WEBVTT - How Schumer’s Weakness Paves the Way for Trump

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning across America. There is a revolt

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>ruing because government of the people, by the people, for

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the people is under direct assault from the depravities and

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the loniness of the world's richest man, who has slipped

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>his leash announced that all of us, well, we're little people.

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Every government employee who works for us now apparently must

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>justify their existence like an insect to elon in order

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to keep coming back to work every week. He has

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:44.639
<v Speaker 1>dehumanized millions of people, He has degraded more, and he

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>has destabilized all of America's society as an agent of

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. Yesterday in the Ogal office, there was more disgrace,

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>there was more madness, and every American must begin to

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>contemplate now very seriously the state of affairs in our country,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>which we will talk about today. Now Donald Trump is

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>an odious and dangerous man, but today we will not

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>talk about the terrible things that Donald Trump is doing.

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Beyond demanding that they stopped the crisis. For the opposition

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and all who oppose these obscenities is the appeaser in

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>Washington named Chuck Schumer, a very very foolish man that

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>he is maintained in a position of leadership by his

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>forty five colleagues is abjectly an act of submission and

0:01:54.120 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>surrender to Donald Trump, and it is appalling. Position in

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>America is unrepresented by the Democratic Party. When DNC Chairman

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Ken Martin announces that Tim Waltz and others will flood

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>red districts to give voices to the voiceless, let me

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>suggest that what those people are looking for is a voice,

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>not a racket. And what Chuck Schumer runs is a racket.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Hundreds of millions of dollars controlled by his political committees

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>have been mismanaged, misallocated, misspent, and incompetently used over recent years.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>There is no infrastructure, There is no nothing for anything.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And during the months ahead, what will become clear, even

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>during this time of revolt, is that the Washington DC

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>schumer crafts pockets remain empty because the American people will

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>have it no more. And so the question at hands

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is will AOC primary Chuck Schumer? And I hope she does.

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope many Senate Democrats are primaried. I hope many

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of you will think about running for office. And where

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 1>there is a Schumer crat, perhaps there should be an

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>independent candidate running in opposition to Trump and let the

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Democratic Party function as a decent coalition partner in the

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>places where the independent candidate would be stronger. But what

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>happened yesterday was foretold by Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer a

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago took to a rally and said this,

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.119
<v Speaker 1>and we will.

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>When Way well, when Way well, when we well, when

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>we well win, we will.

0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes Chuck winning. Chuck Schumer announced that he would absolutely

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>not surrender every ounce of leverage an ability to fight

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>back against Trump's assault by passing Trump's government funding bill.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>He said he would not do it. He held the

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>line for twenty to thirty minutes before his people, his

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>aids started leaking and saying we didn't really mean it.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>There are stories in Politico and other places about Republicans

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>before Chuck Schumer bowed yesterday, laughing at him, mocking him

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>at how weak he is, at how feckless he is,

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>how utterly silly. Chuck Schumer said, I'll fight Trump. Then

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he laid down and rolled over on his back and

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>announced on fighting Trump. Well. His aides announced he wasn't.

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Before he announced for us he surrendering to Trump. Here's

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.559
<v Speaker 1>what Donald Trump said, congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the right thing to guts and courage the big tax cuts,

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>LA firefixed debt ceiling bill, and so much more is coming.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>We should all work together on that very dangerous situation.

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>A non pass would be a country destroyer. Approval will

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>lead us to new heights again. Really good and smart

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning. Dj

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>T Donald John Trump on truth, social praising the surrender monkey.

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer and of course Gavin Newsome on the West

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>coast is busy, busy with Charlie Kirk, busy with Steve Bannon.

0:05:55.000 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Not confronting the fascists, and they are fascists, Donald Trump's

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>threats against Canada, not confronting Donald Trump's threats against NATO,

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>not confronting Donald Trump's threats against our allies, not confronting

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>his praise of the war criminal Vladimir and not confronting

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the disgrace in the Oval Office. Not confronting at all

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 1>in any way the mystery of the appeasements. No, let

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>us search instead for understanding. This is the wrong thing

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to do. It's a frightening thing to do. And because

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Schumer has surrendered and he has bowed to Donald Trump,

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>he has defenestrated the ability of the opposition party to

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 1>take control and force Elon Musk out. Chuck Schumer has

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>made that impossible. He has made the position of the

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 1>American opposition weaker and worse. He has delighted Donald Trump.

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.239
<v Speaker 1>It is time for those of us in this country

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>who love liberty, freedom to appreciate, however we see the world,

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever label we attached to ourselves. There is no label

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that has deeper meaning than American. And there is no

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>deeper calling right now than for there to be fighting

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Americans in our politics who are leading at the edge

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>of this coming revolt. Alexandria Acassia Cortes has ripped Chuck

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Schumer a new one rightly, so she has diagnosed the

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>problem of his weakness and his fecklessness.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 3>I think that what we need right now is a

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 3>United Senate Democratic caucus that can stand up for this

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>country and not vote for cloture and not vote for

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 3>this bill. And I think that the strength that we

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>have is in this moment reconciliation. And all of these

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Republicans do not need Democratic votes for that, they need

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 3>it for this. And so the strength of our leadership

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 3>in this moment is going to demonstrate the strength of

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 3>our caucus. And I cannot urge enough how bad of

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 3>an idea it is to empower and enable Donald Trump

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>and Elon Muskin this moment. It is dangerous and it

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 3>is reckless.

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning, and I'm Steve Schmidt. This is

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.400
