Welcome back to the fifty five Carse Morning Show, 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: Bradley J. It's always a pleasure talking with you, Brian. 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: It's great to be with you. Thank you so mean. 14 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: Let me let me just make sure I'm straight on 15 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 1: this whole thing. So with the government shutdown, at least 16 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: in part, the whole thing is predicated on this Save Act, 17 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: which is a photo ID requirement for federal elections. There 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: is a law on the books which says you must 19 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: be a US citizen to vote in a federal election. 20 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: So this doesn't really change anything much, but it does 21 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: ensure that people who are voting are who they say 22 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: they are, and this, as we all know, is widely 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: embraced by the vast majority of Americans of all political stripes, races, creeds, 24 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: and caller. It's like a seventy thirty or eighty twenty issue. 25 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: So they're shutting. They shut the government down for this, 26 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: and aren't they all? Also the Senate on recess this 27 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: week as well, so they're really not doing anything. 28 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: The Senate, I believe comes back in today the houses 29 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: in recent House. But yeah, the at least a twelfth 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: of the government or one of the twelve Propriations bills 31 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: is lapsed right now, so Homeland Security is technically in 32 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: a government shut down right now. Stephen Miller and other 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: of the President's advisors were prudent enough when passing the 34 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: Big Beautiful Bill to include a surge of funding for 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: many of the DHS functions, including ice border patrol, so 36 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: much of that is going forward. In addition, I believe 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: about ninety percent of Homeland Security is considered essential, so 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: it's continuing to go forward like most of you know, 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: your TSA, your Coastguard, your FEMA, so a lot most 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: of what is encapsulated in this funding is moving forward. 41 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: It's just another example of the Democrats just pandering to 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: the radical base that controls them that's calling all the 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 2: shots for Tuck Schumer because as you say, they will 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: do anything to try to prevent any sorts of changes 45 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: that would either kick illegals out of the country or 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: stop them from voting. It's really it really is remarkable. 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: Right, It's completely remarkable, which leaves us in the weird situation. 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: I guess centim the Majority Leader John Thune is going 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: to maybe push him toward the talking standing filibuster. They 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: could do the nuclear option, which is getting rid of 51 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: the sixty vote threshold to move the legislation forward, noting 52 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: that the House has already passed the Save Act. This 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: is in the sentence hands now, so he's not He's 54 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: indicated he's not keen on doing that, and I guess 55 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: for some reason I understand it. But flipping over to 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: the talking slash stand filibuster, that means they have to 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: hold the floor basically until they relinquish. This is just 58 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: talking NonStop for one after another after another until one 59 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: side capitulates. Is that really what this boils down to? 60 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: Bradley Jay, So look, Brad I was a Senate staffer 61 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: for about seven years or so. Back in the day, 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: the most valuable commodity in the United States Senate is 63 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: the calendar. Is such a big deal because there are 64 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: all there are all these mechanisms that senators have to 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: hold hold up the proceedings. It's it's many of the 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: rules is anachronistic in old fashioned They work, but it's 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: very complicated and convoluted. The way that what we call 68 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: the filibuster works today, it's really it's an inappropriate use 69 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: of it. I think our founders would say. There is 70 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: what is now a sixty vote requirement. It used to 71 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: be sixty seven than at one point, I believe it 72 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: was eighty many many years ago. But to move to 73 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: a bill, you have what's called or to move towards 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: either a vote on final passage or to move towards 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: a vote on consideration, you have what's called a cloture vote. 76 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: The way that that works is you have to have 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: now sixty people vote to say, well, we are finished 78 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: debating this. We've talked it out. Every side has either 79 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: four or against, has spoken as much as they want to, 80 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 2: So let's move to cloture. Let's move towards actually voting 81 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: on the theme. Well, but the way that people do 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: that now, even whether or not they're debating, whether they're 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: talking or not, they will just cast vote saying, yeah, no, 84 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: I haven't fully expressed my opinions on this. I want 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 2: to talk about it a little bit more, even if 86 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: they haven't been on the floor to talk about it. 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: It's not the way that the Senate is supposed to work. 88 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 2: So what these conservatives are now proposing is, well, okay, 89 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: put your money where your mouth is. If you say 90 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: that that you want to debate this more, you actually 91 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: have to be on the floor to debate it. You 92 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: have to be down on the floor doing this whole 93 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: Mister Smith goes to Washington style filibuster where you're actually talking. 94 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: If you and your buddies want to continue to block 95 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: this from coming to the floor, you have to actually vote. Now. 96 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: That takes a lot of time, and I won't spend 97 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: a day explaining that. The actual Rule twenty two of 98 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 2: the Senate that governs it, but it can eat in 99 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: two weeks of the Senate's calendar. That's what happened. You 100 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: think of like the civil rights legislation back in the 101 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: sixties and the fifties when those debates were going on 102 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: most of the time that those were killed before ultimately 103 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: being passed. It's just because these senators ate so much 104 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: of the Senate's time that the Senate leader said, you know, 105 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: there's other things that they want to do. So that's 106 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: what these one of the proposals is. Now. I'm a 107 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: little bit skeptical that senators will do anything to change 108 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: the rules, even these Republicans who would like to see 109 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: the Save Act pass, because so many of them uphold 110 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 2: the traditions of the Senate, even if all these Democrats 111 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: have cast it aside and the whole game has changed 112 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: right now, so it's critically important they pass the Save Act, 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: and I hope they do whatever's necessary. I would say, 114 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: even if they go as far as changing the filibuster, 115 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: because as soon as Democrats get in power, they will 116 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: change that. The only reason they didn't a couple of 117 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: years ago is because Cinema and Mansion to Independence, who 118 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: caucuses Democrats and are now no longer in the Senate, 119 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: voted against it. But they'll do it the first chance 120 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: they get. 121 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I keep hearing that, And of course if 122 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: history's any guide. That's certainly what's going to happen, or 123 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: at least is likely going to happen. So as of 124 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: right now, at least Republicans are keeping with traditions sixty 125 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: votes for closure if they did it that way, and 126 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: that would foreclose any additional amendments. In other words, we've 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: discussed the bill, it's in front of us, we are 128 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: voting to advance it. This is what we're voting on. 129 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: We're not going to do any amendments. It's a straight vote. 130 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: Am I right on that? 131 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 2: That is one interpretation of the rules. But there again, 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: this is kind of breaking new ground, and that's one 133 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: of the reasons why some many of these old fuddy 134 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: duddy senators are so uncomfortable with it. 135 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: But if they do this talking standing filibuster, that will 136 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: open it up well without I don't suppose there's any 137 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: argument that would open up to unlimited amendments, meaning they 138 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: have to discuss every amendment or at least vote on 139 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: every amendment that comes up. 140 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: Well, so much of the Senate is proceeds again because 141 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: there are so many time restrictions, So much of what 142 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: is done in the Senate proceeds through uanimous consent, that 143 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: is how And it was really LPJ who is the 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: first to wield the uanimous consent in a new way 145 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: in the Senate, and that's really what governs the modern Senate. 146 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: So if all one hundred senators agreed to say that 147 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: the sky is purple, they could do that in the Senate. 148 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: So there are some potential workarounds to that, but it would, 149 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: I don't want to say break the current Senate, but 150 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: doing things this way would open it up to an 151 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: entirely different way of doing things and moving forward just 152 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: the daily business. So it's kind of a venture into 153 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: the unknown. Brian. 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, going back to the Senate not 155 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: being able to get its work done or we've got 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: more important things to do. That's almost like even a 157 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: laughable suggestion. And I'm sorry to be so jaded and 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: cynical with regard to the Senate's work, but they really 159 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: don't seem all that fired up about doing work when 160 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: they're there. So the idea that they get bogged down 161 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: in this people standing up, and it's not debate, it's 162 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: not advancement of the proposition, it's merely standing up and 163 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: filling time. Most notably reading phone books and reading cookbooks 164 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: and doing stupid things just to keep their mouths flapping 165 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: without even saying anything by way of advancing the debate. 166 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: You're exactly right. And the Senate, it was once called 167 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: the world's greatest legislative body, the world's greatest deliberated body. 168 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 2: It's not any war. I'll give you an examp when 169 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: the record was set for the so called philibuster just 170 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: last year, it was by Corey Booker who spoke on 171 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: the floor for twenty five hours. He wasn't even filibustering anything. 172 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: He wasn't even trying to stop any legislation for moving forward. 173 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: He was just giving a long speech. And now they 174 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: call a long speech a philibuster. But that's indicative of 175 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: the seriousness with which the Senate legislates right now. And 176 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: another point about the calendar. Anytime of the majority leader 177 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: says if there's something that they say, oh, well, yeah, 178 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: we'd like to get to that. There's some business that 179 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: we're going to get to first, but we're going to 180 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: get to that. No, they're just stalling for time because 181 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: they know that the way that the Senate calendar works, 182 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: anything that they push until the end there won't be 183 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: an appetite in the Senate to deal with that because 184 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: of the time, so that there will just be a 185 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: vote for cloture or against cloture to kill it. The 186 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: standing filibuster would be a powerful push back against that 187 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: tool that fun is now using, and that other Majority 188 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: leaders before him have used so effectively by just pushing 189 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: things to the end. If they actually cared about something 190 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: like the Save Act or something that they seditate wanted 191 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: to get past, they'd move it up and actually address 192 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: it and when it comes up and not postponent to 193 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: kill it now. 194 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: Bradley JA, Deputy Politics heator Bright Bart, I realize you 195 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: and I are politically biased. Nobody their cousin the company 196 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: is a shocked anyone. But I look at this issue, 197 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: and let's say they move forward the standing filibuster, and 198 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: they spin their wheels and read their phone books and 199 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: go through all this time, I guess I'm wondering what 200 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: the perception and the reaction of the American people are 201 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: going to be, particularly given, as we point out time 202 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: and time and time again, this is a seventy thirty 203 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue with the vast majority of Americans of 204 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: all political stripes being in favor of the photo ID 205 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: and also being insulted when Chucky Schumer comes out and 206 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: tells people they're too damn stupid to be able to 207 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: get a photo ID. That's a losing argument. So this 208 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: exercise and this stupidity of reading phone books, I guess 209 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just being cautiously or overly optimistic. I can't 210 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: believe it would resonate positively for the Democrats among the 211 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: American people. Your your response to out of your your thoughts, 212 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: Bradley Jay, Well. 213 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. A few poll came out recently with 214 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: eighty three percent of Americans I believe in support of 215 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: voter ID. I mean, it's pretty common sense. If the 216 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: standing filibuster was put into action to pass the Save Act, 217 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: I think most Americans would say. Yet, well that makes 218 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 2: a lot of sense. But here's the thing. The Democrat 219 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: Party the actual individual voters, and this cuts across Democrat demographics. 220 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: We're talking about seventy plus percent of different minority groups 221 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: who support voter ID. However, that is the Democrat voters. 222 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: The Democrat politicians do not support it even though their 223 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: voters do. Now, why would that be, Brian? I think 224 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: that we both know the answer that it's because well, 225 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: they say that this is about voter suppression. It's not 226 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: about vote suppression. It is about it is about voter 227 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: suppression if you mean suppressing illegals from being able to 228 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: vote in American elections. You and I can't vote in 229 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: France's elections or Somalia's elections to they even have elections 230 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: in Somalia. I don't know if they're capable. But this 231 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: is about keep making sure Americans vote. What the Save 232 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: Act does is to register to vote, you have to 233 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: show a passport or some other like a birth certificate 234 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: or something like that, and then going forward you have 235 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: to show a government ID with a photo. That's very yeah, yeah, 236 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: it's it's very very much common sense. Most Americans support 237 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: it that little. The group that doesn't is is on 238 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, and it's Democrat politicians because they know that 239 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: if these illegals, the people voting in our elections who 240 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: are not allowed to people voting in multiple jurisdictions, multiple states, 241 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: if that was done away with, they would lose their power. 242 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: And I can't think of anything more appropriate. And to 243 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: do away with the filibuster then and anything more fitting 244 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: than a vote on the say that that would do 245 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: just so much to actually restore integrity to America's elections, 246 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: or maybe introduce it for the first time. 247 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradley, Jay, you made an excellent distinction between the 248 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Democrats who actually are the ones voting. 249 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: The Democrat part of the ones is scream bloody hell 250 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: about threat to democracy, even though we live in a 251 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: republic constitution of republic, it's a representative form of government. 252 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: And if eighty percent of their own people want this 253 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: and they're saying no, I'm going to shut the government 254 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: down over basically trying to make it easy for illegal 255 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: immigrants to vote, I have a feeling that they are 256 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: a greater threat to the Republic than the Republicans are. There, Bradley, 257 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: that's a. 258 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: Really good point. Yeah, Democrats get a Alburkian when they 259 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: when they talk about this issue, and but you hit 260 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: them in the face with the facts and the polling 261 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: and that their own voters support that, they have a 262 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: hard time, harder time hiding behind them this faux paternalism 263 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: where they can say that, oh, well, this would be 264 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: a violation of the Nineteenth Amendment because of a woman 265 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: has different her married name is different from her from 266 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: her certificate, and and minorities have trouble getting photo ID 267 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: and I mean like it's it's really pathetic. And I 268 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: mean I would be insulted if I was a woman 269 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: of her minority and my Democrat politicians were telling me 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: that I didn't have the wherewithal or the ability to 271 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: do what every other American citizen has no problem doing. 272 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: But that's the party of today. 273 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: It is totally insulting across the board.
