I'm John Batchelor, and Elizabeth Peek is here, my colleague, who writes a column for the Hill and column for Fox News.

And I apologize to Liz that I missed entirely Senator Cory Booker's display until I read Liz's column.

And if you missed it, and apparently it was hard to miss, but I've been reading,

well, I confess that I read history. I was not paying attention to the current events.

As I understand it, Liz, Senator Booker lasted 25 hours on the Senate floor speaking about matters

that upset him, and the interpretation by the Democrats is that this

is a rallying point. Is that correct? Yes. I mean, it's a pretty improbable rallying point.

The facts are that he stood on the Senate floor for 25 hours, broke the existing filibuster

record, which was held by Strom Thurman, when he was opposing

the civil rights legislation. Remember, a Democrat opposing civil rights. And so he got a lot of

attention for this. Booker wasn't opposing any legislation or any bill. He was just sort of

meandering around all the things that make him angry about

the Trump administration. And yet so desperate Democrats are right now for, as you say, a rallying

point that, you know, you would think the legacy media would learn a lesson or two, but they were

just ecstatic about how he had infused the party with new energy,

et cetera, et cetera. The reality is, John, I think the Democrats really are right now at sea.

They don't have a leader. There's a tremendous battle going on right now between the younger

generation and the older generation about who really should speak for the Democratic Party.

The younger generation, let's talk about Chris Murphy in Connecticut or AOC in New York,

were furious that Chuck Schumer did a deal with Republicans and passed the budget bill,

which allowed the government to continue to function.

They wanted to go to war.
