my name is emery hanson, and i just wanted to say that i am a big fan of the united states senate. >> host: uh-huh. >> caller: i watch them weekly and sometimes daily. my goal in life is to become a senator and to break the record strom thurmond held in 1957 of the longest filibuster, 24 hours, 18 minutes. >> host: right. >> caller: and i would be very disappointed if i was unable to meet my goal, and i also think, you know, even if i never became a senator, these people have basically cut off the rights of the minority. it's the tyranny of the majority. and i think i've recently heard a speech by harry reid on your network, and i heard him compare himself to lyndon johnson. ..
