What this episode covers

00:00 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:27 For spacious skies, for amber waves of 00:37 For purple mountain majesties 00:59 Share his grace on P.A. uh 01:09 America is back. Yes, sir. You are correct. Let's go to the WRD top line. We'll in easily. How you doing, Will? 01:32 Well, are you there? 01:36 Will? 01:41 Are you there? Is it Jeff you're talking to? No, well, JJ typed in Will, so I guess this is Jeff and Easley. How you doing, Jeff? How you doing, man? I'm doing good. What's up, man? Question, I see Wayne is already up with bull crap on television, but why ain't he got come on to call you a terror rather than Bill Frady? 02:07 I don't know. Well, you see, Lindsay does not like me. Lindsay is not a fan of Charlie. Lindsay doesn't even want to be at events that Charlie is going to be at. um So I'm not surprised he doesn't call. I'm really not. I'm really not. But I'm glad he calls Bill. I am. then he'll say stuff like he said today, Jeff. I appreciate your call. said that instead of talking about the filibuster, doing away with the filibuster, but instead of that, 02:37 No, no, no, no. Instead of that, what they want to do is from Lindsay's mouth. 02:49 They want to take the 60 vote threshold. 02:54 and they want to make it a 57 vote threshold. oh that going to do? It's not going do anything. It's not going to matter. And then he said we take it down to a 55 vote threshold. And he's kind of doing that incrementally. 03:13 How long is that going to take? First of all, you're not going to get the filibuster under this Senate or even the next one. You're not going to get it reduced to 57. And if you do reduce it to 57, it's not going to matter a hillebians because you're still not going to have the votes to override it. 03:36 The only option, and he, Lindsey even brought this up, he said, you know, when the Democrats are back in power, they probably will do away with the filibuster. Then I got a brilliant idea, Lindsey. 03:50 You and John Thune do away with the filibuster now when it will benefit us, the Republicans, or the Democrats are going to do away with the filibuster when it's going to benefit them. Because you see, nothing has been done. Can somebody ask this question, please? What have you actually done in the Senate? What have you voted on? 04:20 in the Senate. mean, substantive. I'm not talking about naming bridges or roads or declaring Holladah, whatever. I'm not talking about that BS. I'm talking about stuff that really affects this country. And more importantly, what helps the Trump agenda? What has the Senate done? John sued that they just don't have time to do away with the standing filibuster or with the zombie filibuster. 04:48 They don't have time to go into the standing filibuster. I don't have time. It seems to me like you've got nothing but time. This president over the past going on a year and a half now. 05:05 has had 34 bills sent to his desk. Thirty-four. 05:13 Now tell me how much work you're doing. Please tell me how much work you're doing in the Senate. 05:19 Here's the, I'm going to give you the answer. I'm going to give you the answer. This is, this is the, whenever you hear bleh come out of Lindsay's mouth, bleh, vomit. 05:31 When somebody asks, hey, Lindsay, why don't you do away with the filibuster? Here is the actual answer. Because I don't want to. I don't want to do away with the filibuster. The same thing with John Thune. I don't want to do away with the filibuster. I kind of like the way things are going right now.
