1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: with you as always, Senator. It was election day in 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: some parts of America, but they were very significant, especially 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to control in the House and giving 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Trump a little bit of breathing room. 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 2: Well, we had election day in Florida and Wisconsin. A 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: ton of money was spent on it, and the end 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: of the day, the results were three wins and a loss. 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 3: We'll break it down. 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: We'll talk about exactly what happened, the money that was spent, 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: and what the consequences are. Secondly, we have now seen, 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: as of yesterday, the longest filibuster in Senate history, and 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: it was done by Corey Booker, Democrat from New Jersey, 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 2: who spoke for twenty five hours and frustratingly, infuriatingly beat 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: the record of yours truly at over twenty one hours. 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: So we're going to break that down as well, and 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: we're going to compare what core Booker was filibustering over 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: to what I filibustered over in twenty thirteen. 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 3: We'll discuss that as well. 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: Let me tell you quickly about the International Fellowship of 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. I had the honor of speaking at 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: one of their religious gathering meetings where they had religious 23 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: leaders from all over the world come together for a 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: two day conference about protecting and standing with the people 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: in Israel, and I came away more inspired than ever. 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: And the work that they're doing in Israel is truly unbelievable. 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: They are providing life saving care for people, and also 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: they're providing things like bomb shelters. They're providing these armored ambulances, 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: which are saving lies because they're able to go into 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: areas where there a hostile environment and still be able 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: to get the wounded out. That is exactly what they're 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: doing with your donations. It's been more than a year 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: of this war and terror and pain in Israel, and 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: the need for security essentials is what they need right 35 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: now the most. They have to prepare for the next 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: attack wherever it comes from. And Israel, we all know, 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: is surrounded by enemies on all sides. So if you 38 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: want to stand with the people in Israel and you 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: want to help provide those bomb shelters, those armored security vehicles, 40 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: those armored ambulances, firefighting equipment, flack jackets and bulletproof vests, 41 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot of needs. Your donation will help ensure 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: the people of Israel are safe and secure for the 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: days to come, as threads of terrorism remain imminent all 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: around them.

I got a 52 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: great text message from someone today and it said, what 53 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: the hell did Ted Cruz do to his beard? They 54 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: didn't remember that it was April Fool's Day and you 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: had a brilliant tweet that you put out with some 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: nice chops like you sawed off a lot of your beard. 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: Well I did. 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: I had had some fun with with with April Fools, 59 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: and so I tweeted today a very simple tweet that 60 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: said Washington, DC can be a hairy place. But this 61 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: morning's committee hearing reminded me just how important it is 62 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: to cut waste, shave down our debt and trim down 63 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: the size of our government. And then it was a 64 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: picture of my face photoshopped. So the beard was magically gone, 65 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: and instead I had a big ol' honk and el 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: Chapo mustache, and I got to say, look, look, look 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: as a Cuban American, I was pretty proud of the 68 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: l Chappa mustache. 69 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: I mean it kind of. 70 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: It was believable. It was believable because my phone blew up, 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: people saying did he do this? When did he do this? 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Why did he lose a beat? What happened? He lose 73 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: his bracket? 74 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: And I just. 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Kept responding with April one, April one, like get there faster, guys. 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: Everybody apparently thought your bracket is a basketball guy sucked 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: and it costs to your beard. 78 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: It was, you know, I don't know. I just might 79 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: do it tomorrow though, you never know. But it reminds 80 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: me of when I first grew the beard, which was 81 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: which was back I think twenty eighteen. You know, I 82 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: grew the beard actually just for the hell of it. 83 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: It was over Thanksgiving and on the holidays. I would 84 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: never shave. That's something for years, would ever do. And 85 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: I just came back from Thanksgiving and Monday morning, came 86 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: into work in the Senate and just hadn't shaved and 87 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: actually by my top political guy who you know very well, 88 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: sent me this email that said worst decision ever. 89 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: And that really pissed me off. 90 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, screw you, I'm going to keep 91 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: it and uh and I have, although I will say 92 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: it was you're and my friend Betty Johnson came and 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 2: wanted to record a video. 94 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 3: Asked if I would do an instructional video. 95 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: On how to grow I remember this, yeah, and I 96 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 2: said sure, I said, come on in coming into my office, 97 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: I sat at my desk. I said, all right, start 98 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: start recording. And I said, everyone, this is an instructional 99 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: video on how to grow a beard. And I reached 100 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: in a drawer of my desk and I pulled out 101 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: a razor and I said, this is a razor. 102 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 3: Don't use it. And that was the end of the video. 103 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that simple. Well, I got in on 104 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: the action because people laugh. They were like, how often 105 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: do you and Cinder Cruz talk? And I'm like, during 106 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: the day, he's pretty busy. We'll exchange of text here 107 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: and there. But there's a there's a long delay when 108 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: you're working. And so someone sent me, you know, your tweet. 109 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm laughing, I'm looking at it. And then I said, 110 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: all right, I got a photoshop this. So we took 111 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: your beard, threw it on my new headshot, and then 112 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: I put out a tweet so I'll keep the salt 113 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: and pepper alive for you. That also went viral. It 114 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: was a fun day to mess with people, all right. 115 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: But let's be clear. You did not take my beard 116 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: and put it on you. You used a I to put 117 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: a salt and pepper beard on you. Because the beard 118 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: you put had way more salt than pepper. No, no, no, 119 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: way more salt than pepper. 120 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: You notice that, Because that was my little dig I 121 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: was like, is he going to write back? That's too 122 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: much gray. I was kind of wondering what I could 123 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: get away with there. So I was told, and I'm 124 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: quoting now Ferguson, if this is real, shave it off. 125 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: Shave it off right now. You cannot handle the beard. 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: So the people have spoken. I don't think I'm growing 127 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: a beard anytime soon, that I can promise you. 128 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: All right, So let's you know what you could carry 129 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: off those asult patch I'm for a little soul patch on, 130 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson. 131 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that in a rattail? Yeah, that's the 132 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: end of my TV career, that's for sure. I did. 133 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: By the way, you remember No Shave November? Do you 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: remember that? I do? Yeah. So when that gosh it 135 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: was I mean years ago, right when that thing happened 136 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: and everybody was doing and I was like, I'll do it. Fine. 137 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: So I at the time, I was fighting the comedies 138 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: at CNN, and towards the end of November, I got 139 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: a text I think it was from Aaron Burnett's executive producer, 140 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: and I was supposed to be on her show and 141 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: they said, we also are inquiring is the beard gone yet? 142 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Question Mark? So it it. It was pretty patchy. I 143 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: couldn't sell it. It just didn't work. I'll have to 144 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: I'll have to unearth that picture and I'll throw it 145 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: up on X for people to see. But it was 146 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: pretty real. 147 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: Look but Ben, once you hit puberty, you'll do just 148 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: fight on that front. 149 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: Next time. I'm going all white Santa Beard when I 150 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: copy years. That's gonna be my revenge here. 151 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: All right. Sorry, let's talk elections. 152 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Election. We had election Day in America. And there's there's 153 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: two headlines here. If you watched CNN tonight and I 154 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: was watching the reaction, they're saying it's a total disaster 155 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: for Republicans. They spent all this money on the Supreme 156 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Court election in Wisconsin. Trump was involved, Musk was involved, 157 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: and this is just a referendum on Donald Trump after 158 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: he's been in office for ninety days. That that is 159 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: their narrative. 160 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: So CNN doesn't like Trump. 161 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's exactly I. 162 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 3: Really I had not picked up on that. 163 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: So that's that that you're really good at reading between 164 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: the lines, and and you know, both of their viewers 165 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: I think probably picked up on that as well. Look, 166 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: no doubt the results tonight were mixed. You and I 167 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: are recording this at is twelve fifteen in the morning, 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: so so the results are still coming in and right now. 169 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: There were two congressional seats on the ballot in Florida, 170 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: and one was Mike Waltz's seat, who is now the 171 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: National Secure the advisor for President Trump. The other is 172 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: Matt Matt Gates's seat, who stepped down when Trump named 173 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: him as Attorney General and then ultimately withdrew the nomination 174 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: and both of them were incredibly tightly contested, and and 175 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: in fact, the Democrats spent like crazy, and the result 176 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: the Republicans won both of them. Now, they were pretty 177 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: solidly Republican seats. But at the end of the day, 178 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: Jimmy Patronis the Republican won with fifty six point nine 179 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: percent to forty two point three percent, So that was 180 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: a fifteen point victory. And Randy Fine, the Republican won 181 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: with fifty six point seven percent to forty two point 182 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: seven percent. And and so both of those we were 183 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: sizeable victories. If you look at Randy Fine, he was 184 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: literally outspent ten to one. 185 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: I mean it was massive. 186 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: I've been in races where I've been out spent three 187 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: to one, but ten to one is a massive funding disadvantage. 188 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 3: And and and so that victory is really significant. 189 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: So you look at this, and let's talk about how 190 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: important this was for Donald Trump's America's First agenda. There 191 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: was a a razor thin majority in the House, and 192 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: this gives a little bit of breathing room now for 193 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's agenda to have a chance to make it through. 194 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: It's also gonna help Mike Johnson, I think significantly, not 195 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: have to capitulate and pander to any Yahoo that wakes 196 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: up and decides either A want to be famous or 197 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: B want to throw something in with pork, or c 198 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: just want to be a pain in his able ass. 199 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: Now it's it gives him the ability, I think to 200 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: actually be a better speaker. Is that you agree with that? 201 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think that's right. 202 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: Look what we have had an excruciatingly small majority UH 203 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: in the House. And and to be clear that that 204 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: that is why President Trump withdrew the nomination of at 205 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: least Stephonic to be h u N Ambassador because she 206 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: had been nominated to be UN ambassador. But UH, if 207 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: she was confirmed and she resigned, there'd be a vacancy 208 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: in the New York Governor Kathy Hokeel was was threatening 209 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: to basically play games and keep the seat vacant for 210 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: the rest of the year, which would which which would 211 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: have shrunk the majority by one uh. And and listen, 212 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: special elections are always dangerous and always risky, Strange outcomes 213 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: can occur. And and so the President at the end 214 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 2: of the day, I think quite rightly decided that that 215 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: risking the very narrow House majority was was was dangerous 216 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 2: and and to a Lease's credit, I think at least 217 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: would have done a terrific job as you had, ambassador. 218 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: But but but I appreciate her her putting, putting the 219 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 2: interest of the country ahead, and and and saying she 220 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: was not going to risk the House majority. But the 221 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: result as of as of today is the Republican majority 222 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 2: has two more Republicans. 223 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: In the House. 224 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: And that will help, That will give the speed or 225 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: some breathing room that that will that will help us 226 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: extend the the Trump tax cuts, that will help us 227 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: secure the border, that will help us win on victory 228 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: after victory. So that was a very good result. And Florida, 229 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: had those been losses, had even one of those been losses, 230 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: it would have been it would have been a serious, 231 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: uh serious setback. 232 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: And and the media would have gone crazy. 233 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: Well, and that goes back to the money game what 234 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier. Democrats just decided we're going to just 235 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: spend virtually every dollar we can get our hands on 236 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: down there, throw jell at a wall, hope that something sticks, 237 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: and maybe we flip with these seats, because like you said, 238 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: if that happened, it could have been catastrophic for Donald 239 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: Trump's agenda. 240 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And look, that can make special elections very dangerous 241 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: because often the party out of power is particularly energized. 242 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: They're angry, their their their base is agitated, and and 243 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: and so that they can be willing to pour a 244 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: whole bunch of money into it. And and that is 245 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: certainly happening now Wisconsin. Look, Wisconsin is a much more 246 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: purple to blue state than Florida. Florida's gotten quite read Wisconsin, 247 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: there were there were two major elections on the ballot, 248 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: and and and we split. We won one and we 249 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: lost one. So the one we won was was a 250 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: constitutional amendment to put into the Wisconsin state constitution a 251 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: voter ID requirement, requirement that you show photo ID to vote. Now, 252 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: that is existing Wisconsin law, but that but that's just 253 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: a statute. In other words, the next legislature could change 254 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: that could get rid of voter ID. And that remains 255 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: a major priority for Democrats across the country. In fact, 256 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: in California, they've gone so far as to make it 257 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: illegal to ask for Photo I D for voting, So 258 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: they're they're actively and openly encouraging voter fraud in California 259 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: by doing so. Well Wisconsin, the voters had on the ballot, 260 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: should photo I D for voting be in the Wisconsin Constitution, 261 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: and that one overwhelmingly. The vote was sixty three point 262 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: two percent to thirty six point eight percent. So it 263 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: was a massive, almost a thirty point victory. That's great. 264 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: That is a terrific victory for election integrity. Wisconsin is 265 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: a swing state and so voter fraud is is particularly 266 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: dangerous in a swing state like Wisconsin. 267 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: And so that's a great victory. 268 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: So those are three big victories, extremely important, especially like 269 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: you said, on the voter id that's going to give 270 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: a signal to other states move forward on this. The 271 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: American people want it, and we'll probably see a trend 272 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: come out of that. That's good news obviously. So let's 273 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: talk about the loss and the headline and all the 274 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: media is liberal judge wins in Wisconsin. That's what they 275 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: want you to know. They don't want you to know 276 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: the GOP swept Florida. They don't want you to know 277 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: that voter ideal law became a thing in a swing state. 278 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: They're all obsessed now with quote liberal judge winning a 279 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: lot of money in this race. President was involved, Musk 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: was involved, so they're saying this is a referendum on 281 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I think that's obviously going way too far. 282 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: This is special election time. Everybody dialed down the crazy yet. 283 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: Now, to be clear, on the photo ID law in Wisconsin, 284 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: it wasn't that it became the law, because it is 285 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: current law right now. What happened is it got added 286 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: to the constitution. So now it is much much harder 287 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: for Democrats to take it away. It's enshrined in the 288 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: state constitution and so it would take a constitutional amendment 289 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: to get rid of it. And so that's that's a 290 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 2: major victory. But the loss, the loss was a real one, 291 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: and it was an election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. 292 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,479 Speaker 2: It was election between Susan Crawford, who is a liberal Democrat, 293 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: and Brad Schimmel, who is a conservative. And the result 294 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: at the end of the day was that was that 295 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: the liberal won fifty four point four percent to forty 296 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: five point six percent. So that was a nine point victory. 297 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: That was a sizeable victory and the result of it 298 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: is control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So the court 299 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: was in the ballance. This was the swing seat. And 300 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: I got to tell you, the money that was spent 301 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: in this race. How much do you think was spent 302 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. 303 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess tens of millions of dollars, knowing 304 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: how important this was, at minimum. 305 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: Ninety eight million dollars ninety eight million dollars on a 306 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: judicial race in Wisconsin. Yahoo News is reporting that, according 307 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: to the Brennan Center for Justice, more than fifty three 308 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: point three million dollars was spent by Shimmel and his backers, 309 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: including twelve point two million from Elon Musk's America Pack 310 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: and Crawford's campaign and those backing her have spent an 311 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: estimated forty five point one million dollars, so all told, 312 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: ninety eight million dollars. That is, to the best of 313 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: my knowledge. In fact, I was going to say that 314 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: that's the most it's ever been spent on a judicial race, 315 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: but if I read the next sentence on the article, 316 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: it would say the spending has made the Wisconsin race 317 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: the most expensive US judicial in US judicial history, which 318 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: it clearly is. I don't know what's second, but it 319 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 2: ain't even close. That's a massive amount of money. And listen, 320 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: this is an unfortunate loss. There's going to be some 321 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: bad rulings in Wisconsin, including potentially redistricting rulings that have 322 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: political consequences in Wisconsin, and so it is unfortunate. I'm 323 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: grateful Elon leaned in hard on this, but it's worth 324 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: remembering Wisconsin is a purple state, and on election day 325 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: in twenty four we had mixed outcomes in Wisconsin. Donald 326 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: Trump won Wisconsin barely, but he won, but we lost 327 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 2: the Senate seat. Tammy Baldwin, the incumbent Democrat Eric Hovedy, 328 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 2: was challenging and he lost. Unfortunately, we didn't up the 329 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: Senate seat. And right now, Wisconsin is one of the 330 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: relatively few states that has a Republican senator and a 331 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: Democrat senator. 332 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 3: So it's split. 333 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: You've got Ron Johnson, a Republican, a conservative, a good 334 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 2: friend of mine, and you've got Tammy Baldwin, who is 335 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 2: a liberal Democrat. And so in a purple state and 336 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: a state that is evenly divided, you would expect that 337 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 2: we win some races and we lose some races, and 338 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: so all told, I'm really happy about the three victories, 339 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: but I would have been happier with four victories. 340 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: Let me tell you a quick moment and tell you 341 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: about Patriot Mobile.

All right, Senator, So let's move to 376 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: another very interesting moment. One of your colleagues in the 377 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: Senate decided he was going to take away your record 378 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: on a filibuster. You guys were very different and why 379 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: you were filibustering. But he did beat your record today 380 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: and you even posted something that was hilarious online as well. Well. 381 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: Corey Booker, Democrat from New Jersey, has now set the 382 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: record for the longest speech in history on the Senate floor. 383 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: And he spoke for twenty five hours and four minutes. 384 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: And so it was, it was incredibly long. It it surpassed. 385 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: The record had been held by by strom Thurman, who 386 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: spoke for twenty four hours and eighteen minutes in nineteen 387 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: fifty seven. And he was uh, he was filibustering strom 388 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 2: Thurman was filibustering the nineteen fifty seven Civil Rights Act. 389 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: And that that had been been the record until until 390 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: last night, when when Corey Booker broke it. 391 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 3: Now fourth all time, it is yours, truly. 392 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: I used to be third all time, but but Corey 393 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: knocked me down, and and so so my record in 394 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, I spoke on the Senate floor for twenty 395 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: one hours and nineteen minutes. 396 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: Uh and and so Corey, Corey just beat me. 397 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 2: I will I will say I tweeted out right before 398 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: he broke my record, And so I took to Twitter 399 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 2: and tweeted out, As Corey Booker approaches my twenty one 400 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: hour filibuster record, I'm contemplating pulling the fire alarm hat 401 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: tip Jamal Bowman, and I sent out a picture of 402 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: Jamal and but Bowman, the Democrat congressman pulling the fire 403 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: alarm in. 404 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: The Capitol to avoid a vote. 405 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: And I will say that that that that tweet went viral, 406 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: and in fact, Corey ended up at the end of 407 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 2: his his twenty five hour filibuster reading that tweet on 408 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: the Senate floor, which which was. 409 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 3: Which I enjoyed it. 410 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: I actually like Corey and he and I are friends, 411 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 2: and so I'm glad he read it. And I will 412 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: say in my twenty thirteen filibuster, I read a number 413 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: of tweets on the Senate floor, and I believe that 414 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: was the first time in history a tweet had ever 415 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 2: been read on the Senate floor, and I read a 416 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: whole bunch of them. Now, there is a significant difference 417 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: between what what what I was filibustering over and what 418 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: Corey Booker was philibustering over. What I was philibustering over 419 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: was Obamacare. And I was doing so because it was 420 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: right when Obamacare was going into effect, and I was 421 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: trying to stop it from going into effect because the 422 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: American people it was having the effect of driving up 423 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: premiums dramatically reducing choices. Barack Obama famously said, if you 424 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 2: like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, and millions 425 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 2: of Americans discovered that was not the case, that was 426 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 2: a lie. In fact, PolitiFact named Barack Obama's if you 427 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, the lie 428 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: of the year. And for them to admit a Democrat 429 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: is lying is really quite remarkable, because PolitiFact lies for 430 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: a living. And so that filibuster, when I did it 431 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen, I was a brand new baby freshman, 432 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: and it was the theme of the filibuster was make 433 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: DC listen. 434 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: And I will tell you it had. 435 00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: It had a significant effect, and in fact, it energized 436 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: people across the country. And I'll point to what the 437 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: effect was in twenty fourteen. The next year, we had 438 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: an election and it was a tsunami election. Republicans ended 439 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: up winning nine Senate seats, we retired Harry Reid as 440 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 2: majority leader, and we ended up winning the biggest majority 441 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: in the House of Representative since nineteen twenty eight. And 442 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: if you look at exit polling in that twenty fourteen election, 443 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: the number one issue in the country, according to the 444 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 2: voters that were turning out in massive numbers, was Obamacare, 445 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: and they were saying, finally, finally, you're fighting. Finally, Republicans 446 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 2: are not rolling over and so that had I think 447 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: a very significant effect on election day and helped win 448 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 2: back both the Senate and House for Republicans. I don't 449 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: think Corey Bookers is going to have that same effect. 450 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: And in fact, listen, I don't know how many people 451 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: watched it. I suspect that CNN and MSNBC was probably 452 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 2: gushing about it, but I'll confess I didn't turn on 453 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 2: see at aner MSNBC, so I. 454 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: Don't know one where or the other. 455 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: I don't particularly care the the the seven Rabbid partisans 456 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: who watched those networks. 457 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 3: Uh, probably were quite happy with it. 458 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, look, what was 459 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 2: Corey Booker talking about? As best I can tell, it 460 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: was I hate Donald Trump. I'm a Democrat. Trump bad, 461 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: Orange Man bad. I'm mad at the voters. Why did 462 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: the voters elect Trump? Whye did the voters elector Republican Senate? 463 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: Why did the voters elected Republican House? Gosh, I'm mad 464 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: at the voters. Gosh, I hate Trump. I'm not sure 465 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 2: there's anything new there. I'm not sure was there a 466 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 2: person in America who was confused yesterday and didn't know 467 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: that that that that saidate Democrats hate Donald Trump, like like, 468 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: was there any new information in it? And and and 469 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 2: and so I've got to say I'm skeptical, uh, that 470 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: that it's going to have a meaningful impact. And I'll 471 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: point out it's not just me who says said that. 472 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: Take a listen to what Joe Biden's communications director, uh 473 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 2: Kate Bettingfield said about Corey booker speech. 474 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 4: The Democratic base and Democratic donors are looking for signs 475 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 4: of life, and so I think what Senator Booker is 476 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 4: giving them, here are some signs of life. Is it 477 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 4: going to have a tangible impact on business? And the 478 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 4: have a tangible impact on Booker. But if he won't 479 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 4: have a tangible impact on business in Washington. 480 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's CNN saying it, Senator. And look it 481 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: was they change. 482 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: And that's Biden's communications director. 483 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: It's Biden's communication director, amazingly enough. And so so look, Corey, 484 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 2: that's that that That's fine. 485 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 3: Now now I will tell you. 486 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: So it was funny as Booker was giving his his filibuster, 487 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: reporters were all rotting up to be and then they 488 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: all knew that that that he was he was aiming 489 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: to beat my record. So they were asking me about it, 490 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: and they said, did you have any advice? 491 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: And I will. 492 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: I will admit Corey didn't ask me for any advice. 493 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: So now I did not give him any advice on this, 494 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: but I did share a story. So when I did 495 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: the filibuster in twenty thirteen, I had gotten some advice 496 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,479 Speaker 2: from Rand Paul. So Rand Paul had done a thirteen 497 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: hour filibuster and I was planning to do mine, and 498 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: and Rand I asked him, Hey, Rand, you got any 499 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: advice because he'd just done thirteen hours, and he said, yeah, 500 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: two things. He said, Number one, wear comfortable shoes, because 501 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: he said, your feet and your legs will be killing you. 502 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: And I will confess I as you know, every day 503 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: in the Senate, I wear black cowboy boots. The boots 504 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: I wear alligator boots and they have the Senate seal 505 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: on the front and on the back of it they 506 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: have the come and Take It flag. And so that's 507 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: that's my standard foot wear in the Senate. But for 508 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 2: the filibuster, I went to the store and I bought 509 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: some some black tennis shoes and in the middle of 510 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 2: the filibuster, at like two or three in the morning, 511 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 2: I confess to the people of Texas. I said, look, 512 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: I have to I just have to apologize to the 513 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: people of Texas. I'm sorry I didn't have the courage 514 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: of my convictions to wear my boots. I weened out 515 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: and got black tennis shoes. But but I was planning 516 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 2: on standing here for a really long time, and so 517 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: I will admit the tennis shoes are are are are 518 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: more comfortable for the marathon time. The second bit of 519 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: advice ran game. 520 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: I got to ask you, Yeah, I got to ask 521 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: you though, when you were picking out the tennis shoes. 522 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: Did you buy brand new or did you wear them 523 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: a little bit beforehand? 524 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? 525 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 2: I didn't break them in and they were fine, and 526 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever worn them since then. Like 527 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: I literally they wore them for the filibuster and that 528 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: was it. But but fortunately, even though they were new, 529 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: they were they were pretty comfortable. They were not bad 530 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: at all. The second bit of advice Rand gave me 531 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: was was, if anything even more important. He said, drink 532 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: very little water. And in fact, Rand said when he 533 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: ended at thirteen hours, he said, my legs didn't take me. 534 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: It didn't make me give in my bladder did And 535 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: and the most common question that that that that I 536 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 2: would get about the filibuster is, okay, what what do 537 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: you do about going to the bathroom? And and the 538 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: real simple answer is you don't. So the rules of 539 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: a filibuster, uh, you have to stand, you cannot sit, 540 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: and you have to stay on the Senate floor. If 541 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: if you sit or if you leave the Senate floor, 542 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: you relinquish the floor, and and and so, and that's 543 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 2: why that's why comfortable shoes matter, because you're not allowed 544 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 2: you're technically not even allowed to lean on the desk, 545 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 2: although that that rule is not not heavily enforced. 546 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 3: You you can lean a little bit, but you can't. Uh. 547 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 3: But but you can't can't sit. 548 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: And and legend has it that during strong thermons uh filibuster, 549 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: that that that he had an aid hold a bucket 550 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 2: in in in in the Senate cloak room, and and 551 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 2: and and he he took a leak while filibustering while 552 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 2: standing on the Senate floor. I figured, in the in 553 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: the era of c Span that probably wasn't the best idea. 554 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: So I was not going to do that. 555 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 2: And so for the entire course of twenty one plus hours, 556 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: I drank one tiny little glass of water and that's all. 557 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: I basically would take a little sip just to just 558 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 2: to moisten my throat. And I got to say, look, 559 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 2: I've never gone twenty one hours without going to the bathroom. 560 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: And and you know, I discovered a very simple principle, 561 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: which is nothing in, nothing out. And so it was 562 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: it was fine, But that was excellent advice. 563 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: When does your mind start to wander? I mean, at 564 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: what point do you feel like you're getting a little 565 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: bit you know, delusion alway is the best word I 566 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: can use. There's got to be a certain point where 567 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: you're sitting there going you know, it's like when you 568 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: do an all nighter in college, you kind of slap 569 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: yourself on the face. You're like, Carl, I got to 570 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: wake up, walk around the room, and sit back down. 571 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: When does that fatigue hit? 572 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I mean it was Look, 573 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: it was energized. And I was I was telling us 574 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: a story. I was talking about the very real people 575 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: being harmed by Obamacare, and I was telling people's stories, 576 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: and I was laying out facts and figures and data 577 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: and and and so I had a lot of material 578 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: that I was presenting. As I mentioned, I read tweets 579 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 2: about the harms from Obamacare, and we started the hashtag 580 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: make DC Listen, which which went viral during the filibuster. 581 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: And and and. 582 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 2: So it really was I look just like we're doing 583 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: in in this podcast. It was an effort to communicate 584 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: with the American people. But it now we also had 585 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 2: some fun. So the rules do allow you to yield 586 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: to another senator for a question, and and and so 587 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: you can yield for a question without yielding the floor. 588 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: And so what happens during a long filibuster is that 589 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: people will come and support you. And so I had 590 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: multiple senators come and support me, and they would Mike 591 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: Lee did did the most heroic. He was there for 592 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: a great deal of the filibuster. And and what what 593 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: you could do is he would stand as I'm up there, 594 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: and he'd say, with the senator, yield for a question, 595 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 2: and I'd respond, I'm happy to yield for a question 596 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,479 Speaker 2: without yielding the floor. And then Mike could ask a 597 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: thirty or forty five minute question and and and you know, 598 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: basically give a speech and then at the end of 599 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: it say don't you agree, And so it would let 600 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: you rest your voice, because if you speak, you know, 601 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: I know you do radio for a living, but if 602 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: you speak twenty one hours without pausing, your your vocal 603 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: cords will be pretty ragged. 604 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 3: So it was helpful to have folks go and spell 605 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 3: you for a little while. 606 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: And I will say, you know, at like three and 607 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: four in the morning, Mike was there, and he gets 608 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 2: really punch struck when he's tired, and so we were. 609 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: He was reading like like bad jokes and seventies rock lyrics. 610 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: And look, one of the things people remember from my 611 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: filibuster it is that I read Green Eggs and Ham 612 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: on the setate floor. Now what a lot of people 613 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: don't know is is why I read green eggs and Ham. 614 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: Do you know why your daughter's yes? So look at 615 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 2: the time, my girls were worth three and five and 616 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,959 Speaker 2: and when I was home every night, I would read 617 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: them a bedtime story, which which you know, I'm sure 618 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: you you do with your kids too, but that that 619 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 2: that was my practice when they were little, and and 620 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: so it was their bedtime, and so we called home 621 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: and told them turn on the TV. And so I 622 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: read green Eggs and Ham and and there is a 623 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: picture in my office which you've seen, and it's both girls. 624 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 2: They're in matching pajamas. And Catherine was three years old 625 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: and she has her little hand on the TV and 626 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: and and she she's touching it and and and she's 627 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 2: just sort of watching in wonderment. Her daddy read her 628 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: Green Eggs and ham on TV. And and Caroline, who 629 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: was five, is just crack king up, laughing. I love 630 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: the picture because she's just like laughing hysterically. And look, 631 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: Caroline can can be cynical with her dad. Not a 632 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: whole lot I've done in the Senate as impressed her. 633 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: And she she when I came home, she was five, 634 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 2: and she had her arms crossed and she. 635 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 3: Was like, okay, Dad, that was pretty cool. 636 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: And I was like, all right, I was psyched that 637 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: that that that the Bedtime Story had earned some brownie 638 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: points with the girls at home. 639 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: All right. So final question on this, and this is 640 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: I'm sure something that was going through your mind, Corey 641 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: Booker's mind. When did you know you were just gonna 642 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: end it? How do you decide Are you looking at 643 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: a certain time in your mind where you're like, I 644 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: gotta make it to X and then as soon as 645 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: it hits I'm done. What is the process of that 646 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: as well? 647 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 3: Well? 648 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 2: Actually I could have gone longer. And the problem was, 649 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 2: and in order to do the filibuster, A pure philibus 650 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: is when the Senate floor is wide open and you 651 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 2: take control of the filibuster, and it is the prerogative 652 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: of every senator have unlimited debate, and so if you 653 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 2: take control of the floor, you can hold it for 654 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: as long as you are able to hold it. When 655 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: I started the filibuster, unfortunately Harry Reid, then the majority 656 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 2: leader the Democrats were in charge, had locked in a 657 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 2: unanimous consent resolution that the next day there was a 658 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: vote scheduled I think at noon, and it was locked in, 659 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 2: which meant I had an endpoint.
