- [Paul] In a Senate split 51 to 50,

one of the only waysthe Democrats can pass

extremely controversial laws

would be to abolish the filibuster,

which gives the minority it's only way

to block those changes.

- If the filibuster goesaway, if in a tied Senate

the Democratic partyis able to ram through

a radicle agenda that is out of sync

with the American people

without deliberation, without debate.

- [Paul] At a Heritage Foundation webinar,

Binion discussed what might possibly pass

only if the filibuster goes away.

- Increased federalgun control legislation

is on President Biden's agenda

and it definitely falls into the category

of legislation that may enjoy 51 votes,

but could not overcome afilibuster or extended debate.

- [Paul] Same goes for amnesty

for the millions of illegalimmigrants in the US,

and a hot-button issuelike climate control.

- Climate change legislation enjoys

unanimous support on the left,

but it enjoys unanimousopposition on the right.

- [Paul] Since thefilibuster's been around

for a couple of centuries,Democrats in the past,

including the new majority leader,

defended it as sacred.

- Senator Schumer asked his colleagues

to quote, protect thesacred checks and balances

at the core of the republic.

- [Paul] Schumer realized this week

he doesn't have the votesto kill the filibuster

right now, but won't rule out

trying to eliminate it in the future.

He's hinted at it, much like the last

Democrat majority leader,Senator Harry Reid.

Here's Schumer from August.

- [Chuck] We have the moral imperative,

an imperative to the people of America

to get a whole lot doneif we get the majority,

which god willing we will,and keep it in the House

and Biden becomes President.

And nothing is off the table.

We will do what it takes to get this done.

- [Paul] If that includeswiping out the filibuster

and passing red hot lawsby a vote of 51 to 50,

Binion fears what itwill do to the nation.

- I think it will further divide us,

further inflame our country

and I think that the policyoutcome could be devastating.
