Oh man the face of the senator next to him at the beginning is hilarious, you could just tell he's thinking all horrified "Oh crap..."
Probably his aide
It’s his aide
his facial expression looks like ted cruise, zodiac killer
Not this again 🙄🙄
He filibustered so hard, that the guy next to him went from yellow tie to green and back to yellow.
Sometimes I like to come back to this to remember the time a senator failed to eat a twix while talking for 13 hours straight.
you could literally recite the whole bible
You could recite a cooking book for all anyone cares
Someone read the whole dictionary
@@jake3736 lmao
@@preacherzay what fr? LMAO
@@iamsifo3610 YES YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT
so a senator can talk about his grandma's recipe on the Senate floor
Safi Agha Well as long as he doesn’t take any breaks while talking or break any other rules their good.
You can talk about anything as long as you keep talking
Ya gotta talk about the actual issue for at least three hours (I believe) before you can get on to the nonsense. As long as you take no breaks (no bathroom breaks either).
@@ebirds6760 can you talk about why akatsuki is the best waifu from log horizon if u go on long enough?
@@ChrisChoi123 probably
Whoa, he actually started his speech off explicitly saying he's beginning a filibuster. I didn't know that was even a thing.
Haven't you seen It's always sunny? Filibuster!
This guy said that the limits to filibustering is that he needed a bathroom break, well the guy who had a 24 hour filibuster just used a bucket, get on his level kid
Ha! Expressions of approval and disapproval are not allowed in the senate? You should see the House of Commons in the UK, old son
BenedictusFan well they can’t clap, only say „eeeerrrrr” or just be loud
House of Lords is quite similar; which is the upper house and a more like comparison.
Imagine any US President in a question period, oh my days, they would be eaten alive.
Echoing Teddy Graham, as the Senate is the upper house of Congress it tends to cling a bit more to tradition, and to have slightly stricter rules of etiquette.
I disagree with Rand Paul on economic issues, but I like how he impressively filibustered John Brennan's nomination. John Brennan oversaw mass surveillance and torture.
@@survivor030406lol do you?
@@survivor030406 and he spied on congress. He and Comey are two people that damaged both agencies reputations with illegal, partisan actions. Very dangerous precedent set sadly
@@bertlammens4392 He's not in charge of handling immense national security issues.
@@bertlammens4392 i would expect the cia director to have more email security than some random person on youtube
Ok commie
The fourth branch of government.., the filibuster.
No, that's the liars in media and all the people who helped rig the election
The fillibuster has helped both sides many times
Good god did he really spit the chocolate 🍫 out when giving a freaking filibuster lmao 😂
ANYTHING FOR FREEDOM.
No, I think it had a creamy centre.
It was Carmel falling
Not "god".
OMG he ate a milky way/snickers....gotta make SNL skit about that.
I dont think are aloud food, just snacks
There's a candy desk dedicated to the filibuster. Look it up.
He should resign for that
@@icebreaker9995 you should resign your American citizenship
This is almost as wild as the time Senator Cruz decided to quote Green Eggs and Ham in the middle of a Senate debate.
how does one filibuster for so long? Strom Thurmond did it for like 24 hours straight. I cant hold a conversation for more than a few hours, let along talk without anyone else talking for 13 hours. Can you just read The Lord of the Rings if you want?
Yes
@ZrACKs ultRa You have to at least talk about the real issues for about 3 hours before you can start the nonsense
24 hours and 18 minutes
Hell, my throat gets sore after just speaking for 30 minutes, so I would've been voiceless after 12 hours, of course in the addition of having soaked underpants.
and standing the entire time too
And people wonder why the government can’t get anything done...
These shitty rules are turning our country into the opposite of a democracy
its purposely designed to be sluggish so that would-be tyrants cant get out of control. the filibuster prevented the wall and immigration crackdowns
A Quispe that makes sense
@@fossilfountain I don’t think you understand how our government works.
@@fossilfountain good This is not a democracy
He is leaning on the desk. Therefore breaking the rules of the filibuster
He wasn't leaning he just had his hand on it
I think they removed that rule and they are allowed to do that now
no one getting the parks and recreation reference lmao
Parker Newlin no it was also a real rule
Parker Newlin Everything in the parks and rec episode was a real rule.
I hope senate stenographers get paid well.
YES LOL That part where the candybar decided to be funny on him... I died haha... poor Rand. Even candybars are against him haha!! I #StandwithRand !!!
Am I the only person who thinks ABC was just poking some innocent fun? so many people are all up in arms. I enjoyed it. ABC I liked this, it was a good compilation of humorous moments quite a few of which (such as the snack and the "limit on filibusters") got a good laugh out of me.
who the hell wants to watch a 13 hour filibuster??
How does he keep his voice??? Also keep in mind senators are allowed to have candy and water but not much else lol
Can we get an unedited video? I'd like to have it to sleep when I have anxiety.
Yes! Filibuster ASMR 😎
Did this nigga really start eating a candy bar lmao
which is against the rules too lol
Chris E how is that against the rules
Shaun Poland there are certain rules that a senator has to follow when doing filibuster. He must be standing and consume nothing but water. He can't go to bathroom either.
water or milk and can only go to the bathroom if a senate colleague asks a question (looong question) with out him yielding the floor
It is my understanding that they can drink milk and or water; and as for food, only hard candy is allowed.
You just know that Senator Paul laid an absolute massive after this.
It took him hours to eat a single twix, what a guy.
Hahahaha I legitimately laughed out loud when I read that!
I remember this back in high school. Rand is a badass 😂.
He is tho
"When there's a hunger insiiiiiide yooooou......." ;)
Did he not piss for 12 hours?
He has a catheter
Just use a bottle, all Amazon employees know this
@@HunkMine LOL, that'd be gold halfway through the speech he just starts pissing under the table thanking the janitorial staff for their excellently clean environment and thank you to the owners of the building for hiring them and.... etc.
Love him
Was he talking for a whole 13 hours
that’s how a filibuster works
besides the questions he took from other senators, yes
Yes Ma'am.
I am here after reading about him... 😂😂😂
Lol the dude to the right at 0:14 is just lookin like "*Sigh* oh my God."
Wait, HE IS EATING! For a filibuster to be effective you can only drink water or milk. *shines civics medal*
They’re allowed to eat candy I think
Hear, hear. Great comment.
He said slept in said of swept.
Lmfaoooo.... Wait, do they have to stand and are not allowed to hold their weight against the table when they do this??
Because then they’d be doing it for a week
2:10 wonder how he voted recently 🙃🙃🙃
So stunning.... so brave
It's fucking insane that this exists.
Like, it's not ok. I'm not American, but if you are you need to care about this.
This is criminal no other country on earth has this because it’s the most idiotic rule on the planet
I watched almost the entire CSPAN live airing... there ARE people that do care about what's going on.
This is how filibusters should be done.
This is like trolling
who came here after a John Oliver video to watch Rand Paul fail at eating candy?
i
0:58 Wdym by a debate? Isn't this called a monologue 😄
Expressions of disapproval not permitted? That didn’t age well.
must wear depends for next filibuster
It's a bunch of gibberish.
it looks unprofessional
That’s the point
who was presiding over the senate meeting here?
all of the lights
What would filibustering a filibuster look like?
It wouldn't happen lol
How would you debate a debate?
Are you suggesting we watch all 13 hours? Ain't nobody got time fo' that!
What do you hear? I hear that someone is buying 2 Billion bullets.
If a filibuster remains, then debate should center on top, NOT READING DR. SUSSE. NOT READING THE ENTIRE BIBLE. This is the problem. Once a senator has the floor his/ her argument MUST be on the merits of the bill in question. This constant distraction of reading extraneous material is just an obstructionist ploy. And that holds for both sides. This will facilitate a quicker end (hopefully). If points are redundant, the opposition can object that it is off point, where the speak must explain, then be cut it off. Finished. OR this option - THERE IS A TWO HOUR DEBATE LIMIT. FINA! DONE! After which a VOTE TAKES PLACE. Finally, we have to also revert back to the ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION of majority vote. Not this McConnell monstrosity of 2/3's. Again this applies to BOTH SIDES. DEM's and Reb's. Get on with it. If we continue to go this route, will be backing into the dark ages by the end of Bidens first term. DO THE GODDAMN JOB YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO. PASS LEGISLATION!
The worst part, this ain’t an onion skit
@Zach Zandi We know they can't. But they could have shown a more indepth reason as to why the filibuster began in the first place instead of Rand chewing on his Snickers bar.
lol. Same here :)
I love Senator Paul and remember when he did this. He is not perfect but is one of the few politicians in D.C. with honor and integrity. I hope to see him in the White House one day...soon! He is not his dad but is such a chip off the old block.
But he filibustered for 13 hours. That is quite dumb. Why doesn‘t he let other people talk as well? He is not the only one who can speak on the topic.
@@hdbrot The point of a filibuster is to stall for time long enough that the allotted time for a bill/appointment/other legislation to be voted on expires. If it expires, the bill is rejected. Sometimes, this tactic is done for good. Other times, not so much. In this case, the nominee for CIA director was a monster who advocated for and employed torture tactics. Unfortunately for Rand Paul, he got the job and served for four years under Obama from 2013 - 2017.
Who in the hell would dislike this?
Literally any Democrat
The editing makes in unwatchable.
Awsome
Fucking ridiculous
I thought they weren’t allowed to eat anything while filibustering, only drink water or milk.
and these are our leaders? face palm.
Pretty sure you can't eat during a filibuster
Placeholder you can't eat a meal but you can eat small snacks for like 5 seconds. Basically the idea is it has to be a full.speech
He spit it out
almost no one, especially people who have a job
This is just government yapping 😂
Why the fuck are they censoring this ? They are only showing clips
I'd like to thank the seantor from Utah for his expert constitusional analysis aswell
I thought you couldnt talk about anything that wasn’t relevant to the bill, that you couldnt eat, and that you couldnt lean or sit on anything
Rules have changed, and there was never a rule about the content. You could recite anything
REAL ENDURANCE
Rand and Ron are America loving people
This is true
Uh.....Studio C.......
My great-grandfather was Strom Thurmond's campaign MANAGER in the PRESIDENTIAL election of 1948.
are you racist
Lets calm down... We can't put a 13 hour video on TH-cam. 3 minutes may not show everything. This is the kings burger where you can have what you want but don't get crazy.
If i was filibustering I’d just wear a diaper fuck it
exactly how is this a " good thing & a brilliant strategical tactic " ? it looks like something a child would do in kindergarten ! also why is national health care regarded as bad by many Americans ? if U don't want it don't use it , simple . use private health care instead .
At least he has a nice voice
and let me guess... you think Fox News is great right?
Fucking ridiculous... Filibuster.. we actually pay congress to sit around and watch just 1 guy babble and ramble on for 12 hours about irrelevant bullshit and everyone else just sits there and watches him. I know this video is old but just wanted to see an example of what a filibuster was.
There's another fellow that likes this rule and uses it frequently.
Joe Biden said that the filibuster grossly overused last year - but, he didn’t mention that it was almost exclusively Democrats who used it.
Republicans used it once. Democrats used it 327 times.
I don't mind the filibuster but fucking hell can we atleast do something to try to make it easier to not pass no laws
The filibuster is too funny to get rid of
No he isn't. His father served in the military, Ron Paul is the true Libertarian hero not his son Randy
My names Rand to😀😀😀😀😀
These are my politicians?
Wtf
i love people that use the "bush used drone strike too" arguement. this was not about taking out imminent threats. in fact holder had argued that the threat didnt need to be imminent. so why would an american terrorist on US soil not just be arrested? drone strikes on terrorist in parts of the world that our troops cannot get to are a lot different than drone strikes in pasadena. what if dick cheney is our next president? do you want him to be able to use drone strikes on occupy?
This the best ABC news can do?
...At least, according to the Constitution I read. But hey, I guess maybe the one I'm holding here must be a little different version than the one they have....hmm.....Nah, me don't tink so.
Hey brought snacks! Bahaha
I do not mean to offend when I say you didn't pick up on how I meant to say it. You know what I mean about the Bush sentence, American citizen now, back then "collateral damage" (countless people caught in blasts). I'm not looking to argue, and we both disagree. Lets not waste time going at eachother, instead pray Congress does something to make it so something is done for the good.
Alguien de Chile?
Si now in usa
bro read 3 harry potter books
wtf did he eat
Mr Smith goes to Washington
Can he say anything he wants or does it need to be somewhat on topic?
Subjective news.... Who'da thunk.
