They need to hear it.

And I think that's the point the president made today.

Yeah, you can change the filibuster in a lot of ways, Steve.

And I would just say to the Democrats out there who now, after voting to do this multiple times, are now hyperventilating about it, listen, if you want to prevent this, then reopen the government.

without health care to illegals.

Stop the hostage taking.

In my state, they are holding hostage thousands of military men and women, thousands of agents, law enforcement agents, and thousands of people, needy people, needy working people who cannot eat.

Stop the hostage taking.

I mean, the Democrats have a choice to make here, but I think Republicans have got to be clear that we're just not going to capitulate and allow this to go on forever.

And so to your question, yeah, there's different ways to change or reform the filibuster.

You could do any number of things.

You can make people actually hold the floor like they used to in the old days.

You could change the vote threshold.

You could say we're going to carve it out for certain things and not for others.

But I think the Democrats need to know that are we going to be the party of the people or are we going to be the party of the Senate?

And my view is we need to be the party of the people.

That's exactly what the president said this morning, Steve.

He made exactly that point.

And he said, I think unless we get serious and show that we are serious about reopening this government, and not just that, but passing legislation like voter ID, like voter integrity laws nationwide.

You know, we ought to ban ballot harvesting nationwide.
