So you're saying with Hilton Honors, I can use points for a free night stay anywhere?
**Rob** (0:04)
Anywhere.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:06)
What about fancy places like the Canopy in Paris? Yeah, Hilton Honors, baby. Or relaxing sanctuaries like the Conrad and Tulum?
**Rob** (0:13)
Hilton Honors, baby.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:15)
What about the five-star Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives? Are you gonna do this for all 9,000 properties?
**SPEAKER_3** (0:22)
When you want points that can take you anywhere, anytime, it matters where you stay. Hilton for the stay.

Senate GOP rebellion continues. Four dissidents, senators, joined Democrats to sink Trump's Save America Act again. Four Republicans join a man. We gotta know who these four Republicans are. Where's that story, terms like? I don't have this. That's page four, but page four. I don't have the page four with four Republicans, Rob.
It's not in the story. I'm on addendum. Let me go over here, maybe page four. Let me read it.
**Rob** (0:56)
It was the usual women, you know, Susan Murkowski.
**Pat** (0:59)
Oh, my bad. I have it. The rift within the Republican Party, and the four GOPs, and the Democrats, four times, okay, got it. Who are the four? The dissident did not budge. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Didn't he step down? Oh, he's stepping on end of the year. Thom Tillis of North Carolina once again voted against the legislation, which enjoyed the backing of the majority of Republican colleagues. Their vote was enough to derail the maneuver, dealing a fresh blow to President Trump and Congressional majority leader ability to maintain, ability to maintain party discipline within their own ranks. Republican attempt was to attach the safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act to nearly $70 billion out of budget reconciliation package intended to fund immigration. We know that one, but specifically the Save America Act. Adam, your thoughts on the story?
**Adam** (1:52)
So, it's very hard to get consensus.
**Pat** (1:55)
By the way, if the 51 the other way, Rob, they have it, right? Correct. If the four go the other way, they have it, they would have won.
**Rob** (2:01)
That's a breakdown. 48 yay, 15 nay.
**Adam** (2:04)
And California is one of the states that does not require voter ID, right?
So I mean, it's so hard to get consensus in this country. When you see people in the Democratic Party, even the Republicans, especially 75, 80, 85, 90% want voter ID, and then you just deny that ability. That's what just doesn't make sense. But back to the Spencer Pratt thing, this is the first I'm hearing that he's not even going to potentially make the runoff. Because when we were texting, I believe yesterday, it looked like he was number two, right?
**Rob** (2:34)
He did.
**Adam** (2:34)
And then this look at these, how many 25,000 ballots show up and he gets zero something fishy here. But I think there's a bigger story that what Spencer Pratt, I think in a weird way, this like reality star bad boy became the embodiment of hope and prayer and common sense in LA. But here's what I've learned. Sometimes, whether you're a person, whether you're a company, whether you're even a state, you have to hit rock bottom.
And we, in the amazing state of Florida, coming from Texas, we thought, all right, maybe California has reached rock bottom at this point, LA especially. They've reached rock bottom. And hopefully, when you're rock bottom, you can continue downward and then go to rehab or whatever that looks like, or you can completely change direction and clean up your life.
And what has come clear to me is LA, California, has unfortunately not hit rock bottom. And the reason for that is very simple. Trump is still in the White House.
Every single thing that this party does, unfortunately, is just anti-Trump. What's the one thing they tried to do to paint Spencer Pratt as the bad guy? They labeled him a MAGA extremist. This is in a situation where it's no party affiliation in these races. So unfortunately, despite the crime, the homelessness, the cost of living, the taxes, the woke trans agenda, they still vote for the communists or the Marxists. And who wants to push that a jet?
**Pat** (4:09)
Tom, talk to me about the VOTE-O-ID stuff.
**Rob** (4:12)
So the SAVE Act. So John Thune needs to be a little bit more brave. Here's what he was saying. Listen, the SAVE Act, I can't get it to a vote because of the filibuster.
You need 60 votes in the Senate to break a filibuster. What is a filibuster? It's endless debate.
You keep debating, keep debating, keep debating. You had the famous fake debate where Cory Booker somehow kept talking for 19 hours.
