here now is republican senator tommy
tuberville from alabama senator great to
see you thank you for so much for being
here before we get into all the details
about the filibuster and what's going on
in terms of process and inside the
beltway how much longer can our leaders
avoid stuff we really care about and
focus on stuff that we really want to be
done
thank you dave first of all great
opening
second of all
joe biden goes to georgia the day after
university of georgia wins a national
championship in college football he
wasn't first on the menu there today so
he picked a bad day for that but it's
like everything else so
all the timing's been off everything
they've done in this past year they've
tried to destroy the country exactly
opposite
of what any normal person
normal adult normal leader would have
done
but of course they're trying to blow up
the filibuster now to make up for the
problems that they've caused because
they want two things
they want power and they want to get
re-elected and the only way they can do
that
is change this voting rights and they
want to make it
so-called easier to vote harder to cheat
which is directly opposite to this but
huge problems you know the filibuster is
60 votes in the senate that's what it
should be you know the minority party
part of the senate needs a voice but
they want to have all the voice
they want to take 50 votes pass
everything they possibly can because
they know if they don't get some kind of
voting rights act done david they are
going to get their tails kicked next
november it's coming they know it's
coming and that's the reason they're
spending all this time on this voting
rights and the filibuster and not taking
care of
all the things they've screwed up the
you know the virus the border inflation
uh you know government spending we
haven't spent any time on that yeah but
you know the the chance of them passing
this thing is very small you have both
senators mansion and cinema uh having
clear objections to it in some ways
cinema's objections are stronger than
mansions on this uh it it just seems to
be that they're they're going after
something that's that's an impossible
dream that they're not going to get
we all already have a simple majority in
this building it's called the house of
representatives we don't need another
house of representatives if we're going
to go just cut the filibuster out let's
just combine both of them and save the
taxpayer money but it's ridiculous to
even be talking about this but again it
goes back to what they have not done
they have not taken care of this country
they have not taken care of the american
people on both sides they've absolutely
destroyed everything that the past
administration's done and everything's
out of control so
this is their only choice only choice
only way to keep power power over
dependencies what i call it they they
want power over the people they can take
care of not power over all the people
that pay taxes in this country but you
know there's a very disturbing part of
all this and that's that's the rhetoric
that the president has been using uh to
push his policy whatever they are voting
rights he's lying about voting rights
even the washington post gave him four
pinocchios for his lying about the
georgia voting law lying about covet
policies saying that nobody saw this
coming when many researchers around the
world saw omicron coming and of course
the biggest lie is the lie about
economic policy uh suggesting that
spending trillions more is going to
bring down inflation a whole lot of
other things
that's a very disturbing trend the way
they're trying to sell all this
and they're trying to sell it and some
people are buying into it but i'll tell
you
back in alabama where i'm from people
aren't buying into this you know i've
got two young guys that i coached at
auburn university they started a lab a
few years ago and they told me
by doing two or three thousand tests a
day on this cove they told me back in
august coach we got more variants coming
they're coming directly at the american
people now if you've got two guys that
just started a lab that's in the
business of doing this you would think
that that these leaders these so-called
leaders we have over in the white house
would look into things like this but
they said they had no clue come on what
have they done with the money with the
test yeah you know the 150 billion
dollars we're supposed to have tests we
should have tests laying all over the
ground that's right but where we you
can't find a test
but you know it's it's an absolute
debacle they don't know what they're
doing that that's out of control uh
they've lost the people in this country
and they know it well yes
yeah they're even voting they're even
losing radicals who are running for
office i mean stacey abrams not wanting
to be seen in public with the president
or the vice president is is
extraordinary we had uh newt gingrich on
fox earlier he spoke to this point let
me just play that and get your reaction
roll tape i think she realizes that a
photo op next to
president biden and vice president
harris hurts her doesn't help her
and
she i think she also agrees with the
civil rights groups who think this thing
is all funny and i think it's a little
bit puzzling why the president would put
so much effort into what's clearly going
to fail so senator why is the president
doing this i mean i i really have
trouble understanding senator schumer i
can understand he's facing a
primary challenge from aoc wants to be
seen as far to the left as possible i
think that's even though he knows it'll
probably fail that's why he's pushing it
but why the president
well as you just said you know the
progressives are running this show up
here in washington d.c it is not the
democratic party uh
president biden he doesn't know what
train to get on
so he's listening to people in the
background he's listening to all of his
advisors hey we've got to get this
voting right acts uh
deal done we've got to do it early we
can't wait late
things are tearing uh going separate
ways on us we have no control that's the
reason he's doing this he's doing it so
he can help his base and i think this is
the worst direction for president biden
to go he needs to go out there and help
the american people and quit worrying
about getting people re-elected now he's
still of course selling bbb the the the
four to five trillion dollar plan that's
the real cost of the thing uh it still
has super sizing the irs in it they're
trying to convince americans that it it
would be in their interest to have 87
000 more irs agents running around
despite all the leaks from the irs etc
senator manchin is key to stopping this
thing is senator manchin holding his
ground on being against passage of bbb
yeah he's basically told him and he told
them two months ago they just weren't
listening he said listen i'm not for
this we're not doing this you know the
at the end of the day you know what i'd
say is listen why don't we fix the the
the uh
places that we've got now in in in our
government in terms of all these
bureaucrats when we fix the things that
we have now get them going in the right
direction instead of adding more but i
think mansion's going to hold i think
cinema is going to hold i think they're
going to have some more that's going to
turn tail and run at the end of the day
we have got money all over this country
that we've been printing we've got to
quit printing money we've got to put
people back to work we've got to get
jobs going again and we've got to get
rid of this inflation it's going to take
a while but they've created a situation
david that's going to blow up in their
face and they know it and that's the
reason they're preparing for a showdown
next november yeah i think you're right
on that senator tuberville what a
pleasure to talk to you senator thank
you for coming in appreciate it
