And welcome back. Norma from Montgomery Alabama. Hey Norma what's on your mind
today? Good morning Dr. Thom. Mitch McConnell and 20 other Republican
senators will be up for re-election next year. Yep I don't need to I think
actually sir. I think it's 22 in total. Yes and there are 12 Democrats you know.
Here in Alabama which is Republican we might even lose Doug Jones but what I'm
thinking about is the fact that when these senators are sworn in they take an
oath to uphold the Constitution and I don't see Mitch McConnell doing his job.
And I think he's violated his oath I don't know if Kentucky has a recall law
here in Alabama I always was thrown out and considered and written up as void.
And we can't recall a senator but if this continues on next week is when
these people are going to find out these poor white Republicans who support Trump.
They're gonna find out that they're not getting their federal housing checks.
They're not getting their snap cards and the school lunch program runs out of
money next week. And a lot of people don't understand the school lunch
program also provides breakfast for those very poor children so that means
that these people are going to have to come up with a cash to feed their own
children and when they understand that this is a Republican policy this was
done by the Republicans before Trump took office and you know during the
first year of Trump's presidency all of these programs were ended and so I don't
know how these people you know I'm one of my neighbors used to get she's 85 she
used to get $129 now she's getting 15 and so I don't know how much this is
going to affect Trump's base when they realize that all of their federal
programs are now gone and you know because I personally I guess I'm
prejudiced but I look at a lot of these people as being uneducated and ignorant
and so they have been blindly following the Trump banner and now they're going
to find out that these Republican people that they have reelected including you
know Thom cotton is one of them Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas all of these southern
Republican states that blindly follow Trump they're now going to get hit
pretty hard yeah and people need to make sure that they have someone to put on
that ballot next year well Mitch McConnell is going to be 78 years old
when he's running for reelection and it may well be that he hasn't intend to run
again I mean his wife is a multi multimillionaire Elaine Chao who is in
Trump's cabinet right now she you know her family owns this shipping dynasty
yeah yeah and she still still have dual
citizenship I don't know I don't know but you know the my point is that I
think that it's entirely possible that he's gonna simply retire and that he
just want to announce that until the very end because once he does he becomes
a lame duck and his power is diminished and is all about anything if not power
I'm sorry you remember our discussion years ago about the definition of
treason and I said that anyone who willingly no knowingly and deliberately
does that which hurts the United States for the people should be charged with
treason and you said we can't do that yeah I think we're they're enormous
I I think you were you were Prasoon but and and and what boggles my mind is how
the media is not calling out Mitch McConnell II just will not call out
Republicans in a Mitch McConnell could pass the bill that passed the House
yesterday or they had passed the House last week it would pass in a in a minute
in the Senate has already passed unanimously on December 19th he could
pass that really yeah well see I that's why I think he doesn't care I don't
think he's going to be standing for re-election but all these other senators
yeah you're right on spot on and and we need to hold them to account Norma. Thank you
