Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, we're going to do a Senate majority reality check.
It was a great song came out late eighties, early
nineties by this R and B group, Soul to Soul,
Back to life, Back to life, back to reality. I'm
going to give you a little bit of reality a
can you watch a lot of conservative programs, a lot

(00:37):
of the opinion programs, Fox and other places, and everyone
just giddy geey, giddy, giddy, giddy. Oh, Republicans have the
majority in the Senate. Yeah, But so what I'm telling you,
So what, I'm going to give you two examples, two

(00:59):
examples just over the past couple of days. Then I
will prove to you that it ain't worth a darn
First and foremost, there was almost five billion dollars in
Ukrainian debt. That again, we ran Paul an actual conservative,

(01:23):
a true conservative in the United States Senate. He forced
a vote to block canceling this five billion dollars of
debt and putting it on again on the US taxpayer
got voted down overwhelming, and you can guess the usual suspects.

(01:44):
Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, John Cornyn, Tom Tillis, go right
on down the list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna we're
gonna just give that money to them. We're gonna forgive
that debt. There was another one as well, and again
this is involving Rand Paul. We all know about the

(02:04):
aid that we need for hurricane victims. It's actually a
Tom Tillis bill. Originally, Ran Paul said, Okay, hold on,
I have no problem, I have no problems sending aid
to hurricane victims. But we are already running a two
trillion dollar deficit. Why not take money from somewhere else

(02:26):
in the budget and divert it. And what Rand Paul
wanted to do was take money from green energy projects,
money being handed out to private sector companies. And guests
who voted against it voted against his own bill, Tom Tillis,

(02:48):
Tom Tillis, Republican, North Carolina, of all places. He refused
to sign off on that because it was probably taking
money from some of his donors. Ken you might be
all excited because you got the Republican majority. Yeah, you'll see.

(03:10):
You'll see when they start putting roadblocks up, when they
start denying Trump's picks right on down the line. Mark
my words. It's almost like it's almost like Republicans have
double agents within their ranks. Watchdog on Wall Street dot
