What this episode covers

00:00 And welcome to the program on your Monday afternoon. So glad to chat with you. I hope you had a fantastic Easter. And I know we all had a great Easter when we heard about the rescue of that airman that was shot down over a ram. We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. I want to go to Luke Kempelser, talk to him about Lindsey Graham. Luke, welcome. 00:35 Okay, that was Bill Frady. That was Bill Frady a few minutes ago. Not me. 00:48 Yeah. 01:03 Yeah. 01:12 been the first thing that he discussed instead of that. And that was the thing that... uh 01:24 time around and for Senator. Yeah. And his number one thing then was term limits. Term limits. Yeah. Yeah. does seem that way. That's been 30 years ago, I believe. Yeah, something around there. He didn't mention it on this one either. You're right. You're right. And you know what got me, I appreciate you calling. You know what got me? 01:51 Was one of the things because I listened to the interview with with Lindsey Graham with Bill Frady and he's talked about doing away with the filibuster and he talked about well He we want to take it down, you know from 60 to 57 and then to fit it, you know incrementalism Do away with the filibuster and my first thought was wait a minute, know, you You're never gonna do that You're never gonna do it 02:17 And you're certainly not going to do it in time to prevent the Democrats from doing it once they get back in office. This guy, he's just got no sense of urgency right now. He's got this no um sanctuary cities bill. That's never going to see the light of day. Nobody's going to be able to vote on that in the Senate. But he's campaigning on it like a madman. 02:45 That's never going to pass that 60 vote threshold. No sanctuary. You think the SAVE Act is going to be hard to pass? UHU started dealing with the Democrat sanctuary cities. They're going to be fighting you. So, no, nothing's going to get done. Yeah, you might get something done in the reconciliation bill with the funding for DHS, but you're not going to get the SAVE 03:15 It's just not. They don't have the guts. The Republicans in Washington do not have the guts to do it. Or I'll say it another way, if you don't mind, they don't want to do it. They don't. They don't want to do it. John Thune does not want to do it. It's not a priority for him to make sure that our elections are safe. Just not. 03:44 because that would require doing away with the filibuster. And if that does away with the filibuster, that means now there's no excuse for not passing Donald Trump's initiatives. we all know that the one... John Thune, listen to what he said. We can go back to the campaign. 04:04 He said Donald Trump should drop out of the race and Mike Pence should run. That's what John Thune said. 04:15 those words, he tweeted him own self, him own self. He did that. But now he's a supporter of President Trump. Don't buy it. Listen, you see it. It's on the shelf. It's advertised. Don't buy it. There's no reason to buy it. Yeah, the ad may be flashy, but don't buy it. Literally. Anyway, there you go. So 04:43 Pilot rescued President Trump outlined today from the White House exactly, well, as much as they could. 04:54 tell you exactly what went on with this. Let's take a listen to what the president said. We were bringing them all over and a lot of it was subterfuge. We wanted to have them think he was in a different location because they had a vast military force out there. Thousands, thousands of people were looking. So we wanted them to look in different areas. So we were scattered all over like we were right on top of them. We had seven different locations where. 05:22 they thought, and they were very confused. said, well, wait a minute, they've got groups here, they've got groups there. It's amazing. Yeah, was. It was a lot of subterfuge because it had to be. It had to be. And I'll tell you why it had to be coming up in just a second. But the first c ...
