Description

The Senate filibuster is one of the biggest things standing in the way of anti-voter suppression laws, raising the minimum wage and immigration reform. What is this loophole, and how does it affect governing today? #DailyShow #TrevorNoah #Filibuster Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Watch full episodes of The Daily Show: http://www.paramountplus.com/?ftag=PPM-05-10aei0b Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Trevor Noah and The Daily Show correspondents tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture.

Didn't they end the talking filibuster so that no one would have to listen to Ted Cruz try out his stand-up routine?

I see, so it is perfectly fine for the GOP to change the filibuster rules regarding the filling of Supreme Court justices, but heaven forbid the Democrats doing the exact same thing McConnell did!!!!! >:(

Hard to take a “scorched earth” threat seriously when it comes from a guy (Moscow Mitch) already standing on a pile of ashes.

The last time there was a filibuster on these topics in the 50s, there was no internet. This time, it's gonna be different. The whole world is watching.

Thank you Trevor! I was super confused about when the filibuster became what it is now. As I remember it, you had to stand there and talk, no breaks, and if you left the floor you were done! Imagine McConnell trying to filibuster like that! There definitely should be a rule that you can only talk about the debate at hand. No reading Green Eggs and Ham, and the rest of the Dr Seuss library, on the floor!

Revert to a speaking filibuster with the stipulation that they must remain ON TOPIC! That will really put their money where their mouth is...
