What this episode covers
00:01 Well, President Trump went down to the villages in Florida today to um have a little speech there. I have never been to the villages. And I'll be honest with you. I'd like to go. I'd like to go to them. And yes, I've heard all the rumors. I've heard about that. I heard what, you know, allegedly goes on at the villages. But oh everybody always 00:30 lambast villages and my thing is man it's the largest retirement community in America. 00:37 It might be one of the biggest retirement communities in the world if things were so bad down there. listen, this is someplace that the left hates. Number one, the left hates Florida. They don't like Ronda Santas. They don't like the state legislature. They don't like people just enjoying their life. So they would rather them be in places like Chicago or Baltimore where things are miserable. Not sunny Florida. So the left is always against the villages. 01:07 But President Trump went down there and talked to her. And once you listen to what this woman said about Congress. Congress is on vacation right now. It turns your stomach. They should be codifying the president's executive orders. Why aren't they all done? And that was back on May 1st. Yeah, that was today. Back on May 1st. Today's May 1st. um But yeah, she's right. All of this stuff that President Trump has done. Remember this. 01:37 We have had fewer bills sent to the president's desk than any other president in the past 70 years. 70 years. Everything that has been done has been done by this president, with the exception of the one big beautiful bill. 01:58 President Trump has been acting as, not like, but as a lame-dub president since he got sworn in because he does not have the support of certain members of Congress, including John Thune. 02:15 who could save us a lot of grief by simply doing away with the filibuster. And I gave you this analogy before because I read it and I read it, I can't remember if was this morning or last night, but the saying goes, well, what John Thune is, and all these people are constantly saying, well, we can't get rid of the filibuster because then the Democrats will use it against us. Okay, well, hold on. Hold on to this just a second. 02:44 because it really is a double-edged sword. If you don't do away with the filibuster. 02:52 then practically none of President Trump's initiatives get passed. And if none of President Trump's initiatives get passed, you have nothing to run on in the midterms, which are coming up pretty darn quick. You've got no successes, especially in the Senate. Hey, look what we did, nothing. 03:18 The House, they can get out there and talk all they want to and they've done good job, do good things in the House, but none of those bills got sent to the President's desk, so nothing's changed. So the Senate is hurting not only their chances in the primary, they're hurting the House's chances in the primary. 03:37 Oh no, we can't do away with the filibuster because the Democrat, all right, but listen to this. If you do away with the filibuster and if you pass President Trump's agenda and gas prices go down because Iran starts coming to their senses or we bomb the snot out of them. 03:59 gas prices start going down, now everything starts going down, things are looking good for the midterms, then you can win. if you can win in this mid, listen to this, if you can win in this midterm, you can win in the next midterm, because that's an election year, right? That's a presidential election year. If you can do it in this one, you can do it in the next one. And then if things go good enough, 04:28 You can even do it in the next one. So you're looking at eight total 10 years minimum. 04:36 maybe 14, maybe 18 years of conservatives running things in the House, the Senate, and in the White House? That is a possibility, and it's one that terrifies the folks on the left. But if you do nothing, that's gone. But the saying goes, in order to kill a dragon, 05:0 ...
