Big D (7:10)
Yeah, I saw the one. I saw the one gun out. I didn't see the second one, but, man, what a cannon. Yeah, yeah. All right. Very good. Paul Nolan's off tonight. Wasn't feeling great by the time he got home, so I told him, relax, get some rest. The weather's terrible anyways. I'm driving tired and all that stuff. So he took the night off. So let's start tonight with our first word. And I felt it necessary to one more time, given this week, to talk about the Save America act, the one bill that could slam the door on election fraud and save this Republic from the clutches of the radical left. And let me tell you, you're seeing it already. The question on everyone's mind this week, is this a lost cause? Should the Republicans just wave the white flag and let the Democrats turn our voting booths into a free for all for illegals and fraudsters? Well, I say absolutely not. This fight is winnable and it's time for the GOP to grow a backbone or get the hell out of the way. Look, Americans aren't fooled by the Democrats smoking mirrors on this. They support voter ID in the Save America act in droves. We're talking 81% for requiring ID to vote, 75% demanding proof of citizenship, 80% wanting noncitizens scrubbed from the rolls. The bill itself, a whopping 71% approval, 50% from Democrats, 91% from Republicans, and about 70% of independents are on board. That's more popular than free beer at a tailgate, folks, or your tax cut on payday. Other than saluting the flag or honoring our troops, I really can't think of anything with this kind of overwhelming backing from both sides of the aisle from the American people right now. But here's the grim reality. We've talked about it. If Congress wimps out and it looks like they will and doesn't pass this act, we're staring down the barrel of a potential disaster. America will slide right into the same story. The sorry mess that Virginia's dealing with and New York City's dealing with, where a tiny, smug elite tricks the masses into thinking they're moderates, all centrist and reasonable. They get elected, then bam. Once in office, they govern like full blown communists that we know there are, shoving through their Marxist agenda with an iron fist. Think about it. The US Won't survive another rigged election cycle where just enough phony votes are cooked up to install these so called moderate Democrats who then rule like tyrants, trampling our freedoms and turning the greatest nation on earth into more of a banana republic. And mark my words, if that happens, once the American republic crumbles and we're plunged into a hot civil war, brother against brother, state against state, history books will scratch their heads and wonder, how did the mightiest country in the world shatter into a million pieces? How did nobody Stop what was so glaringly obvious, a fatal flaw in our elections, wide open to fraud and manipulation. They'll look back at 2026 and pinpoint the one guy, the villain, who couldn't muster the guts. And that, of course, is John Thune, the Senate Majority Leader who blocked the path when 85%, 85% of Americans were screaming to fix this mess. Think about that, folks. Thune, the rhino extraordinaire, snubbing Trump, ignoring the polls and dooming us all because he can't muster the guts to force a real fight. It zipped through the House last month, all 218 Republicans voting yes, plus three Democrats. But in the Senate, stalled, thanks to Democrats who loathe anything that cramps their style. Voter id, proof of citizenship? Well, that'd be hamstringing to their free stuff brigade and their army of illegal voters. They can't have that. They've sworn to filibuster. And Thune says he'll bring it up this week for a show vote, but under the 60 vote cloture rule, he knows it'll die there. It's pure theater failure theater. Why not demand a talking filibuster? The talking filibuster remains one of the US Senate's most distinctive and enduring tradition. Unlike today's silent filibuster where a senator merely signals opposition, forcing a 60 vote cloture threshold to proceed. The classic talking version demands continuous physical possession of the floor through marathon speeches. This tactic once preserved the Senate's foundational principle of unlimited debate, protecting minority voices, but often frustrating the majority's will. The Senate is supposed to be the world's greatest deliberative body. We've heard that is what's supposed to happen. Deliberate. These silent 60 vote filibusters are a joke. Let Cory Booker drone on for another 25 hours about why showing idiots is such a burden. Go ahead, Democrats. Rail against what 80% of folks want. Or the Republicans should just go nuclear, nuke the filibuster with a majority vote and pass the damn thing. Now whiners will say Democrats will turn it around on us. Well, news flash. I think we've all come to the realization they're gonna do it anyways. They nearly did it in 2022, halted only by Cinnamon Mansion, who are history now. What's more transform transformational than locking down our elections with Biden's 10 million illegals pouring in courtesy of his open border fiesta? We need this to restore trust. Fail here and Democrats will cheat their way back. Cement power and then it's game over. So, John Thune, it's time to step up or step aside. Force the talkathon, expose the Dems extremism, make them own it. If Save America passes, they might never steal another election. That's why they're clawing tooth and nail against it. But if you block it or put it up for failed theater vote, history's got your number as the man who let it all fall apart. And that's tonight's first word. And I, I bring it back up. I've done a couple of these on this because I just think it's that important. I just think what we're seeing is one of the great betrayals. And there's been plenty of them if you've been doing this a long time, from the Republican Party, from leaders in both House and in the Senate. But this has got to be right up there with one of the bigger ones.
