well, chuck it, all fairness, chuck schumer would not entertain h.r. two. i totally agree. okay.so if you saw ad schumer and the other democrats, they said, we're ready now to do this. we're we're of declaring war on the republicans. we're to get together and stop them. so, charles, realists actually, in terms of what we need to achieve, for example, on the just on the birthright citizenship, the 14th amendment is highly. now they tried to kick trump off the ballot on the 14th amendment. the supreme court said no. but on the birthright citizenship provision. highly controversial. what you think's going to happen on the legal end when this goes into effect after the president takes office. okay. thank you. a lot there. i think you would agree. i'm a lawyer. yeah, you're good at it. i can tell. all right. so let's start with entitlements. you have to we have to recognize that birthright citizenship is a major power entitlement, a constitu one that is going to take a whole separate a different avenue to work out and to deal with as far as that bucket of entitlements. though, in gene

chuck schumer mentioned to axios, democrats caught flat-footed by the attack on women sports. 77 million so they are caught flat-footed after 2023 and they voted on this in the house. not a single democrats voted with republicans on the party line. they had another chance in january, okay, you lost the election in a huge issue if not determinative issue, two democrats set i will vote with republicans and just two in the house of representatives. what happens today? will democrats join with republicans for the filibuster? i'm not holding my breath that wake up guys you are losing! >> harris: it seems like a big number but things are changing and we are a little more than a year and a half away from midterms. they don't have the message yet or tilt local politics is not federal politics, that still, they are in seven swing states that trump won! democrats need to read the room. look, "new york times" survey said vast majority of americanso not think transgender athletes should compete in women's sports. they were is that but also this poll by concerned women for america, 70% of moderate vo

. >> trace: yet senate minority leader chuck schumer said on x trump and vance are doing putin's dirty work. senate democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and democracy. i mean ukraine needs this deal. macron, france, britain, nobody can help except for the president of the united states and right now they are at all it's. >> that is the very fervent reality. president trump was very clear he campaigned on in america first policy. he wanted our foreign policy to benefit americans and i think that's the new thing that we haven't seen. of course the context of this is that americans have felt frustrated that we continue to be involved in these foreign wars, funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to a country like ukraine and that the same time we are neglecting our own citizens so often. president trump wanted to deliver what he saw as a win for americans, where we broker peace. at the same time cut a deal that benefits us. that was of course the understanding. that's part of the reason why treasury secretary went to discuss this with zelenskyy and zelenskyy got on a plane. every

axios reports house minority leader hakeem jeffries and senate if minority leader chuck schumer do wanto attend with a plus one. a congressional a memo obtained by axios asks house democrats bring a guest who has been harmed by the trump administration's early a actions. if party reeders are en-- leaders are encouraging members to stay focused on kitchen table issues and protecting programs like medicaid. they're hoping that approach resonates more with voters instead of simply interrupting the president's speech. but there are democrats who believe not showing up at all sends a better message. per axios, senators bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, ed markey are some considering not going. senator chris murphy is reportedly also considering not attending telling axios with when president trump does a speech, it's not a serious event. carly, rachel and peter. -- charlie. peter: thanks, maddie. i think part of the reason nancy pelosi doesn't want anyone doing anything dramatic, two reasons. one, what if somebody comes up with something more iconic than ripping a piece of paper? it's possib

members that want to go, their directive from leadership from hakeem jeffries, minority l le leader chuck schumer is clear, bring a guest, have them in gallery and drive a separate narrative. you might see people dismissed or affected by healthcare cuts. whole challenge and strategy from leaders is to focus on gallery and not what the president is saying. as you played there, there are a lot of lawmakers defying leaders and don't want to go on the democratic side. >> steve: it is very unfortunate, a lot of people are losing their jobs with doj cuts. when you look at public opinion polls, majority of americans like what is happening to make federal government more efficient. same thing on the southern border, tightening national security, two things the president will talk about and two things that are very popular and if the democrats start b booing, that is going to be bad for them. >> so what the view from the hig highest echelon is, leave border aside, there is acknowledgement they are losing on that issue. they need to change policies, which they have in some cases. there is quite a bit of di

so i call chuck schumer, who is the senior senator.inton, who's the junior senator from new york. hillary clinton's the first one to call back, and she says, "david, there was something very ominous about your message. is everything all right?" i said, "i guess everything's all right, but i'm gonna be the governor in about 35 minutes." she goes, "oh, my god. what happened?" there's just dead air. how do you explain a sex scandal to hillary clinton? as paterson had been warned, there was a press conference just after 3 p.m. with the shocking news already splashed across "the new york times" web site, everyone thought they knew what they were in for.

democratic leader chuck schumer blasted the order, calling it a bid by president trump to turn vladimir putin's favor. russia and ukraine will certainly be a topic when president trump addresses a joint session of congress tuesday night. the speech is not technically a state of the union address, coming just weeks after trump took office for his second term. mr. trump's speech is expected to outline his legislative priorities for the next four years. it's also expected to highlight the work his administration has accomplished since taking office. you can watch president trump's joint address to congress right here on nbc bay area. we will carry it live at 6:00. then join us for a special edition of nbc bay area news at nine. also happening this week. on tuesday, san mateo county voters will decide the fate of measure a, which would allow the board of supervisors to remove embattled sheriff christina corpus. corpus has been under fire for months after an independent audit found evidence of an abuse of power, retaliation and intimidation in her office. the sheriff has repeatedly denied th

hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer they want the democrats-to-attend and bring special guests that haveeen negatively effected. some people are bringing people that were fired. >> steve: at least four. >> lawrence: this is what the quote that axios got. they said we ask that the house democrats attend the joint address and bring a guest who has been harmed by the trump administration's early action. look. i see what they're trying to do. they are trying to make the issue more relatable, make it more tangible. >> steve: put a face on it. the country is the country supports the action. you are doing one-offs. we don't want people losing their job. we understand how hard it is for them. but, when it comes to waste, fraud and abuse, the country understands that this is a casualty of that. >> brian: what is so interesting is democrats have a strategy. some want to fight. fight every day. james carville famously. sit and play possum. nancy pelosi famed for doing one of the egregious things at a public event by a high ranking official. the one who ripped up the state of the union address her a

senate minority leader chuck schumer, also posting a response to musk's recent comments, saying the trumpis announcing massive cuts to social security staff more than 7000 people. elon musk is calling social security the biggest ponzi scheme of all time. they are attacking social security and democrats are going to fight back. >> overseas faithfuls flocking to rome to pray for pope francis. the 88 year old pontiff is in stable condition today as he recovers from pneumonia in both lungs. he did skip his weekly blessing this morning, and that was to avoid a public appearance. and throughout the weekend, people have left candles and said prayers at the base of the statue of john paul the second, in front of the hospital where the pope is receiving care. visitors from all over the world say they are hopeful he will recover. >> i still believe pope francis has the strong willpower to come out and complete the work that he has already undertaken. that is the renewal of the church. >> the vatican says the pope is grateful to his doctors and the well wishers for their support. he says he is using

to your point about using all the tools at your disposal, do you think that minority leader chuck schumer should call on democrats to reject unanimous consent agreements? well, certainly we are looking at all the procedural tools right now. for example, in the senate finance committee, we're looking at ways in which we can strengthen our opportunity to get information from the various nominees. we haven't been able to get that from treasury. so the procedural rules of the senate are one of the areas we're looking at to have more strength to carry out our positions and our values. it sounds like it's under consideration. what would it take for you to suggest to the minority leader that that should be the course of action? it certainly ought to be one of the tools on the table. i'm not going to try to micromanage the senate from the rotunda, but it certainly ought to be. one of the things we look at. senator ron wyden, we have to leave the conversation there. appreciate you joining us. thank you. thanks for having me. of course, brianna. >> we have breaking news into cnn. an alarming update

i didn't like it when chuck schumer asked for netanyahu to be removed and i didn't like it for zelenskyy think it would spiral it into chaos trying to figure out who would lead it to peace. if you remember the press conference in the oval office on president, it started with president trump saying he is a friend of zelenskyy. they've had good conversations and there are obviously differences whwhere zelenskyy wants more in the way of some kind of security guarantees. the united states is not willing to be able to put troops on the ground. we're not willing to do that, but president trump obviously met with zelenskyy first. everyone was saying he was talking with president putin and that's a clear sign of where he is and stands on this, but he wants to get both sides to the table and get an end to the fighting and the death. >> a lot of people are thinking about the bigger implications of this moment. are you concerned that what happened in the oval office, the fact that the united states sided with russia and north korea in that u.n. vote, for example, the fact that president trump accus

it happened before with chuck schumer. it happened with nancy pelosi. when they are arguing over the budget negotiations because donald trump likes the theater, did they force. >> zelenskyy to. ask the question of jd vance? >> i actually disagree with you on that because, you know, i think you've diagnosed the moment that this happened. but the fact that jd vance engaged with zelenskyy, i think it was not a mistake. i think vance has always had an issue with zelenskyy, and we'll talk more about that. but the reception of this, you said it's a political divide. well, over in moscow and among russians, this was the, the, the reaction and insulin. pig finally got a proper slap down in the oval office. another senior russian senator, the kyiv clown, played his role of president poorly at the white house. a russian foreign ministry spokesperson. how trump and vance restrained themselves and didn't hit this scoundrel is a miracle of self-control. there is an agenda in russia to demonize and really to get rid of zelenskyy. and the one thing perhaps that has co

. >> ana eugene some democrats, including senate minority leader chuck schumer, plan to bring guests affected by trump's cuts to send a message. on the other hand, you have senator chris murphy, who is skipping the speech altogether. and here's his reasoning. >> i think that state of the. >> union speech is going to be. >> a farce. >> i think it's. >> going to be a maga pep rally, not a serious talk to the nation. >> i think donald. >> trump is going to spew a series of lies. >> about his alignment. >> with russia. about what he's trying to do to allow elon musk to essentially monetize the american government, to enrich. >> musk and. >> his billionaire crowd. and i'm just not going to be a part of. >> that. you know, i think what democratic voters want to see is a fight, right? they seem to feel like the party is listless, that they don't have a clear message. and you can see in the different approaches that that schumer and murphy are doing, and many other democrats trying to figure out what that message actually is and how you navigate that. right. you can see it in whether or not

and the democrats, if they if mitch mcconnell was chuck schumer, he would be. absolutely wrecking the hell out of donald trump every minute. >> of the day. >> so fight. >> yeah, definitely. that's more and more people. >> are calling for the democrats to do just that. we'll see if they actually heed that call. rick wilson and. misha cross, thank you to the both of you for. starting us off tonight. greatly appreciate it as always. >> coming up, we're going to look at andrew. >> cuomo's mayoral run, specifically what his return to politics could mean for the democrats that are welcoming him back. >> we're going to talk to. >> fellow new yorker, former congressman jamaal bowman about congressman jamaal bowman about that and much more. asthma. does it have you missing out on what you love with who you love? it's time to get back out there with fasenra. fasenra is an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks and can also be taken conveniently at home. fasenra helps prevent asthma attacks. most patients did not have an attack in the fi

democrat right now who can command a national attention because of either their position like chuck schumer the senate, but he's just not a national figure like that. and the way that politics works, way power works, is that it's almost always a reaction to who's in power now. and so whatever trump does, it will feed that reaction. and if he's unpopular. >> then little. >> by little, republicans. >> will. >> break from him potentially. and it will give a clear opening for democrats to figure out, how do you run against a guy who doesn't do or believe or say anything that you thought anybody could and get away with it in american politics? and so all the power flows through him. the reason that i'm not as certain as others that republicans will break as quickly from trump if things go poorly, is this combination of musk and trump like the new dynamic? and you saw that in the nominating process, is that when you have the power of the presidency and the power of sort of the information warfare machine aimed at you, almost. >> no one has the. >> courage to stand up and take the bullet. nobody y
