1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: St oightside, Richard Arnold, Good morning. What do you make

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: so the Democrats? I was mentioning Schumer before, but things

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: things seem ripy at the moment.

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: Are they Dems in disarray? Yeah, it's a brutal reality

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: that they're facing. According to this new polling out today

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: and the polling that was taken before the Democrats caved

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: and back the Republican temporary spending. With this humor reversal,

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: a lot of Democrats are saying they should have shut

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: the government down more on that than the tick. But

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: as CNN poll puts, the democrats favorable rating at a

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: record low just twenty nine percent. This is the lowest

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: ever reported for Democrats in the survey they first started

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: to ask about some thirty plus years ago. It shows

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: the party's favorability has dropped by about twenty points in

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: just four years. So Democrats are scrambling to find some

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: unity in dealing with Trump's second term and all the

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: chaos that is bringing Republican favorability by the way, thirty

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: six percent. So Polly's not the most popular folks around

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: right now, are they? Many Democrats are saying their party

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: should do more to stand up to Trump, and that

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: is an enormous shift from the Trump presidents he back

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. It's interesting to see the switch here.

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Seventy four percent of Democrats said their party should work

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: with Republicans to try to get things done for the

25
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: benefit of the country. Now very different, fifty seven percent

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: saying the Democratic Party should work to stop the Republican agenda,

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: which brings us to what just happened in that budget

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: battle you mentioned, where Republicans pushed through a temporary spending

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: plan without even talking to Democrats. They needed to get

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: a handful of Democratic votes to get this thing passed,

31
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: a measure that will provide some more money for border

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: control in the Pentagon, but little for anything else. The

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumann first said he would not

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: vote for the Republican plan, and most Democrats seem to

35
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 2: agree with that stance.

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 3: I think they will be hugely upset and well justified.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: You don't stop the bully by handing all your lunch money,

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: and you don't stop authoritarian president by giving him more power.

39
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: It would be a capitulation to the Trump style of democracy,

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: which is the movement of democracy to dictatorship.

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: The right thing to do is not for this institution

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: behind me to give up for six months all of

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: its power.

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Senator Curry Booker is speaking lastly. But then their leader,

45
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: Juck Schumer did that complete reversal and back the Trump bill, saying.

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 4: As bad as the CR is, I believe allowing Donald

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: Trump to take even much more power via a government

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: shutdown is a far worse option. A shutdown would allow

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: Doze to shift into overdrive.

50
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: Well, that's an argument you can make, but that is

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: not the sentiment in much of the party right now,

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: As says Democrat Alexandria Casio QUOTEZ, I think.

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 4: There is a deep sense of outrage.

54
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: And the trail by their own leadership. The top Democrat

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: in the House, the kiing Diffe's, was asked about the

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: shumor backtrack.

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: Is the time for new leadership in the Senate? Next question?

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: Have you lost confidence in him? The fact that you

59
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: guys see this so differently?

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: Next question, so we're next for Democrats party divided?

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: Ron, give me the update on the Tondos boy.

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: One hell of a night through a swath of Midwestern

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: and southern states. He dozens of tornadoes hitting, battering Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas.

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Missouri really is one of the worst affected. As one

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: man recorded part of what was going on, was you

66
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: on that degree?

67
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: Oh my god?

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: Well, near Saint Louis, the storm's hit through the night

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: and truckdriver dan Loncren sheltered in the cab of his

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: semi had.

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Last flying everywhere in my face and my arms and everything.

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: He had very lucky escape because his track was slammed

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: by another truck that was blown right over by the

74
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: fierce winds and into his vehicle. Then he washed us.

75
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: The local petrol station right near him basically was obliterated.

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: There was tons of people up in the store that

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: would just bring around crying and screaming, and he's pre scary.

78
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

79
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: The small center of Taylortown in Mississippi also has seen

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: a lot of devastation, and the still mornings continue MiCT.

81
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: So you win State Richard on the state side. By

82
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the way, a little bit of court action around trump

83
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: UH judges ordered several federal government agencies to reinstate some

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: probationary employers that got rolled. They apply to Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior,

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the Treasury, and Veterans affairs. Another court case were pending

86
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of state attorneys general taking Trump to court

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: over the Education Department staff as thirteen thirteen hundred of

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: them been doged. But this is going to be an

89
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: interesting one, and I think Trump's going to lose this.

90
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: The Department's authority to administer does not override Congress. Congress

91
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: sets up the department, and because Congress authorized it, you

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: can't override Congress. So I think that's going to go

93
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: to court and Trump will lose that one. But we'll

94
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: watch and wait with interest.

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,799
