Democrats like Begala and others 84 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,160 are bitching and moaning to high hell because the troops 85 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,319 that have been and are being deployed, being deployed into 86 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:12,399 harm's way to risk their lives for this nation, are 87 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,319 being fed ribbi. They're getting special meals, ribbi, lobster and 88 00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:21,040 all sorts of other things. And these troops love it. 89 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,079 We see the videos of them in there so appreciative 90 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,600 of it. I'm so mad, I almost got tears coming 91 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 out of my eyes. I'm seriously about to lose my 92 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,519 mind over this. And Democrats are complaining because we are 93 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,240 feeding our troops. 94 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:41,199 Speaker 7: Well, well, you know, James, the keyword in there was September, 95 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,519 and I would love to see the parade of horribles 96 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:50,600 that it's called end of year spending that these Democrats 97 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,199 have spent in the past when these federal agencies in 98 00:05:56,079 --> 00:06:00,360 the Department of War is one, it has have this 99 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:05,680 really retarded policy where you have to spend all of 100 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,879 the money before the fiscal year runs out or you're 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,959 going to get your budget cut because you obviously didn't 102 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,439 need that money. So I'm sure they did all kinds 103 00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:17,879 of drag queen happy hours around the country when they 104 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:22,920 were in charge. But Pete Hegseth chose to spend money 105 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,639 on our troops getting to have some fine meals because 106 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,360 they're out fighting in war zones and losing their lives, 107 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,199 mind you, for this country. So I have no problem 108 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:39,920 with him spending money to feed our troops to make 109 00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:43,639 them feel like they're actually appreciated and have a little 110 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:47,759 piece of home and they're not eating canned spam out 111 00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,519 in a field somewhere where you know, they're away from 112 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:52,519 their families and friends. 113 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 9: I have no problem with it. 114 00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm telling you this has made me so angry. 115 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,560 I can't believe it. Yes, these people would just stand 116 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,720 and try to ridicule the idea and act in disputa. 117 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,160 And by the way, in all fairness, Pete Hegksas wasn't 118 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,279 the first to do this. Joe Biden did it. Every 119 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,480 American president and every administration has on special occasions, especially 120 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,759 when they're being deployed, especially when they're about or could 121 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:30,639 be deployed, making sure that our troops get fed, get 122 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,920 treated special, for God's sakes, they're getting ready to go 123 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,720 off the war. 124 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,439 Speaker 7: They go for entire stretches of time where they eat 125 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,360 meals ready to eat. And I'm telling you, I, as 126 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:46,319 a former member of the military, I have opened MREs 127 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,160 that were green on the inside.

So I you know, when they're not out 130 00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,480 in the middle of nowhere eating out of bags that 131 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,800 they have to open with their with their knife, that 132 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:13,360 they're they're just terrible MRIs.

They load what did Bill 135 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:26,040 Clinton say he loads the military. Well, you know, we don't. 136 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,399 We love them, we appreciate it, we treat them the 137 00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:29,920 right way. 138 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:31,639 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people, there are a lot 139 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720 of people that are hearing that for the first time 140 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:36,399 and don't believe that a president of the United State 141 00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,399 that was doing the first that was that came out 142 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:44,399 during his campaign for the presidency and they found the 143 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,679 quote of Bill Clinton saying I loathe the military. 144 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 7: Yes, it was in something that he wrote, and they 145 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,840 could not refute it. 146 00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, how they feel? 147 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,519 Speaker 7: So there you are, all. 148 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: Right, let's talk abouton Collins.

It 160 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,120 is a package of common sense policies, the kind of 161 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,279 common sense policies that should get an automatic yes vote 162 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:53,440 from literally every member of this body. At the core 163 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,399 of the Save America Act is the requirement that individuals 164 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,720 provide proof of citizenship to register to vote and then 165 00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:02,559 show a ID when they go to the polls. In 166 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,559 other words, it would require Americans to demonstrate that they're 167 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,240 eligible to vote and that they are who they say 168 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,799 when they go to do so, not to keep using the. 169 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: You have okay, thanks, I've had enough, all right. Earlier 170 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,480 this week he said, we don't have the VOTs. We 171 00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:27,519 don't have the votes for, we don't have devotes to 172 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,200 do a talking Philip buster, and we don't have the 173 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:32,879 votes to get rid of the Philip Buster. So I'm sorry. 174 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,360 I have to be the bearer of bad news. It's 175 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,240 up to me to explain to all your stupid people 176 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,960 out there the math. The math is that we don't 177 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,600 have to vote, and we can't try. We don't even 178 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:45,559 want to try to get the vote. We don't even 179 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,279 want to try to put Democrats in the position because 180 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,759 and they said this, Connie, they said they did not 181 00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:57,879 want to have senators like Susan Collins forced to take 182 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,919 difficult votes when she's so vulnerable. And that's the one 183 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,279 of the reasons that they don't want to have this 184 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,840 extended talking fellowbuster because it's never been proven to work 185 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,279 in anything. It's never been proven to work, and it 186 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,879 would put Susan College and did in a really bad 187 00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:16,759 position of having to having to when they start putting 188 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:23,399 one amendments, they could even barish Susan Collins well that. 189 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 7: It hasn't worked, that it's never worked as a lie 190 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,799 of the nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Sie, they had 191 00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,919 a soft forty when they went into that. When they 192 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,159 put that bill on the floor, they barely had forty 193 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,399 people who supported it, and they put it on the 194 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,519 floor and debated it and debated it and it lasted 195 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,759 for two months, James two months that Republicans fought to 196 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,559 get that bill passed to give equal rights to voting 197 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:55,440 that the Democrats of the South didn't want at the time, 198 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,080 and it actually they actually got enough votes at a 199 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:01,879 higher level for cloture. 200 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 9: They had a sixty seven votes per cloture. 201 00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 7: They had seventy one votes vote to pass the Civil 202 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:12,919 Rights Act. Because the more they made Democrats defend black 203 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,279 people shouldn't have the right to vote, they shouldn't have 204 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,000 the protections of the vote. And now the same thing 205 00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:23,360 they're fighting that American citizens should not have their vote protected, 206 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,240 they should not have their vote diluted by people who 207 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,960 are not legally allowed to vote. And they don't want 208 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,480 any mechanisms put into place to make sure that American 209 00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:37,799 citizens are the only ones registering to vote, to make 210 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,720 sure that you have to prove who you are who 211 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,919 you say you are. 212 00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 9: When you go to vote. 213 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 7: Same thing, same thing, you know. They put this on 214 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:50,279 the floor, they're going to have to defend it. They're 215 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:53,120 going to have to work hard, because guess what, James, 216 00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:56,159 there are two ways to break a filibuster. One is 217 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,320 to file for closure, which is a block that if 218 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,919 you file for cloture, you have thirty hours of debate 219 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:09,759 and then you have to meet a seventy vote threshold, 220 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,519 excuse me, a sixty vote threshold. That is one way. 221 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,679 The other way is to put the bill on the 222 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,679 floor with a simple majority vote, which they have the 223 00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:23,399 opportunity to do for this bill. And I can explain 224 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,799 to you why if you want to know, But they do, 225 00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:29,120 and they've admitted it now even though the National Review 226 00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:31,360 came out, No, they have to have sixty votes. No, 227 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,399 that's crap. They can put it on the bill on 228 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,519 the floor. It's a message from the House. They put 229 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:39,720 it on the floor and they start the debate. 230 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,279 Speaker 9: The other way to break this filibuster is exhaustion. 231 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 7: If someone keels over on the floor or Democrats don't 232 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,639 have another speaker who can speak. They are limited to 233 00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:58,919 two speeches by each person on one bill on one 234 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,720 legislative day. And guess what that legislative day can last 235 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:08,159 for as long as it takes you. If they do 236 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,000 own adjourn, all they have to do. 237 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,279 Speaker 9: If somebody moves to adjourn, you vote it down. 238 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 7: It's it's going to take a lot of work, James, and. 239 00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,639 Speaker 1: It's gonna take somewhere. Kind of wait, wait, wait, hold on, 240 00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:23,720 hold hold it, don't go away, because we got more 241 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,919 work to do. We've got to stop first, and you know, 242 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:30,679 do the thing, okay, James Golden stardly kind of hairs 243 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,639 with me. Don't go away. 244 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 11: Rush. 245 00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 3: This is the Rush Hour with James Golden. The Rush 246 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,679 Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative. 247 00:14:48,200 --> 00:15:02,559 Speaker 4: On the Red Apple podcast network. 248 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 11: James Golden, known popularly as both. 249 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,159 Speaker 3: Nerdly, This is the Rush Hour with James Golden Rush 250 00:15:12,559 --> 00:15:15,159 with me, ladies and gentlemen, Connie here one of the 251 00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:20,039 most brilliant political political operatives alive anyway, in the four 252 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,159 pointings of this world, Connie, we could go through the 253 00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,279 weeds and then detail, but the bottom line is this. 254 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,559 Speaker 1: You're saying the Senate can do a filibuster. John Thune says, oh, 255 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,919 we don't have the vote. You're saying it could come 256 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,720 through a message to the House. So instead of focusing 257 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,679 all this attention on John Thune, who doesn't seem, for 258 00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:41,559 whatever reason to want to do this, why isn't the 259 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,759 attention being focused to us Speaker Johnson's Speaker Johnson? Can 260 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:47,799 you push this through the House to get it to 261 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,879 the Senate and then try to force them to act. 262 00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:54,399 Speaker 7: It's already in the center, it's already at the Senate 263 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440 as a message that only requires fifty votes to bring 264 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,679 it to the floor plus JD. 265 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 9: So, I mean done. 266 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,559 Speaker 7: The House did their work. Remember in Obamacare when the 267 00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:11,000 original Obamacare bill was actually a veterans housing buses, and. 268 00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:13,919 Speaker 1: They gutted the language and then stuck in this. Yeah, 269 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,240 they gut it all that language and stuck in this 270 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,759 massive Obamacare and sent it to the Senate. 271 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 9: Exactly. 272 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 7: That's what the House did with the Save Act and 273 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,399 send it back to the Senate. It is not in 274 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,360 committee waiting to be called up. 275 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Why doesn't Soon know this, know that he can do it? 276 00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:40,200 He does, then why isn't he doing it? 277 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,279 Speaker 7: Because he's saying he doesn't have the votes for cloture, 278 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,320 for seventy votes to get off of debate. And I 279 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,919 can explain that to you. I'd be happy to do it, 280 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,279 but he's wrong. It's he is trying to say that 281 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,320 we don't have the bills the votes to pass it, 282 00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,080 so we should not, you know, understanding to endeavor that it's. 283 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: Gonna I can look, I understand cloture and sixty votes 284 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,119 for cloture. I get it. But kind of hold on 285 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:11,960 because we got to go through this a little bit more. 286 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:15,440 Something's not making sense to me here with Thune. Okay, 287 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,960 it doesn't make sense. 288 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,279 Speaker 9: It's hard. James oh Man. 289 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,319 Speaker 1: James Golden s Neurly, and we have other stuff to 290 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,680 speak about as well.

That describes my 301 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,640 dear friend Connie Hair, one of the most amazing political 302 00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:32,240 operatives in America. Connie, all right, please listen to this. 303 00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:35,160 I know we had to torture earlier and listen to soon, 304 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,319 but we got to hear this because this cut eighteen Carlos, 305 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,559 can you run a risk. 306 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 10: Of being on the wrong side of President Trump and 307 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,400 your resistance to do this talking filibuster? Tying the Senator 308 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,200 knots for weeks. We don't have the votes either to 309 00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:58,640 proceed get on a talking filibuster, nor to sustain one 310 00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:00,079 if we got on it. 311 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: But that's just a that is just a. 312 00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:03,839 Speaker 10: Function of math, and there is anything I can do 313 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,519 about that. I mean, I understand the President's got a 314 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,440 passion to see this issue addressed as. 315 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:08,759 Speaker 1: We all do. 316 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 10: Does he understand that, Well, we've conveyed that to him, 317 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,279 but we will continue to make that argument because I 318 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,559 think it's important that everybody understand that this really is 319 00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:21,039 about it's about the votes, it's about the math. 320 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: And I'm okay, So enough, Connie. He is directly saying, 321 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:36,079 I don't have the vote to start a filibuster, a 322 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,759 talking filibuster, or to sustain it. You have said, and 323 00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:46,039 you've explained to us, he doesn't need the vote to 324 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,960 start the filibuster, the talking filibuster. 325 00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 7: No, he's got a message sitting at the desk. He's 326 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,640 got enough votes to get onto that. That's I think 327 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,279 that is what it's just a simple majority. But I 328 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:04,640 think that we got to that point because of what 329 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:08,880 President Trump did to John Cornyn when he said, you know, 330 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,160 if you yeah, I'll give you my endorsement if if 331 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,960 you get the sayback passed. And then Ken Paxton came 332 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,799 forward and said, oh, if he passes a save. 333 00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:20,839 Speaker 9: Ack, I'll drop out of the raid. 334 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 7: So I mean, we are really putting the pressure on 335 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,640 individual senators who think they can hide behind process because 336 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,000 nobody understands it. But you go on to X and 337 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:36,920 you can read people who anonymous people out there in 338 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,079 the hinterland. They're understanding Senate process better than the National 339 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,599 Review and the Wall Street Journal writers because they're actually 340 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,279 reading all of Rachel Bavard's work, who is a superstar 341 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:54,319 in Senate process, and it's just amazing. They hide behind 342 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,200 they say, we don't have the votes because normally they 343 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,519 file for closure. They need sixty votes to get on 344 00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,359 the bill so they can limit debate to thirty hours. 345 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,599 That's what cloture does. You file cloture, you get on 346 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,440 the bill, and then thirty hours later you vote for 347 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:17,559 cloture again to end debate, and then you vote for 348 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,559 final passage. That's the normal path that bills take. Because 349 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,920 the Senate has grown lazy. That was a procedure that 350 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:28,920 was set into place so debate couldn't go on forever 351 00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:30,720 and ever and ever and ever and ever. And that 352 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:35,000 was done in nineteen seventeen. That was a rare occurrence 353 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,200 to use that because you know, when you had a 354 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,880 determined minority that wanted to stop something like the Civil 355 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:49,839 Rights Act, you used cloture to be able to stop debate. 356 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,799 Now they're using it for everything, and they've grown lazy. 357 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,440 That's why you have all of the septagenarians and the 358 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,640 octagenarians permeating the Senate. Because it used to be a 359 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,119 younger man's game where you had to have the physical 360 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,039 stamina to debate, make your case, and then up or 361 00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:13,279 down once debate was exhausted. They created a back room 362 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,119 way with cloture to end debate after thirty hours, and 363 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,240 it usually doesn't even go to thirty hours, all right, 364 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:22,920 So that's what cloture is. 365 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:23,559 Speaker 9: It's about. 366 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: Understand believe me, and I know you're you're not talking 367 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,440 about I understand that he doesn't. 368 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,759 Speaker 9: He's saying culture to end debate. 369 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 7: He doesn't need them. Exhaustion ends a debate too. But 370 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:40,559 our doesn't have this. 371 00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:46,839 Speaker 12: He doesn't want to try right, He doesn't want to 372 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,839 try right. This is what I don't understand. Democrats fight 373 00:22:53,079 --> 00:22:53,920 for everything. 374 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,519 Speaker 1: They will fight a losing battle with never ending energy 375 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,160 until everyone's sick of it and they still fight. 376 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:05,799 Speaker 7: Well, it's going to experience a lot of things in 377 00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:09,440 the Senate that they don't want exposed. I think, first 378 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,000 and foremost, it's never taken seventy votes to pass our 379 00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:17,000 sixty votes to pass the bill. It's never taken that. 380 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,160 That's one major thing that's going to be exposed. You 381 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,599 just have to be willing to actually do the debate. 382 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,759 The other major thing it's going to expose is how 383 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:30,079 old and decrepit a lot of these people are. And 384 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,960 I'm not being cruel, James, they are. They don't have 385 00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:38,240 the stamina. So when you have to when you put 386 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:41,440 this bill on the floor and you have to defend it, 387 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,279 that means fifty one senators when they have a quorum 388 00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:48,680 call to get more than half the fifty one required 389 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,519 to do business, they're going to have to have fifty 390 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,400 one Republicans come to the floor night or day. Actually 391 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,359 probably fifty because they have to have at least one 392 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,319 Democrat on the floor. But you have to have an 393 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:07,240 operating form. And it's gonna it's gonna be physically exhausting. 394 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,039 Speaker 1: Benny, he doesn't the point, I got it. But Connie, 395 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,480 if he's not going to do it, if he doesn't 396 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:20,000 want to try, if he will not try, it's dead 397 00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:24,160 and he knows it's dead, and he knows it's going 398 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,519 to die. And he refuses to this man refuses to try. 399 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,759 What how does this get past? If he won't even 400 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,680 freaking try to make it happen. 401 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 7: Well, he says he's bringing it to the floor. He 402 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,279 says that they're going to have a vigorous debate. 403 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,039 Speaker 9: But here's the. 404 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,559 Speaker 7: Key thing to let you know whether this is an 405 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,160 exercise in failure theater or if it's for real. He 406 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,400 says he's bringing it to the floor. We're gonna have 407 00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:59,200 rigorous debate. He does not need to file cloture. Okay, 408 00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:05,440 if he does, then it's a fraud. He doesn't need 409 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,559 cloture at all. But if he files it, and here's 410 00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:11,200 the fun part, if you want to get just a 411 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,079 little deeper into a process, he needs sixteen signatures on 412 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:21,519 a motion for cloture. Not one Republican should should sign 413 00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:22,039 on to that. 414 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 9: He should. 415 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 7: We should force him to do it with all Democrat signatures. 416 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,039 Speaker 9: He needs sixteen. We have got to get. 417 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 7: In the faces of our senators, to quote Barack Obama, 418 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,759 we have got to get on the phone call these 419 00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:44,720 people and say only American citizens can vote, and we 420 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,279 have to put the processes in place to force that 421 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:52,359 accountability because they're not doing it. It's all yes, it's 422 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,559 already the law, but it's a law with no teeth. 423 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,799 No accountability, no requirements to show proof of register of 424 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,559 citizenship when you register anywhere, and as a matter of fact, 425 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:08,039 the federal government blocks it. You cannot put it on 426 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,720 a form requiring to show proof of citizenship the register 427 00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:16,079 to vote for a federal election. That is a fact 428 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,920 because the Elections Assistance Commission has to do the forms 429 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,880 and they have not done it in the decade since 430 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,880 the Supreme Court decision in Arizona that blocked it. 431 00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: Okay, next thing that I'm besides, this is one of 432 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,240 those days kind of where I am just really so frustrated. 433 00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:48,559 I'm frustrated and angry behind this attack on military meals 434 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,559 for our service people by Democrats. Then you have the 435 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:56,920 shutdown again. They voted again today, twenty seventh day of 436 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,640 the shutdown. It failed fifty one the majority to forty six. 437 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,680 But because they don't have the sixty votes, we have 438 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:09,759 TSA workers that are not being paid, we have Coastguard 439 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,960 not being paid, FEMA workers not being paid, we have 440 00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:18,920 the Homeland Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security closed while 441 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,200 we are at war because the Democrats refuse to fund it. 442 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,079 And then we get the same old thing. John Dune 443 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,720 is accusing the Democrats of stonewalling White House negotiators, and 444 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:35,920 it just goes on and on. But it's still closed. 445 00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:38,839 It's still closed Cut number. 446 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,559 Speaker 7: Nine closed conciliation. They can do another reconciliation bill and 447 00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:42,960 fix that. 448 00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:44,279 Speaker 9: It's just going to take a little while. 449 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 13: In Houston, for example, officials at Hobby Airport are telling 450 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,000 passengers to show up three to four hours before their 451 00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:54,920 flights just to make sure they get through TSA checkpoints 452 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,400 on time. 453 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 10: I'm very empathetic to the people that are having to 454 00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:00,000 deal with the. 455 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 5: Three four five hour lines because obviously it's spring gray. 456 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,759 Speaker 13: My flight is at five o'clock and I'm here at 457 00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,519 what is at one thirty, So I'm trying to. 458 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: Not get stuck. 459 00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:10,559 Speaker 11: I expected it in a turtle ol country, but here, 460 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,720 how long does it take to resolve issue with the government. 461 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,079 Speaker 1: It's it's not to me. It's shocking. 462 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,039 Speaker 13: Yeah, And this morning, DHS says more than three hundred 463 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,319 of its TSA workers have quit since February at the 464 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,920 start of this partial government shutdown. CBS News reports absences 465 00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:34,519 have more than doubled, and Denver Airport is even asking 466 00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:37,640 for donations. A grocery store and gas gift cards for 467 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880 TSA workers who are now set to miss a full 468 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,079 paycheck tomorrow. 469 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you said kindly that they can fix this 470 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:52,079 on reconciliation, but it would take the just put up 471 00:28:52,119 --> 00:28:53,400 a reconciliation bill. 472 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 7: A reconciliation bill is a bill that originally had been 473 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,839 used to just wreck and file the difference between Senate 474 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,640 budgets and House budgets when they were off by a 475 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,119 few dollars or cents or you know, but they have 476 00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:13,079 use those those are a majority. It's another privileged bill 477 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,480 that only takes the majority to pass the Senate. 478 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:16,119 Speaker 9: No cloture. 479 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 7: So uh, it has to be financial in nature, and 480 00:29:21,319 --> 00:29:23,880 there are ways to do it. And I've heard talk 481 00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:29,119 of them doing another reconciliation bill quickly if this if 482 00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:33,079 this drags on, but you know, I would hope that 483 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:34,759 they would do that. I would hope that they would 484 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,039 do that quickly. If that's going to be the case, 485 00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:39,839 you know that the Democrats are going to continue to 486 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,240 block all of the things that the Department of Homeland 487 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,599 Security does that are not funded. Right now, that's that's insane. 488 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: Before we leave kind of because time is running out 489 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,880 on this. The fastest hour in American media. I want 490 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,440 you to hear a story that came out of New 491 00:29:54,519 --> 00:29:57,799 York from the local I just I just want you 492 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,640 to hear it. You don't even have to come in 493 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,480 if you I don't want to, but I just I 494 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:03,680 just want you to hear it. 495 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,519 Speaker 7: Cut Ten, you just bring things on me. 496 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I love to bring things on you. Here it is. 497 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,759 Why is mart mackay here? Now? With what we learned today. 498 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 11: Morgan Hey, Stephen Natasha So City Controller Mark Levigne painting 499 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,240 a grim picture of the city's economic future, reporting that 500 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,720 the city lost thirty eight thousand private sector jobs over 501 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,400 the last year. Today, the city council kicked off their 502 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,240 first budget hearing, and already there are mixed numbers, Lavine 503 00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:32,240 testifying today that the city's budget gap will now likely 504 00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:36,480 be seven point three billion dollars over two years, almost 505 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,960 two billion dollars more than what the mayor's office has 506 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,599 been projecting. Levin says he is strongly against the mayor's 507 00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:46,480 proposal to raise property taxes, pointing to how it will 508 00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:49,720 make the city's fiscal future even more uncertain, but he 509 00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:51,960 does think the state should give the city more money 510 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,079 each year by changing the local aid formula. When asked 511 00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:58,079 about the proposal to raise taxes on millionaires and corporations, 512 00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:01,400 Levine kept the door open, but was cautious. 513 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,279 Speaker 1: Everything has to be on the table. 514 00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,359 Speaker 14: But I also want to be cautious because we're relying 515 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:10,240 on the financial sector to continue to show strength in 516 00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:14,079 order to meet our revenues, and if we undermine that, 517 00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:16,240 we could be in a deeper hole. So I want 518 00:31:16,279 --> 00:31:18,720 to be very careful that we don't do anything in 519 00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:23,079 our tax policy that would slow down this key sector 520 00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,079 that we need to pay for important progress for New Yorkers. 521 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 11: Now, usually the Mayor's Budget director will kick off testimony 522 00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:32,559 at the first Council budget hearing, but City Hall says 523 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200 that the director will testify later in the month because 524 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,359 he is fasting for Ramadan. 525 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 9: What a goat rope? You a goat rope? 526 00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 7: I don't know what A will bet them.
