  Speaker 1: this segment of remind folks you got to bookmark the site.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It's a valuable site to do so I use in

  Speaker 1: Political Politics Editor Bradley Jay writing some great stuff every
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: single day. Welcome back to the fifty five Carse Morning Show,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Bradley J. It's always a pleasure talking with you, Brian.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It's great to be with you. Thank you so mean.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Let me let me just make sure I'm straight on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. So with the government shutdown, at least
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in part, the whole thing is predicated on this Save Act,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: which is a photo ID requirement for federal elections. There
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is a law on the books which says you must
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: be a US citizen to vote in a federal election.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So this doesn't really change anything much, but it does
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: ensure that people who are voting are who they say
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: they are, and this, as we all know, is widely
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: embraced by the vast majority of Americans of all political stripes, races, creeds,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and caller. It's like a seventy thirty or eighty twenty issue.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So they're shutting. They shut the government down for this,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and aren't they all? Also the Senate on recess this
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: week as well, so they're really not doing anything.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: The Senate, I believe comes back in today the houses
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: in recent House. But yeah, the at least a twelfth
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of the government or one of the twelve Propriations bills
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is lapsed right now, so Homeland Security is technically in
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a government shut down right now. Stephen Miller and other
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of the President's advisors were prudent enough when passing the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Big Beautiful Bill to include a surge of funding for
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: many of the DHS functions, including ice border patrol, so
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: much of that is going forward. In addition, I believe
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: about ninety percent of Homeland Security is considered essential, so
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's continuing to go forward like most of you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: your TSA, your Coastguard, your FEMA, so a lot most
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of what is encapsulated in this funding is moving forward.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's just another example of the Democrats just pandering to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the radical base that controls them that's calling all the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: shots for Tuck Schumer because as you say, they will
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: do anything to try to prevent any sorts of changes
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that would either kick illegals out of the country or
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: stop them from voting. It's really it really is remarkable.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Right, It's completely remarkable, which leaves us in the weird situation.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I guess centim the Majority Leader John Thune is going
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to maybe push him toward the talking standing filibuster. They
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: could do the nuclear option, which is getting rid of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the sixty vote threshold to move the legislation forward, noting
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that the House has already passed the Save Act. This
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: is in the sentence hands now, so he's not He's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: indicated he's not keen on doing that, and I guess
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: for some reason I understand it. But flipping over to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the talking slash stand filibuster, that means they have to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: hold the floor basically until they relinquish. This is just
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: talking NonStop for one after another after another until one
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: side capitulates. Is that really what this boils down to?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Bradley Jay, So look, Brad I was a Senate staffer
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: for about seven years or so. Back in the day,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the most valuable commodity in the United States Senate is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the calendar. Is such a big deal because there are
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: all there are all these mechanisms that senators have to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: hold hold up the proceedings. It's it's many of the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: rules is anachronistic in old fashioned They work, but it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: very complicated and convoluted. The way that what we call
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the filibuster works today, it's really it's an inappropriate use
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: of it. I think our founders would say. There is
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: what is now a sixty vote requirement. It used to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be sixty seven than at one point, I believe it
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: was eighty many many years ago. But to move to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a bill, you have what's called or to move towards
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: either a vote on final passage or to move towards
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a vote on consideration, you have what's called a cloture vote.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The way that that works is you have to have
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: now sixty people vote to say, well, we are finished
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: debating this. We've talked it out. Every side has either
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: four or against, has spoken as much as they want to,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: So let's move to cloture. Let's move towards actually voting
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: on the theme. Well, but the way that people do
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that now, even whether or not they're debating, whether they're
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: talking or not, they will just cast vote saying, yeah, no,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I haven't fully expressed my opinions on this. I want
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to talk about it a little bit more, even if
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: they haven't been on the floor to talk about it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's not the way that the Senate is supposed to work.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So what these conservatives are now proposing is, well, okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: put your money where your mouth is. If you say
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that that you want to debate this more, you actually
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: have to be on the floor to debate it. You
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: have to be down on the floor doing this whole
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Mister Smith goes to Washington style filibuster where you're actually talking.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: If you and your buddies want to continue to block
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: this from coming to the floor, you have to actually vote. Now.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: That takes a lot of time, and I won't spend
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a day explaining that. The actual Rule twenty two of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the Senate that governs it, but it can eat in
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: two weeks of the Senate's calendar. That's what happened. You
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: think of like the civil rights legislation back in the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: sixties and the fifties when those debates were going on
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: most of the time that those were killed before ultimately
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: being passed. It's just because these senators ate so much
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: of the Senate's time that the Senate leader said, you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: there's other things that they want to do. So that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: what these one of the proposals is. Now. I'm a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: little bit skeptical that senators will do anything to change
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the rules, even these Republicans who would like to see
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the Save Act pass, because so many of them uphold
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the traditions of the Senate, even if all these Democrats
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: have cast it aside and the whole game has changed
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: right now, so it's critically important they pass the Save Act,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and I hope they do whatever's necessary. I would say,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: even if they go as far as changing the filibuster,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: because as soon as Democrats get in power, they will
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: change that. The only reason they didn't a couple of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: years ago is because Cinema and Mansion to Independence, who
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: caucuses Democrats and are now no longer in the Senate,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: voted against it. But they'll do it the first chance
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they get.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I keep hearing that, And of course if
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: history's any guide. That's certainly what's going to happen, or
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: at least is likely going to happen. So as of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: right now, at least Republicans are keeping with traditions sixty
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: votes for closure if they did it that way, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that would foreclose any additional amendments. In other words, we've
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: discussed the bill, it's in front of us, we are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: voting to advance it. This is what we're voting on.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We're not going to do any amendments. It's a straight vote.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Am I right on that?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That is one interpretation of the rules. But there again,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: this is kind of breaking new ground, and that's one
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of the reasons why some many of these old fuddy
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: duddy senators are so uncomfortable with it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But if they do this talking standing filibuster, that will
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: open it up well without I don't suppose there's any
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: argument that would open up to unlimited amendments, meaning they
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: have to discuss every amendment or at least vote on
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: every amendment that comes up.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Well, so much of the Senate is proceeds again because
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there are so many time restrictions, So much of what
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: is done in the Senate proceeds through uanimous consent, that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: is how And it was really LPJ who is the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: first to wield the uanimous consent in a new way
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in the Senate, and that's really what governs the modern Senate.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So if all one hundred senators agreed to say that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the sky is purple, they could do that in the Senate.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So there are some potential workarounds to that, but it would,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say break the current Senate, but
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: doing things this way would open it up to an
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: entirely different way of doing things and moving forward just
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the daily business. So it's kind of a venture into
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the unknown. Brian.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, going back to the Senate not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: being able to get its work done or we've got
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: more important things to do. That's almost like even a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: laughable suggestion. And I'm sorry to be so jaded and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: cynical with regard to the Senate's work, but they really
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't seem all that fired up about doing work when
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they're there. So the idea that they get bogged down
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in this people standing up, and it's not debate, it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: not advancement of the proposition, it's merely standing up and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: filling time. Most notably reading phone books and reading cookbooks
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and doing stupid things just to keep their mouths flapping
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: without even saying anything by way of advancing the debate.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right. And the Senate, it was once called
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the world's greatest legislative body, the world's greatest deliberated body.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: It's not any war. I'll give you an examp when
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the record was set for the so called philibuster just
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: last year, it was by Corey Booker who spoke on
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the floor for twenty five hours. He wasn't even filibustering anything.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He wasn't even trying to stop any legislation for moving forward.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He was just giving a long speech. And now they
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: call a long speech a philibuster. But that's indicative of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the seriousness with which the Senate legislates right now. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: another point about the calendar. Anytime of the majority leader
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: says if there's something that they say, oh, well, yeah,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: we'd like to get to that. There's some business that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we're going to get to first, but we're going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: get to that. No, they're just stalling for time because
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they know that the way that the Senate calendar works,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: anything that they push until the end there won't be
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: an appetite in the Senate to deal with that because
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of the time, so that there will just be a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: vote for cloture or against cloture to kill it. The
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: standing filibuster would be a powerful push back against that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: tool that fun is now using, and that other Majority
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: leaders before him have used so effectively by just pushing
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: things to the end. If they actually cared about something
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: like the Save Act or something that they seditate wanted
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to get past, they'd move it up and actually address
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it and when it comes up and not postponent to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: kill it now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Bradley JA, Deputy Politics heator Bright Bart, I realize you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and I are politically biased. Nobody their cousin the company
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: is a shocked anyone. But I look at this issue,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and let's say they move forward the standing filibuster, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they spin their wheels and read their phone books and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: go through all this time, I guess I'm wondering what
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the perception and the reaction of the American people are
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: going to be, particularly given, as we point out time
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and time and time again, this is a seventy thirty
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue with the vast majority of Americans of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: all political stripes being in favor of the photo ID
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and also being insulted when Chucky Schumer comes out and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: tells people they're too damn stupid to be able to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: get a photo ID. That's a losing argument. So this
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: exercise and this stupidity of reading phone books, I guess
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm just being cautiously or overly optimistic. I can't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: believe it would resonate positively for the Democrats among the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: American people. Your your response to out of your your thoughts,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Bradley Jay, Well.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. A few poll came out recently with
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: eighty three percent of Americans I believe in support of
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: voter ID. I mean, it's pretty common sense. If the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: standing filibuster was put into action to pass the Save Act,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I think most Americans would say. Yet, well that makes
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense. But here's the thing. The Democrat
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Party the actual individual voters, and this cuts across Democrat demographics.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: We're talking about seventy plus percent of different minority groups
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: who support voter ID. However, that is the Democrat voters.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: The Democrat politicians do not support it even though their
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: voters do. Now, why would that be, Brian? I think
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that we both know the answer that it's because well,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: they say that this is about voter suppression. It's not
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: about vote suppression. It is about it is about voter
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: suppression if you mean suppressing illegals from being able to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: vote in American elections. You and I can't vote in
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: France's elections or Somalia's elections to they even have elections
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: in Somalia. I don't know if they're capable. But this
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: is about keep making sure Americans vote. What the Save
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Act does is to register to vote, you have to
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: show a passport or some other like a birth certificate
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: or something like that, and then going forward you have
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to show a government ID with a photo. That's very yeah, yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: it's it's very very much common sense. Most Americans support
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: it that little. The group that doesn't is is on
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, and it's Democrat politicians because they know that
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: if these illegals, the people voting in our elections who
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: are not allowed to people voting in multiple jurisdictions, multiple states,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: if that was done away with, they would lose their power.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And I can't think of anything more appropriate. And to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: do away with the filibuster then and anything more fitting
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: than a vote on the say that that would do
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: just so much to actually restore integrity to America's elections,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: or maybe introduce it for the first time.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Bradley, Jay, you made an excellent distinction between the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Democrats who actually are the ones voting.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: The Democrat part of the ones is scream bloody hell
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about threat to democracy, even though we live in a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: republic constitution of republic, it's a representative form of government.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And if eighty percent of their own people want this
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and they're saying no, I'm going to shut the government
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: down over basically trying to make it easy for illegal
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: immigrants to vote, I have a feeling that they are
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a greater threat to the Republic than the Republicans are. There, Bradley,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that's a.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Really good point. Yeah, Democrats get a Alburkian when they
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: when they talk about this issue, and but you hit
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: them in the face with the facts and the polling
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and that their own voters support that, they have a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: hard time, harder time hiding behind them this faux paternalism
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: where they can say that, oh, well, this would be
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a violation of the Nineteenth Amendment because of a woman
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: has different her married name is different from her from
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: her certificate, and and minorities have trouble getting photo ID
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and I mean like it's it's really pathetic. And I
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: mean I would be insulted if I was a woman
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of her minority and my Democrat politicians were telling me
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: that I didn't have the wherewithal or the ability to
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: do what every other American citizen has no problem doing.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: But that's the party of today.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It is totally insulting across the board. Bradley JW Politics
