1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Republicans came out swinging I'm being sarcastic. No, they laid 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: down and voted with other Democrats and a Senate vote 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: sixty seven to thirty to screw you out of over 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: one trillion dollars that they claim is going to go 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: for infrastructure. How many Republicans sold out? A lot eighteen 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: Republicans sold out on this radical Democratic infrastructure plan. Now 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: it's not just that they sold out, it's what we know. 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: We know that these eighteen Republicans did not read the 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill. We're talking about Lindsay Graham, We're talking about 10 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney, We're talking about Orn Hatch, We're talking about, 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of Republicans that just went along 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: with it, including Mitch McConnell. These eighteen Senate Republicans did 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: not read the bill. Now, I am not criticizing Democrats, 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: and I want to make that very clear right now, 15 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: because I knew they were going to vote for this. 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: I expected it from them. It was Republicans jobs, and 17 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: these are the people of the swamp to read the 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: damn bill to do their job. Now, of the eighteen 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans, it sold out, seventeen of them voting Wednesday 20 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: night to advance that one point to trillion dollars radical 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill. And it's not infrastructure. Know that this has 22 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: nothing to do with infrastructure. It's a disguise in the 23 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: name of infrastructure, because who could, of course be against infrastructure. 24 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: The Senate voted to invote Culture or advance HR thirty 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: six eighty four, the legislative vehicle for the one point 26 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: to trillion dollar infrastructure bill. The vote featured Republican and 27 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: Democrats support for the bill, and then the Senate voted 28 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: sixty seven to seven or sixty seven to thirty two, 29 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: seventeen Republicans in faven voking culture on the bill, moving 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: it forward. All of them voted for this procedural vote 31 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: without reading the bill. Let me say that again, all 32 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: of them voted for the bill to move forward without 33 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: reading the damn bill. Why because it would have been 34 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: impossible for them to read the bill that does not 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: exist yet. That's how I know that I'm factually correct. 36 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Now the media is not telling you this. There is 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: no bill yet. Let me say it again, there is 38 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: no bill yet. They just move forward with one point 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: to trillion dollars in port bill spending screwing you in 40 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: the name of infrastructure. And none of them read the 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: bill because it's impossible for them to read a bill 42 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: that does not exist. The bill has still not been 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: written despite months of negotiations, So they're voting on a 44 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: bill that they don't even know what the bill says 45 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: yet because the bill hasn't been written yet. Now, the 46 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans who voted with the Democrats on a one 47 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: point to trillion dollars lush fund include, and I'm gonna 48 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: getam every name, because many of you, depending on where 49 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: you live, need to know what's happening here. Roy Blunt Missouri, 50 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Richard Burr North Carolina, Shelley Moore West Virginia. Bill Cassidy 51 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: Republican Louisiana. Mike Crappo, I love that guy's name, Republican, Idaho, 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham South Carolina. Mitch McConnell Kentucky Murkowski, Alaska, Rob Portman, Ohio, 53 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: Jim Reich Republican, Idaho, Mitt Romney, Republican, Utah, Tom Tillis Republican, 54 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: North Carolina, Todd Young, Republican Indiana, Chuck Grassley, Republican. You 55 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: know Chuck Grassley, Idaho. John Hoven Republican, Kevin Kramer, Republican 56 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: North Dakota, North Dakota, and Susan Collins, Republican from Maine. Now. 57 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Senator Mike Rowns, Republican South Dakota was absent but signal 58 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: that he would vote yes as well to advance the legislation. 59 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Even though no one knows what the legislation is. No 60 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: one's read the legislation because it hasn't been written yet. 61 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: These Senate Republicans voted to advance a bill even though 62 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: lawmakers haven't even drafted a physical bill yet. I want 63 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: you to think about how corrupt that is. That's like 64 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: you going out and buying a house and you don't 65 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: even know what the house looks like, and there aren't 66 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: even plans for the house, and you're just buying something 67 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: without knowing what it's going to be. There may be 68 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: no bathrooms, there may be no bedrooms, or may not 69 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: be a closet. You don't even know how big the 70 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: house is. But you just spend a bunch of money 71 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: buying a house, an object that doesn't exist, with no 72 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: plans for it. You don't even know what the plan 73 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: is for the future of it. Think about how messed up. 74 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: That is, that is exactly what these Republicans did. How 75 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: hard is it for these Republicans to stand up and 76 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: say no, not just no, but hell no, we don't. 77 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: We don't have bills that aren't bills. We don't vote 78 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: to advance something when we don't even know what it is. 79 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: That's not what we do. So when we have a 80 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: bill that we can actually put our hands on and 81 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: we can read the bill, we will then vote to 82 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: move forward on a bill. But until that happens, call 83 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: us old school. We don't advance legislation when there is 84 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: no legislation to actually advance. That is what a normal, 85 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: insane society would do. That is what normal and good 86 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: conservatives would do. But remember this is about screwing you 87 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: out of one point two trillion dollars trillion, not billion, 88 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: not million, trillion. This is how they do it. There 89 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: is no bill, there's not even a draft of a bill, 90 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: and they're voting on moving legislation forward. Why would you 91 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: do this because you don't want people to see what's 92 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: in the bill. This goes back to something happened and 93 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: you guys will remember this. Remember when Nancy Pelosi said, 94 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: we won't know what's in the bill until we pass 95 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: the bill referring to Obamacare, and people thought it was 96 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: like the most abusive, egregious statement ever by an elected official. 97 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: And it worked, and she still kept her job in hell, 98 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: became the Speaker of the House again. Remember that. Once 99 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: Democrats figured out that you can actually move legislation forward 100 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: by naming it something or demanding that it moved forward 101 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: without you even knowing what it is, without even knowing 102 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: what's in it, without having time to read what's in it, 103 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: then you can pull this type of crap off. And 104 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. The White House is very excited 105 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: about this infrastructure bill because they know they're about to 106 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: get their hands on one point through two trillion dollars 107 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: import real spending that they can do whatever the hell 108 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: they want to do with it. They're fired up, like 109 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: they're pumped. Now. We don't have a copy of the bill, 110 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: we don't have a bill, it hasn't been written yet, 111 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We're fired up. Listen to what Jensaki had 112 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: to say at the White House well part of his 113 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: effort to lift up and talk about his by American 114 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: agenda as well as the infrastructure package. Finally, I just 115 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: wanted to note that after additional engagement with a bipartisan 116 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: group yesterday, we're enthusiastic about getting the Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan 117 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: across the finish line. Confident we'll be there soon. We're 118 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: encouraged this morning by positive comments by Senator Romney. Our 119 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: team remains hard at work, as do a number of 120 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: the supporters on the hill. With that go ahead, Alex, 121 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 1: I love this, and we're really thankful for Mitt Romney. 122 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this is Mitt Romney, by the way, is 123 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: auditioning for his next job. I want you to understand 124 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: what Mitt Romney's doing right now. Mitt Romney's afraid he's 125 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get reelected. So what he's 126 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: doing is he's planning his next job with a Democratic administration, 127 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: and he wants to be an ambassador. So that's what 128 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: he's setting himself up for right now. He's playing the 129 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: ambassador game. And that's why he's working so diligently against 130 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the Republican Party because I think he knows that there's 131 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: not a sane Republican that's going to get in the 132 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: White House that would ever appoint him to an ambassadorship, 133 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: but a lot of Democrats would because he's a useful 134 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: idiot for them. It's the same thing we saw with 135 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Flake. Now he's gonna you know, oh, it's being 136 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: an ambassador, right, you screw the Republicans. Hey, we'll give 137 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: you a job. We'll give you a powerful, important job 138 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: in our ambassadorship program, and you'll be a great voice 139 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: for us around the world. That's how you play this game. 140 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: And that's what Mitt Romney's doing. He's playing his exit 141 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: strategy into another high ranking government official position that is 142 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: an appointee of the president United States of America. So 143 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: when you hear them say this, know why they're saying this. 144 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: This is why it's being set, plain and simple. Now 145 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: they're also excited about it because there's zero accountability. We 146 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: don't know what's in the bill. They don't care because 147 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: this means we can just start spending money on whatever 148 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: the hell we want to spend money on. This doesn't 149 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: have to go for structure either. If you think this 150 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: is going to go for infrastructure, you're not paying attention. 151 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: This does not have to go for infrastructure. If you 152 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: don't believe me, when we let you hear what an 153 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: actual senator had to say about infrastructure, infrastuctstruce us to 154 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: be roads and things like that. No, no no, no, no, no, no, 155 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: we're not doing that. Chuck Schumer just came out talking 156 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: about this infrastructure package and he says I will not 157 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: pass it, however, unless it has a reduction and carbon pollution, 158 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: which actually has nothing to do with bridges and roads. 159 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: We feel an urgency to get it done. We know 160 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: that we can't let this moment pass us by. It's 161 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: our time to act, and as majority leader, I have 162 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: made it clear I will not pass an infrastructure package 163 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: that does not reduce carbon pollution at a scale commensurate 164 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: with the urgency of the climate crisis. We face plane 165 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: and simple, and that's what Democrats intend to do. We're 166 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: united in taking on the climate crisis. As we move 167 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: forward with a bold infrastructure plan, the Jobs and Family Plan, 168 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: and through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Budget recon 169 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: Reconciliation Bill, the Senate will make our largest investments to 170 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: tackle the climate crisis and environmental justice ever ever in 171 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: our nation's history. We're going to act in a bold 172 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: and comprehensive way to reduce emissions, make our infrastructure resilient, 173 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: create the green jobs of the future. The three legs 174 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: of the stool that Joe Biden has so brilliantly put 175 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: together in his plan include climate, economic justice for communities, 176 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: particularly communities of color that have been left out, and jobs, 177 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: good paying jobs. And in so many instances, like in 178 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: the Clean Cars for America proposal, which I was proud 179 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: to author in President Biden put into his plan, we 180 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: have union support, We even have some industry support. It's spreading. 181 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: Everyone knows the crisis. It's only the people with their 182 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: head in the sand or some of our Republican colleagues 183 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: who are in the palm of the oil, gas and 184 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: coal industry who don't realize it, or who don't want 185 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: to realize it. But the rest of the world and 186 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the country does, and so we're going 187 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: to work to establish the re established the US is 188 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: the global leader in the fight against climate crisis. Put 189 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: our nation on a path to meet our president's bold 190 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: commitment to reduce emissions by fifty percent in twenty thirty. Now, 191 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 1: I played that for you, and I literally had to 192 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: muzzle myself, right. I played that for you and had 193 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: to just muzzle myself to not interrupt, because I wanted 194 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: you to understand the dynamic of what you just were told. 195 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: This is not a climate bill based on what he 196 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: just said. This is a green New Deal bill. This 197 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: is a anti oil and gas bill. This is a 198 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: we must mandate certain things happen when it comes to 199 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: put green jobs. How did the infrastructure bill become green jobs? 200 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: Somebody can explain that to me. I'd love to hear it. 201 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, really, how do we get to 202 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: this point? Can someone explain that to me? Because everything 203 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: that Schumer was just talking about, saying it will not 204 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: pass unless we have all of this in it has 205 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: nothing to do with infrastructure. It's a hardcore leftist agenda, 206 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: a green agenda, green jobs, green this, green that, green, 207 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: everything else that's not infrastructure. But hey, when you advance 208 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: a bill without a bill even being written, I guess 209 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: you can do whatever the hell you want to do 210 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: in that bill and make it a Green New Deal 211 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: bill and just name an a infrastructure bill and spend 212 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: one point to trillion dollars on it. Nothing that he 213 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: just said actually dealt with roads. I go back just 214 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. Listen to just a couple of different points. 215 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: He made economic justice for what communities, particularly communities of 216 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: color that have been left out. So we're doing economic justice, 217 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: particularly for communities that have been left out. Let's let's 218 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: start with that. Does that have anything to do with infrastructure? 219 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Does that have anything to do with bridges and roads? 220 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: Economic justice for communities, particularly communities of color that have 221 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: been left out. He, by the way, really really cares 222 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: about that point. You want to know why, because he 223 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: slammed his fist down on the podium. You can hear 224 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: that that weird, you know, muffled sound of banging. Climate, 225 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: economic justice for communities, particularly communities of color that have 226 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: been left out. And jobs, good paying jobs. Now the 227 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: infrastructure built with these good paying jobs, what are they 228 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: going to be in because it's not going to be 229 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: apparently in building roads. So so where's the money going? 230 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: Are we going to start another cylinder two point zero? 231 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: Are we going to do these green jobs that we 232 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: did under Obama? That then all of a sudden, the 233 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: rich people at the top of the country make all 234 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: the money if these companies, I should say, and then 235 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: after they make all of their money, then the jobs disappear, 236 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: after they have all their casts and the job just disappear, 237 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: that the companies go bankrupt and they shut it down, 238 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: just like we did with the Obama administration. Is that 239 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: how this works? If you want to get into a 240 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: really good business right now, this is probably the business 241 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: you need to get in, right Just start some green 242 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: job bs, all right, just start it, go for it. 243 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: There's no downside to it. There's no way you can 244 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: lose on it. They've got one point two trillion dollars. 245 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: Grab all the money and get your hands on Grab 246 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: it now, because that's that's what this administration is doing. 247 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: And it's not just I expect this from this administration. 248 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: I did not expect this to come from all these 249 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: scumbag Republicans who joined them. I will go back through 250 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: this list. These are the Senate Republicans who voted for 251 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: the democrats one point two trillion dollar bill that hasn't 252 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: even been written. Roy Blunt Missouri, Richard BYRD North Carolina 253 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Shelby Shelley Moore West Virginia, Bill Cassidy Louisiana, Mike Krappo Idaho, 254 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham South Carolina, mitts McConnell, Kentucky, Alasta Murkowski Arkansas 255 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: Rob Portman, Ohio, Jim Reisch Idaho, Mitt Romney, Utah, Tom 256 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: Tillots North Carolina, Todd Young Indiana, Chuck Grassley Idaho, John 257 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: Hoven North Dakota, Kevin Kramer, North Dakota, Susan Collins Maine. 258 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: All of them voted for a bill that you don't 259 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: even know what's in it. Nine Senate Republicans, by the way, 260 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: have continued to negotiate with the Democrats and President Joe 261 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: Biden's administration on this bill that would grant Biden his 262 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: most significant legislative victory since he passed the one point 263 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: nine tree in dollar coronavirus package, which didn't go to coronavirus. 264 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: The legislation also likely to lead to the passage of 265 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: the democrats three point six trillion dollar reconciliation package, which 266 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: includes climate change carve outs, boosted welfare benefits to help 267 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: them win the midterms, and tax cuts mostly for Democrats 268 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: and Democratic states. Senator Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, 269 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, Joss Holley, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Bram said 270 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: they could not vote to advance the bill, believing they 271 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: could not add more detonations thirty trillion dollar deficit. Who 272 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: cares though, right, So let me tell you a little 273 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: bit about what we know they're trying to get in 274 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: the bill. I just got a list from a Senate 275 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: staffer in DC that said, hey, we are starting to 276 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: see some of the items that the Republicans voted for 277 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: that we are going to be slammed in this bill. 278 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you that list, all right, so you 279 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: understand again, we voted to advance a bill that hasn't 280 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: been written yet. Democrats and Republicans have done this. They 281 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: claim that everybody must be for it because it would 282 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: quote revitalize America's roads and bridges. That's Biden's exact words. Well, 283 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: it also contains a crapload of stuff apparently that we 284 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: had no clue was going to be in this bill 285 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: because we haven't read the bill yet, because I hadn't 286 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: been put together yet. But these are the things in 287 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: private that are going to make its way into the bill. 288 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm being told by the Senate staff for number one, 289 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: seventy three billion dollars of your tax dollars, they now 290 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: say we'll go for clean energy transmission. The Biden administration 291 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: is saying this is a must. The single latest investment, 292 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: they say in American history to save the world. So 293 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna spend seventy three billion for clean energy transmission, 294 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: whatever the hell that means. That's infrastructure. Now, twenty one 295 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: billion it will be in this bill. I'm being told 296 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: to invest in environmental remediation. That's just going to go 297 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: to bunch of liberals who know congressmen and centers. They 298 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: say that this is going to be added to the 299 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: bill to address racial alleged disparities in environmental pollution. So 300 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: it's a racial issue. Now, this environmental remediation, got it, 301 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: twenty one billion tax dollars poof gone. Fifty billion I'm 302 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: being told is going to be in Western water infrastructure revitalization. 303 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: The Biden administration said that people again another race thing 304 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: in this bill. People of color are more likely to 305 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: live in areas most vulnerable to flooding and other climate 306 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: change related weather events. So again we just blew fifty 307 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: billion in Western water infrastructure revitalization. We don't even know 308 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: what that is, but it's fifty billion of your tax 309 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: dollars gone. Two point five billion we're being told will 310 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: be in this bill to develop zero admission buses two 311 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: point five billion more for quote, low admission buses and 312 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: two point five billion for low admission ferries. So two 313 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: point five, two point five and two point five. Man, 314 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: we're getting somewhere were I mean, that's pretty good money. 315 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: Seven a half billion for that. Who cares. We're also 316 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: going to spend another in this bill. We're being told 317 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: seven and a half billion to help develop plug in 318 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: electric vehicles. So Tesla is not doing a good enough 319 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: job with that, Nissan is not doing enough good enough 320 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: job with that. We need to now take seven point 321 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: five billion to help develop plug in electric vehicles have 322 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 1: already been developed by Tesla and others in the private sector. Again, 323 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: this is not going to change what Tesla's doing or 324 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: Nisan or anybody else with electric vehicles. You have an 325 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: electric F one fifty pickup coming up. I don't think 326 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: the federal government needs to be helping and wasting seven 327 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: point five billion to develop plug in vehicles when we 328 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: were about to get a pickup truck from Ford that 329 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: is an electric pickup. I think we're there, folks, I 330 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: really do think we're there. If you don't believe me, 331 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: talk to elon Mosk and look at the stock value 332 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: of Tesla. Here's my other favorite one. Now, we've been 333 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: talking about billions seventy three billion for clean energy transmission, 334 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: twenty one billion for environmental remediation for minority communities, fifty 335 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: billion for Western water and infrastructure to help people of color, 336 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: two point five billion for zero mission busses and ferries, 337 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: and then seven a half billion to develop plug in 338 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: vehicles that we already have developed that are on the 339 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: roads right now. But this is the one that should 340 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: really chap all of us. We apparently, in this bill 341 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: are going to give sixty six billion dollars to Amtrack 342 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: for their maintenance backlog. Amtrack has a history of being unprofitable, 343 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: and we're going to give another sixty six billion in 344 00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: subsidies to continue to be unprofitable. There, Biden's Whitehouse is 345 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: claiming that this bill will help tackle the quote climate 346 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: crisis and the growing economy substantially for decades to come. 347 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: That's a lie. The nine Senate Republicans that serve on 348 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the Bipartisan Infrastructure Working Group spending endless days and nights 349 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: they claim working with Democrats and Biden to pass a 350 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: bill that they haven't even written yet. Include Richard Burr 351 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Lee, Some Murkowski, Rob Portman, 352 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: Mint Romney, Mike Rowns, and Tom Tillis. Senator Scott, Republicans 353 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: South Carolina, said he had to vote no on advancing 354 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: the bill because lawmakers have yep to draft the legislative texts. 355 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: How do I vote on something I can't even read? 356 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: Johnson told Brightbart News an exclusive interview last night that 357 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: the Senate Republicans that cooperated with Democrats and the infrastructure 358 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: bill would be complicit and enabling the democrats extreme leftist agenda. 359 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: Tim Scott put out a new tweet saying I voted 360 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: no on emphasis structure a week ago because there is 361 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: no legislative text. My mind hasn't changed. There's still no 362 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: legislative text or exclamation on how to pay for the 363 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: one point to trillion dollar infrastructure plan. The president of 364 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget set in a statement 365 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: today that they are extremely and deeply concerned that this 366 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: legislation is not only not fully paid for, but contains 367 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: many budget gimmicks to make it appear less expensive. It 368 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: also relies on several phony offsets that will save money 369 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: or no money, that includes quote taking credit for savings 370 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: that have already occurred, and reviving budget gimmicks like pension smoothing. 371 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: Former President Trump trash Republicans for dealing with a so 372 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: called Biparson bill by saying, quote, hard to believe. Our 373 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans are dealing with the dealing the radical left 374 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: Democrats and making a so called bipartisan bill on infrastructure 375 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: with our negotiators headed up by the super rhino Mitt Romney. 376 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: This will be a victory for the Biden administration and 377 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: Democrats and will be heavily used in the twenty twenty 378 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: election twenty twenty two election. It is a loser for 379 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: the USA, a terrible deal, and makes the Republicans look weak, foolish, 380 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: and dumb. It shouldn't be done. It sets an easy 381 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: glide path for Dems to then go beyond what anyone 382 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: thought was possible in future legislation. It will be a 383 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: continued destruction of our country. Our borders are horrible, crime 384 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: is an all time high, taxes, inflation are going way up, 385 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: the economy is going way down. And now this former 386 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: President Trump added, don't do it. Republicans patriots will never 387 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: forget if this deal happens, lots of primaries will be 388 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: coming your way now. Notice he called out super Rhino, 389 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. I will say it again, this is Romney's 390 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: exit strategy. What Mitt Romney is doing is Mitt Romney 391 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: is saying, Okay, Democrats, I'll be a Republican that you 392 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: can work with to do whatever the hell you want 393 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: to do as long as you give me my next big, 394 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: important job. He wants to be an ambassador, a major ambassador. 395 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: And if you don't think that Joe Biden would give 396 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: him that job, you're crazy. Keep him in the Senate 397 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: until he's gonna lose his job, and then make him 398 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: an ambassador. Make him an ambassador. That's all you gotta do. 399 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: Just make him an ambassador. That's it. Make him an ambassador. 400 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: It only cost you one point two trillion dollars to 401 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: get Mitt Romney to be an ambassador. Not a bad 402 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: gig if you can get it right. I will say 403 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: this again, make sure that you call your congressman and 404 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: your Senator and you tell them to vote hell no 405 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: on this. Do not move this legislation forward, Do not 406 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: at them off the hook. Make it abundantly clear that 407 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: this is unacceptable in the way that they're using your money. Period. Also, 408 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: make sure that you share this podcast with your family 409 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: and friends so they know what is in the bill 410 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: that hasn't even been written yet. I can't even believe 411 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: I'm saying that statement, but it's actually accurate. We know 412 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 1: what some of the things are going to be in it, 413 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: but it hadn't been written yet.
