1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: In the House of Representative press room speaking, Mike Johnson 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: had a press conference where he took up the issue 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: of the Save Act because you know over in the 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Senate they'll bring it up for vote and there'll be 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: speeches and there'll be a lot of harumphing, and they'll dither, 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: and then they're not going to do anything. Well, Mike 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Johnson is ready for that. In twenty six, twenty thousand 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: dollars equaled roughly thirty three ounces at gold of gold. 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: At spot price. Today's prices, those thirty three ounces would 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: be worth over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That's 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: why so many Americans diversify a portion of their savings 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: into precious medals. Gold can insulate you in times of war, 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: geopolitical instability, and high inflationary periods.

Democrats favorability is lower than 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: the dead sea. Okay, they're at negative fifty five percentage points. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: The favorability negative net fifty five percent in the open polling, 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: and among independents. Democrats in Congress are at negative sixty percent. 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: They should just retire. They should just throw in the 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: white towel and give us the Congress that we can 34 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: fix this mess and. 35 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Stop the charade. 36 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: This midterm election that we're coming up on is a 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: contract election. This is not a I was talking with 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: New Gangers the other night, and you know he brought 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: the contract with America. This is a contrast for America. 40 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: That's what we have. 41 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: This is common sense the Republican Party in our policies 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: versus crazy. 43 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: This is crazy. It's crazy. It's the contrast for America. 44 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: And yes, you heard right, he's picking up on President 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: Trump's line from the State of the Union. These people 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: are crazy, common sense crazy. Listen, I get it. People 47 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: are frustrated with Republicans in Congress. It's bad. You know 48 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 1: what's worse being a Democrat in Congress right now. And 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: that's an opening if you know what you're doing politically. 50 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: And that's why he raised the Save Act because last 51 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: I checked, it's pretty damn popular. 52 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: We're not going to litigate all that. I can tell 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: you what I'll tell Democrats. You should listen to the 54 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: American people. Ostensibly, we're supposed to come here and represent 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: the anterst of the American people. This is a ninety 56 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: ten issue in public opinion. Poland and Democrats agree that 57 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: you should be a citizen and have a photo ID 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: to vote at a number attor tune of about seventy percent. 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: So there's no argument that you shouldn't do this. If 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: they want free and fair elections, if they don't think 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: fraud should be a problem, and they should vote to 62 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: enforce federal law. It's already the law, as you know, 63 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: it's already the law that you have to that you 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: have to be a citizen to vote in American elections, 65 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: and we should enforce that. And having a photo I D. 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 2: You have to have a photo I D do everything 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: in American society, why not to vote. It's ridiculous for 68 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: them to oppose it. We are cheering along the Senate 69 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: Republicans and trying to force this through. Hopefully, hopefully we 70 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: can get this to the President's desk for signature. It's 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: a top priority, not just for Republicans in Congress. Again, 72 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: common sense versus crazy. It's crazy to say that you 73 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: should not be a citizen or not have an ID 74 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: to vote, and it is common sense and it comports 75 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: to the American people. 76 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: All right now, he seems pretty motivated and he's right 77 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: about it, although he did say we're gonna sit back, 78 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna let the Senate do its thing, and we're 79 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: going to cheer them on. But look for if there 80 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: is failure in the Senate, look for the same under 81 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: a different incarnation, to be embedded into what they like 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: to call must pass bills, things that you can't vote against, 83 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: and then they just you know, and you may not 84 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: like it. I don't like it when they do this. 85 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, they put together their whole package of things 86 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: and then they jam it through and they say you 87 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: gotta vote on it. Well, that's how a lot of 88 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: crap gets done, and that might be how this gets done, 89 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: all right, Speaking on behalf of the Democrats, you know, 90 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the people who don't want to have any sort of 91 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: enforcement mechanism to make sure only citizens are voting. The 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: people who don't want to have any sort of enforcement 93 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: mechanism to make sure that the people who show up 94 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: to vote are actually the people they claim that they are, 95 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: you know, the people who like the rigged system the 96 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: way it is. Speaking on their behalf, the fine young 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: gentleman from Connecticut, Chris Murphy. 98 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: Donald Trump said this week that his number one priority 99 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: is not properly running this disastrous war with Iran, or 100 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 3: lowering energy prices, or helping you afford healthcare. No, his 101 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: number one priority is rigging the election. The president United 102 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: States knows that he cannot win if the rules are fair. 103 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: I just want you to think about the language being 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: used here. It is the law right now that only 105 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 1: US citizens can vote. Republicans and ninety percent of Americans 106 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: support the idea that you actually enforce that law by 107 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: having someone prove they're a citizen when they go to vote. 108 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 1: And Chris Murphy, on behalf of the Democrats, says that's 109 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: rigging the election. Chris Murphy says that that's changing the 110 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: rules that are currently fair. See Chris Murphy thinks that 111 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: it's fair to not check if somebody is a citizen 112 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: or not. Have you stopped and asked yourself again, this 113 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: is basic politics one oh one, all right, And you 114 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: do not have to be conspiracy theorists to put your 115 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: thinking cap on and logically connect the dots. This is something, 116 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: as we will show you in a moment, that pulls 117 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: anywhere between eighty five percent to ninety five percent amongst Americans. 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: That you support this and you think that it's common sense, 119 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: and that's all Americans. So why would Democrats who currently 120 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: hold elected office be willing to die on this hill? 121 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a politician like Chris Murphy and 122 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: his pals in their party go to such great lengths 123 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: to keep something that anywhere between eighty five and ninety 124 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: five percent of Americans agree with? Ever? Ever, why on 125 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: earth would they do that? And as soon as you 126 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: start to connect the dots and recognize that the thing 127 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: that they are so willing to martyr themselves over and 128 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: die on the hill of is the very thing that 129 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: ensures that the basics of election integrity are enforced in 130 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: this country. Well, then I think the question answers itself, 131 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: doesn't it. But go ahead, Chris Murphy. You tell us 132 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: how it's Trump wanting to rig the election. 133 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: Because he's super unpopular and this war with Iran is 134 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: making him even more unpopular. And so now he's saying 135 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress 136 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: puts on his desk something called the Save America Act. 137 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: This is a piece of legislation that seeks to give 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: the federal government control over state elections. Connecticut's elections be 139 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: put in hands of the federal government. How does the 140 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: bill do that? Well, first of all, it just knocks 141 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of people off the voter rules. It 142 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: effectively makes you get a passport if you want to 143 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: register to vote. 144 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: For I'm going to have to just interrupt here and 145 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: knock down all of the lies that he's telling you. 146 00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: First of all, a law in Washington, DC, that's that 147 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: you have to be a citizen to vote in federal elections, 148 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: is in some way the federal government controlling state elections. Okay, 149 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: so the law I just articulated that you have to 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: be a citizen to vote in federal elections. That's not 151 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: the same America Act. That's not some piece of legislation. 152 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Even it's the Constitution. The US Constitution states that. So 153 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: it is not the federal government and Washington d C. 154 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Controlling state elections. It's the federal government saying, hey, the 155 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: Constitution says only citizens can vote. And you know, I 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: don't know if y'all have been paying attention, but for 157 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: the last four or five years, when mashed potato Brains 158 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: was president, we had five, ten, fifteen, twenty million people 159 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: led into this country illegally, and now we got governors 160 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: like Tim Walls or Gavin Newsom giving them all driver's license. Maybe, 161 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: just maybe we should make sure none of these people 162 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: are registered to vote. Right, that's not Washington d C. 163 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Controlling state elections. That's your federal government enforcing the constitution. Okay, 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two, a bunch of people are 165 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: gonna get knocked off the voter rolls. Hey, guys, could 166 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: you crowdsource this for me. If we've got a new 167 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: law that says that you have to be a US 168 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: citizen to be registered to vote, and then you get 169 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: knocked off the voter rolls, go ahead and let us 170 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: know in the live chatter in the comments section. What 171 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: does that mean about you? If you get knocked off 172 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the voter rolls when there's a new law that says 173 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: you have to be a US citizen to be on 174 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: the voter rolls, what does that mean? If A plus 175 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: B equals right, can you help me out there, because 176 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't get it. You're right, a lot of people 177 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: will be purged off the voter rolls. You know who 178 00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: those people are, all right? Go ahead, Chris, You've got 179 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: more verses. 180 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 3: States to purge a lot of voters from their lists 181 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: if they haven't voted in the last couple of years. 182 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: And it basically requires states to hand over their voter 183 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 3: lists to the federal government so that Donald Trump can 184 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: monkey around in the state's voter list and decide who 185 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: gets to vote and who doesn't get to vote. This 186 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 3: is the end of our democracy if the federal government, 187 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: the federal government, if Donald Trump and Stephen Miller take 188 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: over state elections if they get control of who can 189 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: vote and who can't vote in Connecticut or California, or 190 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: Pennsylvania or Texas. But Donald Trump now is resorted to 191 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: trying to steal the election because he can't win it 192 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: if the election is fair. Gas prices are going up, 193 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: the war in Iran is super unpopular. Twenty million Americans 194 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 3: are having their healthcare premiums be jacked up. Just know 195 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: that this is where we are. We kind of knew 196 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: that it might come to this point. But the President 197 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 3: has said, I will not govern. I will not sign 198 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 3: any piece of legislation that comes across my desk, even 199 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: if it's good for the American people, until you give 200 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: me a bill that allows me and Stephen Miller to 201 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: take over state elections so that we can make sure 202 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: that not a single Democrat wins in this country. 203 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: All right, So listen, I have no doubt that there 204 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: are people in Connecticut who believe all of that garbage. 205 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: But so much of that was just a lot, big 206 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: old pile of stinking, smelly Chris Murphy. Okay, and you 207 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: know that you're smart enough to know that. But let's 208 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: just be clear here, Okay. When he says, Donald Trump 209 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: is not going to govern. He refuses to governor pass 210 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: any piece of legislation or sign any bill, even if 211 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: it's good for the American people until he gets this well. 212 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, the Democrats have decided that they're not going 213 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: to govern and they're not going to look at any 214 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: other piece of legislation so long as Republicans insist on 215 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: having a floor vote on the Save Act. You see, 216 00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: that's how philibusters work. When Majority leader brings this bill 217 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: up for debate tomorrow, the Democrats will grind everything to 218 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: a halt, and they will just continue talking and talking 219 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: and talking and talking and talking and don't let anything 220 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: else get done. So, even if you buy his argument 221 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: that Trump's gonna refuse to govern, okay, the same can 222 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: be said about Democrats. The difference is Donald Trump says 223 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: he's not going to sign a bill unless we make 224 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: sure only US citizens are registered to vote. Chris Murphy 225 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: and his pals in the Senate the Democrats, they refuse 226 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: to debate or discuss or vote on another bill as 227 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: long as until they remove that provision. Let me rephrase this, 228 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump refuses to sign a bill until he gets 229 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: insurance that we only have citizens registered to vote. Chris 230 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Murphy and his pals, the Democrats in the Senate, they 231 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: refuse to discuss any other bill or allow any other 232 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: vote to happen in the Senate so that they can 233 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: keep non citizens voting in our elections. That's the bottom 234 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: line of what's going on here. And I know they 235 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: don't have the votes in the Senate, and I know 236 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: they're Okay, fine, go ahead and let's have the debate 237 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: so we can get lots of video of Chris Murphy 238 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: dying on this hill saying, no, over my dead body, 239 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: will you make sure that non citizens are purged off 240 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: of our voter bills. I want that video. I'm ready 241 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: to produce the TV ads for November. All right, wrap 242 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: it up here, Chrissy. 243 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 3: And I've been calling this a constitutional crisis for the 244 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 3: better part of a year, but this is a new low. 245 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 3: This is a new red alert moment. 246 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, this time, I really mean it. It's a constitutional crisis. 247 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: Their constitutional crisis was the moment Donald Trump was sworn 248 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: into office. Okay, that's who these people are. Oh and 249 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: then the other thing that he just said, you know, 250 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: he's trying to distract from the war in Iran. He's 251 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: trying to distract from affordability problems. He's trying to distract 252 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: from gas price he's trying to attract Yeah, because you 253 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: know what, it never occurred to Donald Trump to make 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: sure that only US citizens were registered to vote. This 255 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: whole idea of election integrity and making sure that we 256 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: actually have votes and laws and protocols and rules to 257 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: make sure that our elections are solid and that you 258 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: can't rig an election. That's all a new idea for 259 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He's not been talking about that at all 260 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: for like ten years now. No, no, no, no, you 261 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: never heard anything from Donald Trump about our election laws. 262 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: It's all something new that he's just come up with 263 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: to distract from the war in Orange. When they're talking 264 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: to you, they're lying. It's not even close. And yes, 265 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: Chris Murphy, as you just saw in that video, stands 266 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: firmly against this. Ninety five percent of Republicans, seventy one 267 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: percent of his own party total Americans. This is on 268 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: the latest polling, although these numbers, as I said, fluctuate 269 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: anywhere between eighty percent. And that's who they're opposing right now. 270 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: And he's not alone over in the House Debbie what's 271 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: her name Schultz with that possum caught in the headlights. Look, 272 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: she's ready to die on the hill too. 273 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 4: Senator John Thune says he will bring the Save Act 274 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: to a vote in the Senate. 275 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: Republicans say that this is just about voters having to 276 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: show ID and proof of citizenship. 277 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: In order to vote. What's wrong with that? 278 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 4: This is about one thing, ensuring that it is much 279 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 4: harder for people who are unlikely to go to the 280 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: polls and vote for Republicans, and that making it much 281 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 4: harder for them to cast their ballot. Putting obstacles in 282 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: the path of people who simply want to exercise their 283 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 4: right to vote, which is the most precious, precious right 284 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: we have, is absolutely a boring. 285 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: Wow. You know, that's a great admission here. I'm sorry, 286 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: who exactly will be prevented from voting? 287 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: This is about one thing, ensuring that it is much 288 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: harder for people who are unlikely to go to the 289 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: polls and vote for Republicans, and that making it much 290 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 4: harder for them to cast their ballot. 291 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, I guess so. Thanks for the 292 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: admission that illegal immigrants and green card holders and non 293 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: citizens and people who aren't supposed to be voting will 294 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: probably vote for Democrats because you are the party of felons. 295 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: You are the party of criminals. It's why all of 296 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: your laws at the state, federal, and county level, with 297 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: your district attorneys and your prosecutors, do whatever they can 298 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: to keep criminals on the streets, including people who shouldn't 299 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: be in this country and people who shouldn't be voting. So, yeah, 300 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: you're right, those are people who would not vote for Republicans. 301 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: I Kim Jeffries took up the cause. 302 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 5: Now, the United States Constitution also makes clear that only 303 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 5: citizens can vote. That's a constitutional requirement, and states are 304 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 5: free to implement that requirement as best they see fit. 305 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 5: In New York State, for instance, there are strong voter 306 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 5: identification requirements that have been embraced by both Democrats and Republicans. 307 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 5: This is a phony issue that Donald Trump is creating. 308 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: I love this. So suddenly they're federalists. Hey, let the 309 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: states decide, man, Let the states decide. Imagine if that 310 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: was the argument during the Voting Rights Act debates of 311 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: the sixties, you know, when Democrats filibusters and tried to 312 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: stop that. Sure you do, Yeah, hey, there's already laws 313 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: that say you can't discriminate against black people at the 314 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: polling place. Why do we need the Voting Rights Act? 315 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: Come on, the Constitution already says that everyone needs to 316 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: be treated equally. We don't need the Voting Rights Act. 317 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: It's fine. Let the states decide. Let the states decide 318 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: to have separate water fountains if they want based on 319 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: the color of your skin. It's the state's right. Let 320 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: the states decide whether mixed race couples should be allowed 321 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: to get married. Come on, let the states do it. 322 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: But they just can't help themselves, can they? Although they'll 323 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: be the first ones to pass a federal law or 324 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment ensuring that women can kill their babies 325 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,479 Speaker 1: before they're born. But I digress. It's almost like they 326 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: have inconsistencies in their arguments, isn't it. But the most 327 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: important part of what he said is at the very 328 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: beginning of. 329 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 5: The United States Constitution also makes clear that only citizens 330 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 5: can vote. 331 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: There you go, it's already there in the Constitution. We 332 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: don't need a law to state that. Imagine if every 333 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: single member of Congress just decided that they didn't need 334 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: any statutes that actually enforce what the Constitution already states. 335 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: Nobody's breaking the law out there. It's in the constitution 336 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: and everybody knows it, so who would violate it? Right, 337 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: We don't need any laws about gun ownership, it's in 338 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: the constitution. We don't need any laws protecting free speech 339 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: or freedom of religion or assembly. It's in the constitution. 340 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: Everybody already knows. It's such a vacuous argument, not even 341 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: worthy of Hakeem Jeffreys. That's how bad it is. Where's 342 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: this sombrero? By the way, Chuck Schumer also decided to 343 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: take up the argument. This is the fearless leaders on 344 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: the side representing the ten percent of this country who 345 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: don't want this to happen. 346 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 6: Maga. Republicans want to drag this chamber down and waste 347 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 6: time on a bill that not too long ago was 348 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 6: considered fringe but now is part of the Republican mainstream. 349 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 6: Not a single Democrat will support the Say You Act. 350 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 6: It's a radical bill, and if Republicans try to burn 351 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 6: time on this legislation here on the floor, we will 352 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 6: oppose them for as long as it takes. 353 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: It's fringe, everybody, it's fringe to want to make sure 354 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: that only citizens are registered to vote. It's fringe to 355 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you have a photo ID 356 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: to ensure that you are who you say you are. 357 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: By the way, good luck trying to visit Chuck Schumer's 358 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: office on Capitol Hill if you don't have a photo ID, 359 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen. But yeah, we're in the fringe. Well, 360 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: you know what, from Chuck Schumer's perspective and from his 361 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: party's perspective, you are a fringe. But you know, viva 362 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: la fringe. I'm proud to be fringe if being mainstream 363 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: and popular means aligning myself with Chuck Schumer. But the 364 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is we have the numbers, we 365 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: have the power, we have this policy, we have this issue, 366 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: and if for some reason they're not able to push 367 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: it through in publicly shamed Democrats into such a blinding 368 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: stupor that they oppose this and they stand on their 369 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: hill that they want to die on, good then we 370 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: go back to the House. The House embeds it into 371 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: some bill, you know, funding our military or something else 372 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: that Democrats couldn't possibly vote against, or or we just 373 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: take it back to the election. In these midterms, what 374 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: have you, But it's gonna get done in our lifetime. 375 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: It will get done. It might just not get done 376 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: this week.
