1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the Turtle Senate majority of Leader Mitch McConnell

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: announced that he had the votes to go ahead with

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: Trump's impeachment trial without calling witnesses or hearing any new evidence,

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: despite what the Democrats are demanding. Now, the Turtle said

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: that those issues will be decided after the trial begins,

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: after senators here the stupid, flimsy rot gut case that

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the ultrapartisan Trump hating Democrats in the House throw together

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: in a desperate election year attempt to take Trump out.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: Hours after the Turtle said he had the votes, Speaker

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Poloshi said that she would soon transmit the two articles

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: of impeachment to the Senate once McConnell makes the rules public.

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein told Poloshi to get on the stick to

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: send him over. So it looks like Poloshi is going

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: to have to blink. She loses, the Turtle wins. Now,

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: the outcome of this political theater is known. Senate Democrats

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: will vote to convict Trump, that republic lookings will vote

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: to a quit, and Trump will remain in office stronger

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: than ever. What isn't known is how the fringe cook

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Democrat base is going to react. Will they applaud the

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: losing effort or will they punish their own party for

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: yet another abject failure. Are they tired of losing? Yet?

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: We do know this, Republicans will be super energized going

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: into the November elections. At Democrats, you people better fasten

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: your seatbelts because you are a shrinking minority. Don't doubt me.
