You're looking live at 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 3: the Senate floor as the Democratic filibuster. 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Has been broken. 7 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 3: We have so far reached sixty. We're writing for the 8 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 3: official count, but right now sixty votes that would unlock 9 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 3: moving forward with this plan to reopen the government. On 10 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 3: the Senate side. 11 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 4: The key thing to note there was the Democrats filibuster. 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 4: We're not out of the woods yet. We've just taken 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 4: a step forward. We can see the edge of the forest. 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: Or something. 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 4: Kina City's News Talk A.

We would have watched it a lot earlier 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 4: or a lot sooner. Kyle's been working though, he's very busy. 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: So it was great.

Glad that you are here. 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: Andrew Langer, DC political insider, regulatory guru, he'll join us 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 4: at six point thirty this morning to help break some 42 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 4: of this down and we'll get into more of the 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: local reaction to everything that has transpired so far. So 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 4: let me get you have to speak, we'll set the 45 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 4: table if you will. The government shutdown did enter its 46 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: fortieth day over the weekend. You had senators in DC 47 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 4: that we're working through the weekend. Oh so sad trying 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 4: to find a resolution to the funding fight. It's been 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: disrupting flights, let's federal workers without pay, mass confusion relating 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 4: to snap benefits and who is going to pay them again. 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 4: It's going to take a little bit of time to 52 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: break down what has transpired that's caused all of this confusion, 53 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 4: apart from the you know, being more specific that the Democrats, 54 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 4: activist judges, activists Supreme Court justices did everything they could 55 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 4: to sew as much chaos as possible heading into the 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: weekend and throughout the weekend. So prior to the vote 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 4: that took place last night, Senate Majority Leader John Thuns 58 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: said the Chamber was a handful of votes away from 59 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 4: passing a bill to reopen the government, indicating that some 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: progress was made in negotiations. And then last night a 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: procedural vote was taken and the Senate voted sixty to 62 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 4: forty to move forward to go and reopen the government. 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: Passed a continuing resolution without any guarantee on the Obamacare subsidies, 64 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 4: essentially leaving a handshake deal in place between Democrats and 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: Republicans in Congress that they will revisit the subsidies later on. 66 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 4: All of this is to say the Democrats could have 67 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: ended it well over thirty days ago. And what's happening 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: right now is you have a handful of Democrats in 69 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: the Senate that are basic providing cover for the rest. 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Of their party, many of whom are big mad. 71 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: And I know they're big mad because they're posting videos 72 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 4: online and they're using a lot of profanity, which Sam 73 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: then has to go and edit, so I can play 74 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 4: the audio clips on the. 75 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Air and hopefully I get them all. 76 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: This is the Democrats and how they show that they're 77 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: powerful right among the criticism of their own party that 78 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: they're weak. They use an abundance of profanity, and they 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: also don't have any substance whatsoever. I have clips from 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: Senator Aaron may Quaid, I have Lieutenant Governor Senate candidate 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: Peggy Flan again. I have quotes from Tim Walls and 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: the Socket Wrench DFL party chair to share with you 83 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: later on in the show. So, continuing to sort of 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: again set the stage on what actually has transpired here, 85 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: this procedural vote is just that it's basically a vote 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: of Democrats and Republicans to say, Okay, we agree that 87 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: it looks like we have enough people on board to 88 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: go ahead and move forward to vote to reopen the government, 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: and this could take a couple of days for them 90 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 4: to get their act together to make this to make 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: this happen now. A lot of the confusion over the 92 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 4: weekend started because the US Supreme Court ended up siding 93 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 4: with President Donald Trump late on Friday, temporarily blocking in 94 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 4: order for the administration to somehow fully fun food stamps 95 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 4: while Senate Democrats keep the government shut down. This caused 96 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 4: mass amounts of chaos. And this wasn't suddenly the Supreme 97 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: Court agreeing with the Trump administration. This was Justice Brown 98 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: who ended up issuing a ruling blocking the other activist 99 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: judges that were forcing the Trump administration to make these 100 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 4: payments to snap without identifying where they were going to 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: go and pull the money from. It is very confusing. 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: I almost need the yarn and the corkboard to be 103 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 4: able to lay it all out. I will do the 104 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: best that I possibly can on the show this morning. 105 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: But basically, the activist judges went and attempted to force 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: Trump's hand. States responded, and then Jackson stepped in. Jackson 107 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 4: Brown stepped in, not the singer, the Justice. Make sure 108 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 4: I got that clear, and she stopped the federal judge order. 109 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 4: But she did that because there were already moves being 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: made by states to go and pay SNAP benefits, and 111 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 4: now stopping it made it sound as if the Trump 112 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 4: administration doesn't want to pay anybody Snap benefits, to which 113 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 4: you had commentary after commentary, comment after comment, and post 114 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 4: after post online saying, oh my gosh, look the Trump 115 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 4: administration doesn't want to feed people. They pushed back on 116 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 4: this order. No, those orders were done by activist judges 117 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: without any sort of means for the federal government to 118 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 4: even move forward. On top of that, if you have 119 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: states that are paying out SNAP benefits at the local 120 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 4: level and then suddenly we have money flowing again from DC, 121 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 4: I mean, do you and I really believe, do you 122 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 4: really believe for a moment that they're going to reconcile 123 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: the math and figure out how much money was paid 124 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: by the states, how much money the government needs to 125 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 4: go and give back to the states. I mean, again, 126 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: you're talking about nothing but pure and utter chaos, and 127 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: it was all intentionally by design. So I'll dive into 128 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: more details coming up. I have a couple of interesting 129 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: audio clips to play, including Trump and I haven't mentioned 130 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: the filibuster aspect of this prediction kind of came true. 131 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: Republicans were getting closer and closer to coalescing with removing 132 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: the filibuster and moving forward with election integrity, and suddenly 133 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: now Democrats are coming to the table. It's one of 134 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 4: the many reasons why they're caving a lot of. 135 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: Ground to cover. 136 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: On the show this morning, as always, I want to 137 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 4: hear from you.

Reminded of the 204 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 4: story that I've told on the year before when I 205 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 4: was talking to a local media outlet during my rock 206 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: radio days and I made a comment of an issue 207 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: being shelved under the rug. That's not how that works 208 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 4: at all. Trump did send a final warning heading over 209 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: the weekend. 210 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say is. 211 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 6: Some of the things that we passed if we terminated 212 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 6: the filibuster, voter ID, no mail in voting, no cash bail, 213 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 6: no men in women's sports, you know, welfare for illegals. 214 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 6: You could go on and on. This is two pages 215 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 6: of things would do if you did that. Without it, 216 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 6: I don't know that you passed anything because you can't 217 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 6: deal with them. They're really irrational, they really are. But 218 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 6: I was happy, happy to see that a tremendous liability 219 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 6: to this country, a woman that made herself rich in 220 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 6: this country, Nancy Pelosi is quit and she'll be out 221 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 6: of here pretty soon. And that I consider that to 222 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 6: be a great asset for America. 223 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 4: Regarding the filibuster, as I said on Friday's show, I'm 224 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 4: on board with eliminating it because the Democrats have said 225 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: once they get back into power, they're going to do 226 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: just that. Right now, I think the opportunity is lost, unfortunately, 227 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: depending on how the next few days transpire, and I 228 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: don't know if there's going to be another opportunity heading 229 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: into next year, because once they get past the shutdown, 230 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 4: we're right on the holidays. There's going to be very 231 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 4: little appetite between now and the end of the year 232 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: to move forward with anything with anything else. And a 233 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: part of the reasons why the reason why the Democrats 234 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: went and cave the way that they did is because 235 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 4: they're concerned about eliminating the filibuster and taking away the 236 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: ability of Democrats to go and pad voter rolls and 237 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,119 Speaker 4: conductionnanigans relating to the to our elections. 238 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 11: Good morning, John, I'm glad you brought up the filibuster. 239 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 11: I think we still got to keep the gas on 240 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 11: the pedal to nuke that sucker.

Then they've got the obviously you've got 326 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 10: the jerry manderin situation in Virginia that's going to move 327 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 10: forward jerrymandering and other states. And so they are playing 328 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 10: a very long game in terms of you know, maintaining 329 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 10: control and trying to disrupt the Trump agenda. Right and listen, 330 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 10: it's not as though they were hiding at John right. 331 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 10: The reality is that, you know, the New Jersey and 332 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 10: the Virginia elections were all about, you know, becoming a 333 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 10: bulwark against Trump. That's they were unabashed about that, certainly 334 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 10: J Jones, certainly Abigail Spenberger, I think Mikey Cheryl as well. 335 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 9: So anyway, so that's where we are right. 336 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 10: They got what they wanted, even if they didn't get 337 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 10: approximately what they were claiming that they wanted, and so 338 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 10: now they can move forward. 339 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: They got what they wanted narrative wise, in what they 340 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 4: were attempting to do by keeping it shut down for 341 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 4: as long as they did. I got a few different 342 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 4: places we can go here. So let me go here 343 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 4: first in terms of what they did get, and they 344 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: also got the ability in the future depending on how 345 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 4: Republicans move forward. Now it looks as if the philibuster 346 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 4: conversations seems to be shoved from the side, even though 347 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 4: this is. 348 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Going to come back up. And this is what I 349 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: wanted to mention, was. 350 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 4: That if and when, let's say, the philibuster is still 351 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 4: in place and when Democrats do get power back in Congress, 352 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: I mean they now have just in terms of talking points, 353 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: plenty of Republicans on board with eliminating vocally the filibuster. 354 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 4: When they go to move forward to eliminate the filibuster, 355 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 4: and I changed my tune on this, Andrew. At the 356 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 4: end of end of the week, I was not I 357 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 4: was not on board with the filibuster when you and 358 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 4: I spoke on Monday. By the end of the week 359 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 4: I had changed my tune regarding that because I think 360 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 4: Trump made some really good arguments relating to what he 361 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 4: wants to do with it. But the same time, Democrats 362 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: have been very vocal about wanting to get rid of it, 363 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 4: and I'd rather go and get rid of it on 364 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: our terms and move forward with what we want to 365 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 4: do than allowing them the opportunity, if and when they 366 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 4: get in power, to go and eliminate it and do 367 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: what they want to they want to do. But as 368 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 4: of right now, it looks as if the conversation surrounding 369 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 4: the filibuster has all but died. 370 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think at the end of the day, right, 371 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 10: that's that's just it. 372 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 9: It's you treade, you treade carefully. 373 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 10: But you know, it's interesting because my policy fellow, the 374 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 10: woman I work with at SEAPEC, you know, she's long 375 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 10: talked to you know, her theory about a lot of 376 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 10: what Trump has been doing, you know, in terms of 377 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 10: getting the courts, you know, the courts sort of pushing 378 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 10: back on the various aspects of the Trumps, of the 379 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 10: Trump agenda. 380 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 9: You know, her theory has been. 381 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 10: That it's been a way of sort of laying out 382 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 10: precedence of that power so that when the Democrats do, 383 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 10: when Gavin Newsom comes back into power, there are these 384 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 10: other precedents that are out there to sort of say, no, 385 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 10: you can't do this, Yes you can do X, No 386 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 10: you can't do why. 387 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 9: And I think there's some merit to that. I'm not 388 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 9: sure I agree with all of it, but you know, 389 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 9: it is nevertheless right. 390 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 10: All of these things, uh, you know, represent the various 391 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 10: changes in how we conduct business. 392 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: How much us let's go back to the last week 393 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 4: because you and I haven't had a chance to talk 394 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 4: since the since the election last week, and how much 395 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: I mean, how much do you put into the results? 396 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 4: I mean you're talking about mostly you know, blue states 397 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 4: where Democrats won in an off year election in which 398 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 4: Trump wasn't on the on the ballot. There wasn't a 399 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 4: huge you know a lot of huge surprises. I think 400 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 4: the distance between some of these victories was a little 401 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 4: lighter than what people anticipated. And you know, something that 402 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 4: I discovered, you know, in the wake of the election results, 403 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 4: was that Abigail Spaanberger had run relatively for Democrats right now, 404 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 4: comparatively speaking, moderate campaign compared to what you hear from 405 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 4: a lot of Democrats, including being very vocal about some 406 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 4: of the issues regarding trans you know, gender identity, racial issues, 407 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 4: saying that those were not things that Democrats were going 408 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 4: to be able to win elections off of. So I'm 409 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 4: just curious, you know, how much do you put into 410 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 4: your commentary relating to the results of the election as 411 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 4: being negative for Republicans and a big, huge positive for Democrats. 412 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 10: Well, I mean, listen, there are two ways to look 413 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 10: at it, John, One is on the structural side of it, right, 414 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 10: which is, what do these elections mean structurally for the 415 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 10: republic and what do they mean for the folks in 416 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 10: these states? And that's and what do they mean overall? 417 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 9: Right? And that's that's the bad part of it, which 418 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 9: is that you. 419 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 10: Know, if you know, the Democrat General Assembly in Virginia 420 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 10: which didn't pick up it, it didn't pick up as 421 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 10: many seats as they did, you know in twenty seventeen, 422 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 10: you know, the first Trump off cycle election. But nevertheless, 423 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 10: they have a resounding majority in the Virginia legislature. If 424 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 10: they're able to gerrymander out a number of Republican seats, right, 425 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 10: it changes the makeup, right in the same way California 426 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 10: doing it changes the makeup. And it opens up the 427 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 10: door potentially for Maryland to do the same thing. And 428 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 10: they only have one Republican member of Congress. But still 429 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 10: it's an important thing to have, so structurally down the road, 430 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 10: it means a great deal politically, you're right. 431 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 9: I mean, here's the thing. It wasn't in Virginia. 432 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 10: It wasn't as bad as it was in twenty seventeen, 433 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 10: and that was bad. I would push back on Abigail's Spanberger. 434 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 10: Abigail Spanberger basically ran the race that Kamala Harris tried 435 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 10: to win in twenty twenty four, which is to say 436 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 10: nothing for as long as possible in the hopes of 437 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 10: appearing more moderate than she actually is, and with the same, 438 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 10: by the way, the same sort of word salad issues 439 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 10: that Kamala Harris would get on the campaign trail. The 440 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 10: difference was there wasn't nearly as much exposure. She was 441 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 10: largely helped, she was able. Abigail Spaanberger was able to 442 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 10: define win Some Earl Series early on. And by the way, 443 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 10: what I love about this is we can no longer 444 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 10: say that when an African American woman is not elected 445 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 10: to office, uh, it's racism and misogyny. Maybe it's just politics, right, 446 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 10: because you know, Winsom Earl Seers would have been the 447 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 10: first African American woman elected to become in Virginia. Not 448 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 10: that we play those kinds of politics, but the point is, 449 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 10: hopefully it puts no small measure. 450 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 9: Of that to bed. 451 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 10: Yeah Revant, Yeah right, so, but but you know, there 452 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 10: was you know, wins Earl Seers is not a great candidate. 453 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 10: She is a lovely woman, she's very smart, she is 454 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 10: uh you know, politically solid, but she's just not a 455 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 10: great candidate. And the campaign wasn't all that great. And 456 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 10: Abigail Spenberger was able to define her very early on, 457 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 10: by the way, using a racist trope that nobody is 458 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 10: talking about, by essentially painting, uh, Winsome Earl Sears as 459 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 10: an angry black woman. That was the big The big 460 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 10: campaign ad was sort of win Some Earl Sears getting angry. 461 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 9: At a at a after. 462 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 10: Being heckled at a campaign speech, and so you know 463 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 10: that that's really what did it. You know, it was 464 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 10: a combination of those things, plus it really being able 465 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 10: to get the former federal for foreign and current foreign 466 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 10: and current furlough federal employees. Right, this is where the 467 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 10: shutdown is so important in the Virginia race. 468 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 9: Right. 469 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 10: The longer that the furlough, the longer the shutdown goes on, 470 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 10: the more angry federal workers are going to get. 471 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 9: And so they're going to vote for the change side 472 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 9: of it. 473 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 10: And so, you know, the most less and the most disturbing, 474 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 10: the most disturbing aspect of the election results were not 475 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 10: only by how much Jason mieris, who really is a 476 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 10: great guy and has a real future in politics, the 477 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 10: attorney general, how much Jason Mars lost to Jay Jones, 478 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 10: the candidate who not only fantasized about killing Republican children 479 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 10: but also engaged in sort of self dealing in terms 480 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 10: of not just a speeding ticket, but a criminal reckless 481 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 10: driving charge. Yeah, and by the way, given the ongoing 482 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 10: investigation of it, it may make him ineligible to become 483 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 10: attorney general. But my point is the amount by which 484 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 10: the amount by which Jay Jones b Jason miaris that 485 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 10: that is that is a very disturbing. 486 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 9: Number right there. 487 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 10: But again right this gets back to the shutdown politics here. 488 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 10: That's what they wanted because they are looking at the 489 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 10: long term of what they can gain in terms of 490 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 10: regaining and holding onto power. 491 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 4: Talking with Andrew Langer, yeah, the discourse is just atrocious 492 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 4: and the base of the Democrat Party just doesn't seem 493 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 4: to care about those types of threats.

But I think what we need 607 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 5: to do is we need to change the rule on 608 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 5: the filipbuster. If you're going to filibuster, get your butt 609 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 5: down there in the Senate well and talk and talk 610 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 5: and talk and talk. It needs to be painful to 611 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 5: whoever tries to filibuster as well make it work the 612 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 5: way it used to bring it back. 613 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: Have a great day. 614 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the filibuster talk goes. 615 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: There is an assumption that can be made. 616 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 4: That, seeing how Republicans could not get on board heading 617 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 4: into everything that's transpired over the weekend and Sunday with 618 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 4: this potential end to the shutdown, that if and when 619 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 4: Democrats were to get back into power, they would be 620 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: as reluctant as Republicans are. That's putting a lot of 621 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 4: faith in Democrats right now, which I don't have, which 622 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 4: is why I was in support and I continue to 623 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 4: be in support now of getting rid of the filibuster 624 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 4: and moving for forward with everything that we can possibly 625 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 4: do to shore up our election integrity. But because of 626 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 4: where we are right now with the shutdown and the 627 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 4: fact that Republicans just did not have the votes heading 628 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 4: into the weekend, I think at this point in time, 629 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 4: it's probably not going to happen. 630 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: Let me get back to this though. 631 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 4: President Donald Trump, as we mentioned, did taunt the Democrats 632 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 4: on Saturday, talking about how they were close to cracking. 633 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: His comments came just twenty four hours after Schumer put 634 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 4: forth a proposal to bring an end to the shutdown, 635 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 4: saying the Democrats would come to the table if Republicans 636 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 4: would sign off on a one year extension of the 637 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 4: Obamacare subsidies, a move that would bring the healthcare discussion 638 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: back to the forefront just in time for the midterm elections. 639 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 4: You had Senator Mark Wayne Mullen already said that Schumer's 640 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 4: offer was dead on arrival, and we know that it 641 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 4: was based on that procedural vote. Senator John Kennedy on 642 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 4: Fox News gave a slightly more colorful take. 643 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: Here's a bit of what he had to say. 644 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 13: What is your response to Chuck Schumer's proposal here to 645 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 13: keep those ACA benefits going for another year, bipartisan committee 646 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 13: to work on those and reopen. 647 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 1: The government with the clean. 648 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 14: Cr Oh, God, please give me patience, because if if 649 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 14: you give me strength, I'm going to need bail money. 650 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 4: Kennedy's the best on a CNN Dana Bash cornered Representative 651 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 4: Jamie Raskin on this issue. This was on Friday. He 652 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 4: was clearly low to answer the question. 653 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 2: One of the things that he has been talking about 654 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: for the last couple of days more intensely is getting 655 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 2: ready to filibuster. That's actually something that you wanted to 656 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: do when Joe Biden was president. Thanks for getting through 657 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 2: the Senate. Looks not an area where you agree with him. 658 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 9: We don't need a procedural fix at this point. 659 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 2: So they wanted the filibuster to be ended when Biden 660 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: was president. But now no, you know, I'm not in 661 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 2: the Senate, so I've got no say in that. 662 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 4: All right, coming up, I'm going to do my best 663 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 4: to break down all of the confusion that took place 664 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 4: regarding snap payments. You had activist judges attempting to force 665 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 4: the Trump administration to move forward with making snap payments, 666 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 4: not giving any indication on where the government was supposed 667 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 4: to go and pull this money from so because of that, 668 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 4: you had the USDA telling the States, hey, we need 669 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 4: to move forward making snap benefits. Local media outlets were 670 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 4: quick to go and frame this as if it was 671 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 4: Governor Tim Walls announcing November snap payments. And then you 672 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 4: had Justice Brown Jackson come out pausing those orders by 673 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 4: those activist judges, forcing the USA the USDA to go 674 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 4: back to the States and say stop making any sort 675 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 4: of payments, which, of course without the proper context, Democrats 676 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 4: grabbed onto and tried to paint the Trump administration as 677 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 4: being horrible and awful and not wanting people to have 678 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 4: the ability to buy food to eat. 679 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: We'll get some more of your thoughts. 680 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 4: From the iHeartRadio app as well via the talkbacks brought 681 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 4: to you by Lyndahl Realty.
