Just like we have just like, we have been telling you Joe Biden, and the Democrats Socialist, are on a shameless pursuit of power. They are now unleashing what is the most single most destructive agenda on modern political history started with destroying american energy jobs. While wanting to spend trillions and trillions on the green new deal, then they opened up the southern border and took aim at american sovereignty, ignoring our laws and ignoring our borders and security. Then they moved to pack, the court and today, on a party line vote House Democrats ran through their bill to make Washington D dot C the 51st state which, by the way, you might want to refresh their memory. That would be unconstitutional without an amendment then. Next on the docket for Democrats, massive tax hikes and reparations and abolishing the Senate filibuster, which Joe Biden claims now is racist, but on the campaign trail he said he would do, and none of those things take a look.
Speaking of those other candidates, several of them have proposed major structural reforms to our government and democracy in these include abolishing the electoral college, expanding the size of the Supreme Court sitting term limits for justices and abolishing the legislative filibuster, which of any of these do you support none, but structural change requires constitutional amendments if those problems are more damaging than the problem exists. Now that Joe is claiming racism as he by definition and not take during the campaign, was he being a racist because remember, Biden, didnt have any issue with the filibuster when Democrats who are using it to black republican legislation, and while Joe Biden keeps talking about systemic racism, when will Joe be held accountable for his record of racial rhetoric, you know warning the country about becoming a racial jungle
back in nineteen. Seventy seven networking with a former klansman, the guy that filibustered the Civil Rights ACT and the Voting Rights ACT and stood against integration of our schools. When was there going to be accountability for the decades of democratic and, specifically Joe Biden, systemic racism, because tonight it couldnt be any more clear. The Democrats in power they wanted in perpetuity and they had power at all costs. They do not like checks, they do not like balances and they do not like coequal branches of government. They dont seem to care about the integrity of institutions that have saved served this country. Well, they do not care about working class families, they certainly dont care about freedoms and constitutionally protected rights. They think they could just get rid of him with a stroke of a pen so who of the Republicans, are going to stand up to this power grab?
The Republican Party will fight for the Trump agenda, the make America great agenda and fight America, great agenda and fight against the d, dot C sewer and and thats talk about the campaign and Joe now. One of the things that Joe during the campaign revealed is all this talk about. Systemic racism is very often just a facade about giving Democrats power. They are going to go back and criticize anything. Joe Biden has said, because now that hes president, they can use his power to enhance their ability to always win elections and always stay in power, always stack the constitutional deck. There is a sick part of me that thinks that the Democrats actually know what they are doing, because when they get
power they want to use it and they want to perpetuate it. They want to ensure that they stay in power forever and their capacity to use the levers of government. To do that again, there is a sick part of me that almost admires to do what they say they are going to do and even go beyond that, even though its terrible for our country Sean, you look at d, dot c, and you look at d, dot C and Larry Elder lawyer by trade and other states cant be admitted without the constitution. Am I wrong or right? The last time we admitted to the states were and Hawaii it was expected that one state would be republican and one state would be Democrat, and it was in this case. If d dot c became a state and ultimately it would
be next on the docket who would produce for a new republican senators and to new Republican House members and Democrats still wanted to do it. I believe them that they would do it because they wanted representation if the pathway to citizenship that would turn twenty two million illegal aliens into voters. If two thirds of them would vote Republican, I would believe them when they said they want these people to come out of the shadows, its all about power, and I would think that even some moderates dont want doubling up the minimum wage. Some moderates dont want corporate tax rates to increase because they benefit from the top can trump economy. Some moderates on the benefit side. Dont deal with this climate change alarmism, so things are going to be violent as well as republican voices. So I will say to these moderate Democrats: you are next. You dont go along with that hard core left wing agenda. Do you believe the fifty Republicans will stand together
to fight and walk out the Senate, if necessary, to prevent a quorum if they try to remove the legislative filibuster? Mr Vance, I will ask you, you know. I really hope that they will. There are a couple of Republicans are probably wavering, but at the end of the day the Republicans need to recognize in the Senate. If they dont take a stand and now they will lose their ability to govern on any of the issues that we care about into the future, they got to stand up and fight right now, all right. Thank you. Both are you running for the Senate, a bus question any chance. I will let you know if I do.
