senator schumer is correct.e need to put all the pressure to make sure puerto rico moves from fossil fuel to a more neresilience energy source. and that is the issue. otherwise we are going to be here again, and again. because of climate is a serious issue that is not going to go away. particularly in the caribbean islands with climate change with all of these going in their way. i want to conclude by saying if this is not enough evidence the contract with luma to privatize the electrical grid is failing, then i don't know what is. eaone year ago i said i stood he and i warned the federal government and the people of puerto rico time and again, even before the storm. puerto ricans have been left in the dark by luma. we need a sustainable climate resilient electrical future for puerto rico. today i'm introducing a house resolution to honor the 3000 plus lives lost to hurricane maria and to reaffirm the federal government commitment to the people of puerto rico. it's the recognition of the responsibility that we h

you heard senator schumer talk about that.he money that was allocated for that has not been spent. the majority of it has not been spent yet. the bickering over who is in charge, how to find the right projects, it is slow going. part of that was the money getting there later. it was slow going, but we can hope that after this, they can restart those projects they were working on to make a more resilient grid. host: this is dave from lynchburg, virginia. caller: this is such a perfect snapshot at the federal government at work. one of our representatives give the money and then figure out what we will do. we throw money at every problem and then try to figure out what to do. there is so much waste. it goes into the process of trying to figure out how to help anyone at government's expense. why don't they use their money when i do when i put in a requisition to spend money. i think about it, i scrutinize it. i ring my hand so i don't spend too much of the company's money. why don't we do that for the sake of our grandchildren? w

schumer: mr. president, and i'd like to welcome you and all of my colleagues back from the august work period. i hope everyone had the chance to travel across their states, meet with their constituents, listen to their concerns, and share all the major accomplishments the senate's secured over the last few months. indeed, the senate gavels back into session after a season of immense productivity. when democrats assumed the majority in 2021, i promised we would leave no stone unturned in tarkling the biggest challenges facing our country. 20 months later, democrats have delivered on our promises. we promised to lower costs for the american people in the wake of crippling inflation. so we passed the inflation reduction act to reduce energy costs, reduce health care costs, expand tax breaks for working and middle americans. we also promised to take on big pharma, so we passed historic legislation to lower insulin costs for seniors on medicare, cap out-of-pocket expenses and empower medicare to negoti

schumer: another applause line. rep.osi: i join him in saluting his colleagues and i salute mine. are there any californians in the house? [applause] are there any house members in the house? [applause] i want to salute all of my colleagues, especially our chairs, for making this bit -- this day possible. this is a testament to our unity, optimism, persistence, along with tireless effort. and i want to join leader schumer in thinking our passionate advocates out there whose outside mobilization made a decisive difference, whether it is our friends in the environmental movement, whether it is our friends in labor, whether they are young people who are insistent on this climate legislation, thank you. and today, we hear from a vip, lovette jacobs from the ibew, and she tells us that this will make a substantial difference in the lives of countless families. you will hear from her shortly. when president biden signed the inflation reduction act, he not only made history, he made progress. when congress passed this legislati

chuck schumer and manchin have had a strange relationship. joe manchin's claim that taxing the rich is like inflation for the wealthy americans, he said that is ridiculous. so, a lot of this stuff that they say on tv is different than what they say in a fancy italian restaurant where everybody having a lot of fun, drinking a glass or two of wine. >> ainsley: he also criticized mr. cuomo for redistricting. the funny thing is he will say all of that allegedly at the dinner table. but when the media calls his office to get a comment, they say we decline. >> brian: do you know why it is? because it happened and it's all true and he can't deny it. >> ainsley: to be a fly on the wall well now you are. >> brian: no reason to be a waiter. >> ainsley: no reason if you are going to have that kind after conversation you should maybe ask for a private room at the restaurant. >> brian: if you are chuck schumer, by the way joni ernst is going to be on a little bit later at 8:40 we will talk about that and what she said behind closed doors. >> steve: she is

celebrated the inflation reduction act yesterday at the white house, eachh of us whether it was chuck schumerr the president or in my remarks, we all talked about how this fits under the president's agenda of fairness, equity, of inclusiveness in our society, in our economy, in our prosperity. and it includes of course starting with the american rescue package which rescued that just indeed, our america, our economy, our people from where they had been in the previous administration. the infrastructure law bipartisan bill putting millions to work holding american delivering clean water and broadband with a strong commitment to justice and fairness and equity in the legislation, involving many more people in our prosperity. the pact act, , something we've all worked on for such a while, i salute mark takano, the chairman of the veterans affairs committee, raul ruiz worked with him on this or this legislation, it's remarkable. nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars will be spent to protect the health of our workers and i would love to go into it, our veterans, go into it or if you ask. and then
