Hey, good morning, everyone. It's Mark Halperin, host of Next Up, filling in today for the great Megyn Kelly. It's Thursday, November 6, 2025. This is your AM Update.
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, and that's terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you can do it.
President Trump igniting debate among Republicans with his call to kill the filibuster. An update on the horrific plane crash in Kentucky earlier this week. Well, does the statute give the power to issue a tariff among its other powers? President Trump's tariff policy facing its toughest tests yet. And good news for windmill haters. All that and more coming up in just a moment here on your AM Update.
What did President Trump say about ending the Senate filibuster at the White House breakfast?
You know, all those fad diets, half of Americans do it. And if you do it enough, you could be at risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, and stroke. Weight cycling is when you lose 10 or more pounds, but then you put the pounds back plus a couple more. That all puts tremendous strain on your organs and leads to serious health issues. Bottom line, most people need help to stop weight cycling. And that's why I want to tell you about non-prescription lean created by doctors. Let's Lean is an oral supplement, not a GLP-1 injectable. It uses studied ingredients, which Lean says target weight loss in three powerful ways. Maintaining healthy blood sugar, helping control appetite and cravings, and burning fat by converting it to energy.
Burning fat helps keep the weight off. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, consider adding lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle. Get 20% off when you enter MK at TakeLean.com. That's code MK at TakeLean.com.
In the aftermath of Republican losses in Tuesday's elections and the ongoing government shutdown, President Trump telling Republican senators at a White House breakfast yesterday morning to terminate the filibuster. That's the 60-vote threshold to advance legislation required in the Senate. He says it's the only way to accomplish his own MAGA agenda. Eliminating the filibuster would allow bills to pass with a simple majority, and with the Republicans currently holding a 53 to 47 advantage, it would bypass the need for any Democratic support. Since the shutdown began back on October 1st, Senate Democrats refusing to pass a continuing resolution to reopen the government. President Trump arguing that Democrats' obstinance warrants a major response.
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, and that's terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you can do it. And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in bad shape. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter. We have three and a quarter years. That's a long time. Extensions are supposed to be easy. But if they won't do an extension, they won't do any bill, even a simple bill. And we should do our own bills. We should get out. We should do our own bills. We should open up. We should start. Tonight, with the country's open, congratulations.
Under the Biden administration, many high-profile Democrats regularly push to kill the filibuster in order to pass key agenda items, including making Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico into states, effectively adding four more Democratic senators and adding seats to the Supreme Court. Those bids thwarted by Democratic Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who both insisted on maintaining the filibuster and establishing bipartisan consensus. With neither Manchin nor Sinema still in the Senate, President Trump saying as soon as Democrats regain power, the filibuster is as good as dead.
But the biggest thing is the filibuster. We have to get the country going. We will pass legislation at levels you've never seen before, and it'll be impossible to beat us. By the way, if they do, they're going to do it anyway, and they are going to immediately do the filibuster. And when they do the filibuster, they're going to pack the court. They're going to do all of the things.
