i'm not going to get user mitigated she's here for the saturday december
eighth edition of our show we are broadcasting mentally over the radio
what we know you can't channel take action news tv
to confine us right there was a busy talking right now with our own the
editor in chief of to gash in his charlie mitchell charlie dylan
some good great david so charlie everybody was looking at us on you tube
now can see
the face of those of the earth is uh... amazing baritone and i guess a charlie
hero handsome man
during your nahi already what reading about however i do want to put this out
with the face of this amazing voice and smart guy who's always on a recent
edison you to take action in stevie the trolley to set up a segment what
democrats are doing to try to speed things along in the u_s_ and i wanna
play prepares harry reid the senate majority leader the democratic leader
talking about
filibustering for her story read frightened thirteen
wilson
abused
railroad change hungary would performances
moon the sentencing
bruce morton has some weapons and central exactly what is the filibuster
monastery we have to
filibusters basically the ability of the minority party in the senate stop action
not legislation our nominees
by
taking anything from moving forward that dosent ab sixty votes uh... there's been
warmus over the past century
to limitless but essentially what it comes down to is if you don't have sixty
votes you can't move
anything that forces
in our forces a lot of the
rolls off the floor aidid needs a lot of those don't get any consideration in it
stops a number of things dead in their tracks
uh... something there
paid aggravates
whichever party is here
and region the majority of the given time
the republicans who will do about it when they were in the majority of
democrats were blocking president bush is judicial nominees
and harry reid in the senate democrats have been railing about
republican efforts to block virtually all of their agenda and they say they
were the shorty and we have a right to get
consideration of our bills
all we know
she area
this promising that he is going to bring
moral rules change when the senate convenes early next year and that will
save it
hi i believe it it isn't final yet but uh... it looks like it will
the opportunities to pull a bus trip a little take away the opportunity
or the minority
bolster what they call the motion to proceed to a pulp so right now
if you're in the minority but you have
forty votes short forty one votes you can't stop a bill
rates everything considered
david is just that it's not like in the movies you don't have to stand in the
well of the senate and and argue why distt move
basically a senatorial called it and say i have tried to this and so the bill is
stopped dead
they're gonna take away one step where you can't filibuster legislation
i think they're going to say you can still filibuster
you have to come to the poor you have to be jimmy stewart and stand on the floor
of the senate adn
make your case so widest bill should go port
and this is of course provoke howls of protest from the republican side
talked with her natural editor in chief of take actions charlie this effort to
try to streamline things of the senate to take more actions
i believe that something like you know thirty years ago the filibusters use
maybe three or four times the session now it's upwards of two hundred uh...
one of the onset that harry reid is able to
get this legislation through other any major popsicles that will be standing as
well
the obstacles are probably all of his own side and died
miscalculation of what the ramifications of this record debate what he's
proposing to do is to change the rules are simple majority vote
maltbie
precedent in the senate
stewards evolved over time has been the rules changes can be made but they need
sixty seven votes it needs uh... a super-majority
to patch and that is a big
based on the idea that the senate is quota a quota collegial institution of
all of that
an idea
that is very outdated it's uh... palace collegial as a bar fight these days so
um...
the idea that you could change the rules with sixty seven votes is is
it's really a non-starter because he can't get there
if you read goes forward with this three politics are vowing that they will
filibuster everything and that they will be indicted in opposing everything that
they will try to
stop the senate in its tracks
double billing
the the senate is creeping forward that's not a big change either
they are saying that there will be really serious repercussions
this goes forward
so that you do you also have a number of
outside groups and into the east there starting the pay attention to this um...
there were editorials over the past week in the u_s_ state
a for example in the washington post
newspaper said
we sympathize with the colour paul blocking the senate and and allowing the
legislative process to work but
believes go back to try to negotiate again try to
try to come up with something don't
up the whole process there are a lot of
observers or
very very nervous
that this will just create out up pitched war between the two parties have
absolutely nothing will get accomplished
john major's energy fatigue actions were talking with you on the saturday charlie
in speaking about peace more were two things the end in terms of the effort to
try to come up with some vino
to extend the bush tax cuts for ninety eight percent of americans and let them
go up on uh... the two percent of the wealthiest to make it to a two thousand
dollars or more
well we have trade
calls from the president and speaker paid over the past week uh...
bainer spoke on the phone and wednesday night i believe bike
things are basically no where in the the sharp dividing line is did the president
is insisting that the
that operate goes back up
maybe not all the way to wear was under the clinton administration but at the
top rate at the highest earners
raised that republicans have said no way on that all polish says
there's one issue on which i got up and take from this election it was on this
because i uh... very explicitly called for this
republicans have been categorically opposed to any rate increase
the problem for the republicans used it on their crowell off
everybody's rates are going to go up by january first if there is a good deals
you know the thing that they are grappling with internally within the
republican cockroaches
shep something to me a while rates to go up on two percent of people
and shave every ninety eight percent of people or whatever ob artery stick to
our position in single rate increased which in fact will be an iraqi decrease
for everybody so
it's really it's a sticky situation prevailed everybody's trying to figure
out the politics of it as well the clock is really taking
very quickly
something each that happened children at republicans have said something he's
tapping
you know this it would end
days are better hours and i would probably have a little bit more time
than that but
uh... it's coming down
what we're looking to see is it there
there could be some kinda copper by state
over into the new year and takes away the saluting generate
first deadline fraction
by i i would say under
almost any circumstances it appears that the
tax-rate aren't the opportu percent governors is going to go up lunch anyway
wat it's hard to see that will happen automatically or it will happen is part
of a negotiated deal tomlinson editor-in-chief to getting in charlie
great stuff is always and i think so much for being part of program we
appreciate it
great from metal by the way folks you know he hears great voices rate analysis
on the radio you can always get some on the podcast on itunes but you can also
email you can see it showing that you can see what this great may looks like
checkout our youtube channel take action news
t_v_ and you can uh...
you can see 'em right there
coming up in our next segment we'll talk about some of the foreign policy
actually as mike mccurry was watching a new timber saying that my chair somehow
sliding down because i am slipping out of frank what's going on here
uh... for anybody who wants to run
things that i was just the domestic policies as the bush tax cuts that's
that's playing impreza mama think again this is the amazing some really great
foreign looked great but uh... incredible foreign-policy challenges
that are on the obama administrations labor to talk about madden uh... and
what possibly demonstration could do if government of syria uses chemical
weapons on its own people could it have been that these wrote this week we'll
talk about it next to take action news
