And you have heard of the ``bridge to nowhere''? That was about $300 million, and that kind of made its way through the process on to the President's desk. And I think if the President had had a line item veto, he might have said, You know what? I think you ought to take another look at that ``bridge to nowhere.'' And he could have exercised that line item veto. And maybe if that had gone away, then, yes, we would have spent less money, and the deficit would not be as large as it is today, and that is good.

The problem with this narrative is that there's no reason to have that fear… I am sorry that so many people on the left and in the media have lied to you about what's in this bill.

Countless lives could be saved by this. President @realDonaldTrump announced today he’s fast-tracking research into ibogaine and other psychedelic therapies for veterans suffering from PTSD. I’ve seen firsthand what this treatment can do.
