Coming up, the search for the real president might be over. His first name is Joe, but his last name isn't Biden.

Why I don't trust that little ogre Fauci? And writer and filmmaker Lauren Southerne has written a children's book. This is the Dineshthessuza podcast.

America needs this voice. The times are crazy and the time of confusion, division and lies. We need a brave voice of reason, understanding and truth. This is the Dineshthessuza podcast.

So who is the real president of the United States?

This is an open question because if there's one thing I think that people agree on, it's not Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is being led rather than leading himself. Someone else is calling the shots. But who is that?

Not just who's directing Biden, but who is sort of running the country? Who holds the power? Who is the person in whose hands the critical future decisions of this country depend?

I think to get the answer, we have to watch this short clip. Here we go. Listen.

Yeah, that's it. You know, his first name is Joe, but his last name is not Biden. It's Joe Manchin by a kind of interesting quirk of history.

This man, this Democrat, this Democrat from a Trump state, namely West Virginia, finds himself the true kind of power broker in America.

And recently Joe Biden, I'm sorry, Joe Manchin has written an article which is a kind of a warning to Democrats.

This article appeared in the Washington Post and it begins on a troubling note for the left in the title alone.

It says, Joe Manchin, I will not vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster. Boom.

So here is Manchin saying, listen, there's been a lot of talk and lots of people on the left and in the media have been trying to push me to say that if I won't abolish, won't vote to abolish the filibuster, I'm going to sort of create enough holes in the filibuster that all kinds of things could kind of get past the filibuster.

But the crushing aspect of Joe Manchin's op-ed is I'm not going to vote either to abolish it or to weaken it.

In other words, the filibuster will stay pretty much as is. Now, this means, if you think about it, that the left's hope of overturning the filibuster, getting by the filibuster, sneaking past the filibuster.

And thus, paving the way to do a whole bunch of other things has now been delta severe blow. Why? Because the Republicans are holding a firm on this. There's no Republican votes to be had on this.

The Democrats need all 50 of their own plus Kamala Harris. And so, even a single defection. Now, Christian cinema, the Democratic Center from Arizona has also said she will not support getting rid of the filibuster, but Manchin statement by itself kind of doesn't.

And there goes Biden's hope for a meaningful or any significant gun control legislation. There goes the idea of passing HR1 by getting around the filibuster.

There goes the idea of doing a whole bunch packing the court. Goodbye. Can't do it. Because again, once again, you need to get by the filibuster to do any of these things. But if that all were significant and bad enough from the left's point of view, Manchin goes further.

He starts talking about in the op-ed, this is in the text itself, the reconciliation process. And this is a kind of a budgetary tool that allows bills to be passed by a simple majority for things that are not directly tied to the budget. You can just go with a simple majority. You don't need more than that.

And Manchin goes, I'm not okay with that either. I don't like this idea of Democrats ramming things through just because they've got 50 plus Kamala Harris. I might support some of these Biden measures on the merits, but that doesn't matter.
