WEBVTT - Sen. Mike Lee's Plan for The SAFE Act 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.520 All right, News, Round Up, Information Overload Hour are toll 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:04.880 free telephone numbers eight hundred and nine four one sean 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.320 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:08.000 All right. 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.760 So, I know many people like myself want the Save 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:16.080 Act to be passed in the US Senate. It's passed 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.560 in the House, and it would become law. It is 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.720 an eighty three seventeen issue in terms of the American people. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.040 Even seventy one percent of Democrats support the idea of 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:33.440 proof of citizenship and voter ID for integrity and elections 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.840 so people can have confidence in results. Democrats the same 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:42.000 people that have defunded the Department of Homeland Security, meaning 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.839 that means FEMA, and that means the Coastguard, and that 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.680 means the Secret Service and obviously ICE and Department of 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.880 Homeland Security and everything in between. Yeah, that party, the 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.320 defund dismantle party, the party of sanctuary cities and states 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.640 and free benefits for people that don't respect our laws and. 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:04.120 Borders. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.360 Yeah, you know, like Chucky Schumer saying on the Save Act, 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.160 you know, Trump things undermining the voters. The only prayer 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.040 Republicans have in the midterms. Okay, No, that's not true. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:15.320 On the Save Act. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.160 Donald Trump has given Republicans in Congress a ridiculous ultimatum. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.720 Help him thoroughly undermine our democracy, or he will bring 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.120 all legislation to a screeching halt. What kind of president 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.720 is This sounds like a pouting second year second grader. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.399 Even though it's clear that the Save Act has little 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.560 chance of becoming law, Donald Trump is still held bent 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.600 on getting Republicans to ram this bill through the Chamber 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.480 because he thinks undermining the vote is the only prayer 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.080 Republicans have in the midterms. Isn't that pathetic? 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.560 Now let me play for you a couple of cluts here. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.920 This is Senator Mike Lee, who will join us in 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.320 a moment pushing the talking filibuster. We've had him and 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.200 Ted Cruz on about this issue to get the Save 0:01:59.240 --> 0:01:59.919 Act passed. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:00.880 Here's what he says. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.320 All right, so we're one step closer now to getting 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.760 the Save America Act on the Senate floor. How exactly 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.720 that's going to happen while we're still working on that. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.440 There's a lot of uncertainty and some concern but we're 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.160 working on it. The important point right now is for 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.359 UD to refocus our energy on making sure we've get 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.160 the best arguments we can possibly put forward on this bill. Now, look, 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.800 I still believe the very best shot we've got at 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.840 doing this is invoking the talking filibuster. Make Democrats stand up, 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.440 get recognized, and speak. If they want to filibuster the bill, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.600 don't give it to them for free. Don't let them 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.560 have the benefits of the filibuster, whether they napping or 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.520 on vacation or whatever else it is that they do. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.040 Make them actually show up and speak. I'm going to 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.240 continue to argue for that, regardless of what centate Republican 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.760 leadership thinks. I'm not going to back away for the factor. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.160 I think that is the best possible chance of passing 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.760 this bill, perhaps the only way. Regardless, we got to 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.600 be prepared for what it is that happens when it 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.959 gets to the floor. So let's continue to advance the 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.720 arguments for the bill itself and for the strategy that 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.640 we think is best. If not us, who if not? 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.440 Now when we've got an eighty five fifteen issue that 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.120 is also critical to preserving the integrity of our elections, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.520 Let's get this done. Don't slow down, Let's redouble our efforts. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.280 This thing is hitting the floor likely in less than 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:25.640 a week. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.800 Let's make it happen now. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.280 Ohio Senator Bertie Moreno says there are three or four 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.880 Republicans who won't vote for the same act. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:34.880 Here's what he said. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.040 Unfortunately, although he's the majority leader, he doesn't have control 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.000 over the entire conference. He can't fire, he didn't hire 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.560 these people. And unfortunately, law I'm just going to be blunt. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.760 There's three or four Republicans that just won't be part 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.120 of the team, and they've row in their own different direction, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.760 and unfortunately leader through it has very little leverage over them. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.080 Now we're working through it. Today. We had a very 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.360 spirited conversation, and I think we're getting closer to having 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.560 people realize how important it is for us to deliver 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.720 a fundamental promise, which is to secure our elections for 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.720 the future. So I think we're going to get there. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.240 I think we're getting there, and I can tell you 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.520 Senator Thune is open to that dialogue. He personally calls 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.400 some of these senators, but it's very very difficult. Well, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.120 you don't have a lot of leverage. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:22.200 All right. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.680 Joining us now is Utah Senator Mike Lee. I had 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.919 the pleasure of seeing him last weekend is in the 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.360 Free State of Florida. I was not in Utah. If 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.720 I was, I'd be a Crown Burger, sir, How are 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.160 you great to see you and your beautiful family. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.440 Thank you, Sean. Yeah, we would have been at Crownburger 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.680 if we were built in Utah. And look forward to 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.800 your next visit to be high state. We'll head to Crownburger. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.440 In the meantime, we are very much looking forward to 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.680 turning to the Stave America Act. We need this, we 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.520 need to cast in to law. 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.159 Souit Okay. So here's where we are. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:05:01.720 John Thune Onsinnews dot Com appeared made the comment, and 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.920 the President himself has called on the Senate to support this. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.799 He said in this interview quote, the votes aren't there, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.279 and that's what Bernie Marino was saying. One to nuke 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.600 the filibuster, and the votes aren't there for a talking filibuster. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.800 It's the reality of where we are now. I'm the 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.960 person who has to deliver sometimes the not so good news. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.440 The math doesn't add up, but those are the facts 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.320 and there's no getting around it. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:29.520 Now. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.880 Apparently there was a conference yesterday and I did ask well, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.640 what did Mike Lee say? And they said you didn't 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.400 really speak up at the conference. Is that true? 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.159 No, it's not true. I asked a couple of questions 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.760 about what the plan was, and I have continued to 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.120 voice my concerns all along about how urgent this is. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.680 Look and it's great that Center Funy's agreed to move 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.359 forward on the Save America Acts and this could happen 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.440 because soon as next week, that's fantastic. How exactly that 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.039 will happen, We're still working on that with a lot 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.680 of details you have to be resolved. And some of 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.279 the quest I asked yesterday in our private conference discussion 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:09.200 were about the implementation of it. The longer that we 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:14.560 keep the debate open and alive before moving to cloture, 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.800 which is the mechanism by which you bring debate to 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.920 a close that takes sixty votes, the more we can 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.800 have this open, robust debate in a way that's not 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.560 just a quick path to a shield vote. I still 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.080 strongly believe that if Democrats want to filibuster the bill, 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.560 we must make them speak. You see the belligerents that 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.599 is coming out of them, that is culminating in things 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.520 like they're shutting down the Department of Homeland Security. We're 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.680 now into our fourth week of the Department of Homeland 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.640 Security shutdown thanks to them feeling involved by office, and so, look, 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.560 it's really important for us to get this done. To 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.240 do that, I think the best way, I think the 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.240 only way is to do it through the talking filibuster. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.400 If he says we don't have the votes to do it, great, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.520 I would love to know who exactly is saying and 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.560 exactly what the reasoning is for why we shouldn't do it. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.240 I have yet to hear a compelling reason why we 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.280 shouldn't other than the conclusive reassertion that we can't because 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.680 we don't have enough support for it. If people feel 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.400 strongly that we shouldn't do it, they should explain why publicly. 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.880 Well, I think a lot of people already have been 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.240 I think there's not a Republican or a Democrat that's 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.960 not been asked the question. I love your idea of 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.760 keeping the vote open. And you and I had a 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.600 private conversation this weekend, and you made a very good point. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.720 And you point into the Civil Rights Act of sixty four, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.320 the Voting Rights Act of sixty five, and you rightly 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.600 pointed out those votes were kept open for months and months, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.920 and public pressure began to build and build and build 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.679 and build and build, which I think is a viable option. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.520 I mean, how do you keep a bill up and 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.600 open for that long period of time? 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.400 You keep the Senate in session, you keep senators who 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.720 are a posted bill, who want the benefits of the filibuster. Historically, 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.840 the benefit of the filibuster included and still entails, the 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.080 ability to delay passage of the bill by debating it, 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.440 but it came at a cost. You had to stand 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.440 and be recognized and you had to speak. In recent decades, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.640 we've gotten soft with the way we implement it, and 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.520 we allow for something that I refer to sometimes as 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.840 the zombie filibuster. You could also call it the knapping filibuster, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.760 the sleeping filibuster, the vacation filibuster, where all you have 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.280 to do is signal that you will vote against cloture 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.920 when the time comes, and then people are just expected 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.320 to say, well, it can't pass, or you move quickly 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.880 to a cloture vote after turning to a bill they 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.440 failed to achieve sixty votes and they say it can't pass. Well, 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.800 have they done that in nineteen sixty four, then the 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.120 Civil Rights Act would not have become law that year. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.319 At the time it was passed by the House representatives 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.360 in March of nineteen sixty four, they had enough votes 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:51.840 in the House to pass it. When it came to 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.720 the Senate, they were thirty two votes shy of cloture. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.800 They sought to close that gap by require ring, filibustering 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.320 senators to speak, and they did this for weeks on end. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.480 After about sixty days of this, those who were doing 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.440 that saw that they were losing so that the bill 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.240 was gaining in popularity, and started negotiating changes that would 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.720 make them able to vote for it, either by saving 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.320 faith or ameliorating some of their concerns. They ended up 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.200 with a modified version of the bill that was able 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.920 to achieve the necessary votes for closure. That's the kind 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.640 of magic that can happen when people are required, through exertion, 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.600 to subject themselves to a process that tends to sharpen 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.720 the mind and hasten agreement. That's what we need here. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.160 I know, let me throw something else by you, because 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.800 I've talked to all sides of this and I just 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.720 want to get your answer on it because I like 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.240 you believe we should keep it open for as long 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.960 as is needed and let the pressure build. I like 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.680 that idea. I like that idea a lot, and I 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.040 think pressure will build. I mean, seventy one percent of Democrats, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.360 for crying out loud support this is one thing. On 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.920 the one side, there are people saying, well, if Democrats 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.120 get control of the floor of the Senate, then and 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.520 they will be able to put a lot of votes 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.679 on record of Republicans that they believe will help them 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.680 in the midterms. That's one argument. I'm just I'm giving 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.720 it to you so you can give me your response. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:18.000 And secondarily that there are Republicans up for reelection from 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.800 the Senate that don't have particularly easy re election races 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.439 and it's going to put them in a tougher spot. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.640 What's your reaction to both. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.160 Okay, that's the point once. Yes, it's true when we 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.680 get into this posture, Democrats could propose all kinds of amendments, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.960 and they could ask us to vote on amendments that 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.559 Republicans may or may not want to vote for. They've 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.320 got two responses to this point. Number one, this is 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.079 what we do if there's a common thing around here. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.760 It goes something like this. If you don't want to 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.720 be a firefighter, if you don't want to fight fighters, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.440 don't become a firefighter. If you don't want to cast 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.199 up votes, don't become a lawmaker. Can we do these 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.120 things all the time? And budget reconciliation, for example, it's 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.880 a routine thing. We have to do this more times 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.439 than I can count. With one big, beautiful bill act, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.760 we still got it done. We just lock arms and 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.000 conclude at the outset. Anything that undermines the bill that 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.040 makes it impossible to pass in the form that the 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:17.520 conferences is willing to accept, we will agree to table, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.760 and if we stand together on that, we can table them. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.400 It happens all the time. Happened a few weeks ago 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.559 when we were passing spending bills. I had some amendments 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.040 that those who really wanted the bill to pass, either 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.080 to make sure they got their earmarks in or otherwise 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.040 just agree to table rather than moving forward. We're able 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.800 to do that. Secondly, there are procedures that the majority 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:40.200 leader can use known as filling the tree, where the 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.480 majority leader can use his unique privileges as majority leader 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.000 to set up amendments so that he can control which 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.160 amendments we vote on and what order and when. As 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.400 to the second point, the second point, my answers relate 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.360 closely to my answers on the first point. Yes, there 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.320 are members of the Senate in both political parties who 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.200 are up for real action. Some of them have tough 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.240 races insofar as Republicans are involved there. First, John, I 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.200 will say nothing more important than securing our elections to 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.760 make sure we can windows and our base wants this. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.800 When else do we find something that unites our base 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.400 and that is like an eighty three seventeen, eighty five 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:22.040 fifteen issue in our favor and that even the majority 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.520 of Democrats nationwide support it. See, it's only the Democrats 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.160 in Congress that are freaked out about this. Why not 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.840 try it? It would actually help, I believe, with those 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:33.840 in tough races. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.560 All right, quick break right back more with Senator Mike 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.559 Lee of Utah on the other side than your calls 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.839 coming up eight hundred nine four one sean if you 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:45.280 want to be a part of the program as we continue, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.040 all right, our final moments. Senator Mike Lee of Utah 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.520 talking about the Save Act and the current status it 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.720 is going to come up for a vote in the Senate. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.320 Where it goes from there. I don't know, neither does 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 the Senator. But we're trying to get more public support 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.400 for it. And look what Democrats are doing. Chuck Schumer 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.760 first calls it Jim Crow two point zero. Now he's 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:11.880 complaining that this Save America Act will will cost, will 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.920 purge millions of voters from the voting roles. Well, that 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.840 means those would be people that are not eligible to vote. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.559 Chuck, right, right, Yeah, we call those non citizens. Non 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:26.400 citizens already forbidden from voting. It's just an existing law 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.800 as interpreted by this rein court has made it really 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.079 impossible to enforce those laws. So this is a way 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.359 that we can enforce them, and we need them enforced. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.120 As to his claims about Jim Crow two point zero 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.439 or about taking that a lot of people who shouldn't 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.000 be taken off the voter rolls off the rules, both 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:52.120 of those accusations are paranoid fantasy, and they are recklessly 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:59.800 and arguably even willfully false. In the first place, if 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.960 Jim Crow two point oh, do you know what else is? Well? 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.720 The super Bowl, the Grammys, the Emmys, and every pharmacy 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.920 in America PSA, every airline, every hospital, every doctor's office, 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.480 and by the way, also the Democratic National Convention. What 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.440 do all those things have in common. Well, you got 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.920 to show who you are and that you have a 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.320 right to be there and do what you're doing when 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.040 you show up. And to do that you have to 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.160 produce some documents. So better be careful how he prows 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.000 around that characterization or elsie, he'll look silly because this 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:30.920 is an absolutely silly art. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.880 Looking silly's his full time job. Let's be honest anyway, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.560 Senator Mike Lee, it was great to see you in 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.800 the Free State of Florida.

Why have we not 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.720 been talking about the Epstein files? Because that's still there. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.600 This is meant to get us so worked up that 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.840 we are unable to see anything happening. 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.360 It is very wrack to do feeling, very wacky dog feeling. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.240 I don't think so.

I think 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.480 this will help the stock market. It'll help the Republicans 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.120 win the midterms, which I think they'll do with with 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.160 your help and all Trump's doing so, I'm very fired 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.360 up about the future.

First, I want to say, God. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.399 The thing about Georgia, you do get cold weather, you 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.359 do get you know, seasons, but they're very short. 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.280 In other words, winters. Winter's over there now, it's done. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.960 Yes, Yes, the air conditioners are already on because the 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.879 pollen's already coming in exactly. 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.720 And by the way, the pollen. I'd used to I 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.159 had a black car in Georgia. I'd get in it 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.359 every day, and every day it was just covered with 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:44.320 yellow dust. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.639 It was terrible. I never had allergies till I went 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:47.200 to Georgia. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.760 I know, me, me either I want to talk about 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.520 the Save Act. I am female. I am not a 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.200 person of color, but I am I have been married, 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.120 I was widowed in twenty nineteen. And I am disabled. 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.919 I'm legally blind. I've never been able to drive. My 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.280 father was legally blind. My sister is legally blind. Both 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:12.800 her children are. Her daughter's husband is almost totally blind, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.240 my partner's totally blind. And somehow we've always been able 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.119 to get IDs that we've had to prove our citizenship. 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.639 That protection is actually in the thirty two page bill, 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.200 just so you know, and that you know, the Democrats 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.960 have just been pushing the big lie that, oh, well, you. 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:33.680 Know, women that. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.320
