How is it that we have sitting elected members of Congress going missing for months at a time when especially right now when the margins margins in the in the Senate are razor thin, the margins in the House are razor thin, every single person's absence here has country altering implications. 
>> When you're not very forthcoming with a lot of information, whether it's personal or professional information, you do leave the conclusion up to conspiracy theorists. 
And and people's imagination is far greater than reality almost every time. 
>> Leader McConnell is tough as nails. 
This guy survived polio. 
He He For days on end, he went through therapy. 
I mean, people have no idea how tough he is. 
I I don't have any doubt that there was a vote for the Supreme Court justice tomorrow that he'd find a way to be here for that. 
I think he'll be here when we need him. 
Um and and I just would never count him out. 
He'll He'll be back. 
>> Really, you know, until he gets back, there's going to continue to be a churn. 
There always is. 
He's in rehab now. 
The key is that he can get through that and get back here expeditiously, right? 
So, I think that's really going to be the key at this point. 
>> The fact that people can just go missing without explanation, not just Mitch McConnell. 
You had another member here that was just gone for 4 months and didn't tell anyone where they were, no whereabouts, no transparency. 
I mean, this is it I don't even know how this is legal. 
I really don't even know how this is legal at this point.
