0:37

them out linked down below okay folks

0:40

let's talk about this so first of all

0:41

all of this is coming as a result of the

0:44

recently passed voting rights bill in

0:46

the house of representatives the voting

0:48

rights bill would do a few things it

0:50

would expand early and absentee voting

0:52

which usually means mail-in voting right

0:54

which some folks say favors the left and

0:57

the house of representatives is

0:58

obviously controlled by democrats this

1:00

bill would make it easier for people to

1:02

comply with state voter id laws make

1:04

automatic voter registration the

1:06

national standard and give people who

1:08

are incarcerated the right to vote after

1:10

they finish their sentences the bill

1:12

would also make or reinstate this

1:14

automatically the bill would also make

1:16

election day a national holiday

1:18

potentially allowing more folks who have

1:20

to work throughout the day the

1:21

opportunity to have time to go vote in

1:23

person if they so choose to the voter

1:25

rights bill has passed the house of

1:27

representatives but has not passed the

1:29

senate that's because it's standing in

1:30

the way of or it's being held up by

1:32

potentially the filibuster so what is

1:35

the filibuster and how does it work okay

1:36

quick explanation here's how it works

1:38

here's the voting rights bill it's a

1:40

bill on capitol hill it's just a bill

1:42

now in order to pass a bill you need

1:44

three things one you need the house of

1:46

representatives to pass it with 51

1:48

percent you need the senate

1:52

to uh pass the same bill usually they do

1:55

this through a reconciliation amendment

1:57

so that they have exactly the same bill

1:59

but that part doesn't matter you need

2:00

the senate to pass it and then once

2:03

these two things happen you need the

2:05

potus or the president of the united

2:06

states to sign the bill obviously house

2:09

of representatives controlled by dems

2:10

and potus they both want this bill so

2:12

obviously we'd expect that to pass

2:14

problem is the senate now technically

2:16

the senate only needs a simple majority

2:19

or 51 percent to actually pass a bill

2:21

since it's controlled 50 percent by

2:23

democrats and 50 by republicans kamala

2:26

harris the vice president would come in

2:27

break the tie for democrats and the bill

2:29

would pass the problem is in order to

2:31

end debate on the bill you actually have

2:34

to jump over here and do something known

2:36

as invoking cloture but invoking cloture

2:39

requires a 60 majority vote the extra 10

2:43

percent though are republicans who don't

2:45

want this bill to go through so why

2:46

would they vote to end debate now there

2:48

are two types of filibusters there's a

2:50

silent filibuster where you just

2:51

threatened to filibuster and then

2:53

there's an active talking filibuster

2:55

where you just go read like green eggs

2:56

and ham or something crazy now uh this

2:59

this is sort of the dynamic of what the

3:01

heck of the filibuster is so it fills

3:02

you in on this now the filibuster is a

3:04

rule and the rule does not take 60 days

3:08

to change in fact the rule could be

3:10

passed with a simple majority vote the

3:13

problem is you would need all democrats

3:15

on board to actually get this rule

3:16

passed and modified and you'd need joe

3:19

biden on board as well to sort of rally

3:21

the democrat troops and and make them

3:22

want to change this now initially during

3:24

the campaign joe biden said he would not

3:27

vote to change the filibuster remember

3:28

joe biden was a senator uh for a very

3:30

long period of time and he actually

3:32

believes in the institution of the

3:34

filibuster that the filibuster should

3:35

maintain and it's sort of a balance of

3:37

power in america and to some degree

3:40

imagine what happens if there is no

3:42

filibuster then what could democrats do

3:45

well they could do the same thing that

3:46

republicans could do if they ever took

3:47

control again which they might this

3:49

november who knows but democrats could

3:52

just pass through

3:53

tax increases through let's say the

3:55

build back better plan without any kind

3:57

of check on their power you could see

3:59

the voting rights act passed who knows

4:02

you could see cannabis legislation

4:03

passed you could see more green energy

4:05

legislation passed there are a lot of

4:06

democratic priorities that you could see

4:08

past without the check of balance of

4:10

essentially republicans now some say hey

4:12

democrats have control of all three uh

4:15

positions of power they should be able

4:16

to have that unchecked power but via the

4:19

rules of uh via the closure rule into

4:21

the filibuster rule that is untrue they

4:23

technically only have control of the

4:24

house of representatives and the

4:26

presidency but they technically do not

4:27

have full control of the senate which is

4:29

what they desperately want so that way

4:31

they can get their action through rather

4:33

than sitting still mated like we usually

4:35

see now joe biden again he was anti

4:38

ending the filibuster but he's recently

4:40

u-turned now he wants the filibuster to

4:43

be ended and he's joining chuck schumer

4:45

who has promised to hold a vote on

4:47

changing the filibuster rules on monday

4:49

the two biggest roadblocks though are

4:51

kirsten cinema and joe manchin joe

4:53

manchin's a little bit unknown in terms

4:55

of what he would do joe biden gave a

4:57

speech on thursday and says the

4:59

honest-to-god answer is i don't know

5:00

whether we can get this done without

5:02

ending the filibuster rule we're

5:04

changing the filibuster rule joe manchin

5:05

responded to this and said yeah the

5:07

president gave a very passionate very

5:09

good speech it was very human it was

5:10

very touching but when asked if he

5:12

changed his mind in the filibuster he

5:13

said joe biden did an excellent job so

5:15

we don't really have a direct answer

5:16

from joe manchin as to whether or not

5:18

you participate in changing the

5:19

filibuster rules but here's a very

5:21

direct answer democrat kirsten cinema of

5:23

arizona

5:24

who's needed a long joe manchin to get

5:26

this new rule changed sparked outrage

5:28

after she said she'll never vote to end

5:30

the filibuster she says i will not

5:32

support separate actions that worsen the

5:34

underlying disease of division affecting

5:37

or infecting our country

5:39

yikes big one this has led some of her

5:41

packs political action committees

5:43

originally supporting kirsten cinema to

5:45

do a complete 180 and now take that

5:48

money that is usually allocated for for

5:50

the candidate and direct that money

5:52

towards grassroots organizations who are

5:54

leading the fight to hold kirsten cinema

5:56

accountable

5:58

so uh just solely based on kirsten

6:00

cinema it does not look promising that

6:01

the filibuster would it would be ended

6:04

if the filibuster did get ended uh then

6:06

we would have the uh belief that okay

6:07

well democrats are probably going to

6:08

push through a lot of policies on green

6:10

energy uh possibly inflationary spending

6:12

and higher taxes via the buildback

6:13

better plan uh i would say that fears of

6:16

higher taxes and higher inflation would

6:18

probably both compound and lead the

6:20

market to fall substantially more so i i

6:23

would be under the impression that

6:25

ending the filibuster would be bad for

6:26

the market not a bullish thing however i

6:28

also don't expect that it would actually

6:30

end up going through what i do expect

6:32

though is that you're going to open up
