00:00There's a civil war brewing in the Democratic Party.

00:03And before I get into the nuts and bolts of reopening the government,

00:06I want to tell you about the absolute meltdown going on with the Democrats.

00:12The vote that busted the filibuster keeping the government closed on Sunday night

00:16included eight Democrats and 52 Republicans.

00:19We have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country.

00:24It's too bad it was slow, but we'll be opening up our country very quickly.

00:27Now, it's worth noting that two of those eight Democrats are retiring after next year,

00:32and the other six are not up for re-election in 2026.

00:36So that might explain their willingness to cross the aisle.

00:40All eight are also more ideological centrist,

00:43and their vote enraged the more progressive wing of the party,

00:47who believe after 40 days of a hot mess, they walked away with nothing.

00:52But the far-left members aren't training their anger at their colleagues.

00:55Instead, they have just one target, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who voted no.

01:01California Congressman Ro Khanna posted on X,

01:04quote,

01:05Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced.

01:08If you can't lead the fight to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing for Americans,

01:13what will you fight for?

01:14And some progressive Senate hopefuls planning to run in the 2026 midterms shared similar sentiments.

01:19Even Stephanie Shaheen, who's running for Congress in New Hampshire, she bashed the vote.

01:25Why is that significant?

01:27The sitting senator from the Granite State who voted yay is Jean Shaheen.

01:32Yeah, her mother.

01:33It's all more evidence that the party is more or less rudderless right now.

01:38The high fives and pats on the back last week after the elections have just

01:42not solved the problem of what the Democratic Party stands for or who's leading it.

01:47President Trump is threatening the BBC with a $1 billion lawsuit over doctored footage of

01:53the speech he gave on January 6th, 2021, before the Capitol riot.

01:57A whistleblower told the Telegraph newspaper that editors spliced together two clips of Trump

02:03where he says, quote,

02:04We're going to walk down to the Capitol and then

02:06I'll be there with you and we fight.

02:09We fight like hell.

02:10Now, those two statements occurred 50 minutes apart,

02:13but putting them together makes it look like he pretty directly instructed supporters to

02:18storm the Capitol.

02:19The manipulated footage was included in an episode of the program Panorama.

02:23BBC Director General Tim Davey and BBC News CEO Deborah Ternis have already resigned.

02:29In a letter obtained by The Post, the president's legal team has given the BBC until Friday at 5

02:33p.m. to, quote, retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made

02:39about President Trump.

02:40BBC Chair Samir Shah issued a statement to a UK Parliamentary Committee apologizing for the,

02:47quote, error in judgment that led to the clip.

02:49The International Olympic Committee is reportedly ready to ban transgender women from competing in

02:55all female categories.

02:57The Times of London reports that the change is set to be announced early next year.

03:00Under the current policy, trans women have been allowed to compete in the female category

03:05as long as tests reveal reduced testosterone levels.

03:08But the final decision has always rested with the individual sports.

03:12Now, exactly how that policy will be changed?

03:16Unclear at the moment.

03:17In fact, an IOC spokesperson denied that a decision has even been made.

03:21They did confirm to The Post, however, that the IOC conducted a science-based review

03:26of the athletic advantages of competitors who are born biologically male.

03:30The findings of that study were presented in a closed-door meeting last week.

03:34The big question now is whether these new rules, if they are released in the coming months,

03:39would be enforced for the Winter Olympics in Italy that begin this February.
