything, you know, the Howl Mill Corridor. Howell Mill Corridor used to be like the Wild West. It was crazy. John Bolton Road, Hollowell Parkway. I remember when I first moved here and I had to go down there and it was definitely a little scary at times. I, in my, one of my apartments, off DeFords Avenue, overlooked, it was actually really cool. You look out my bedroom window and there was the train tracks. And so you'd see trains going at all. Would you hear them at all? No, not because they had to go slow because they were coming in and out. But it was cool just to see all these, yeah, that was, I'm having some, some good, I had good memories.

3:33

Having a cup of coffee on my balcony in my apartment and seeing the trains. And that's actually a theme. When I was in college, my dorm room overlooked the Hudson River. My dorm room is the greatest view I've ever had living anywhere in my life. My freshman year dorm room. Third floor, Leo Hall. I look out the window, and there's the beautiful Hudson River, and then there were the train tracks before you got to the river. So I'd see Amtrak, and it was. Train spotter. I would go back to school just to, if I could live in Leo Room 310, I think was my dorm number. My dorm overlooked Lake Manona. Oh, like, was that the best view you ever had in anywhere you've ever lived? Yeah, because it was like on the 20th floor, too. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, all right, that's cool. The west side. Vinny, give me a west side. West Side. Thank you, Vinny. More development on the West Side. That's pretty cool near the train tracks. What did you say? 272 apartments? Just under 300. All right. Let's update some drone stories. We'll start with the World Cup. We had the FBI in here. We gave you the warnings. There was no spoiler alert. The FBI Atlanta said, don't fly your drones at the World Cup event. There's a big... no-fly zone for a lot of obvious safety reasons, et cetera. How many World Cup drone arrests or captures have there been so far, Deborah? Well, last week we learned there were just 70 here in Atlanta alone, right? And because I was asking, like, I wonder if the FBI would give us an extra one. What do they do with them all? So they don't need all of them, right? So, well, now they're saying TSA, because they're also part of this, has seized over 300 at all the different stadiums across the country. So Seattle and Dallas and New York and everywhere that there has been. in a World Cup match, over 300 drones. And they're saying the same thing. It's like, we told you, you can't fly drones in this area at this time. Now, if it's overnight and maybe you want to do it. It's a federal offense. Yeah, it is a federal offense. So they've got over 300 drones just sitting around now. I wonder they got to do something. They got to auction them off. Yeah, something. That's why I'm like, maybe we can call Tony and say if you've got a spare one, bring it in. You'd have to do it. I wouldn't know how to operate it. I'd email him and just ask him. No, no. I'm not talking about the asking, the actual drone operation. I want to learn how to use it. Yeah, I would say that you're in charge of that. I can ask Tony for. Maybe and I'll figure it out. Yeah, but that would be cool to have a Barker show drone. Oh, I totally logo it out too. Yeah, absolutely. All right. One more drone story. This one's a little more serious. Apparently there has been this big prison drone network going on that was bringing contraband into prisons. I think it's a nationwide issue, but it's obviously a big issue here in Georgia. What did we find out about these prison drones? So 12 individuals have been charged for using these really huge, like heavy payload drones. So think of when you get something delivered. You know how they have drone deliveries now? I've heard of it. Those ones, not the little ones that you fly around in your background, those kind of drones. And it's been this multi-state operation. So the couple of states they list here is Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia, where prisoners would use an old daycare near Macon.

6:30

so that's how it's close to here. And that would be their lab. And then they'd send out these drones to do drops at all these different prisons around the country, mostly here on the East Coast here. And it was anything that you'd want to smuggle into prison, whether it was drugs, cell phones, anything. And they finally were able to catch this huge operation that's been going on for a couple months now. So I'm assuming, let's say contraband, I'm thinking like cell phones and maybe narcotics. Cigarettes, weapons, yes. And the drone would drop them in like the prison yard? It would fly over the fence and drop them over the yard and somebody would know, hey, a drone's coming in tonight. That's what the question I have is. Well, if you have a cell phone, right? You'd have, but I mean, just you'd have to pick a time when the prison yard isn't full because if you've got a prison yard full of convicts. No one's going to be like, oh, that drop there is for Vinny. Don't touch that. Like people are going to, they're going to like, oh, that's a drone drop. Let's just grab it. Either way, there's all kinds of stuff in there. I guess there's the hierarchy, like going back to my education watching Oz. Like, you know if that drone drop is for. Yeah, everyone knows that was Red's delivery. Yeah. I'm freaking out a little bit. Because we, I've mentioned, no, not about drones. You know how our algorithms just know us better than anyone, right? Yeah, get all kinds of bunny videos. The algorithm gives us, they're like, this is what you need right now. And in the last couple of days, on Facebook, I keep getting Facebook reels or whatever they're called about former like lawyers or white collar criminals that spent time in. Big boy jails. Were you researching a story or something? No. You got to look at something completely opposite. Just look baseball up for a minute. I don't know. But I'm fascinated. So it was the video I saw was this lawyer who was like a tax attorney or something, wills and estates. And it didn't mention why he was in big boy jail. But he was talking about his experience there and how he was able to survive. And I'm like, wow, you know, I guess I guess if you watch one of these videos. Meta's like, oh, let's feed him more. But I'm like, what does Meta know that I don't? Like, am I going to big boy jail for a white collar crime? I would have to lie and say I was a lawyer. No, I'm a lawyer. I'll help you out. Don't touch me. I would not, I would not fare well. You could start a podcast from jail. Everybody would want to be on it. The prison pod? Yeah. Everyone would want to be on it, right? Then they wouldn't come after you. It's like, have you been on Aram's podcast? Yeah. They want to get in. The prison pod. It's like the power pod, but the prison pod. Yeah. If they allow that, maybe that would be a way I survive. I don't know. Chick-fil-A in the news. We mentioned Vinny, former worker at Chick-fil-A, got that $2,500 chick-fellet scholarship. Fantastic, Vin. I didn't even know that about you. You make me more proud every, every day. Chick-fil-A, obviously, dominating the fast food chicken world. They have started a side hustle.

9:28

And you side hustle and quotes. It's a big operation. Has nothing to do with chicken or food, Deborah. Yeah, no chicken or food involved in this business. It is called the Red Wagon Ventures. And basically what it is, it's a home service industry. So they're calling it a crew home professionals. And what they'll do is if you need handyman services. And who's nicer than the people at Chick-fil-A? So maybe your mom needs something installed, like a new appliance or something, and you didn't want to have to pay the extra or there's no one else to help. You know, I'm thinking like my parents were. were kind of isolated for a while, couldn't call one of the grandkids over to come help. You can call this accrue home professionals and they'll come and do handy rent and stuff around your house. Never mind my parents, which obviously I need that. Like there's stuff around the house. Yeah, mounting TVs, small plumbing fixes, drywall repair, just little DIY things around the house. There's like a gate that goes to the backyard that's kind of... Hinges need to be fixed. Yeah, it was a weird setup anyone we bought the house. And now it's just like... Progressively worse. It's almost inoperable. I mean, it's still closed the gate and setter. But I don't know where, like, because it's in the concrete of the brick and... I, you know, it's a project above my, so is this, is this going to be nationwide or is this just in Atlanta? No, so right now it's just here, Metro, Alpharetta, Marietta, Buckhead, College Park, Peachtree City, and Fayetteville, and they want to keep it here as long as possible. They don't say they have any plans to expand outside of the metro, but if it goes well, who knows. What's the name of it again? A crew home professionals. All right. I'm sure you don't need to know this, David Cohen, but I would get on the phone with a crew home professionals. Because if they provide that, listen, if Chick-fil-A went into any kind of business, we know the perfection. My pleasure. Yeah, and the customer service. That's kind of what people are saying. They're so good at customer service. It just makes sense. Well, we'd be the biggest struggle. What side hustle? Chick-fil-A prison. Like with that Chick-fil-A, you know, they open up their own prison and the prison guards are like, oh, my pleasure, yeah, here's your gruel, my pleasure. Oh, I bet the food would be really good. Maybe they'd bring back to chicken salad sandwich at the chick-fil-a. That would be fitting there. Yeah. I have, you know, oh, you know what I want Chick-fil-A to do? Open up a baseball card store. I want to see Chick-fil-A-level service at a baseball. That could be a game changer, a crew. Say it, AC-R-U. All right. A C-R-E-W. A-C-R-E-W. A crew. All right. Interesting. They get into a business arena. Always bet on Chick-fil-A. The second phase, of course, will be identifying their more longer term and acute needs. What are the things over the long term they're going to need help with? We'll have a better assessment. Marco Rubio talking about the double whammy of huge earthquakes in Venezuela. Welcome back to the Mark Air Show. Coming up next half hour, we'll give you the very latest on that. I am very happy to have joining us. One of my favorite comedians. Nay, nay, nay, favorite people on the planet. Comedian Ryan Hamilton live on the Mark Airm show. Ryan, you don't remember me. You don't know me from a hole in the wall, but I am forever indebted to you.

12:36

You volunteered your amazing stand-up services to my friends, daughters, autistic school in Brooklyn years ago. You raised a ton of money. So whenever you need to come on the show and promote whatever you need, I got you, my friend. Well, that's very nice. I'm trying to even, I mean, I do so many shows. I'm glad it was helpful. Yeah, I'm thrilled to hear. Thank you so much. And you're not even coming to Atlanta. So I can promote you. You'll be at the Funny Bone in Syracuse tomorrow, which is, I'm sure, a fantastic venue as well. But all kidding aside, I mean, I've been a fan of you for years. Obviously, you're a generous soul. You're hilarious on stage. And now you've got your own Netflix special. Is that right? Yeah. I just put out a new, the second Netflix special came out on Tuesday. It's called This Just Hit Me. And it's about this experience I had of getting hit by a bus a lot of material as a pedestrian. When was the bus incident? January 1st of 2022, if you can believe it, New Year's Day. It was right at the end of COVID. I was flying back from Hawaii to LAX, one of my first gigs back. I had a corporate event. And I got an alert on my phone when I landed in L.A. that I'd been exposed to COVID. Do you remember that whole world? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I walked to the hotel, took a test. It was positive. 10 days in the hotel. And my first day out walking to pick up a rental car. I hit the button at this intersection, watched the light turn, and started walking. And this shuttle bus ran a light making a left, didn't see me. And... Yeah, that was it. I didn't see or hear it. I just felt it. Oh, my God. And it's all punchlines from there. All right. So, I mean, if I got hit by a bus, I think the settlement alone would prevent me from working ever again. You didn't take the big payoff and retire? You know, it was so traumatic just dealing with the lawsuit. I didn't want to do it right away. And then like a year into it, we kind of did all the paperwork. I did all the exams. Everything I needed to do, we filed it. Their insurance came back the day. And by the way, it was a small shuttle bus company that went to that. short like a week after the accident went out of business yeah so you didn't get that good greyhound money that would have been all right well that explains why he's still touring and has this Netflix special this just hit me honestly Ryan I had no idea that you went through all of it how long were you out out of commission after the bus accident

15:17

I mean, you know, I was in the hospital for five days, and then it happened in L.A., which is not where I live. And so I was in hotels in L.A. for about five or six weeks. And then I was home in Idaho with my family for recovering for a few months. And then I was kind of like tentative about going on the road for a couple months. You know, it's like six months before I was really kind of like... on my regular rhythm. I know you're not a typical stand-up. Like, you've got your life together. A lot of my friends that are stand-ups, they're absolutely messes. So I'm going to assume 2022 Ryan Hamilton, you had some sort of health insurance. I had health insurance. Okay, good. But I talk about this in the special. I had battles with them, to be honest. I was not in my network when this happened, and I could not travel by doctor's orders. So the initial surgery and hospital stay they covered. But then, you know, I had follow-up appointments, other things, other tests, other scans after that. And the insurance was like, we're not doing this. And I go, well, I can't get on a plane to get to my network. So I don't, you know. Unbelievable. Well, at least I'm. validation that I knew you would have at least have had. A lot of comics don't have health care, but Ryan did. All right, the Netflix specials, his second one, this just hit me on Netflix everywhere. If you're in Syracuse tomorrow, go see Ryan at The Funny Bone. Next time you're in Atlanta, brother. We'd love to have you in studio. That would be great. You know, we've got dates coming up just to let you know. They're not announced yet, but I think Atlanta will be Feb 5. So look for that in the next couple weeks. We're going to release an Atlanta date. Beautiful. All the Marta bus drivers listening, be noted. Ryan's going to try to get another insurance scam out of you. Ryan, always a pleasure. Very proud of your success, my friend. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Ryan Hamilton. Wow. Well, I've all the bad luck to get by a bus, and it's not like one of the big boy bus companies. It's a shuttle bus company that goes out of business. There goes that payday. Sabrina's got your news weather and traffic. When we come back, we're going to head to D.C. Bloomberg News, Tyler Kendall, the very latest on Capitol Hill on the Mark Aram Show next. 1137 on the Mark Aram Show. Come back to some journey, loving, touching, squeezing, 1979.

18:05

Well, me. My tickets. Anyway, congratulations. Good luck. All right, let's head back to the nation's capital. Joining us live from Bloomberg News, our good friend, Tyler Kendall. Tyler, good morning. How are you? I'm good. Thanks for having me. Really stark headline on Bloomberg.com this morning, quote, mad as a murder hornet, Trump squabbles with disaffected Senate. It's been a whiplash situation between President Trump and GOP senators over the last 24 hours. I mean, to be a fly on the wall for this meeting that happened yesterday between President Trump and Senate Republicans, there's sort of two issues at hand here. The first is that President Trump yesterday last minute scrapped a planned signing ceremony for this bipartisan housing bill, saying that he's not going to put his signature on the legislation until the Senate moves forward with... his voter ID law, but Senate Republicans have been telling him for months that the math just isn't there. They don't have the votes to actually get this over the finish line. And then the second backdrop to this mark is that earlier this week, the Senate just rebuked the president over the conflict in Iran with four Republicans voting to end the conflict crossing party lines, including Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana. He just lost his reelection bid after President Trump. failed to endorse him. And Bill Cassidy told reporters that he, quote, lost his temper in the room, but that he matched President Trump's tone and volume, seeming to indicate that the pair got into a shouting match. But still, we can actually say that some progress seems to be, has, has, was made because Bill Cassidy abruptly switched his vote on a different. war powers resolution just yesterday. Yeah, that was, I mean, and I guess from what I've read and you're reporting at Bloomberg that Bill Cassidy Rand Paul flipped that votes and Rand Paul saying he is still against the war, but the president apparently explained to him in that closed door meeting that, you know, this no vote from you is limiting my negotiating power with the Iranians right now. So that was enough. If you can get Rand Paul to flip that some sort of progress was made there, right? Right. And this is something that the White House had been saying for days, that essentially if there isn't a United Congress behind the president, at least on the Republican side, then that diminishes the U.S.'s leverage when it comes to the negotiating table because we are in the thick of this 60-day ceasefire extension where the two sides are trying to work on potentially curbs to Iran's nuclear program while maintaining that the Strait of Hermuz. remains open. So this is considered to be a very critical time in the talks as we all wait for any sort of updates that they're actually sticking to the ceasefire agreement. The other two Republicans that kept their votes, Lisa Murkowski, who does have an independent streak, but then Susan Collins, who of course is in a very tough re-election race. in Maine and we know affordability has become a top issue for voters and that has dovetailed with the conflict in Iran. Yeah, so we got Iran as the headline in a normal news cycle. These other angles would probably be our top stories talking about Bill Pulte, FISA, and you mentioned the Save America plan. We'll start with Save America. There's 60 votes needed to pass this in the Senate. There's just no way that is ever going to come to fruition, right?

21:19

Well, because that would mean that Democrats would have to get on board. And at this point, that's just not something that seems very feasible, let alone the fact that all Republicans would have to be on board. And some Republicans have raised concerns over the tightening of voter restrictions and access to ballots under this bill. There seems to be maybe a push to take some of the provisions and put them into a reconciliation package. House Speaker Mike Johnson. is set to be at the White House today at 2 p.m. Eastern. And our understanding is that maybe they'll try to find some sort of solution where this could go through the reconciliation process, which means that it would be streamlined. They would only need a simple majority in order to get it over the finish line. But that means, Mark, that they basically have to meet these very strict budgetary standards to... pursue that route. And at this point, it doesn't seem clear that that would actually pass the parliamentarians test. Yeah, you've got to have the money for that. I mentioned Bill Pulte, the acting director of DNI. In the meantime, the bipartisan housing bill in limbo right now, what's the status of that? So. So yes and no, in one regards whether President Trump signs it or not, after 10 days the bill will become law. However, he could veto it. And then in that case, it would force Congress to maybe take a tougher vote. If we look at the margins from this last vote that put the bipartisan bill over the finish line, there would be enough votes there in order to override a veto. If it happened, that would be a vote potentially against President Trump in a tough election year. But it's hard to imagine at this point that that would happen because this is a bill that actually both parties are trying to stake their claim to and campaign on. As we head into November in the push to try to streamline some regulations at the federal level to help increase housing supply, though industry experts and President Trump himself have pointed out some of the limitations to the legislation, including that it doesn't include new funding for affordable. housing and there's only so much that the federal government can do at the federal level when so much of the zoning restrictions happen at the local level. Great point. Tyler, I know you've been working 24-7. Any chance you're going to be able to sneak away and enjoy the American state fair in the nation's capital? If that's going to be on the agenda, we did have President Trump, of course, last night speaking to a crowd on the national mall, so maybe in a journalistic capacity. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, for the food alone, you got to check out what's going on at the American State Fair. Tyler, great stuff, as always. If I don't speak to you, have a fantastic weekend and a great Fourth of July, my friend. Thank you, you too. There you go. Tyler Kendall Live in D.C. for Bloomberg News. She's phenomenal. I was catching some Bloomberg audio, and she was following reports this morning and really on top of the game there. All right, I do want to update the Supreme Court. Again, I haven't had a chance to really go in depth, but I'm just going to play what ABC has said so far about asylum seekers. Supreme Court issued rulings on two major immigration issues, and one, the High Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to cancel temporary protective status, TPS.

24:34

for Syrians and Haitians living in the U.S. and another ruling, the Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to turn away asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border. ABC News, senior Washington reporter, Devin Dwyer, has more. Policy from the first Trump administration known as... All right, that's called my bad, ladies and gentlemen. For some reason, my YouTube channel is playing New York Coffee Shop Ambiance. Sorry, that's me. I just lost star of the show. Now we can get an update from ABC's Devon Dwyer. This was a decision over a policy from the first Trump administration known as metering or turned back. It was basically an effort to shut the door at ports of entry across the southern border to prevent migrants, immigrants, from even stepping foot on U.S. soil to file a claim for asylum. Interesting. Again, more so. I think we're still waiting on. Birthright citizenship, right? I don't know if that has been. I mean, it's coming fast and furious, but the news team is all over. It's so they'll provide updates for you as warranted. We do have an update on Camp Mystic. This, not surprising, the infamous camp in Texas, they had the 25 kids die with the flooding at the Guadalupe River. The latest on Camp Mystic is what, Deborah? Camp Mystic owners have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy because, you know, they wanted to reopen. Remember, they talked about reopening like a different area. of the camp and opening it up to campers and obviously the community push back. So they're filing for Chapter 11 to kind of keep some of those protections in place if eventually they do get to reopen. Yeah. I can't see that happening anytime soon. They're going to have to sell the land or do something. That last report regarding the Supreme Court talking about Haiti. I've got Haiti World Cup audio. What is this all about? Is Haiti in the World Cup? So they're eliminated, but they played yesterday against Morocco here.

26:34

I guess these are Haitian fans, man. They were, yeah, Haitian fans, what was it, a parade almost? They marched themselves down to the fan fest. Right on north side. Yeah, you get like your group of people together, like a bunch of Haitians, the Haitian community will all march down to the fan festivals. I like him yellow, I like him black yellow, Puerto Rican, or Haitian. We heard that lyric the other day. Oh, yeah. Did you grab that audio? Was that Vinny original audio? Well, yeah, off Instagram, Darius, yeah. No, not you. Not me, though. I told him to go down there, yes. He did. Oh, my gosh. All right, congrats to Mickey or Mikey from Social Circle. They won Journey tickets. More chance to win Journey tickets tomorrow, as well as our grocery and gas giveaway. 10, 12 a.m., your next chance to win a grocery and gas giveaway. 1154 on the Mark Am Show. How about a happy heavenly birthday singer George Michael was born on this date in 1963, passed away in. 2016. Debra, how much heartbreak was there for women across the world when he came out? I was too young. But I think my aunt was really into George Michael at that point. He was like a huge sex symbol back. My favorite, George, he's a great artist, Wham, right? Yeah, Wham. But he did a cameo on Ricky Jervasio show extras. Yes. Oh my God, it was the funniest thing. Ironically, today is Ricky Jervais's 65th birthday. One of the funniest people ever born. I would love to meet Ricky Jervase. And Angela Kinsey, actress from the office, turns 55 today. And then you go watch extras. Extras is, I'll give you my login, Vin. It's hilarious. You've got to watch that. Some breaking political news just off the old Twitter machine. Where is Hector? Garrison Douglas, who has been with Governor Brian Kemp for years, really important in the Brian Kemp camp, has announced today that he is joining the Rick Jackson campaign. Rick Jackson, obviously, the Republican nominee for governor going up against Keesha Lance Bobham. So a big get there for the Jackson campaign. Garrison Douglas is going to be joining them as Jackson stacks up the political machinery he needs for this statewide race. But again, Mr. Jackson also has. as a very large checkbook. His checkbook's probably this normal size, but the funds attached to it are quite substantial. So that's some big breaking news. Tomorrow, speaking of politics, political analysts, Bill Crane's going to join us live. We'll talk about the Georgia runoffs, excuse me, the results of the Georgia runoffs as we head to the big election, midterm election here, 26. Let me get this correct. WSB Radio, your official election station. Now you know, because of the Mark Aram Show.

29:23

Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. A little bit of tension, a little bit of dysfunction yesterday at the luncheon, some yelling taking place, primarily between Senator Bill Cassidy and President Trump, President Trump calling Bill Cassidy a loser. A loser, says White House correspondent John Decker getting us caught up to date on all the entry going on on Capitol Hill. By the way, if the audio is a little slow, it's because the computers are slow for some reason. But, yeah. It's not me. It's you. Now you know. We have two parts of the note that were released.
