Our Congress, especially the Senate, is falling short everyday
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
Amid the high-stakes countdown to the Iran deadline, frustrations are mounting over a gridlocked Congress, with the Senate specifically criticized for failing to meet its daily responsibilities. Critics argue that while the executive branch moves toward a potential conflict, lawmakers remain stalled on critical issues like government funding and the SAVE Act, leaving the nation in a state of legislative paralysis.

00:00 welcome back to the program let's go to jeff in taylor's jeff welcome hey charlotte you remember back there when they just audited president trump his whole family audited by way back back to when he was like six years old and uh... you know just over and over and over you know i i think that it's time i don't know if you could do it with an executive order or what would have to happen but 00:26 all the members of congress and the senate need to be out of the to see where they're yet there are no nations from i would love that up there well that's the thing yeah they're they're opposing stuff just like that the t s a uh... you know keep them out of work you know hoping that somebody was going to do something on our plane to try to blame it on president trump you lost if they're doing this treasonous and just like that 00:53 The news media too, they need to be audited just as well because somebody is paying them to do that. If you call yourself an American and you want to keep the TSA that protects people flying in airplanes from working, that's treason to me. Yeah, I agree. I agree with you, Jeff. I appreciate it. I got this email that says, Charlie. 01:20 I voted two times for Trump and went to his first inauguration. Well, first of all, you should have voted three times for Donald Trump. I've been a huge supporter the whole time, but I must say that we are winning fall short of the goal, and here's why. Groceries are still high. Car prices are still high. Now gas is high. The everyday American doesn't feel the winning, and that is why 01:47 We are winning is falling on deaf ears and it also is why we're going to lose the midterms. Well, here's the thing that everything that you just laid out right there is not the fault of the president of the United States. For those things, we have to look to Congress. And our Congress is falling short every single day, especially the Senate. 02:18 You look at John Thune, you look at Murkowski, you look at Mitch McConnell and well, whoever's voting for Mitch McConnell, you look at those people. The only thing that's been done in the past almost a year and a half has been done by Donald Trump, not Congress. Congress has only sent about 34 bills to his desk over the past year and a half. 02:49 That is a record low amount because you've got obstructionist in the Senate, especially, that want to lose the midterms. John Thune wants to lose the midterm. 03:06 That's what they want. They want the Democrats to take over. 03:12 Over in Georgia, going on right now, there's a special election over in Georgia's 14th district. This is Marjorie Taylor Greene's old district until she decided she was going to go home um and not play the game anymore. And it looks like the uh Trump endorsed candidate, um Clayton Fuller, has about a 98 % chance to win this thing. Fingers crossed. 03:42 If you know somebody up in the northwestern part of Georgia, basically from Marietta up, you need to call them, tell them to get out there and vote because we cannot lose that seat to a Democrat. Now we know how the area around Marietta is going to vote, that's nonetheless. But 98 % chance of winning. we've got John Thune, who is afraid to do anything in the Senate. 04:11 afraid to do anything with the rules. You know who's not going to be afraid to do something with the rules in the Senate? The Democrats aren't. Why don't you listen to what George Conway said. And I do think we're going to have also a Democratic Senate. And I don't know whether it'll be 52, 53, 54, maybe even more. And when you have control of the Senate in that way, you can set the rules. And the rules 04:40 this time should provide for a real trial. Not these show arguments, these statements on the floor by managers where there's politicians giving speeches, but where you put on live witnesses and you can show that they're lying and you can show how they're being. And they have to answer the questions and the Chi ...
