chuck schumer was right. chuck schumer was right. the only one that's gone off to the runoff election is georgia. they won all other ones and this conference, joe biden came and said and i know he was just saying what he was told say. but still, joe biden came out and said, well, i think we're going to come close to keeping the house. we'll definitely win the senate. and i remember thinking, what drugs is this guy? i want a bit of what he's smoking. but sean, if we're only just winning the house, it got announced today by the slimmest the barest of majorities and the senate. well, let's see what happens in, georgia. but they've got 50 already. it's just going to be a question, 51 or 50. so these guys always seem to know what's going to happen. they had the same conference in 2020. and i thinking to myself, there is no in the world that the united states is going to throw out donald trump. there is no way. and sure enough, these guys, they predicted the election result they predicted. so they are always step ahead than us. they knew t

if chuck schumer -- >> being passed -- >> chuck schumer never passed a budget since he's been leading. he's never passed an appropriation bill. those are the most basic things that congress should do. and what if you're going to show to the american public where you want to spend your money and ask the hardworking taxpayer for more money, you should lay out how you're going to spend it and eliminate any waste so you don't have to raise more taxes. >> to put a fine point on it because it matters a lot to the markets in particular, you will avoid a default? you will not let that happen on your watch? >> there will not be a default. what is irresponsible is what the democrats are doing right now, saying just raise the limit. >> would you get in the way -- if 15 republicans said they would raise the debt limit would you allow them -- >> the only person getting in the way right now is the president and schumer. they won't even pass a budget. they won't even negotiate. we have now until june. i want to make sure we have something responsible, something that we can move forward on and someth

and and i think both she and and chuck schumer conducted themselves with dignity in the process. and you got us got us through it. i know that your book is on on quite some time before the all of these events but your also is kind of a lays out the path work how possibly we got to this to this point but let me ask you just one more thing about recent history, senator, if you don't mind your thoughts on maybe you knew in the senate or the house who were actually giving tours to some of the people who attacked president or to attacked the capitol? well, as far as i know, in the senate was doing that, but i'm not sure that that you know, i. i don't know. i can't giving tours myself but time and i certainly didn't knowingly give any tours to anyone who was planning to attack the capitol. yeah, good. it's good to know. yeah, that gives me that gives me some hope and yes. wanted to get that on the record. okay. duly noted. as you as you note in your book, by the way, the book is called breakdown for congress in crisis point, where it gives senator jeff bingaman that the divisions did n

majority leader chuck schumer yesterday. meanwhile back on hill yesterday house speaker kevin mccarthy was asked about his plan and about the debt ceiling. this is what he had to say. >> have you had any conversations about settling -- [inaudible] you have been pretty clear in what you believe republicans need. >> it's very disappointed about the white house. think for one moment i don't think anybody in america would do it this way, that they would reach the limit on a credit card and you just extend the limit and not look about where their spending. no state can do this, no family can do this, know city, no county can do this. this isn't even the behavior of past joe biden. when joe biden was vice president, the biden talks, he precis idea of negotiation together the adult anybody in congress believes this as well. i mean look, i think we have to be sensible and responsible. we have to have a responsible debt ceiling. i'm not saying never. i'm just saying you hit $31 trillion, 120% of gdp. your party has been in power for

this is the senate majority leader, chuck schumer. this is all about the next campaign. >> a whole bunch of republicans who are not maga. my hope is, and i believe there after a little while they will see that following this extreme fringe is like following thelma and louise over the cliff and that they will come and start dealing with us in a serious way. >> divided government is not new, but it is interesting out of the box. i mean, again, it's january 2023. the republicans are taking these votes. democrats did the same thing and know it can't pass but important to frame a political debate and democrats think this is going to help us. >> these are message bills and republicans need to send the message that they came -- they got the majority and did what their voters wanted them to do. it hits a brick wall in the senate and even bigger brick wall if it ever were to make it to the white house which it won't but president biden can say, look, i would veto all these things. yesterday he gave remarks about inflation because there was thi

it's one thing for chuck schumer tying spending to debt is going to lead to another government shutdown and rue the day that the concessions were made, but even some of your moderate congressmen are looking at one could torpedo the much speaker. you got what you wanted, but that you'll regret. >> and thomas jefferson wrote that rule around a couple hundred years and everybody worked under it with big majorities, slim majorities, civil wars, world wars, all of that stuff. nancy pelosi is the one that changed it and we needed to reserve that back into the rules package so that not only members could hold the most powerful person in the building accountable, but quite honestly, so the american people have the accountability and that's what it's really there for. neil: were you surprised, congressman, that the six holdouts never budged. at the end they voted present and almost came to blows certainly, and florida congressman gaetz. but i'm wondering what that might portend going into this congress? >> look, i'm not surprised. they are change agents. they are patriots and they are our friend

president biden and with president biden's leadership and we are thankful for the leadership of chuck schumer. republicans continue to double and triple down on their extreme agenda. we know they are extreme as it relates to reproductive freedom, we believe in a woman's freedom to make her own reproductive health health care decisions. republicans want to impose a nationwide ban. we believe in social security and medicare. republicans want to destroy social security and medicare. we believe in democracy. many extreme maga republicans apparently don't believe in democracy anymore. they have an extreme agenda. it continues and the so-called fair tax act is another example of the extremist agenda that republicans are trying to jam down the throats of the american people. the so-called fair tax act is unfair, unconscionable and on american. it will impose a tax hike that is dramatic on 90% of the american people, working families, middle-class folks, seniors and those who aspire to be part of the middle class before the sick and the afflicted. it will impose an tax on older americans in this nati

this is a day for chuck schumer as well.n you think about this senate makeup, and what it means reducing majority leader. >> chuck schumer has a little more breathing room as of today. he will have a 50/49 senate because the state of pennsylvania flip from republican to democrat when john fetterman one in november -- won in november. that gives him a chance to do a just laois in and put that on the floor that may be objectively to moderates like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema. but beyond that, we will function much differently than we have seen in the last couple years other than chuck schumer having one critical vote. host: talk about the committee side of it. we hear on the legislative slide -- side, but what is it me that the committee makeup? >> it means democrats will have majority on most of the committee meetings. many of the large meetings like judiciary, farm relations are examples were split evenly 50 -- 50 -- 50/50. and it was hard to get those deadlocked because of democrats and republicans voting is a block in o

i mean, i just wanna remind our audience and then we'll go to chuck schumer of our audience . 18. 56 count. how many years ago that was nathaniel banks. what was he elected? speaker of the house? after a 133 ballots. it was the same year that a south carolina sen caned and took a beautiful k, a brutal keening of a senator from massachusetts who spoke out against slave holders and nearly killed that senator on the floor of the senate. so in, in historic retrospective, this was nothing, i want to be very careful cuz terms matter words matter when you say it was an embarrassment style repairs. but i think a couple of years ago, the 1st time that donald trump was impeached, that was in january of that year in november of that year. it was mentioned literally 0 times during election season. that was 10 months later that was the impeachment of a president. it had essentially been forgotten, it was cast aside. there were other issues they had but to her. and so the idea that this was an embarrassment, it was like an awkward moment, but it has ramiro, historical impact other literally let's

today senate majority leader chuck schumer is in new york city with president biden discussing railway infrastructure projects. the senate about to begin its session live on c-span2. esidie senate will come to order. the chaplain, dr. barry black, will lead the senate in prayer. the chaplain: let us pray. spirit of love, enlarge our horizons. give to us this day perspectives that go beyond pessimism and negativity. enable us to lift our eyes to you, our provider, sustainer, and friend. may we refuse to permit today's challenges to make us forget how powerfully you have led us in the past. bless our legislative branch today with your wisdom. help our senators to follow the path that leads to the fulfillment of your purposes. inspire our lawmakers to fowcus on the priorities that will cause justice to roll down like waters. we pray in your marvelous name. amen. the presiding officer: please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to our flag. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, w

you know, he has an i suite up, we're still you still using twitter, but chuck schumer, right speaker mccarthy's dream job, could turn into a nightmare for the american people to get the votes. he surrendered, surrendered to demands of a fringe element of the g. o. p. americans, what congress to build on the historic bipartisan achievement from last 2 years, not more gridlock, if not, not true, that is actually sharma massage. live your glasses. i'll say it again. if you're going to quote, schumer, you go to slide as, but to the, to that, to, to the point here. you know, i think the, the question is, you know, if you look at the last 2 years in the power of jo mansion as a swing vote in the senate, i've done shows with various commentators who began calling. joe mentioned president mansion. oh yeah. do. did that example, basically give ideas in part to the renegade g o p members to say, we need to go from being looked at as the fringe of the republican party to being central and mainstream to the choice of the republican party. is that what we saw happen? well, i definitely think a pa

and chuck schumer was not happy being asked about it. >> i have to say this.m more measured about this than with the trump documents. you called for transparency with the trump documents. you want lawmakers to have access to the documents seizeed in florida. >> i said that night it's pro mature to comment on what should be done for president trump. that's what i said. >> sean: no more hysteria for classified documents from chuck schumer because the democrats didn't care about the classified documents. for them it was all a ploy to get trump one more time. this is not a game. i think most americans see we have a dual system of justice. i have very little faith in the doj that they will hold joe biden accountable. they are in his executive branch. his home office have yet to be raided but they did that with the donald trump. donald trump gave the fbi access to the room where the classified documents were. they were in. there they could have taken them with them. they didn't. they said put a padlock on the door. they could have come back any time. but they decide

host: that was chuck schumer yesterday. the senate returns at 10:00 a.m. eastern, same time as the house. you can watch the house on c-span, the senate on c-span two as the sun rises over the u.s. capitol. we ask, what is the top problem facing this country? walter, maryland, democrat. caller: the biggest problem is the education of our constituents. it seems to have fallen off over the last 20 or 30 years. that is why we have this partisan bickering. the hatemongering going on, that is pretty much all i want to say. host: florida, jim, republican. caller: good morning. i think positive leadership in the area of race is the biggest problem, but one comment -- every time chuck schumer opens his mouth, i blow up. he is talking about a plan? donald trump had a 10 year plan for balancing the budget. democrats, after all of this funding money they passed in congress, they do not know what a balanced budget is. i wish she would shut up about a plan. they do not have any idea what a plan is, but letting main concern is that my main concern is the lack of positive

you had chuck schumer on earlier.hutdown because of the sort of inability that we've seen from them to govern themselves. these hard-liners are doing these things, as you mentioned, one could call a vote to remove him as speaker at any time if they're unhappy with something he does, but the other thing these hard-liners are doing are pushing away their moderate colleagues, like nancy mace from south carolina. she's mccarthy ally. she almost voted against the rules package yesterday, ultimately voted for it, but she told axios she's raising yell over this secret concessions document going around because she's left with more questions than answers. she's feeling left in the dark from her party. >> political reporter for axios, alexi mcammond, thank you very much. good to see you. >>> allen weisselberg, the trump organization former cfo, expected to be sentenced today for tax fraud. in august, he pleaded guilty for his role in the 15-year-long fraud scheme where he dodged taxes on $1.7 million in job perks. as part of th

chuck schumer, the entire delegation has said nothing about this. biden didn't see anything when he went to the border because they cleaned it up. sometimes presidents do the fake off-the-record, i'm going to stop and get an ice cream, you can do it for things like this too. i want to see what's going on. it would have been very eye-opening, because i drive by it every day, and it's just getting larger. everyone slept outside last night. it was snowing this morning. it's not good for them. it's not good for any of us. i do feel for eric adams, because he is at least trying to come up with creative solutions. perhaps he's not as strong in getting the biden administration to accept some responsibility, but he did say, okay, maybe i can try this. maybe i'll try the park, the ship. >> greg: better than de blasio. >> dana: absolutely. 100%. i don't see an end to it. it's really depressing. >> jesse: i guess they settled on brooklyn. they have a ping-pong table there with oranges. judge? >> judge jeanine: one of the things that eric adams i think is tryin

means for the senate majority leader. >> guest: chuck schumer senate majorityt leader has little bitom as of today. instead of a 50 $.50 he will have 51-49 senate because the state of pennsylvania flipped from democrat, or from republican extubated democrat when john fetterman one in november. that gives him some space to do certain legislation or put nominations on the floor that might be objectionable to moderates like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema of course but beyond that it won't function much differently than what we have seen in the last couple of years, other than chuckan schumr having one critical book is. >> host: what the new makeup then, talk about the committee psychically about the legislator side of what does it mean for the committee's with this new makeup? >> guest: it means the democrats will have outright majorities on most of the f majr committees, given that the last few years when a 50-50 senate pick me up a large committees like judiciary, foreign relations, for example, were split even at 50-50 and it was hardat to get legislation and nominations to the floor

i will support it, but when they sent it to president biden and chuck schumer, those two gentlemen willmes to look at it. they are going to say "no, we will not negotiate. default if you want to." i'm working on a bill. i don't know if senator schumer will bring it to the floor. i don't know if the senator will supported, but to try to force the parties to negotiate. i don't know if it will work. but i don't know anything else to do at this point. i do know this, i am not going to vote to default on the debt of the united states of america. even though i didn't run it up! i'm not going to do it. i have a food dishy airy obligation to the american people. i am a senator. i tried to rise above it but i'm a senator. i'm going to fulfill my food dishy area obligation. >> ainsley: are right, senator we will be watching because the deadline is tomorrow. thank you so much for coming on. >> you bet. >> brian: still ahead the white house takes an awkward turn. >> ainsley: clay travis on the cringeworthy moment coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> brian: why? the golden state warriors visi

nancy pelosi didn't really deal with mccarthy as much as chuck schumer has to deal with mitch mcconnell. they are going to get somebody eventually, whether it is mccarthy risk police. it seems like jeffrey's is someone who can make it work on his and. host: it wasn't a typical opening day in congress, roll call covered it all. let's go to the headlines, a couple of significant notes, patty murray becoming the first female president pro tempore and mitch mcconnell marking his milestone as longest senior leader. guest: dianne feinstein was the single most democratic. he was typically online. this position was created in the line of succession to clarify who becomes president or vice president in the event of vacancy. it is typically gods the most senior member. feinstein had come under withering criticism for a few years there in her capacity and leadership on the judiciary during the nomination for supreme court justices under donald trump and chuck schumer was able to allow her to step aside or to lobby that she would not get it and open the way for murray who has universal respect. not

and that's a chuck schumer. he's relentless. he never gives up. make today a reality and is truly, this a chuck schumer day, pal. you got it done. chuck, you've done a hell of a job. a big thanks and the rest of the delegation as well. senator gillibrand who's here, a true champion of this state and always puts new york first. and she made sure everybody in the military is great and up to, but that's a different story. mayor adams, thank you -- wears mayor adams? they are. good to see you, pal. thank you for the passport into the city. and governor hogle thank you as well. we got a chance to speak a little earlier. and governor murphy has been a great friend a longtime. your leadership has been vital to this project, and the new jersey congressional delegation fought like hell to push forward what this all this entails it out of what you think everybody here. i want to thank bob menendez. why you bob? they are. good to see you bob. and cory booker, two a great senator from new jersey. and also what, , we tried to sht down while others try to shut

and clearly you agree with chuck schumer. >> yes. i think -- i don't know that it will result in that, but i think we'll get very close to a default or government shutdown. and that's disturbing in lots of different ways. and there you do need both houses to come to some kind of agreement. the one thing we've learned is a sizable faction of this republican caucus in the house does not believe in compromise, which has been the genius of the american republic since it was founded. >> yeah. it's incredible that such a small minority within a party can hold the majority hostage on, you know, a slew of things. and we'll see how that plays out in the coming two years. regarding mccarthy's concessions, there was a whole slew of them. one of them makes it easier to oust him as speaker. it just takes one person to call for a vote to do so. what are the implications of his concessions? >> he got the title but not the powers we normally associate with the speaker. i think he's going to have to get permission to have each breakfast, and they'll

chuck schumer said he would get behind this after i pressed him. i asked mitch mcconnell, too, the republican leader, about what congress should do, he didn't say anything about legislation. he didn't off any sort of legislative solution. we haven't heard from kevin mccarthy about that as well. they want to investigate what joe biden has done. biden in particular, how a document that apparently was from his time in senate appeared in his home in wilmington, they review these documents in closed, very secure settings in the capitol. you can't walk out with a document. so, how did it get there? was a staff member involved? all questions they want answers to. they don't have them yet. >> all right, manu, phil, josh, thank you. >>> the deputy whip for the progressive caucus. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. i'm assuming you heard the conversation leading up to this, your response to news that there were classified materials found at the former vice president and in addition to that, what should be done to rectify what's clearly a broken syst

not asking you to wade into politics but i think it's important to point out that nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, hakeem jeffries, they remain silent on this since we had this third document discovery over the weekend. i mean, they are dodging questions. this is when we have seen them asked on the record about this. listen. >> what did you think to yourself, looking at that image? >> how that could possibly happen, how anyone could be that irresponsible. >> no one is above the law, not even a president or former president of the united states. >> it's a large chunk of the republicans, not all of them, but a large chunk have become what i called maga republicans, trump republicans, little resuspect for rule of law. >> sandra: ok. ok, so that is some of what we have heard about classified documents being found and the importance of it. why is it not the same, and jonathan, what questions do you have at this hour after you've been taking us through this breaking news, you joined us throughout it last week. >> well, you know, the democrats are facing a rather unique dilemma in that they finally foun

and if they don't and if chuck schumer says no, we're not going to take up that legislation we passed and if joe biden won't sign it, so be it. second, we can never, ever let a bill like the one that passed 12 days ago, $1.7 trillion spending, we can never let that kind of legislation pass again. we have to pass a budget that makes sense, then do the 12 appropriation bills that recognize it's the people's money, not ours, and send it to the senate then stand firm on that legislation and again, if they won't take it up and joe biden won't sign it, we can stand firm on a cr or something. we can have that fight, but we are not going to have what took place a week and a half ago ever happen again and then finally, third. and this is important. we've got to do the oversight, do the investigation -- >> order. >> we have to do the oversight and the investigations that need to be done. this idea that bureaucrats who never put their name on a ballot but think they run the country, who have assaulted our constituents' first amendment liberties, they need to be held accountable. that needs to ha
