Episode 5205: Iran Lays Mines IOn The Strait Of Hormuz; Warmongering Graham Wants To Send Your Family To Iran

I want to thank the men and women of the Ford Carrier Strike Group and their families and let all of them know how grateful I am for their leadership and service. The crews on board this strike group have already been endured months at sea only to get their deployment extended. These exceptional Americans rogered up, all supported by their families, continue to stand the watch, taking the fight to the enemy over and over again night after night. Abored ships like the USS Ford and the Abraham Lincoln are a special group of sailors I want to highlight today. These are the men and women, the sailors up on the roof running operations on the flight deck. With an average age of the early 20s, these are the unsung heroes of naval aviation. These young sailors known for wearing yellow shirts are in charge of the catapults, taxing jets around on the flight deck, shooting jets off the front end and recovering jets off the back end. They are literally involved with every single movement on the roof on an aircraft carrier. They are the last ones that enable aviator seas before getting shot off the front end and the first one that enable aviator seas after safely trapping on the back end. And just for a minute, imagine you're standing on that aircraft carrier flight deck. There's 30 knots of wind in your face. The deck is slippery, covered in grease. It's noisy. There are propellers spinning. There's jet blast everywhere. The helicopters are running. Your head is on a swivel and you're trying to direct a multi-million dollar fighter into a one foot square box so that those naval aviators can be shot off into the black of night to go do America's work. Those jets are fully loaded with missiles and bombs and they are a world class team combined with the naval aviation and the aviators in those jets. This beautiful symphony of American spirit is the definition of perfectly organized chaos and these crews do it every single time the carrier is at work. Oh, by the way, in the middle of the night and oftentimes in the pouring rain. Let me be clear. It is a good thing to wipe out terrorists who indiscriminately target civilians and attempt to hold the global economy hostage. And President Trump could be commended for doing so. But ultimately, the operations will end when the commander in chief determines the military objectives have been met fully realized and that Iran is in a position of complete and unconditional surrender, whether they say it or not. President, still want Iran's unconditional service. Well, when President Trump says that Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender, he's not claiming the Iranian regime is going to come out and say that themselves. What the President means is that Iran's threats will no longer be backed by a ballistic missile arsenal that protects them from building a nuclear bomb in their country. I could make an empty threat, but if I have no actions to back it up, then it's an empty threat. And so President Trump will determine when Iran is in a place of unconditional surrender when they no longer pose a credible and direct threat to the United States of America and our allies. I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the 7th. I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. My questions have been unanswered and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know. And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran. We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives. Literally, Russia seems to be aiding our enemy actively and intensively with intelligence and perhaps with other means. And China also may be assisting Iran. So, the American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform, and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war. Or a war of choice made by this President not chosen by the American people with potentially huge consequences to American lives. Attack the United States of America any longer. There are no U.S. leaders or Israeli leaders who are making those same claims. So, is he making this up to justify his decision to go to war now? The President is not making anything up, Nancy. He is looking at this every single day based on intelligence, based on facts, and based on intelligence that he himself and his negotiators have consumed based on there, again, negotiations with the Roe-Garani regime over the past year. And the President and his team tried in a good faith way to reach a diplomatic deal through peaceful means with the Iranian regime and Iran shows this path to death indistruction. Iran wanted to attack the United States of America and the President was not going to sit back and allow that to happen. He was not going to sit back and allow that to happen and everyone in this room should be grateful for it. There was a briefing on the Capitol Hill today and some senators came out and said they were more convinced that there were the U.S. boots on the ground, said Senator Blumenthal, so that in fact, your reaction to that and any update on President Trump's thinking about it. Look, I would say that Democrats on Capitol Hill are clearly being quite disingenuous. Three years ago, not a single Democrat voted for against the resolution condemning Iran as the world's leading state sponsor of terror. Yet now, with President Trump as Commander-in-Chief finally taking the action that so many Democrats have called on the Commander-in-Chief to do for many, many years to wipe out the threat of a Roe-Garani and terrorist regime. Now, all of a sudden Democrats are playing politics with this longstanding bipartisan policy of the United States and they 53 of them in the House recently voted against the resolution condemning Iran as the world's state sponsor of terror. So I wouldn't take Democrats out their word as for boots on the ground. The President has talked about this repeatedly. And wisely, he does not rule options out as Commander-in-Chief. So again, I would hesitate to confirm anything that a Democrat on Capitol Hill says right now about the President's thinking. What would you be if they sent up a supplemental and did they give you any indication this morning that a supplemental is on its way to Capitol Hill? At this point, I am a hard-know on a supplemental. This is not a war that the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war supported by this country. And this is not a war that makes us safer for the Trump administration to say over and over. There's no money for health care. There's no money for childcare. There's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more. But there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East and drop bombs on Iran for military purposes that no one can describe and that no one can explain. How merely from dropping bombs from the air, we will accomplish those ends. No, no more money. The one thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse. The military already has a trillion dollars. The military already cannot pass a simple audit on where that money is. And for the Trump administration to come back and say shovel billions more into a war in Iran that is not supported by the American people and does not make us safer, makes no sense at all. So I will be a no. Caroline, the President said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he believes that Iran was going to strike the U.S. targets within seven days. And then he then bumped that down later to three days. Where is he getting that? Well, that's not the first time the President has said that he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury because he felt as though Iran was going to strike the United States in our assets in the region first. Again, I addressed this in the last briefing. This was a feeling the President had based on facts, facts provided to him by his top negotiators who had been engaged with the Iranian regime in a good faith effort. The Iranian regime was lying deceiving the United States of America, clearly trying to continue their nuclear program to create a bomb that would of course threaten the United States of America. Again, their ballistic missile arsenal, they were rapidly and aggressively increasing that by the month to a place where they would essentially build immunity for themselves where a future President or President Trump would not be able to launch this incredibly successful operation. And so the President, again, as I have reiterated and he has said, was not going to sit back and allow the Iranian regime to threaten or to attack the United States of America any longer. There are no U.S. leaders or Israeli leaders who are making those same claims. So is he making this up to justify his decision to go to war now? The President is not making anything up, Nancy. He is looking at this every single day based on intelligence, based on facts, and based on intelligence that he himself and his negotiators have consumed based on there, again, negotiations with the Rho Gurani regime over the past year. And the President and his team tried in a good faith way to reach a diplomatic deal through peaceful means with the Iranian regime and Iran shows this path to death and destruction. Iran wanted to attack the United States of America and the President was not going to sit back and allow that to happen. He was not going to sit back and allow that to happen and everyone in this room should be grateful for it. To our allies, step up, get our air bases out of Spain. They are not reliable. Move all those airplanes to a country that would let us use them when we are threatened by a regime like Iran. To our friends in Spain, men, you have lost your way. I don't want to do business with you anymore. I want our air bases out of Spain into a country that will let us use them. To our Arab friends, I have tried to help you construct a new mid east. You need to up your game here. I can't go to South Carolina and say, we are fighting and you won't publicly fight. What you are doing behind the scenes, that has to stop. The double dealing of the Arab world when it comes to this stuff needs to end. I go back to South Carolina and I am asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the mid east. What I want you to do in the mid east, our friends, and sorry we are in other places. Step forward and say, this is my fight too. I join America. I am publicly involved in bringing this regime down. If you don't, you are making a great mistake and you are going to cut off the ability to have a better relationship with the United States. I say this as a friend. Tuesday, 10 March in the year of February of 2026, I am not even sure I can comprehend what he is saying right there. In the middle of a gun fight, now you have a conversation who is supposed to be your ally that you poured billions of dollars into protecting. Now we know they are double dealing. It has behind the scenes and you are talking to the concept that the sons and daughters of South Carolina and you saw the general cane at the beginning praising the daily evolutions on a for carrier ops on a deck of an aircraft carrier. What these kids, these young men and women do every day, what they do absolutely every day all day long at night during day ops, etc. I mean, it is the messing here. Lindsey Graham should be pulled off on television. I don't know who he thinks he is. He thinks he is President of the United States. I am trying to shape this is the problem. That is actually a fact. You have to Lindsey Graham over there as a should be a registered as a foreign agent for the Netanyahu government. Now he is letting you know because I spent all the time. The Arab world that I have been trying to reorder. This is where we are. This is dangerous because you have mixed messages because you have guys like Lindsey Graham and dozens more. That are doing their own thing. Okay, we are packed to see being Jack Bessobics going to join us because there's just a report out that the that the Iranians are now mining. The streets are her moves when we get Jack in talk about that also the Koreans are sitting there going yo you took our thads in a strip them at an end of pay com we may have a problem getting back in here because the Chinese Communist Party wouldn't that thrilled when we first put them in I think in 16 or 17 anyway we got a lot of what's actually happening the geostrategic Caroline rent is going to be here because the fight on Paxton versus Corne is heating up. We're slammed for both hours so stick around buckle up you're in the war room. I'm a coach gold. Gold kind of on a tear this afternoon. It's not the price. It's the process. What causes that I think folks are looking for a safe harbor in the US dollar and in gold. Physical gold like they have for 5,000 years of man recorded history. It's called a hedge.

Jack Pasobak, a Naval Intelligence Officer, joins us. Jack first I'm going to start with Lindsey Graham. What is going on? I mean, shouldn't the White House tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, look, no more drinking when he going on TV. And by the way, we don't want you on TV as a surrogate, sir. Well, Steve, it's not, it may be drinking. I don't know. I couldn't say I don't know the good senator very well. But what I can tell you is what you are seeing is an example of gesture gooning for the war. See what that's what this is is that he gets out there and he gesture goons for a wider war, no matter really where it is, whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's in the Middle East, whether it's in Latin America, there's no point in trying to understand whether, you know, the strategy, whether US interests or walking through the difference of it. That's just his role. That's just his job. He's the gesture goons for the war. Can you help out that there's a couple of three boomers in the audience, including me. Can you help me out with my young staff is not the kids. What is the kids for this gesture gooning? So it's when you when you sort of, you know, you kind of you kind of act, you know, in a in a cloning around, you're trying to impress people. You're trying to you're trying to, you know, dance around a little bit, you know, open up the bag of tricks for you know, to get what you want. So just a good yes. So gesture gooning gesture gooning is a good example of what he's doing. But this is my point. Nothing here more serious. We've got 150 casualties now. I think we got seven or I think we have eight now official KIAs. People are in harm's way. We're sending another carrier. We're we're we are flooding the zone now with more and more equipment and more and more assets. And the I'm going to get to the mining in a second, but the the Iranians not only am not backing down. They're doubling down sir. Well, this is deadly serious. And there's no question that when American troops are on the line and when America is best of the best are on the line. If we are going to send anyone anywhere we have to do so with the full force and backing of the United States military. Not just, you know, not just some some clown show on TV. I mean some I mean the real muscle, the real might and to do so to only use that sacred responsibility when it is absolutely necessary. Now the president has said that this operation is necessary. But if he's talking about boots on the ground. If he because we keep talking about this car. I went operation over and over. They said, Oh, we're going to go to car guy. I don't know. You are within artillery range of the Iranian army at that point. That is so close to you. You've got long range artillery that could strike you certainly within range of missile batteries. You're in within range of everything that Iran has to come to bear. So you drop a couple three units or divisions on car. And you're looking at you're looking at another case on and you're going to see case on all across tiktok. Now I'm sure by the way, not just this military, whether you're talking about the 75th Rangers you're talking about tier one assets. You're talking about 82nd Airborne. They could do it and they will do it. US Marines. They will do it. But if we are going to do something like this, we cannot be glib about it. And we have to be serious unlike the unserious senator here. You need to take it seriously and understand that that is going to spark a wider and longer configuration. And I heard the president. The president of the United States yesterday say this is a short term conflict, a short term pain for long term gain. That's what we heard from UN ambassador. That's what we heard from Caroline levitt. And that's what we heard from the president as well. So, you know, I would just I asked the senator to check with them. You when you're talking about car guy, and we're talking about the streets of her moves. We're talking about. That's the, that's the, the island that has a lot of the Iranian infrastructure facilities on it for holding storage and also their entire structure is there. 90% their, their all knows, flowed, flows right through car. Right through car and there's talk about the 82nd airborne, a combat team or combat brigade from the 82nd airborne doing maybe an air drop in there or others delivery systems. They will definitely be sons and daughters of South Carolinians when the 82nd goes from Ford Bragg. That's why he's also saying something disturbing that ought to be out in the open. The Arab, a quote unquote, a great Arab allies in the region are all running for cover and telling people, hey, we got to stop this or double deal us. We know, know that the, the, all the financial assets of the Iranians are in the pirate COVID to buy yet they haven't been frozen yet. So it's, it's like America's fighting and protecting these, these monarchies. And I'm not so sure they're in the fight, sir. Well, Steve, and I've said this from the beginning that Iran made a strategic move and certainly rolled the dice. The same as the president made a strategic move in ordering the operation. And their counter move was not to only go directly against US bases when you look in terms of Saudi, when you look in terms of Al-Deed, when you look in terms of Kuwait, but also to go against the US allies that make up the GCC, the Gulf Cooperation Council. These are the Arab nations, the Sunni Arab nations around the rim of the Gulf, the Persian Gulf. And so in doing so, they make them have to choose. Will you choose your alliance with the United States and potential regional hegemony over all of your economic gains? And by the way, when it comes to Dubai, think about the past 15 years that Dubai specifically has invested in their reputation management and their ability to say that we are the jewel of the Middle East, that we are a place where people can come. And it's a pleasure palace. It's the Las Vegas of the Gulf where people can come from all over the elite of the world, the rich of the world can come and have a playground. That is shattered. The minute the Shaheed drones begin flying in, unimpeded through the airspace or making short work of air, enemy air saturation and going directly through your air defenses, start slamming into these towers. Like, you know, they obviously have been targeting the Burj Khalifa, but you know, you look at some of these other incredible and impressive skyscrapers which Dubai has. That is the challenge that Iran is putting up against to say, hey, you want to go one on one, we're going to go asymmetric, we're going to hit you in the purse. Let's play the now they're talking about mining. The president would say, hey, don't hit the air barrel eyes, they hit them. The president says, I'm going to have Navy combatants escort people put up $20 billion to make sure this free flow in and out of her streets or her moves. They come and say we're going to mine it. We're going to shell it. The president, I say, says, you better watch out. Your new son, that's the Ayatollah and they come back and say, you better watch out. I mean, they're going to for tat. Let's play right now. The streets or her moves are bring Jack in. Some important breaking news and that is that CNN is learning Iran has begun laying minds in the straight of war moves. This is according to two people familiar with the matter. It's another major complication is the world's top oil exporter warns there could be quote catastrophic consequences for oil markets. If the conflict keeps disrupting ship and oil tanker traffic through the straight, he says beyond upending shipping and insurance, the ongoing disruption could snowball threatening aviation agriculture and other industries. A short time ago, the White House repeated President Trump's promise to provide government backed insurance as well as naval escorts to keep tankers moving so far those shipping companies are resisting traveling through the region while the fighting goes on. What it shows clearly is how relatively, note I use that word, easy it is for Iran to cause absolute mayhem havoc and chaos with the global shipping. You see, they threaten of whether they actually lay the minds or not will only have to wait and see. You've got the perspective of the drones and missiles. You've got an entire choke point that you're looking at and all that the West can do or that President Trump and others can do is offer these rather poor substitutes insurance, exporting of vessels. He spoke to the CEO earlier of Merck shipping, the largest in the world and he basically said, look, you can give me all the insurance you like. But if it's not safe, I ain't sending my ships, my container ships through the straight and he said, and as for escorting, it's just too difficult. Now they've got 10 ships stuck in the northern Gulf. They've got many more on the way. It gives you an idea of why what the President said yesterday might sound good in sound bites, but is very difficult to actually put into play and terribly easy to overturn. Jack, but so we've got a couple of minutes on this side and I want to hold you just your thoughts of what you've heard in the difficult complexity of mining the straits or her moves. Well, see that I would put it this way. It's the complexity isn't mining this trade. The mine, the trade is very easy to mine specifically those shipping channels when you're only looking at a deep sea channel of about two nautical miles each the eastbound to westbound. And then there's a buffer zone about two nautical miles in between. So you're talking a very short, very narrow distance whereby in these these depolt vessels can transit and at the same time Iran has the ability to do that. So you can do put or by the way, create the perception of having put these asymmetric sea mines into into the straight itself by running their small boats out by using freighters by using dows by using I mean you could use a dinghy to be able to put one of these mines out. So actually what we saw in the USS coal situation over in Aden, I was just a small boat. And so they have the ability to shut down so much of the world's trade, which by the way, shuts themselves down as well, but it's always been the ultimate card that Iran can play. And then of course there's no ship captain that's going to drive through there. John Conrad says that he would do so, but even he might have might want to pump the break to be saw some Iranian miners out there. Jack, can you hold off for one second, we're just taking a short break. I just want to get some other items. Pete Hex is committed to having a massive bombing today. It looks like that's happening inside of inside of Iran. So they're getting lit up even as we speak short commercial break, Jack, the so kind of the side, birch goal, take your phone and text ban and be a NN, oh, N at 9898.

Today more bombing going through those objectives, particularly the degradation of their military capabilities, either nuclear weapons capabilities, Arab defense capabilities, missile ballistic missile building capabilities, pretty concise, but going to take a while to do it. I don't see what Pete was saying and then what our actions have been today in the counter actions by the Iranians to potentially mine the the Straits or her moves. I don't see I'm not feeling an off ramp, sir. We'll see that you know we're talking about an actual mining of the straight of form moves and keep in mind that this was not stated by the Iranians. This was stated by American media reporting based on intelligence and if Iran were going to mine the straight of form moves, they would be doing so at great harm to themselves as well as to their customers, their chief customers, the Chinese Communist party because that is who receives the bulk of Iran's oil. When it is removed now they are already feeling the hurt because of the current de facto closing of the straight of form moves that we've seen, but mining I mean you're talking about law a shock to the oil system that is a game of essentially brings bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bansh bans that's why they should have dropped the files that's why they should have come out early on when we went in and we said back February last year I said just put them all out just put them all out and then it was this and this it was stop it come up because it was a proxy for the broader issue of deep state secret corruption and secret control of the United States that has been the issue and that has always been the issue. Should we now release all of these investigations on President Trump and name who because there's hundreds of people that John Solomon saying we're also investigating at the same time or in the same situation should we just dump all these immediately and get on with it because we've got election in the midterms and the deep state has got their own ideas of what's happening in this war. If we don't achieve accountability now we say what's up. If we don't achieve accountability now we never will they will kick this can down the road every single time and then they'll say vote for me because we the one to release the files and then the files never actually came out. No, they eventually got where they needed to with the DOJ and I applaud that. I think everyone has seen the the the fruit of that but at the same time we need to be honest about what the deep state has done to this country with the done the magma movement with the done to so many great patriots people who were thrown in jail like yourself Steve and Dr. Peter Navarro people who are indicted four times like Donald Trump and people who had investigations against them like General Flynn who ended up spending millions upon millions of their own personal wealth all because they wanted to stand up for American people. Yeah. Rudy. There's no. Rudy bank. It's a journey on. Michael and Del. Post work. Everybody. Yeah. A thousand hundreds and then all the J6 guys.

Fantastic. Great. And thank you for changing your schedule to join us. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. God bless to the positive. Carolyn rent and about and just say and just so Jack teed up Mike how is coming he was there this morning he's coming back because the White House a huge story in Axios. And computers names on it and they're totally dialed into the White House the White House. They're saying now they don't want any discussion no mention of mass deportations house going to join us to six and get that. But Carolyn I've got you on because this whole thing is like proxy wars in the cornon Paxton grassroots versus not just the DC Astagno but a guy who was basically the legal brain to help the deep state I mean cornon you know Lisa Monaco was a Rosenstein all of them right and we're going to have some but the same American like who knows this thing's kind of in limbo and one of the reasons in limbo it's not taking some symbolic vote of 51. You got to roll your sleeves up and you've gone if you're going to be leader like John do you got to go find the votes to make sure that we can get to a standing or talking filibuster it's not going to work otherwise people actually want it past they just don't want some symbolic effort ma'am it seems like we're hung up now on because to save cornon politically right and try to try to thought Paxton and really in 30 Paxton is the mega grassroots that they they're looking like they want to have some symbolic votes. Maca doesn't want symbolic votes the grassroots now and the folks in Virginia there all day we talk about this morning I got tremendous feedback from the chairman of the GOP about how it's enthusiastic grassroots to go to work the same thing in Texas these people on fire and their president Trump's most ardent supporters ma'am. Yes, well president Trump is on fire about this he's been on fire about it for two or three months he has been yelling at everyone past the same America act use whatever means necessary nuke the filibuster use the talking filibuster and it's just wild apparently who doesn't reach through social is US senators and their staff which in no surprise here because they seem to be blindsided by this president Trump is not an overly mysterious guy he tells you what he wants and he has been not just telling it he's been demanding it for months and the Senate has been ignoring it and kicking it down the can and it is all coming to a head right now and you know it really exploded to a head thanks to Ken Paxton and Ken Paxton taking his own political future you know and throwing to the side and saying I'm willing to follow this order here but let's call these people out and he gave Trump the leverage that Trump needed to go to these senators and you know right now food is saying well we don't have the votes and then today says that he's going to bring it to a vote next week I think that's just performative theater they're bringing it to a vote next week knowing they don't have the 60 votes and knowing they're not going to use the filibuster and instead they're going to bring it to a vote just so that John Corning can vote yes and then they can go run to the White House and say oh Mr. President Corning voted yes let's go get that endorsement and I think President Trump is much smarter than that and he should and will I think see right through a perform a performative vote like that but but but but but but but but explain to this because this is what they say well Corning's great because he votes for President Trump 99.3% time that's not relevant it's all process that like this this is just performative it's not about getting to 51 on the on the on the Save America act itself it's about actually doing some hard work and thinking through and we're going to play a clip here in a minute I'll do it after the break we're going to play a clip here in the minute the Democrats started through and we got bigger brains on the Constitution and the in the in the customs traditions and procedures of the Senate to make this work all food comes to the microphone it's so hard you got to do you know you have to have a very in the room they're going to do amendments I don't give a damn the American people don't give a damn your job's supposed to be hard you're in the most exclusive club in the world only a hundred people in the state Senate and all they do is wine about so they get their Thursday fly out yes the standing filibuster is hard somebody's going to have to stay ground to stand there fight it and we got them to make basically make the pitch as you saw Tim McCain or McCain and excuse me in the senator from Virginia today says no this is a repressive this Tim Cain says this is repressing repressing the vote in the United States if that's the argument we want to make why wouldn't we want to make it in the in the Senate for two or three weeks on national TV yes and all food in these guys is wine about and they want to do these performative process things to go to the president say what court in supports us he voted for it ma'am. President Trump came out said that he will not sign any bill any bill until this passes the U.S. Senate this is why I love Donald Trump he is not messing around and so good you know what you know a president Trump you should not endorse any GOP senator until this bill passes what type of message would that send if you're saying that you will not sign a single bill until this bill passes yet you're endorsing the same senators that are obstructing this process for a decade and been trashing you he cannot endorse corn and how would it it doesn't even make sense to do that and frankly if I were president Trump I would rescind my endorsement of every GOP senator until this bill passes I'm sorry but president Trump's endorsement is the most powerful endorsement in the country it is a privilege to get that endorsement it's something you should earn and it's not something that should be just handed to you because you are an incumbent and these senators right now are not endorse not earning Donald Trump's endorsement and they need to work for it right now and I hope that president Trump he is clearly putting the pressure down throwing the gauntlet down here and he should not not not let up.

done with that dot com do it today Senate cannot protect the right to vote which is the cornerstone of our democracy then the Senate rules must be reformed must be reformed if the republicans blockclosure on the legislation before us I will put forward a proposal to change the rules to allow for a talking filibuster on this legislation as recommended by a number of our colleagues who have been working on this reform for a long time historically changes to the senate rules have been necessary to adapt to change circumstances even senator bird a traditionalist said just that to address voting rights in a timely fashion there's an opportunity to do exactly that to change the senate rules to promote a public debate that is restorative of the senate's long standing to speech limit we feel very simply on something as important as voting rights if senate republicans are going to oppose it they should not be allowed to sit in their office they got to come down on the floor and defend their opposition to voting rights the well spring of our democracy and there's broad strong feeling in our caucus about that once members of the minority party have exhausted all of their speaking rights and defended their position on the senate floor the debate will have run its course and the senate will move to vote on final passage at a majority threshold which has always been the threshold for final passage I hope every senator will embrace this practical reform Dr. King said to us keep fighting they tried to pass voting rights bills year after year after year 1964 they couldn't get it they kept fighting and they got it in 65 this process today is another step forward in the march to voting rights we ain't giving up you're going to hear from us plenty as we continue on this issue and again to anyone who says oh well you may not win don't do it look at history if you keep fighting the cause of justice as Dr. King has said will be renewed he used to quote amus let justice flow down like the mighty waters the mighty waters will flow down you can't stop them they can be diverted they can be delayed but if you keep fighting they can't be stopped and we are not stopping we are not stopping we are not stopping this is too important this is sacred this is vital this is not just a political fight which some people like to just talk about is a fight for the soul and the future of America and we are strong dedicated and enthusiastic to continue that fight okay why don't I hear that out of the food right now I mean that's from them a couple years ago they passed their radical their radical voting bill the president of the United States is on record is that the Save America Act will essentially save Americans a voting rights act about who can actually vote in this country because you don't want illegal aliens and others that shouldn't be able to vote Caroline Ren why are we not seeing the if and they were stopped against by mansion and cinema right why can't we do it on the Republican side of course it's complicated but big deal they're United States senators ma'am well I was confused because yesterday senator Thune came out and said basically we don't even know what the talking Phil Buster is we're not really sure where Mike Lee came up with this thing we we have no example in history of it ever passing and so you know this is kind of too too far out there and so that made me think like is that true I mean I I barely heard of the talking Phil Buster maybe this is accurate and so I just went and looked up you know and I assume or ever said something about the talking Phil Buster and then I found that video and it actually goes on for it's 10 minutes of Chuck Schumer as the majority leader you know talking about the exact same thing that we are talking about here they they have a very different version of their voting rights bill right but I remember it was in 2021 and when they had all the all three chambers of government their number one thing was HR one that was there you know voting rights bill that it passed out of the house and Nancy Pelosi was putting a ton of pressure on the Senate saying get rid of the Phil Buster people couldn't believe she was saying that the base of the Democratic Party got unbelievably spun up I mean they were if you remember how angry they were about this and sort of pressuring and pressuring the Democrats they started calling out my name everyone until Schumer decided you know what this is like not only what my base wants is what my president wants it's what the house wants and sent me and so you know screw the institutions I'm going to go out here and do it and I may fail this vote's probably going to fail because he knew he didn't have the votes there were two holdouts mansion and cinema but he still went out and he gave that speech and they force what they did they smoked out all the Democrats forced them to take a position on this two senators voted against them they're no longer senators because of it and you know mansion you could argue maybe like that vote wouldn't have affected it cinema could not even run for the election because of that vote she couldn't even attend a wedding in her own home state without being run out by people screaming at her about it the country does not care about this filibuster like these dinosaur Senate procedural rules the Democrats already had this battle they came out of it firmly on the side of the next time we take power and we get these two problematic senators out we're lifting the filibuster to pass every single thing that we want done in our agenda and that so that's be right there to be is critical because then we have senator what all I'm now asking with senator Thune is you know what you're telling me you don't have the votes I want to know who they are I want you to name names because then maybe they should not be in office again maybe repulp you should put your name next to a position like that and stop saying that the sava america act has fifty one co-sponsors we don't need a performative bill we know who's voting on it there are fifty one there are two holdouts and that is Lisa Murkowski and Tom Tillis there we go mystery solved so but like there are obstruction I mean there are others that will say oh I will co-sponsor vote for this bill but I'm not going to change the procedural rules in order to get it done and I think it's time we say enough is enough bring the vote on the talking filibuster to the floor senator Thune and then let's find out who and is it I don't know is it ten is it twenty senators I would like to know because I don't think that they deserve Donald Trump's endorsement ever again I think that is there probably a primary challenger that'll be up to the voters in their state but I know if I were living in that state I would work for primary challenger of someone who is not willing to vote and pass what is Donald Trump's number one priority he won the popular vote and won the presidency saying that we are no longer going to allow cheating to happen in our elections you have to be a US citizen to vote and if we cannot lift the filibuster to at least have that one vote on record of we want US citizens to vote for our representatives then what are we even all doing here Caroline where do people go your Twitter feed has been on fire about this fight of Paxton
