thank you leader schumer. senator reverend warnock. >> thank you so very much, i'm glad to be a with leader schumer and with senator ossoff. i love the sound of that come to talk about the urgency of getting this relief bill passed for the people back home in georgia and all across this country. i want to say i am so proud of the people of the state of georgia in this defining moment in american history for sending john and me to the united states senate. they sent us with a mandate to address the devastation of this book health crisis for our state and our country, and we intend to live up to that promise. the people of georgia are the ones who helped to make this robust relief possible. they stood up not only for that statement for the country, and now it's up to the congress to deliver. and that's why our top priorities for getting the vaccine distributed in our state, and delivering the relief and assistance georgians need to get on their feet through this tough time. this is one moment in which it's very

schumer said the legal authority is there for such action and urged the president. senator schumer: thank you for coming and joining us. we are a tough and dedicated group. we are having an outdoor conference. representative jones -- is representative clayborn here -- >> there he is. >> there you go. >> this a debt holds people back from buying cars, going on vacations, from starting families, from getting the job they want to get. it is a huge anchor on our entire economy and there is very little the president could do with the flick of a pen that would boost our economy more than canceling $50,000 of student debt. it would be a huge push into our economy. the bottom line is this is one of those things the president can do on his own. senator warren and i have researched this thoroughly. other presidents have done it. another magnitude we are asking, but the fact they have been able to do it shows there is legal authority. we have met with the president. we are pushing the president and his people and we are very hopeful the cry from one end of america to the other

it does sound as though the senate majority leader chuck schumer and his republican counterpart, mitch mcconnell, have reached an agreement on how all of this is going to play out over the next week. could be two weeks, jake, from what we understand, talking to our sources. meantime, though, the other news of the day coming from this impeachment trial is that the former president's impeachment team has revealed some of its defense strategy if the senate somehow decides to convict the former president, his impeachment team is saying it's unconstitutional to even put him on trial at this point. one white house official told me the president should be held accountable for the events that took place january 6th. at one point this official told me former president, at one point was, quote, loving the capitol mob. scrambling to escape accountability for the insurrection he helped incite on january 6th, donald trump's defense team is arguing the former president is totally blameless for the bloody siege at the capitol. in their latest filing before the impeachment trial begins tuesday, his la

but she feels that the threat of a primary puts a useful kind of pressure on chuck schumer.ere was no possibility he would face a serious primary or potentially a really mortally serious primary, a race against her very well might be, he would feel more comfortable tracking towards the center and making joe manchin center of gravity in the democratic caulkcus as oppod to the much more complicated pick they are there now. >> dangle that over chuck schumer's head. seems comfortable with that, as you explain. alex, thanks for being with us. >> thanks a lot. >>> many republicans who didn't stick to party lines and voted to impeach former president donald trump a second time now find themselves being censured for their votes. it's a move that's rather shocking coming out of the same party that cried "free speech suppression" when trump was booted off twitter. we're going to roll the tape, next. research shows that people remember commercials with exciting stunts. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home

pelosi to go -- told schumer and pelosi to go pound sand?s is outrageous. and in some ways i do not think -- perhaps on greater reflection i might want to argue the point, but i don't understand why we would even do them the honor of showing up for what is a fraudulent, absolutely corrupt effort to besmirch the president once again now as a private citizen. it makes no sense. where is the republican party? what in hell are you people doing? >> well, you're exactly right, lou, and i wish that our leadership on capitol hill was fighting much harder e. and i think part of the things we look to next week -- this is something i have discussed with the president -- we all know that president trump is a fighter. he's going to go and stand up for himself. as we talk about how the democrats are not only putting president trump on trial, they're also putting the u.s. constitution, they're putting your free speech on trial. and, again, if they're going to go after one individual, try to change the constitution to do that, you know what we're going to d

senate majority leader chuck schumer made an announcement that a power-sharing agreement between the two parties has been reached. here is what he said just moments ago. >> i am happy to report this morning that the leadership of both parties have finalized the organizing resolution for the senate. we will pass the resolution through the senate today which means that committees can promptly set up and get to work with democrats holding the gavels. >> also today, critical moment for the republican party. the future of the gop really hanging on the fate of two congresswomen, both right now facing rebuke for strikingly different reasons. liz cheney because she voted her conscience in voting to impeach former president trump, and marjorie taylor greene who has continued to push dangerous conspiracy theories. republicans are split over what should happen next with both of their roles. the decision could change the direction of the party as we know it. let's begin with jessica dean who joins us on the hill with more on this power sharing agreement. >> reporter: the big thing here is democr

unfortunately for schumer and the racist schumer, the blacks were able to come back with money that were than the eggs, and they left, but not foh want of trying. the man attaining this meeting is j how many , and writer for "american spectator." i've interviewed him many times on my radio show and i've asked him, h has anybody from "the new york times," "washington post" asked you about this and he said, no. the media is uninterested to purge a new york neighborhood in 1974 of a black people. 1974 is a long time ago, i'll give you that. same time that donald trump, a young donald trump entered into a consent decree with the hka to disk of new practices the hka thatis often cited as a reason r donald trump's alleged racism. around the same time, chuck schumer introduced this racist scheme to purge a new york neighborhood of black people and nobody gives a. this is a kind of double standard we been up against before four years and i'm sick of it. these characters involved in getting rid of donald trump, impeaching him, they've done terrific things and cannot care less but who writes a let

schumer is here.talk about another issue. i want to talk about the european unions approach to russia. we know, mr. president, that in february the russian government sentenced very prominent opposition leader had almost three years in prison. and shortly "after words", mr. pugin directed thousands of his supporters who were protesting be arrested. what was he the imprisonment comes in the wake of his near fatal poisoning about which we have all writs and what will happen should be a wake-up call to our friends in europe. it's certainly a wake-up call to the american people. this is not the first time that he has tried to get rid of a dissident. unfortunately it probably won't be the last. for years russia has been making trouble both at home and abroad. mr. pugin has made trouble here in america about which weow all know. : : : n murdered. we all know that. now, if this is how mr. putin is going to treat his own people, going to treat his own people, imagine how he would has treated foreign countries

that's the schumer way is to talk to them forever.t after 40 years became majority leader. the problem was after 40 years he became majority leader in a 50/50 senate. he does have the toughest job in washington. i really believe that. >> yeah. all right, punch bowl news john bresnahan. thank you for being with us. appreciate your insights and wit to kick us off for the day. >>> as we wrap up, i want to underscore that point, chuck schumer has the toughest job in washington and there's a key test to that today that will have a real impact on how president biden can govern. thank you so much as always for getting up way too early with us on this wednesday. don't go anywhere, "morning joe" starts right now. >>> the events i witnessed on january 6th, was the worst attack on law enforcement and our democracy that i have seen in my entire career. >> the fact of the matter is, this didn't seem like an armed insurrection to me. >> i witnessed insurgents beating police officers with fists, pipes, sticks, bats, metal barricades and flag poles.

leader schumer said it beautifully. he said his sharp wit and kindness.ouched by speaker pelosi's words, talking about how she hopes that it's a comfort to brian's family that the whole country is mourning with them. i feel that deeply and hope this ceremony does bring them some level of comfort. i think chaplain black's comments about brian's death in the defense is democracy is super important and a really important part of today's ceremony and services. brian died defending americans' right to vote, to have a functioning congress. that's all on display today. >> garrett, as we look at some of the lawmakers paying respects on their way out of the ceremony for officer sicknick, with his remains there, it is a moment -- a rare moment, frankly, of bipartisanship here. >> that's right. it's a shame these are some of the only moments where you see lawmakers from different parties coming together in this way. it was only democrats speaking that's because the top leaders in the chambers are democrats, you do see this united response here. i was struck by, in t

schumer wants to get rid of citizens united. allows advocacy during elections, free speech. so they want to attack the first amendment and free speech, the second amendment, they want to regulate and use executive orders and to destroy the second amendment. these are the bill of rights. now, biden's over 40 executive orders in action violates separation of powers. we don't have a president who dresses up legislation as an executive order and sits there like he has some nursing home -- "i just signed this one. i just signed this one." him and he doesn't take any questions. so that is article two, the presidency attacking article one, the congress. but the democrats don't much mind because they like what he is doing. this executive order on keystone xl pipeline, we have an amendment, the fifth amendment, that's part of the bill of rights, it's the taking clause. you don't get to steal somebody's property without remuneration. so that's a violation of the fifth amendment. we have the equal protection clause in the fifth amendment t

majority leader chuck schumer has just announced that he will present arguments, arguments that will restrict what is going to happen in this historic trial. the second impeachment trial against the former president of the united states. trump, of course, is the only u.s. president to have been impeached twice, the only one to be prosecuted after leaving office. but the white house says the trial won't be president biden's primary focus. instead, he will be watching key developments as lawmakers work on his $1.9 trillion covid relief package, which the white house expects to, quote, track closely with what the president has proposed. also this hour, the new secretary of state, anthony plinken, will join us here in "the situation room" for his first cnn interview. we'll get much more on all of that come ing up. this is clearly an historical and critical week here in washington for the president and certainly for his massive pandemic relief plan. our senior white house correspondent phil mattingly is joining us right now. phil, the white house believes the bill being crafted by congres

chuck schumer, of course, is going to vote to convict president trump.ck schumer often played the race card when asked if donald trump is racist, he said well, he has said racist things. 1974, a young upcoming ambitious politician named chuck schumer met with racist neighbors in an area in new york called "flat bush." there were two buildings that had black tenants. they weren't causing any problems, they weren't committing any crimes but the racist neighbors wanted them out. the young schumer met with the neighbors and said, "look, here is what i'll do. vote for me and i will introduce a measure to renovate the buildings. they will have a right of first refusal, of course. make them so nice they won't be able to afford to come back." voila! he introduced a scheme to do that. unfortunately for schumer and the racist neighbors the blacks were able to come back with the money to move back in the dings that were nicer than the one they left. the man attending the meeting is jay homnick for "american spectator" and he wrote about it in 2006. i interviewed hi

schumer: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to legislative session and be in a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent, mr. president, that when the senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10:30 a.m. tuesday, february 23. further, that the following -- that following the prayer and the pledge, the morning business be deemed expired, the journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed. further, upon the conclusion of morning business, the senate proceed to executive session as provided under the previous order. finally, i ask consent that the senate recess following the cloture on the thomas-greenfield nomination until 2:15 p.m. speaker pro tempore is there objection? without objection. mr. schumer: if there is no further busi

schumer wants to get rid of citizens united. allows advocacy during elections, free speech. want to attack the free first amendment of free speech, the second moment, they want to usend revelatory orders to desty the second amendment. violates separation of powers -- we do not have a president who dresses up legislation as an executive order and sits there like he's in a nursing home, i just signed this one. i just signed this one. then he doesn't take any questions. that is article two, the president attacking article one. by the democrats do not much mind because they like what he's doing. this executive order on the keystone xl pipeline. we have an amendment, the fifth amendment, as part of the bill of rights, it's the taking clause. you do not get to steal someone's property without a numeration spear that's the violation of the fifth amendment. the equal the 14th commitment that applie. the equal protection clause. he signed an executive orderse that promotes race-based discrimination throughout the federall departments andci agencies. clearly in violation of equal prot

let's get more on the details coming out of congress from majority leader chuck schumer. he saying as an addendum to not having the minimum wage increase in the stimulus bill? >> what schumer is talking about is an idea that we started hearing about last night from senator sanders and senator ron wyden. the idea is that they can do something in regard to taxes to penalize large companies not paying their workers at least $15 in minimum wage. this could be in the form of revoking tax deductions. the details are being worked out. hearing that schumer is considering it gives the proposal more momentum and possibility to get into the final stimulus package. guy: in terms of how close they are sailing to the wind on this one, what is the mechanism? how close to the mechanism of getting this thrown out are the? -- are they? emily: there is a crinkle in figuring out what has to be done with the $15 minimum wage, but even if it had been approved there would still be a debate because some democratic lawmakers didn't support that. the house is on track today to pass this bill. that

schumer is a better example than maxine waters. stood in front of the supreme court and threatened a couple members of the court. the difference is there wasn't a mob there that had been prepped for weeks and then stormed the supreme court or a portion of the mob. so, you know, that's more political theater from the former speaker. >> harris: quickly because we have to go. what would you say to the president today, former president trump about what's about to happen and what part he should play in it? >> i think he should let the process play out. it is really a pretty simple proposition. you either have the power under the constitution or not to impeach and convict a former president and anyone who tells you, harris, that the constitutional text is clear on that matter is lying to you. the constitutional text is ambiguous. the history is ambiguous, the structure is ambiguous. you can make arguments either way. the senate appears to be the final judge of whether or not it's constitutional. >> harris: saul wisenberg, grade -- great

democrats voting in lock step to approve schumer's plan.ss the aisle. >> we are going to make this work in a bipartisan way. my friends on the other side are going to have input. and we're going to do something that we agree on. >> overnight manchin teamed with main republican susan collins to offer an amendment to target stimulus checks but then manchin sided with schumer's plan, shattering his own proposal. the senate defeated one amendment on a party line vote which would block funding from school reopenings even if teachers were vaccinated. house speaker nancy pelosi told democrats she wants to pass the bill before the end of the month. covid relief now slips behind the scenes for a week or two as the senate starts the second impeachment trial on tuesday. both democrats and republicans are pushing for a fast trial. so far there are no parameters for a trial. former president trump rejected a call from house impeachment managers to testify under oath. his attorneys call it a public relations stunt. bret? >> bret: chad, you explained it w

chuck schumer was engaged in all politics and not focused on facts or reality. the facts and reality are that texas has some of the lowest energy prices in the country. cost-of-living is a portable pier there is a reason people are playing the state of new york. there is a reason people are fleeing the state of california because the cost-of-living is so high. that meant and women can afford to be there but where in texas much, much lower and we just came off of a very difficult week where the grid failed 4 million texans. so we need to have a serious examination about why that was, why the grid became short, but one of the major elements of that is actually the policy that chuck schumer is pushing for the whole country, which is the green new deal. you look at texas right now, about 25% of our electricity capacity is wind. and yet, in the middle of this storm, that capacity dropped all the way to 2%. you want to talk about reliability. the reality in the cold, the wind turbines froze and the power generation wasn't there. that means to be fixed and by the way,

this is a problem for chuck schumer, the majority leader. he says there is no framework for the trial just yet. listen. >> the impeachment resolution on the trial, you know, has been set back because the president keeps switching lawyers. and so, you know, we have to negotiate if we want to get it bipartisan, his lawyers are part of the deal. >> for the impeachment trial last year, the senate set up parameters once the impeachment managers and president trump's defense team completed their arguments. senators posed written questions and then the senate conducted what we'll call a gateway vote. that vote was built into the organizational agreement for the trial. at that gateway, the senate could have voted to hear from witnesses. the senate rejected that. already the attorney for the q-anon shaman has indicated he would be willing to serve as a witness. now, witnesses, if you're going to have witnesses in an impeachment trial, they have to be deposed. you have to have depositions offstage that would probably consume weeks. the trial on the fl

schumer: thank you, madam president. thank you, my good friend from pennsylvania, and i yield the floor. mr. casey: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. casey: thank you, madam president. i will continue my discussion about home and community-based services. it is critical to have these services available for seniors and people with disabilities, and it's also relevant in the life of a child. we know, as the presiding officer knows well in her efforts to provide these services to those in the disability community and among seniors, we know it's important to children as well. medicaid home and community-based services provide over $4 billion right now in support so that children can receive therapy and other

the policy for schumer is he is up for re-election in 2022.he a lot of speculation that alexandria ocasio-cortez who of course is much more liberal than schumer is going to primary him in his re-election. so he is standing out there with the squad, with senator warren to push president biden on canceling student loan debt. halle. >> essentially setting up maybe one of the first fights we've seen, the progressive media, how that shakes out. leeanne, thank you. >>> we are staying close to capitol, waiting for nancy pelosi to talk to reporters, including some of my colleagues this hour. we expect that to begin in just about 20 minutes. >>> in the meantime, all eyes here are on president biden's first policy speech today. we are taking it overseas live for what more leaders are hoping to hear. >>> can you spot what's missing from this supermarket? it's new nbc news exclusive video lighting up social media this morning. wait until you see how the store's owner responds. wait until you see how the store's owner responds >> you don't think masks work

leader schumer and p cert -- speaker pelosi said they would like it to be bipartisan. we will see what comes out of the meeting and if there are good ideas to put forward we will put them forward. there is time to do that and even if through the parliamentary process congress will decide it moves towards reconciliation republicans can vote for that and there is precedent of that. reporter: you mentioned republicans can still vote for the bill even if it does reconciliation, but some republicans claim that's not actual bipartisanship because it's not true compromise. press sec. psaki: i think the one in seven american families who can't put food on the table and the teachers who are waiting to ensure that their schools have the ventilation, the ppe, the testing they need, they will tell you they expect their members to meet this moment. we saw this as a good-faith faith proposal they have put forth to have a discussion. the president is inviting them here in good faith and we will see where it goes from here. reporter: what is the president's message to senators that wi

we have tape from chucky schumer threatening two u.s. supreme court justices there on the steps of the u.s. supreme court building saying "they won't know what hit them and they will pay the price." when does his impeachment trial start? we heard cory booker scream, "go to the hill, get out and please get up in the face of these congress people." he's inciting insurrection. we heard joe biden talk about taking trump behind a gym and beating the hell out of him. i wonder if a conservative said that about him what would the reaction be? over the summer, days after a minneapolis precinct burned to the ground, violent riots wreaking havoc what did kamala harris said? she was encouraging more out. telling stephen colbert, they're not going to stop. beware, they're not going to stop. what? burning down police precincts? they're not going to stop before the election. election day in november. they're not going to stop after election day. you take note of that on both levels. they're not going to let up. they should not and we should not. sounds

schumer is here to talk about another issue. i want to talk about the european union's approach to russia. we know, mr. president, that in february the russian government sentenced alexei navalny, a very prominent opposition leader to mr. putin, to almost three years in prison. and shortly afterwards mr. putin directed that thousands of mr. navalny's supporters who were protesting be arrested. what was he-- what were his supporters arrested for? criticizing mr. putin. navalny's imprisonment comes in the wake of his near fatal poisoning about which we've all read and what happened to mr. navalny should be a wake why up call to our friends in europe. it's certainly a wake-up call to the american people. this isn't the first time that mr. putin has tried to get rid of a dissident. unfortunately, probably won't be the last. ... abroad. mr. putin has made trouble here in america, about which we all know. domestically, opponents of mr. putin have been arrested, they died in prison. in some cases, they have been murdered. we all know t

satellite schumer is telling president biden don't be talking to republicans. if you want to talk to republicans talk to me, which there was a little bit of territorial nature but schumer tends to have a little bit more experience during the bush years. this isn't a pleasant place to be, wasn't pleasant with, with 50/50 center a pleasant place to be with chuck schumer, the 50/50 senate particularly when he has a restive house moving things over his way and the senate is not built for speed. it is not designed to act in as rapid fashion as the house and he has ocasio cortez hanging out there sending signals that she might be a prospective opponent for him in the 2022 democratic primary in new york so he has got to deliver. they have to rely upon every democrat lining up behind your position as majority leader every single day and even then you have to have the vice president to break it down. >> senators cinema and manchin will not go along with far left progressive ideas. karl rove, great to see you tonight. surging numbers in the southern border prompting the

today's one big thing is schumer's tightrope.arn he probably has the hardest job in washington as senate majority leader in a 50/50 senate. how he 1/2 gates will make a big deal on what the democratic legacy is viewed. he is dealing with a bunch of headaches in the chamber. a number of them, including a group of mod rats key in the 50/50 senate, a group of them deciding if a bill gets 50 votes. many of them are going straight to president biden to talk about legislative deals and going around chuck schumer. and in his own party, the progressive wing. it never viewed him as one of them. of course another enemy of his is mitch mcconnell. former majority leader. we can see a sense of how much mcconnell is working with chuck schumer and the two weeks in took in delay in getting an organization solution to make him the majority leader and give democrats control of the committees, and move cabinet nominee. and the republicans in the senate, how they are working with chuck schumer. they don't believe any of the calls for bipartisanship

schumer: president pro tempore. are. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, the senate is steadily confirming members of president biden's cabinet and other key officials. in a few hours we'll add one more to the list when denis mcdonough will serve -- he was the national security council and the white house chief of staff. the v.a. has one of the most sacred missions of all of our agencies, deriving its motto from president lincoln's secretary inaugural address, to care for those who shall have borne the battle. the task of achieving that mission is one of organization, institutional know how and administrative trouble shootling. i'm -- shooting. i'm sure that he is well qualified to take on the job the even as senators prepare this week to sit as a court of impeachment, the senate will continue its work on other responsibilities. committees will continue to process nomination, including the committees -- the nominees to lead the e.p.a., the department of commerce, department of labor, and the office of management and budget. at the same time comm

i think he has a good relationship with senator schumer and senator mcconnell.en was referred to as the mcconnell whisper. they did come up with a budget agreement that lasted for about four years. i am hopeful. he's going to have a lot of pressure from his progressives and some moderates in the senate it can swing the vote when it's 50-50. one senator switches from the party, you've got a different result. i am hopeful for president ayden. i worked -- president biden. i worked closely with bill clinton. i worked with george w. bush. the people voted joe biden as our president and we should be supportive when we can. guest: let me just say, trent enjoyed a remarkable relationship with people in my caucus when he was leader. he was inclusive. that word to me is so important. when i got elected leader, it was by one vote. i had a tenuous hold. joe biden called me and said i want to talk to you about something. he said you probably only got one chairman vote in the caucus. that's got to change. i would like to help you do that. include us. invite all of us to lunch

majority leader in the senate chuck schumer talking to the press right now.eachment will not distract from the stimulus effort, obviously front and center as the impeachment trial kicks off today at 1:00 p.m. the question remains, when his travel going to come, domestic or international? joining us is joe sitt, thor equities chairman and ceo. thor owns property in key urban markets worldwide. you really have a pulse on when we are going to get a recovery. when is it? joe: well, i think that you go through moments in time, going back to march and april, i thought that we felt a great deal of a bottom in the new economy that would be accelerating, mainly e-commerce, biotech industries that were non-communal. when you guys put me face-to-face with comments from bill gates saying the world was coming to an end, i said they had a biased view because they were older folks, so they were more affected by the marketplace. my view was still remembering warren buffett's comments into thousand eight -- in 2008, which said the world feels like it is falling apart, and you

earlier today, senate majority leader chuck schumer talked about providing economic relief to those impacted by the covid-19 endemic. -- pandemic. >> they are marked not with names, but with distances. there is a distance. ok. i am proud to be joined by my colleague i was almost going to say the ranking member, but that was then and this is now. the chair members of so many of our committees that are involved in the covid legislation. first, i want to say a word on impeachment. the senate has a solid -- solemn responsibility to hold donald trump accountable for the most serious charges ever levied against a president. those who say to move on brings unity is false. when you have such a serious invasion of the capital incited by the president, who we know urged people, told people the election was false and urged people to come to washington and march on the capitol. the senate has to find if he is guilty in inciting the violence that ensued. when you have such a serious charge sweeping it under the rug will not bring unity. it will keep the wounds open. you need truth and accountability. i b

well he is controlled by chuck schumer. why is chuck schumer wearing a kenta cloth.-semitic ideology juice foment racial division in order to take over. they push in the kkk ideology, they push for racial division. push for a race war in order to divide the country. so the juice are controlling pelosi. the jews are the elites that have betrade you. how? they betrayed you into wars. they betrayed the white working class into poverty. and who is the representative who is going to save you from the elites, the ones mo control hollywood, the chuck schumers? donald trump. >> how can you know this is their intention and not just something you are describing? >> the way politics works is you can never know. there is always plausible deniability. but hollywood in anti-semitic ideology we've got hollywood is controlled by the jews, chuck schumer wearing a kenta cloth. this is deeply embedded in our social memory. >> you think who ever did this knew what they were doing. and of course it winds up being no coincidence that they gave someone a pass who believes in an organize th

seeing chuck schumer. mitt romney, who by the way, is pretty nimble. i've seen him play touch football. >> to see him run away, to see chuck schumer, it is very visceral. i was surprised by that. at the emotion that that elicited. laura, i have to tell you i'm very surprised by the political positioning that the house managers have used. i think it's incredibly defend defendant. >> praising pence left and right. >> this is mike pence being escorted down. you can choose mike pence or donald trump but you can't choose both here. i think that is a very interesting and, again, effective strategy to make them go on the record to vote against the life of vice president mike pence. >> yeah. explaining that dichotomy, exploiting the fact that the gop is a fractured party right now as you mentioned. some people talking about breaking off to create their own party. charlie depp mentioned it to chris cuomo last night. the idea here -- you saw this also in the video of the chance of destroy the gop, right? there's a fracture here that trump was able to exploit but

chucky schumer physically threatened two u.s. supreme court justices right on the steps of the united states supreme court building based on his standards. chuck schumer needs to be impeached. republicans, you ought to put forward the article. if you're going to scol their standards, maxine waters encouraged her supporters to harass and attack white house employees, remember, and follow them into the grocery store and create a crowd and get in their faces. they aren't wanted anywhere anymore, and don't forget, she also said i'm going to take trump out tonight. that sounds like a threat of murder. joe biden openly fantasizing about taking a sitting president, donald trump, behind the gym and beating the hell out of him. that sounds like a threat. sounds insurrectionist, and almost every democrat excused, ignored or condone the violent riots from over the summer. so let's focus now on applying these same standards to all of these democrats and we'll start tonight with one person in particular. now, remember, days after a minneapoli

schumer, majority leader of the united states senate. senator schumer: fellow congressional leaders, mayor bowser, officers of the metropolitan police department, the united states capitol police, officer brian sicknick's commanders, the book of matthew reminds us. blessed are the peacekeepers for they shall be called the children of god. today, we gather to honor officer brian sicknick, a new jersey native, a national air guard veteran, and a 12-year member of the capitol police force. a peacekeeper, not only in duty, but in spirit. talk to his colleagues and they will tell you that brian was a kind and humble man with profound inner strength. the quiet rock of his unit. they will tell you that brian was dependable, never missed a radio call. they will tell you that he took great pride in his job, never more so than when he became a mountain bike officer on the first responders unit. and they will tell you that brian wouldn't have liked this attention, and that if he were here, he'd the first to puncture the somber moment with his sharp

no, you do not see this from senators schumer and mcconnell. they have a minimally functional relationship. it is tense. as the viewers may know, this power-sharing agreement was delayed for quite a while because we did not know until january 5 who ultimately would be in the majority. subsequent to that, the twin democratic victories in georgia, we had hardball being played by senator mcconnell, now the minority leader for whom the , filibuster is his most potent weapon, trying to ensure that no agreement was in the offing unless schumer forced more changes to the filibuster rule. he has dropped that, so we should be on the cusp of getting something quickly. it will be grudging. i don't think you will hear those adjectives when they do a press conference. host: we will do the comparison when that happens. duane in jamaica, new york. independent. good morning. caller: this is why a lot of us voters are so frustrated with washington. this is very simple. it may not be as simple as mr. hawkings explained, but elections have consequences. the democ
