1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Hey, dragon, I'm sure you saw there's a full moon 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: out there. Well, I guess they're calling this moon a 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: beaver moon, and it's technically a super beaver moon because 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: it's the brightest and largest super beaver moon, I guess 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: over the year. 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: So if you haven't seen it, looks pretty cool. I 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: guess it's going to peak tonight. So give it a shot. 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: A beaver moon apparently, Sure if you say so, all right, 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: I just haven't had that phrase before. You might call 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: this segment this this Hour the flip flop segment. Trump 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: gave a speech this morning in which he talked about 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: al in the government shutdown, and one of his first 13 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: comments has made me stop and think to myself, hmm, 14 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 2: maybe he's right, maybe I'm wrong. Before we get to that, 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: let me lay a baseline by reading you a paragrap 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 2: from a story that I read earlier this morning, which 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: was a basis for part of what I talked about 18 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: in terms of this realignment going on with voters in 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: these urban areas. And the story goes like this, Republicans 20 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: hold a trifecta in Washington, and the second Trump administration 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: has gambled on an agenda of maximum disruption. Now that 22 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: trifecta is the House descendant in the White House, and 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: that agenda of maximal disruption is steel the border. Start 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: to deport illegal aliens and then impose tariffs, protect our 25 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: supply chains, start to protect our you know, bring America first, 26 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: bring manufacturing back, and start that process as rapid as 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: we can. And that is maximum disruption. The paragraph continues, 28 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: But the pace of that disruption might now be generating 29 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: political friction, just as the frantic government overreach of Democrats 30 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one paved the way for a working 31 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: class Republican realignment in both Virginia and New Jersey. Exit 32 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: In both Virginia and New Jersey, exit polls showed that 33 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: the economy was far and away the most important issue 34 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: to voters, and those saying voters overwhelmingly back to Democrats. 35 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: Now I understand, I'm just this is one person's opinion. 36 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: I would know. However, again, let's temper that a little 37 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: bit by recognizing yes in blue states, so we shouldn't 38 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: be surprised by it. It's actually correct. But the perspective 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: is that's what occurred in blue states. The question is 40 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: does that translate into purple states? Or into red states. 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: Then it continues, let me start that whole sentence again, 42 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: But the pace of that generation of that disruption might 43 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: now be generating political friction. Just as the frantic government 44 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: overreached the Democrats in twenty twenty one paved the way 45 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: for a working class Republican realignment. In both Virginia and 46 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: New Jersey, exit polls showed that the economy was far 47 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: and away the most important issue to voters, and those 48 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: saying voters overwhelmingly backed the Democrats. Younger Americans also heavily 49 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: favored Democrats, and a particular ominous stat for Republicans is 50 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: buried in both states exit poll data, voters who disapproved 51 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: of both parties went for Democrats in a landslide. Pause 52 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: for a moment. So if you're a pox on both parties, 53 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: as I often am, or you can't stand Trump and 54 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: you can't fan the Democrats, those double hater voters went 55 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: for Democrats in a landslide. The paragraph finishes out this way. 56 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: These double hater voters had been a key part of 57 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: the Trump coalition, but now that Republicans are in power, 58 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: these skeptics may be lurching towards the Democrat party. Are they? 59 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: What do the current polls show. If you look at NBC, 60 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: ABC News, Washington Post, Quinnipiac, Reuter's ipsos, and the AP 61 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: Nork poll, all of those are what I would call 62 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: the now look, I know that again their opinion leading, 63 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: not opinion reflecting, But those are the polls that you're 64 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: going to hear about over the next several days, particularly 65 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: depending on what happens in the Senate with the Continuing Resolution. 66 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 2: According to the NBC News poll, this is a voter's 67 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: polled between October twenty four and twenty eight, So last week, 68 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: fifty two percent of voters blame Trump and Republicans, twenty 69 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: five percent blame Congress, twenty four percent blame Trump, three 70 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: percent both. So that's fifty two percent of voters are 71 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,679 Speaker 2: blaming Trump and the Republicans for the government shutdown. Forty 72 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: two percent blame Democrats in Congress. I would note that 73 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: when you look at the tabs, that is the highest 74 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: recorded share blaming Democrats for a shutdown in the history 75 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: of NBC polling, but it's still not the majority, at 76 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: least according to NBC. It's good to ABC pretty much 77 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: the same thing, little tighter forty five percent blame Trump 78 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: and Republicans, thirty three percent blame Democrats. Twenty two percent 79 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: don't know their head from their butts, so twenty two 80 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: percent are unsure. Quinnipiac, forty five blame Republicans, thirty nine 81 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: blame democrats, eleven blame both. Now, among independents, forty eight 82 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: percent blame Republicans, thirty two percent blame Democrats. Reuters sixty 83 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: seven percent, now this is early October, this is early 84 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: in the game, sixty seven blame Republicans. Sixty three say 85 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 2: Democrats bear the same blame, So that's pretty close. That's 86 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: back in the beginning of October, and sixty three percent 87 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: say Trump bears at least some of the blame. Ap 88 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: sixty percent assigned significant blame to Trump, Fifty four percent 89 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: blame similar Democrats, So it's pretty close. The outliers probably 90 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: in BC, but even in DC notes that that is 91 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: the highest recorded share for Democrats in the history of 92 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: Democrat of NBC polling. And again that's at fifty two 93 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: to forty two percent. That's the most recent polls I 94 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: got just looking quickly during the break, So what did 95 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: Trump say that makes me begin to question my position 96 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: on the filibuster, let's listen to them. To a clip 97 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: from his presentation. 98 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, 99 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: and that's terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you 100 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: can do it. And if you don't terminate the filibuster, 101 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: you'll be in bad shape. We won't pass any legislation. 102 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: There'll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter. 103 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: We have three and a quarter year or so. It's 104 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: a long time. But when they can't do an extension, 105 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: and John, I think they've done an extension every single 106 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: time they've ever been asked forever, this is the first 107 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: time they haven't done an extension. 108 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: Extensions are supposed to be easy. 109 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: But if they won't do an extension, they won't do 110 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 3: any bill, even as simple bill. Then we should do 111 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: our own bills. We should get out, We should do 112 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: our own bills. We should open up. We should start 113 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then we should pass 114 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: voter ID, we should pass no mail in voting. We 115 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: should pass all the things that we wanted to pass, 116 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: make our elections secure, and say because California is a disaster, 117 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: many of the states are disasters. But can you imagine 118 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All we 119 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, 120 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, 121 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: you give ID. But for voting, they want no voter ID. 122 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: There's only for one reason, because they cheat. We would 123 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 3: pass that in fifteen minutes. If you don't get it, 124 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: you'll never pass that. You'll never talk about mail in ballast. 125 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: Mail in ballast, make it automatically corrupt. If you have 126 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: mail in ballast, automatically it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they 127 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: had the Carter Commission after we got out of office, 128 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: and he had a group of very distinguished people, Democrats 129 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: and Republicans, and they passed they recommended things take place. 130 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: It was a long time ago, and they said about 131 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: mail in ballads. If there is mail in ballance, there 132 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: will definitely be corruption. Because you know, they passed through 133 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: too many hands. I mean, you go and to vote 134 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: and they want you curry. 135 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: What do you think? 136 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 5: Now? 137 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: It's classic disjointed Trump's because he normally does. But I 138 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: think the message is pretty clear. If the Senate keeps 139 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: the filibuster rule in place, this is what makes me 140 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: begin to question my own attitude about the filibuster. I 141 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: told you either yesterday or day before that I think 142 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 2: they ought to keep it in place. This is all 143 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: extemporaneous because he makes a really solid point. Now, I 144 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: know there will be unintended consequences if Republicans and that's 145 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: a big if, because Senator Thune, the majority leader in 146 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,359 Speaker 2: the Senate, has indicated he's adamant about keeping the filibuster 147 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: in place. But Trump raises a really good point that's 148 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: worth consideration. If the Senate Republicans keep the filibuster rule 149 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: in place, then we will have another at least another 150 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: year and probably another three and a half years of 151 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing getting done at the federal level, because they 152 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: will always fill a buster something in the Senate, and 153 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: whatever it is that we wanted the Trump agenda to be, 154 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: those five Democrats will block it. Now, if we don't 155 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: secure elections, we know the Democrats will just keep stealing 156 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: more and more than each and every cycle, and down 157 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: that path leads to certain Democrat takeovers of both Houses 158 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: of Congress and most likely the White House without Trump 159 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: on the ballot in twenty twenty eight. Now, that's just 160 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: pure speculation On my part, I think that a ballot 161 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: of Rubio and Vans, or antson Rubio or any who knows. 162 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: It's early, but anybody has a good chance of still winning. 163 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Crumb doesn't say it in that clip, but he has 164 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: made the point before that once the Democrats are allowed 165 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: to recapture a majority in the Senate, they will certainly 166 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: follow the advice that I gave you yesterday about James 167 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: Carvell to nuke the Philibuster themselves. And if they do 168 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: it before we do it. I mean, this is like 169 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: playing war games. This is this is playing with nuclear warheads, 170 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: except it happens to be the Philibuster. If they regain 171 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: the Senate, they will absolutely do that, and that will 172 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: release the hounds of Marxist hell in this country, ensuring 173 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: the end of the Republic for good. So now I'm 174 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: beginning to really question maybe he might be right. Now, 175 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: Remember the filibuster is just a Senate rule. You can 176 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: change rules anytime you want to. It's not a statute, 177 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: it's not in the Constitution. It is a rule. Now 178 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: I understand the practical Remember I live in the real world, 179 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: and I understand what the real world, if results will 180 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: be if Trump gets this done, if the Senate decides 181 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: to eliminate the filibuster rule, then that means that anybody 182 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: who can control the White House and have at least 183 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: fifty divided Senate, they can still get anything passed, because 184 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: all you need is a simple majority. Now, it's unlikely 185 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: you're always going to have a fifty to fifty division 186 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: in the Senate. But if you have a fifty two 187 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: to forty eight division in the Senate and that fifty 188 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: two are Democrats, without the filibuster, they'll pass whatever they 189 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: want to. And now that we sip back, I'm literally 190 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: leaning back as we sip back and we think about hmm. 191 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 2: I support the filibuster because theoretically it has worked well 192 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: for us for you know, more than one hundred years 193 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: since the Senate adopted it, and it has prevented some 194 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: really crazy things from happening. But if we change it, 195 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: we can get some things that we need done done before. 196 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: And if they take over the Senate and they start 197 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: doing all the things that James Carvill said that he 198 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: thought that they ought to do. Remember Carvell yesterday in 199 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: that SoundBite, talked about some really crazy stuff that he 200 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: thought they ought to do, and that worries me because 201 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: Carvel's a nutjob. Carvel is truly a nutjob, and getting 202 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 2: the things done that he said he wanted to get 203 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: done would act actually drive the country into oblivion. It 204 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: would truly destroy everything this country stands for. Right now. 205 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: That's how crazy Carvel is. And he represents what the 206 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: Democrats lead. He truly is in that way. He's kind 207 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: of I wouldn't say he's the commander of the Democrat Party, 208 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 2: but he's the wise old sage of the Democrat Party. 209 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: And so what he has been telling them is likely 210 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: to be followed by them. He is, he is telescoping 211 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: to us what he's been thinking about doing. You need 212 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: you need mail in ballots, you need to you know, 213 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: open borders, you need to adopt all of these Marxist 214 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: policies that they've been talking about. Truly scary you when 215 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: you think about it. That's what he's going after. So 216 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: that raises the quest, all right, if that really is 217 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: what you're after, maybe we need to beat them to 218 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: the punch. Maybe Trump's right on the filibuster commit it 219 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: timidly failing to act to do the right thing out 220 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: of fear. What the Democrats might do in the future 221 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: bugs me. But that is a strategic a strategic choice 222 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: of a certain loser, because I know the Dems will 223 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: knot the filibuster as soon as they regain power, regardless 224 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: of what milk toast bristic country club Republicans do today. 225 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 2: They've made that crystal clear. So now I begin to 226 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: think that maybe the choice is clear. Either act now 227 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: so we'll be get secure federal elections with a national 228 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: voter ID requirement, or see the republic to permanent control 229 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: to the political party which just elevated in Islamo communists 230 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: to the mayor's office of the nation's largest city and 231 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: an aspiring murderer to the attorney general's post in the 232 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: state of Virginia. It's really kind of a stark choice. 233 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 2: It's probably one of the starkest choices the Republicans have 234 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: faced in my lifetime. And you can be certain that 235 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: they might fail the test now. A poster for Rasmus 236 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell got the reasoning why exactly right on X 237 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: early this morning. The nuclear option is really dangerous because 238 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: then voters will see that Republicans won't use it to 239 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 2: pass the laws. That's the other side of this issue. 240 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: If the Republicans knew the filibuster to reopen the government, 241 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: then will they go forward and do the things that 242 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: Trump talked about in that sound bite. Mark Mitchell at 243 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 2: Rasmussen Report might be exactly right. The filipbuster gives the 244 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: closet rhinos like John Cornyn in Texas, John Thune, Lindsey Graham, 245 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: John Barrasso, and a dozen more of mask. He keeps 246 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 2: them in the proverbial closet so they can pretend to 247 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: be something they really aren't. Conservatives and they're not. John 248 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: Cornyn is not a conservative, John Thun's not a conservative. 249 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham, Oh you think he's a conservative. But if 250 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: they eliminate the mask, they eliminate their electability and thus 251 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 2: in their ability to become famously wealthy by continuing to 252 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 2: feed off the DC Griffins once they'll be doing and 253 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: then I think myself, it's never going to happen anything. 254 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 5: Now. 255 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. These rhinos aren't exactly Democrats. They 256 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: do serve as the opposition party's facilitation. They are of 257 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 2: the neighbors of the Democrats right now, and as such 258 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 2: they are every bit the clear and present danger to 259 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: our survival as a republic, as the Democrats already are 260 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 2: one of them. Pumps got me utterly confused right now, 261 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: because he may be right and I might be. 262 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: Well, Michael, what's the point of voting when everything you 263 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: vote for goes the opposite way? 264 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 6: I can't believe that LL and MM passed. 265 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: I don't make more than three hundred thousand dollars that 266 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: but doesn't that give those people a reason to leave Colorado? 267 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it depends on the estimate. Is that that 268 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: additional tax to feed the children for someone making more 269 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: than three hundred thousand dollars a year's expected to be 270 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: I thought I read somewhere four four hundred and fifty 271 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: dollars a year. If you're making more than three hundred 272 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year, that probably isn't a tipping point 273 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: for you to say, I'm going to pack up and 274 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: move to Arizona. I'm going to pack up and move 275 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: to Texas. Could be in some circumstances, but I mean, 276 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: it probably wouldn't be in my circumstance. But to your 277 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 2: point about it is incredibly frustrating that, for example, so 278 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: Trump wins, we start getting what we want done done, 279 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 2: and then that's used against us. We're on constant defensive, 280 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: except when we go on offense, then we end up 281 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: being on defense, and we end up being on defense 282 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: because the cabal steps in and the cabal takes all 283 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: of the And this gives all the way back to 284 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 2: my conversation about those who might be uneducated. Although they 285 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: are highly educated, they're not very well educated. It gets 286 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: to the people that are brought up on government schools. 287 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: It gets to the people who don't understand economics, that 288 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: understand our constitutional framework, they don't understand anything. We have 289 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 2: raised generation and generation and generation of useful idiots that 290 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: are now fellow travelers of someone like zofram MONDNNI, and 291 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 2: now we're going to pay the price for it. And 292 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: real quick though, did you see that text message that 293 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: was talking about the new name for Zofram mom domit's 294 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: uh do Zofran mom dummy. Oh yeah, mom dom dummies, 295 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: the mom dommies. In fact, it says the day the 296 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: mom dommy screwed New York City, I really wish we 297 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: could wall off New York City and just let them 298 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: conduct your experiment. Show us what four years of socialist 299 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 2: Marxist communist rule looks like and for all of those 300 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: who are escaping to the to the tri state area, 301 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 2: either scraping into New Jersey or New Canaan, Connecticut, or 302 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: Westchester County. You may think you're escaping, but if your 303 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: business or your employment is still within one of the 304 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: five boroughs, you're still going to pay for it. That's 305 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: the fighting. We tend to think that, you know, New 306 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: York City is just Manhattan, it's not as those five boroughs. 307 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of people that makes up eight 308 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: million people, that eight plus million people that make up 309 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 2: those five boroughs. But another one, why can't they just 310 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: change that? This is seventy five thirty two. Why can't 311 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: they just why can't the Senate change the filibuster rule 312 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: back to just a true filibuster a human must be 313 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: present to argue. Well, they could do that too, except 314 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: I'm not sure you could make the rule retroactive. You 315 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: can make a proactive you know, for the future, but 316 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: they're operating under the current rule. To change the current 317 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: rule in the middle of the rule being invoked, you'd 318 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: have to talk to the parliamentary and I don't know, 319 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 2: I don't know what it would do in that situation. 320 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, that would be a that would be okay 321 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: with me, except modern technology would allow somebody to put 322 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: in a catheter, to put in a kiloscopy bag, and 323 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: they could poop and pee, and then of course people 324 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: could bring them food and they could stand and talk 325 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: for months on end. Now, eventually sleep's going to take 326 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: them over, and they're going to pass out and make 327 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: themselves sick, and they'll just collapse on the floor. And 328 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: but you know somebody else, there'll be a Democrat just waiting, 329 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: and you know, they'll hand it off to another Democrat 330 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: and they'll just continue to do that. So, once again, 331 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: considering modern technology, maybe it is time to get rid 332 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: of the rule. But I wanted to go back to 333 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: This is James Carvill. This is the SoundBite I played 334 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: for you yesterday of James Carvell telling the Democrats that 335 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: this is what you need to do. He tells al Hunt, 336 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: the Democrats must do a bunch of manifestly undemocratic things 337 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: in order to save democracy if they can manage to 338 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: take control of Congress in the White House in twenty 339 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: twenty eight. This you know, maybe Trump saw that. 340 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 7: The Democrats talk about democracy, and you have you see 341 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 7: the importance of democracy and deserve a democracy and say 342 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 7: the democracy. Well, the truth of that is people are 343 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 7: right when they say this democracy is really imperfect. And 344 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 7: they're going to have to do if the Democrats win 345 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 7: the presidency, the Senate, and the House in twenty twenty eight, 346 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 7: which is not impossible. 347 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 4: I don't know if you say likely or possible. 348 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: Now, just to give you the perspective you need. If 349 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: they win but they don't win sixty votes in the Senate, 350 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: the Republicans could invote the filibuster and stop them from 351 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 2: doing these things. But if they win sixty votes or more, 352 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: the filibuster becomes meaningless because they've got enough of their 353 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: own Democrat votes to end any Republican filibuster. In fact, 354 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: practically speaking, to even prevent a filibuster from starting, because 355 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 2: the Republican would know that the minute they start speaking, 356 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: somebody will call for you know, they'll call for a 357 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: motion on the floor to end whatever that senator started, 358 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 2: and that takes precedent and boom it'd be over, and 359 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: then they would do this. 360 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 7: I don't know what word you know, but it's certainly 361 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 7: not impossible. They are just going to have to be 362 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 7: lightedly at Puerto Rican industry of Columbia states. They're gonna 363 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 7: have to The Congress does give the Constitution gives Congress 364 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 7: power over federal elections. I don't think they can read district, 365 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 7: but they they're things they gonna do. They're going to 366 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 7: have to do it. They're just going to have to 367 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 7: do it. 368 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: And they may have. 369 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 7: To expand the court to thirteen members. Any of those 370 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 7: things in isolation, I would be skeptical about. I would 371 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 7: be cautious about. I would say, well, I don't know 372 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 7: if that's the greatest idea in the world. If you're 373 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 7: opening Pandora's spots or be up all kinds of things, don't. 374 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: I find it fascinating that he thinks that any individual 375 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: thing like that is probably pretty bad. He probably shouldn't 376 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 2: do it. But if we could do the whole shebang, 377 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 2: then let's do the whole shebang. 378 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 7: If you want to save democracy, I think you've got 379 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 7: to do all those things. 380 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: If you want to save democracy, you have to do 381 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: all those undemocratic things. Make Puerto Rico and the DC estate, 382 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: why not make Guama state. Come on, let's let's let's 383 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: throw Guam in. There might tip over but throw them 384 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: in there and then federalize elections. Yeah, we'll have an 385 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: election month, federal elections for Congress and Senate, and the 386 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: president will go on from October four to November four, 387 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 2: maybe even longer. Node need no sneaking, ID show us 388 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: the utility bill or just you know, same day vote, 389 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 2: the same day register, the same day you vote, that 390 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: other people cast the ballots for you. 391 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 7: With just moving further and further away from being anything 392 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 7: closer democracy. 393 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: Yes, we all we're trying to move closer and closer 394 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: to being a republic. 395 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 7: You've dumb ass, and I don't know if it's something 396 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 7: that they should talk about during the campaign. I guess 397 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 7: you probably would want to because when you see if 398 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 7: you have a democratic House, a democratic senator, and a 399 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 7: democratic president, they should do that on day one, four 400 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 7: more United States Senators, four more Supreme Court members, and 401 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 7: some stringent national legislation on how you can do Congress 402 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 7: could they could easily pass a laws and you can 403 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 7: only redistrict once every ten years? Yeah, I mean, what 404 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 7: what pre cimitated consulates the crisis with Disupreme courts say 405 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 7: you can't expand to thirteen. They say that's some tenement 406 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 7: to adding two more states. 407 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: Sure, and. 408 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 4: What they do they. 409 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 7: Don't just if you're a ruling on the Chado docket 410 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 7: saying it's over, but. 411 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: That's that's enough. Then you go back to what Trump said, 412 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: and now you have to start, at least in my mind, 413 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 2: start questioning whether or not I'm wrong and Trump might 414 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 2: be right. 415 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, 416 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 3: and that's terminate the filibuster. 417 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 4: It's the only way you can do it. 418 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 3: And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in 419 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 3: bad shape. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no 420 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 3: legislation passed for three in a quarter. We have three 421 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: and a quarter years, so it's a long time. But 422 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 3: when they can't do an extension, and John, I think 423 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 3: they've done an extension every single time they've ever been 424 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: asked forever, this is the first time they haven't done 425 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: an extension. 426 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 4: Extensions are supposed to be easy. 427 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: But if they won't do an extension, they won't do 428 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 3: any bill, even a simple bill. Then we should do 429 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 3: our own bills. We should get out, we should do 430 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 3: our own bills. We should open up. We should start tonight. 431 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 3: With the country's open congratulations, then we should pass voter ID. 432 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 4: We should pass no mail in voting. 433 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 3: We should pass all the things that we wanted to pass, 434 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: make our elections secure, and say, because California is a disaster, 435 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 3: many of the states are disasters. But can you imagine 436 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 3: when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All we 437 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 3: want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, 438 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, 439 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 3: you give ID. But for voting, they want no voter ID. 440 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 3: There's ony for wonder is it because they cheat? We 441 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 3: would pass that in fifteen minutes. If you don't get it, 442 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 3: you'll never pass that. You'll never talk about mail in ballast. 443 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 3: Mail in ballasts make it automatically corrupt. If you have 444 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: mail in ballots automatically it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they 445 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: had the Carter Commission after he got out of office, 446 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 3: and he had a group of very distinguished people, Democrats 447 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: and Republicans, and they passed they recommended things take place. 448 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: It was a long time ago, and they said about 449 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: mail in ballots, if there is mail in ballots, there 450 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: will definitely be corruption. Because you know, they passed through 451 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 3: too many hands. I mean, you go in to vote 452 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: and they want you. If I'd been Trump. 453 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: Or as an advanced team or his political advisor, I 454 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: would have said, after you give this speech, then I 455 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: would say, and if we don't eliminate the filibuster and 456 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: Democrats win in twenty twenty eight, and they've got sixty 457 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: votes in the Senate, or it won't make any difference. 458 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: If we get rid of the filibuster, they got fifty 459 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 2: one votes in the Senator, fifty they've got to trifecta 460 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: House and the White House. Then I'd play the video 461 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: of Carvel that I just played you and just point 462 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: out to all of those senators at that breakfast this morning, 463 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: and this is what the country will get, and that 464 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: will be the end of the republic. 465 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 6: Did get off your moral high ground. 466 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: It's time to pack the Supreme Court and Republicans favor 467 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: and jerrymander all red states into Republican favor. Do it 468 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: or lose because they're going to do it. 469 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 4: Do people just really not understand this? 470 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 2: Git you just don't get a DOA No, I don't 471 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: get it at all. I don't understand any of this. 472 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 8: If if you don't believe that mom, Donnie or man 473 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 8: dummy is out there to really just viscerate and you know, 474 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 8: redistribute wealth. 475 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 2: Well, the UH sees the means of production. He made 476 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: it quite clear in his first interview this morning over 477 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: on ABC. 478 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 9: Let's stick into that because you're not talking about a 479 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 9: rent freeze, you're talking about free busses, you're talking about 480 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 9: free childcare. Can you do that without raising taxes? 481 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 5: I think you can do that, and I think you 482 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 5: have to raise taxes on the top one percent of 483 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 5: New Yorkers, New Yorkers who make more than a million 484 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 5: dollars a year, and you do that by raising taxes 485 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 5: by them two percent. And then you also increase the 486 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 5: corporate tax of New York State to match that of 487 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 5: New Jersey. So that takes us from about seven point 488 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 5: twenty five to about eleven point five percent. 489 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 2: Of what we see in New Jersey. So you're in 490 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 2: tax everybody because everybody pays corporate taxes.
