1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Sa Hammer, Nigel Show, my name is Nigel Jason Hammer 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: right over there and goes straight to the hotline and 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: bring on Breitbart Politics reporter Olivia Rondo. Olivia, there's I mean, 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: the biggest news nationally obviously, I think, is the Save Act, 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's initiative to not only make it a requirement 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: for you to prove that you're a legal citizen when 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: you register to vote, but also show your ID when 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: you go to vote. Can you tell us the latest 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: on the Save Act? Who's for it, Who's against it? 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Did I get that? Did I get that? All right? 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for having me. 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: Great synopsia so far, you basically hit the nail on 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 3: the head. It's a very very popular amongst most American voters. 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: I mean, eighty percent of Americans want voter ID. 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: So the Democrats are all against it, the Republicans are 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: mostly for it. In the Senate, we have reached a fifty. 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: Vote threshold and j. D. 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: Vance would be the tiebreaker as the Vice President and 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: President of the Senate. Of course, we have reached a 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: kind of a standstill here because to break cloture or 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: to end the argument and bring it to the floor 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 3: for the vote they would have to reach a sixty 23 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: vote filibuster threshold, and they just don't have enough people 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 3: for it, because even a couple of Republicans, i'm pretty 25 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: sure Senator Mitch McConnell is not on board, Senators Susan 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: Conwins who recently got on board, which was kind of 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: a surprise to some people. But we would need to 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: either break the filibuster, make it a standing or talking filibuster, 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 3: which is what Senator Mike Lee from Utah, the sponsor 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: of the bill in the Senate, wants to do, and 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 3: fills the Democrats to argue about it, or it's just 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: not going to pass. So that's really the argument right 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 3: now is against the Democrats who are holding what Mike 34 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: Lee calls a zombie filibuster by not even arguing about it, 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: just saying, well, we're gonna we're gonna stop you from 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: bringing it to the floor because you guys don't have 37 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: sixty votes. But they don't even want to argue about it. 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: So it's between the Democrats who don't want to argue 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: and the Republicans are says, hey, if you don't want it, 40 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: you have to argue against it and stand up and 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: show your proof and show your evidence, but they don't 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: want to do that. 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 4: So the million dollar question is why, Olivia, Why don't 44 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: the Republicans who do have the majority in the Senate, 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: albeit very slight, why are they seemingly afraid to fight 46 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 4: on this? What's the argument against making them stand up 47 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: there and just read the encyclopedia for hours upon hours 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 4: in the filibuster process. 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 3: Well, great question, and with all due respect to Senate 50 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 3: Majority Leader John Soon, he has indicated that he will back. 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: When he was made the leader descent in twenty twenty four, 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: he vowed to protect the filibuster, but he has indicated that, 53 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, he indicated that he is scared of using 54 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 3: a nuclear option to break the filibuster all throats together, 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: which is what a lot of Republicans are saying. 56 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: I think Mike Lee and Trump. 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: Have it implied that a nuclear option could be the 58 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 3: way to go to try to ram this legislation through, but. 59 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 2: He doesn't want to do that. 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: He and maybe some other pragmatic Republicans are saying this 61 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 3: is not a realistic way to go because it'll set 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: an awful president that Democrats will just use the same 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: method and ram their legislation through when they have when 64 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: they have power in the House, in the Senate. 65 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: You know, I just want to make sure we're still 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: talking about voter ID, right. You got to have your 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: ID when you go buy cigarettes or sudifid or alcohol. 68 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: This is really a simple thing. I'm seeing a lot 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: of comparison to Lydia. I don't know about you too, 70 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: Jim Crow, Jim Crow two point zero. And this to 71 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: me is indicative of just the poor messaging and the 72 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Democrats altogether, because, like you said at the beginning, Democrats 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: are in favor of voter ID, but when they invoke 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: Jim Crow, it kind of lessens the effect Jim Crow 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: actually had back in the day. And not only that, 76 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: but the people that they're taught talking to that they're 77 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: messaging to don't even know who Jim Crow is. They 78 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: don't know what a woman is alone, Jim Crow, what 79 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: do you think? I mean? 80 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: It's so insane, guys. 81 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he called the bill Jim 82 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: Crow two point zero. Jamie Raskin from Maryland, he said 83 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: that this is a violation of the Nineteenth Amendment. 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: This is taking away women's rights to vote. Alex Padilla. 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: Uh. He said, this is like going around telling people 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: to show your papers, like we're throwing people into concentration 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: camps or kidnapping them or something. I'll just have to say, 88 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 3: my grandparents who actually suffered under Jim Crow, I think 89 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 3: they would have a lot. 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: To say about this stupid. 91 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 3: Ignorant comparison from people who never suffered under it. I'd 92 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: ventured to guess that Chuck Schumer was not a victim 93 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: of Jim Crow. 94 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: He these people are using. 95 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: An emotional manipulation tactic to invoke some type of knee 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: jerk reaction to simply wanting voter. But the truth of 97 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: the matter is that these statistics are even on CNN. Okay, 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: they use statistics from the Pew Research Centers that were 99 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: just released that it was like eighty three percent of 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: Americans are in favor of better ID. 101 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 2: But it's also over. 102 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: Seventy and eighty percent of Hispanic and Black Americans. 103 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 2: So if we're going to use this language, there's really. 104 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: Extreme stuff that as this is Jim Crow, this is 105 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: will not be tactic or the sexist. 106 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: Approach and the miss Avis Broch this is. 107 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: Against the Nineteenth Amendment, which is nine we can get 108 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: into the whole women name change thing, because that's another big. 109 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: Topic that they're bringing up. 110 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: But when you use that stuff, I think you lose 111 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: all standing you had in that argument. 112 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: Olivia, I am so glad you brought that up, because 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: Nigel and I have been talking about this. I'm surprised 114 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 4: there's not more backlash when people make these over the top, 115 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: boombastic type of comparisons Jim Crow or somebody you don't 116 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 4: like is Hitler, Like, I am so surprised we don't 117 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: hear from people who actually went through the civil rights 118 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: fights fighting back, going you don't know what the hell 119 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 4: you're talking about. I'm surprised we don't hear more Jewish 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 4: people going, yeah, maybe you need to learn a little 121 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 4: bit about the Holocaust. The politician you don't like isn't 122 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 4: burning people in an oven. Are you surprised we don't 123 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 4: hear more pushback. 124 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 3: I am surprised that at the end of the day, 125 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: you know, minority democrats, you know, black, Jewish, Latino democrats, 126 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, they're just going to 127 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: let this type of writers be used at the expense 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: of their own communities and their own people. Because there 129 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: are tons of Black Democrats who lie and say that 130 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: the Republicans are the KKK and Jim Crow two point 131 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 3: zero when knowing that their parents and grandparents and they 132 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: have actually experienced this type of thing, and it's completely shameless. 133 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: You know, there are Jewish Democrats who say that Trump 134 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 3: is a Nazi and he's Hitler. It's like, dude, what 135 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: would your grandparents say about that? There is a clear 136 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: it's not even close. I don't even have to emphasize 137 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: that there's a stark differ between the President of the 138 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: United States and a genocidal maniac. So I don't even 139 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: have to explain that. But I do think that the 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: Democrats across all communities, they just kind of have no 141 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: shame about it. Republican minorities who Republicans and consertives, I 142 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: have seen them called it out. I've been calling it out. 143 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: And just to touch. 144 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: Back on the women thing, a lot of people are saying, 145 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: like Jamie Raskin, the congressman from Maryland, a lot of 146 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: people are saying, well, this is an anti women bill 147 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: because a lot of women change their surnames from the 148 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: maiden names when they get married. I don't really know 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: how to put it in simple terms for people who 150 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 3: can't understand. 151 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: But married women get passports like every day. 152 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: It's quite yeah, quite easy their citizenship and travel outside 153 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: the country every day, guys. 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: And you can extrapolate there from that take and that 155 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: argument to I mean, generally Democrats think their constituents are stupid. 156 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: It really is not so much of a stretch to 157 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: think that, oh, these my constituents, my voters don't know 158 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: how to get IDs. They could get an idea for 159 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: a controlled prescription that they have to go to purchase 160 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: at CVS, but they don't know.
