| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Politics by Faith. This is where we take the news of the day and we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day, but Ecclesiast, he says there's not the new under the sun. So thanks to being to get the true story. The true story today is Republican senators are the worst. They're just, I know, I'm sorry. I mean, uh, uh, the worst. |
| 0:25.9 | They're just, I know, I'm sorry, I mean, uh, uh, the news of the day is reconciliation bills and DHS ICE ICE funding and the SAVE Act and filibuster. |
| 0:32.3 | No, the story of the day is these Republican senators are just awful. |
| 0:38.1 | I know it's not much of a news flash, perhaps, but I would just like to, it's a little |
| 0:43.5 | commiserating here about how absolutely frustrating these people are. |
| 0:49.0 | They pretend like they're on your side. |
| 0:50.5 | They hide. |
| 0:51.2 | They hide behind the fat. |
| 0:52.4 | They're like, oh, we really want to do this |
| 0:55.1 | conservative thing that we said we want to do and you elected us for, but we need seven |
| 1:00.7 | Democrats. Oh. And then we say, well, there's actually a way where you don't need seven |

What do you, the analogy I used today was if there's a mountain, right? You need 60 votes to pass a bill. There's this big mountain. Oh, we've got to cross that mountain. We're not going to be able to do it. I'm like, okay. |
| 1:28.7 | But there's also this valley. |
| 1:30.7 | You can just walk right through. There's this big mountain. Oh, we've got to cross that mountain. We're not going to be able to do it. I'm like, okay. |
| 1:30.3 | But there's also this valley. |

| 1:46.1 | We can't get seven Democrats. Yeah, you don't need seven democrats just do this thing just get rid of the filibuster no i can't do that |
