and joan walsh said on air, you know, i think they put that in there on purpose to give her something think? >> yes, a little soon to tell. but i think the interesting thing over here is unlike previous negotiations over this bill, both senator sinema and manchin, where they were, to make concessions for them. it was really, were democrats willing to do this to satisfy sinema and finally get the bill through? they passed that test. they met her where she was, and then, they were able to add in this excess tax on stock buybacks, which is something that will make a lot of democrats very happy. >> all right, nicholas wu of politico, thank you very much for coming to the sunday show, and giving us that on everything that is happening in the ignited states senate, as they continue to vote on amendments, continue to vote on amendments there, to get the inflation production act passed. now with less than 100 days until the midterms, democracy is on the ballot. election deniers across the country are winning their primary races, setting up a dangerous scenario in november. in michigan's third
