as leader schumer has pointed out time and time again including three times the house democrats and toift the debt ceiling. without fanfare and politicking and brinksmanship it's the right thing to do you can have a conversation about the future spending in america and president biden released from the budget and from the plan investing in the health safety economic well-being of the american people moving forward. and hiding in the witness protection program the undisclosed location. [laughter] they are not serious about moving forward in a sensible way but also but also on the nations debt. and then to cut social security and medicare which we will always vote to strengthen and protect. under the extreme maga republican side as leader schumer has pointed out as je c has pointed out it will have catastrophic consequences and to dramatically increase cost for homeowners and students adversely impact retirees. and then to hurt people throughout america throughout every categoryn imaginable. and then for them to come together and the administration to do but is necessary to raise the deb

schumer refused to rule it out. of course, schumer repeatedly lied about brett kavanaugh just to try to keep him off the court. so, how does schumer or any of these individuals who let our country into a ditch have any standings to claim the mantle of honesty and integrity of the issues of americans. what an honest press used to demand. now, the media, democrats and a few establishment republicans, you know who you are? they're all crowing of the release of the january 6th footage. what were you and everyone else trying to hide these past two years? does anyone think any of these people were planning or capable of conducting a coup against the united states government? come on. for months, all the democrats wanted to talk about it, january 6th. now, we are apparently supposed to accept everything that's ever said about it as the gospel. it is all true no matter what? well, that's convenient. yes, there were people who broke the law. who were violent. they should be punished as we said that very night. but, there wer

schumer is explicit on that point.ause that video contradicted lies told by the democratic party, liz chaney and adam kissinger, chuck schumer demanded our bosses pull this show off the hair. >> he's going to come back tonight with another segment. fox news should tell him not to. fox news, rupert murdoch, tell carlson not to run a second segment of lies. i urge fox news to order carlson to cease propagating the big lie on his network and to level with their viewers about the truth, the truth behind the efforts to mislead the public. conduct like theirs is just asking for another january 6th to happen. >> tucker: it's a threat to democracy! pull him off the air! couple of obvious observations. you don't often see the senate majority leader openly call for censorship on the floor of the senate as if that was totally normal and didn't contradict the spirit and the letter of the first amendment, but, of course, it does. but what's really happening here? what you're seeing is hysteria, the overstatement, the crazed hyperbo

schumer: i have just filed, mr. president, cloture motion that would finally restore to congress the power to declare war. i yield the floor and thank my friend from massachusetts for yielding. ms. warren: thank you, mr. leader. the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: thank you, mr. president. when we left, i was talking about the fact that support from both parties, president trump signed into law a bill to roll back critical parts of dodd-frank. now, i fought against these changes on the eve of the senate vote in 2018, i warned from right here on the senate floor that, quote, washington is about to make it easier for the banks to run up risk, make it easier to put our constituents at risk, make it easier to put american families in danger just so that the ceo's of these banks can get a new corporate jet and add another floor to their new corporate headquarters. i wish i had been wrong. but last week the ftic was forced to rush in to take over two failing bank, silicon valley bank and sig

leader schumer went over this we voted three times to raise the debt limit previous presidents republicans voted overwhelmingly to raise the debt limit when president was in office while he added centrally anddollars to the national debt . most of it through his tax cuts. in contrast in the last congress democrats worked with president biden, passed a budget bill andrews the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars and now speaker kevin mccarthy and house republicans are threatening to default unless they get there way but they won't even tell us what better way is . this walks through the impact to average americans what does it mean when you have a scenario played out but did in 2011 and was ready to even before you get to default there are serious fire locations for the american people. millions of jobs would be in peril if he had equals 65 million people on social security and medicare see their plans disrupted in a tiny state with 2 million people. 18 million veterans could see their benefits disrupted but before you even get to default if you see interest rates rise the way we saw

has been telling for the lastt justu twenty six months, and not just chuck schumer. you we should also tell you that chuck schumer, the senatee ma majorityjority leader, was join this outrage by the senate minority leadeader andr, and thd be a republican , mitch mcconnell. d they were joined by a cascade of other republicans and they were joined by am nort cascade of other republicans, thom tillih carolinas of north , mitt romney from utah, all sharing the same outrage. and from this,e wlee learney two things. one r, you're getting close to what they really care about.y and you have to ask yourself why? why is it so important thatcallin they would degrade themselves by telling such obvious liesorsh and callinip?g for censorship? why? what are they trying to protect? that might be worth exploring and we plan to. and the second thing we learned that might be worth exploring? and we plan to . thd the second thing that we learn from this is that they'rer on the samite side. inorit the senate majority leader joins the senate minority tom ti, thom tillis, mitt romney, they

host: the majity leader in the senate chuck schumer on the republicans energy bill.e are getting your pots on which already you trust on the ise of energy -- getting your lots on which party you trust on the issue of energy. the bill would lift restrictions on the import andxport of liquefied nural gas and eliminate royalties that companies pay to extract fossil fuel from federaland and water and speed federal permits. and on this you could see bipartisan mark and the possility that it could get through the senate because that is being pushed by senator jo manchin the democrat of west virginia. mentioned moved to attack permitting proposals in the annual defense built last year about the efforts crumbled. and in lawrencevle, georgia. republican let's hear from you first on this. which party and why? caller: i only trust the republicans i never trust democrats because of -- they've got all these crazy ideas and may have to include them in everything else. our liabilities are bigger now than our assets. and in our schools, -- host: we are talking about energy and clima

schumer: mr. president.ast night millions of americans , tuned into one of the most shameful hours we have ever seen on cable television. with contempt for the facts, disregard of the risks, and knowing full well he was lying , lying to his audience, fox news host tucker carlson ran a lengthy segment last night arguing the january 6 capital -- capitol attack was not a violent insurrection. by diving deep into the waters of conspiracy and cherry-picking from thousands of hours of security footage, mr. carlsen told a bald-faced lie that the capitol attack, which we also with our organize, was somehow not an attack at all. he tried to argue that it was nothing more than a peaceful sightseeing tour. can you imagine? a nonviolent demonstration. a perfectly fine and appropriate instance of people expressing their opinion. i, so many others who were here in the capitol, and millions and millions of americans are just furious with tucker carlson and kevin mccarthy today. many of my staff were here at the capitol on

schumer: mr. president,. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: first let me thank my colleagues, our chair of the senate foreign relations committee, senator menendez, skein, who has -- senator kaine who has worked on this bill not for days, not for months but for years and never gave up hope. senator young, senator risch, and so many others who worked so hard to make this day happen. so 20 years after the start of the iraq war, the senate finally, finally, finally declares today the time has come to repeal the legal authorities that began that war in the first place. this is bipartisan, and that's one of the beauties of this. democrats and republicans join to say it has been long enough. the iraq war has long been over. these authorizations for the use of force against iraq are no longer necessary for our security. make no mistake, this vote, repealing the iraq war powers, is one for the history books. the american people, as we know, are tired of endless wars in the middle east. every year we keep these aumf's on the books. every year

w i mean, forget schumer. we know what he's all about. >> why isn't mitch mcconnell demanding, demanding answers here? mitch nnelwell, he's not. instead, he hit fox today. and mitch wonders why so many working people don't trust him, why the republican base doesn't base the establishment, has no one to blame but themselves forn the state of affairs our nation finds ourselves in. whetheblame but themser it's th, the vaccine mandates or happpentagon on what's happening in ukraine or biden ur downplaying inflation throughout most of 2020 one , they've fallen into a trapro. making. all these people of their own making. if they're not goingo to tell a, the truth about china or ru the true state of our own ononomy, why would we trust them on anything else? g now, recall that without any evidence, many rushed out to accuse russia of sabotaging its owe lan pipeline last year.u remember, it took seven years to build it. we told you that made no sense. well, now intel agencies are finally beginning to come are clean. it

so leader schumer, i ask you this tonight. who are you?der who poses these far right behaviors here in america, and embrace them in the physical menace sin of politicians like ron desantis? or are you a different kind of leader? when who gives lip service to opposing far-right behaviors here at home, but does not mind embracing them in the form of the israeli prime minister. after the break, speaking of ron desantis, how to beat him at his own game. my good friend, mehdi hasan is back on the show to tell us how it's done. >> when it comes to the authoritarian impulses, nobody does it better than ron desantis. there is his attacks on freedom, urging state legislators to change existing -- -- the form of the israeli prime minister. after the break, speaking of ron desantis, how to beat him at his own game. my good friend, mehdi hasan is back on the show to tell us how it's done. i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing

senate majority leader chuck schumer will not consider the bill.r one, is dead on arrival in the senate. not because of politics, but because it's so ridiculous. and it's been drawn up by a bunch of pro oil senators have no regard for anything else. no democrat has been consulted. house speaker kevin mccarthy believes moderate democrats may support the legislation in the the legislation in the senate. >> if schumer is in conference, there's a lot of people there that wants to make american energy. they want to make merge longer. if they care about lowering global emissions, all they ever do is raise emissions. >> president biden threatened a veto of the bill. the president plans to roll back the president's environmental policies. the congressional budget office says the bill adds $430 million to the deficit. >> neil: chad pergram to that. and now to the oklahoma congressman kind enough to join us. if you take senator schumer at his word, this ain't happening. you're done. it finished. >> well, i think first, neil, thanks for having me. it's sad th

again, it's not just chuck schumer. it's republican senators. all went after us. we're not whining about that. we don't care actually. it tells you everything about the way things actually work. they're not loyal to their voters. they're loyal to each other. they're willing to lie. really lie, and crush people. mitch mcconnell, mitt romney, all weak men, like all weak men, vicious men, were especially angry. watch. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. >> i think it's bull [bleep], when you see police barricades breached, police officers assaulted, all of that, in close proximity to it, if you were a tourist you should have lined up at the visitors center and came in in an orderly basis. >> it's sad to see tucker carlson go off the rails that bad. the american people saw what happened on january 6th, the people that got injured, the do knowledge to the building. you can't hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of t

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: i call up amendment number 15. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from new york, mr. schumer, proposes an amendment numbered 15. mr. schumer: i ask that further reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: mr. president, i ask that the senate 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: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the appointment at the desk appear separately in the record as go made by the chair. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the consideration of s. res. 116, which is at the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 116, supporting the goals and ideals of deep vein thrombosis

you and leader schumer sent a letter earlier today saying you might be prime -- [indiscernible] big lie. were that not to happen, what are you planning to instruct your members in both chambers or ask them to do with regard to fox news? are you going to boycott? what's your recourse? mr. jeffries: well, the letter speaks for itself and it relates specifically to the issue of the big lie. which apparently was well understood at the highest levels of fox news. and i think leader schumer and myself simply expressed the position that since everyone seems to clearly understand that joe biden won the 2020 presidential election, that donald trump perpetrated a big lie to the american people that has had dangerous consequences, including a rise in political violence and an insurrection as part of an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power that perhaps it's time for america to be able to move past that big lie, and an important step would be those who know it was a big lie to publicly repudiate it. reporter: and if they don't? mr. jeffries: we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. back.

and again, it's not just chuck schumer. it's republican senators kevin cramer, mike rounds, chuck grassley, john thune, lindsey graham, of course, congressman dan crenshaw. >> needless to say, kelly armstrong, all after us . >> we're not whining about that. we don't care actually . but it just tells you everything about the way things actually work. they're not loyal to their voters. they are loyal to each other and they're willing to lie, really lie and crush people. mitch mcconnell, thom tillis and blm superfan mitt romney all week men and like all weak men , vicious men were especially angry. >> watch. it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict us in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here, a couple facts think it's when you say police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted, all of that or you had to be in close proximity to it. if you were just a tourist, you should have probably lined up at the visitor center and came in on an orderly. i just

senate majority leader chuck schumer was in the room, and now he will be here on "the lead". >>> a plot to kill foiled in michigan as authorities arrest a man they say wanted to kill jewish lawmakers including fwf michigan's attorney general. >>> after six weeks of testimony and more than 70 witnesses, now the jury gets the case in the double murder trial for alex murdaugh. ♪ welcome to "the lead." i'm john berman in for jake tapper. we start with our national lead. moments ago the jury began deliberations in the murder trial of alex murdaugh. the jury will have to decide if murdaugh killed his wife maggie and son paul. more than 70 witnesses testified in the trial, which spanned more than six weeks. murdaugh admitted on the stand he lied to investigators about where he was the night of the murders, but he has fervently denied he committed the killings. murdaugh's defense attorney said today in closing arguments that he could not have committed these murders, but the prosecution pushed back reminding the jury about mur murdaugh's lies. >> alec would not have killed the people he loved t

chuck schumer, reading his letter to rupert murdoch. what else can you tell us about democrats strategy. again, is this about presenting to the public and getting more media tension? because, do they really think a letter to rupert murdoch is going to make him suddenly change his game? >> i think your skepticism is warranted in this regard, stephanie. i think that chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries know that very well. there is no way that a letter to fox is going to make them, somehow, go on the air and going to make tucker carlson admits that behind the scenes he secretly did believe that donald trump was pled peddling lies as a relay so election results. it's not quick to make them change course. it is tier early point about establishing exactly what happened over the past couple of weeks with this dominion lawsuit. this new information has been put into the spare. and just reminding americans what was discovered about this early and early again. chuck schumer, hakeem jeffries, sending a letter will likely not ever get in front of the

they just hated trump all of them, schumer and a whole bunch of them and it is so sad to see that. i don't ever remember another president, i've seen jimmy carter what he went through and what he did. i mean if they're going to get trump for this they need to go back and get carter and some of the other ones and clinton. i mean, bill clinton. he paid off people in there, it's just sad to see. i just hope that like the lady said before me that people can come together and work to make america great again, because a least when trump was in there i could afford to guy -- to buy and egg and make a sandwich. i am retired at 66 and have to go back to work because the last two years the president we have been there took the -- energy subsistence away and everything went up, inflation everything. host: thank you for sharing your view with us. senator chuck schumer, the majority leader and the senate, democrat, new york, put out this statement. "mr. trump is subject to the same laws as every american's, he will be able to avail himself of the legal system and the jury, not politics to deter

senator chuck schumer joins me now. i think, senator, my basic assumption about the level of cynicism at that news, or that organization, i should call it a news organization, is so intense that the notion of her attraction seems not likely. but it was interesting to me that you focused on that. why? >> let me say this, first, chris. i feel this passion. our democracy has been at a greater risk than it is ever been. probably the number one reason is that people are losing faith in the veracity and reliability of our elections. elections are at the wellspring of our democracy. that was the core of what the founding fathers set up. you line up at the polling place on november 9th, you go in the poll, do your duty, and the next day everyone would abide by the results, even if people didn't like them. remember bush v. gore. what has happened is an amazing third, two thirds of republicans believe the big lie with the election was not a level, it was fixed. if that happens, i worry about our democracy. i worry. this is been a

click senate majority leader chuck schumer and other democratic leaders involved in the budget process spoke about president biden's newly released 2020 budget. the totaling 6.8 trillion dollars. it includes the tax hike on higher income earners and corporations an increase in spending for the military and additional money for the ukraine and its war against russia. >> i get so used to them, i reach in my pocket when they are on. first, my colleagues join me in wishing leader mcconnell a speedy recovery. we hope he returns to the senate very soon. ok, and thank you for coming out today for -- as you are heading out for the for the weekend. it's a good day to be here in washington and particularly here when president biden lays out our vision for the country. his budget would impact every family from coast-to-coast. every american family is affected, and positive ways that people really want and have asked for. so this is just a great budget. it fits the needs of american families to achieve and gives them the hope and confidence that america is moving in the right direction and paying

senator schumer has prevented that. we should be meeting right now, we split the budgets into 12 budgets, i'm ranking member on one sub-committee. we should be meeting to talk about reducing spending and debt accumulation. senator schumer will not allow us to meet. when you can't sit down with colleagues, it is hard to put together something to talk to the american people about. no question there are savings to be had in this budget. no fair-minded american believes you can't find efficiencies in a 6.9 trillion budget. >> shannon: you mention spending and that is something we are hearing from house republicans, spea speak mccarthy saying we have to talk about cuts and spending. analysis says republicans do not have clean hands, bear blame for biggest driver of federal debt growth that passed congress over last two administrations. how do you convince your party to stop spending in the same way republicans criticize democrats for doing. >> john: that criticism you just read is correct. there have been any number of bills

you say, hey, we hear the 40 you chuck schumer, you have access to the same video. why don't you just read but the rebut tucker carlson is saying rather than try to call for his censorship because that's really suspicious. and to what extent do you think this is consistent with what the democrats usually say about the freedom of speech on the media? well, it's what the democrats normally say. they say one thing and do another when the democrats are accusing republicans of doing something that's usually means because they're guilty of the same thing with 100 biden's laptop. less answer to anything they don't like is censorship, shut it down, whether they're using big jack, whether they're young, chuck schumer, trying to get fox or shut down. and then the left answer isn't more debate and challenging an assertion made by one. it is to shut down the argument and you only do that when you can't win the argument. i can't help it feel that the timing get this release is very curious. it's been 2 years since january the 6th events. and the thing is that it's now, well, wha

but senator schumer will not allow us to meet. when you cannot sit down with your colleagues is kind of hard to put together something to talk to the american people about. but there is no question there is savings to be had in this budget. note fair-minded american believes you cannot find efficiencies in a $6.9 trillion budget. shannon: you mention spending which is something hearing for republican speaker mccarthy out there saying we are bringing in all-time highs of revenues but we have to talk about cuts in spending. but an analysis is this republicans are not exactly clean hands on that issue. republicans bear at least equal blame as a democrats for the biggest drivers of federal debt growth that passed congress over the past two administrations. so, how do you convince your party to stop spending in the same white republicans criticize democrats are doing? >> that criticism you just read is correct. there have been any number of bills passed with republican support in the senate that added to spending. i did not vote for th

well, i have news for joe biden chuck schumer people all across this country are not happy. countries going in the wrong direction meeting after meeting wyoming last week as i traveled the state, people talked about skyhigh prices, the skyhigh debt we have is a nation in china spy balloon. under joe biden america is in crisis. inflation crisis, energy crisis, crime crisis, and the spending crisis. inflation went up again in january. the numbers came out friday. the headlines do not live or they say inflation remains entrenched, that is a people are feeling all across the country. in addition inflation pouring across the southern border killing record numbers of people even in my home state of wyoming when the numbers are like they are in wyoming, that tells you every state is a border state. crime is out of control and democrats have strongholds in cities like washington d.c. we sit here we see yesterday in chicago the mayor did not even hemake it through the primary process. did not finish first, did nots. finish second, not even in the runoff. and according to people i've

host: cap sumer -- chuck schumer in the senate and chuck schumer was talking about republican plans.lan released from the freedom caucus bear, one -- talking about what should be cut over negotiations over the debt limit. one congressman will be joining us in 10 minutes. he will be taking your phone calls. stick around. it is open forum. this is mika, oakland park, pennsylvania. caller: i wanted to say there has been a lot of political issues and divisiveness. one thing we can be unified on his in 2020, there is 60% support for legalizing -- 68 percent support for legalizing maryland -- marijuana. in 1962, it was 12%. there are very few issues across the country that hold well across parties. the time is right for bipartisan unity. legalize marijuana. host: oklahoma, democrat. good morning. caller: how are you doing today. host: doing well. caller: back when they started with guns in the old days, it seems like the republican party wants to put back to the 1800s where you walk down the street and shoot each other. that is not the way to go. i only have one hundred two eats and now th

and will schumer take that step? americans deserve a fight on this issue.the tragedy and trauma that we saw in nashville directly the result of this kind of mass murder. directly attributable to these military style assault weapons really has outraged america. i think they're sickened and disgusted. no one's been a stronger supporter of assault weapons ban and senator schumer. he also knows how to count votes. so do i. and i think that at some point and time is critical. all of my colleagues as well as supporters and opponents ought to be put on the record. as you just heard in our report. we're hearing from a lot of republicans, at least so far. it's premature to discuss gun control. that's what they're saying. they're defending the right to own assault weapons, urging lawmakers to set aside emotions right now. is there any common ground at all? how are you seeing it? i wish i had a nickel for every time i heard the word premature. in the same sentence as one of these mass shootings when it comes to reform. and thoughts and prayers . we need them for this

chuck schumer decided to do nothing and joe biden did nothing. well, aoc was very upset when she found out that someone in tthe ttgop wanted to stop this bill. >> the d.c. councils have the right to determine for d.c. resresi residents. they can resign their post and run for d.c.'s city council. they are singling out the residents of district of columbia and expanding in the history of disfranchising that goes all the way back of slavery in inin history. she should havn a conductor in using her hands. they can do what they want within their own lelecelectorat >> this is a joke, we have never allowed any jurisdiction of a non-citizen to vote. you have a situation right now if you are legal here in 30 days, you can vote. if you are a foreign national, you are here from russia or china, you now have the ability to vote in municipal elections? washington and d.c. this is outrageous. that's a joke. the d.c. city council is -- the senate did not do their job but our appropriations is coming around and this is not over yet. we are going to take a hard l
