Well, I found a video from two years ago of Chuck Schumer calling to use the talking filibuster to pass H.R.
1 when it was right after Sinema and Manchin had voted against nuking the filibuster.
So Mike Lee's idea was not wrong.
He was right to push for this.
And it's not nuking the filibuster, like using the talking filibuster is better.
But I think that these Republicans, I don't know, they don't want to do anything.
And it's not that they're against voter ID or some of these senators, but they are so obsessed with the institution itself.
But now they're lying to us today and came out and said, oh, we can pass it through reconciliation.
No, you can't.
The Senate parliamentarian will never allow it.
You couldn't even get illegals who are on Medicaid.
We tried to get the Senate parliamentarian toβwe tried to ban that in the big, beautiful bill, and the Senate parliamentarian stripped it out.
And so the idea that you're going to get any part of the Save America pass for reconciliation is a joke.
But they just want to fundraise on Hannity and tell us that it's going to happen.
There's little kiosks.
I've been to, I think, 137 Trump rallies.
The OG ones in the beginning, in 2016 primary days, there used to be just people busting, fist fights, and Trump would get into it and start screaming, be like, get up, get up.
If you went to a Trump rally, it was dangerous.
You were going to something, nobody knew what was going to happen.
There was brawls breaking out.
