schumer: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent 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: mammogram, i have eight requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval the majority and minority leaders. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. schumer: madam president, i understand there is a bill at the desk and i ask for the first reading. the presiding officer: the clerk will read the title for the first time. the clerk: h.r. 3935, an act to amend title 49, united states code, to reauthorize and improve the federal aviation administration and other civil aviation programs and for other purposes. mr. schumer: i now ask for a second reading and in order to place the built on the calendar under the provisions of rule 14, i object to my own request. the presiding officer: objection is is heard. the bill will receive its second readin

senator schumer: there'll be a lot of ideas out there. holly and blumenthal have one, many other people have other ideas. it will be our job to put together as comp rehence ave plan as we can that, a, incorporates many different ideas and b, can pass. we don't want to just put together legislation, it's easy -- well, it's not easy, but it's a lot harder to pass legislation on so complex and issue than to get it done. so that's our job. if you go too fast, you could ruin things. the e.u. went too fast. now they have to pull back. so what we're saying is on a timeline, it can't be days or weeks. nor should it be years. it'll be in the general cat gore of months. yes? i did not. i didn't know that. i leave the safety issues up to the capitol police. reporter: who should regulate? senator schumer: a few people mentioned a new agency. a few people mention and existing agency. a couple of people faulked at nist. that's one of the big questions we have to answer. we'll can't to -- we'll continue to discuss. reporter: was there a disagreement abo

but senator schumer made sure ltthat wasn't possible. and ultimately he will carry much of the blame if the government d shuts down. i yield the floor. to move forward with three military nominations. the senator from alabama. >> mr. president, two hours ago senator schumer announced that

this is a schumer shutdown. he ignored his own commitment to return to regular order, and i wasn't privy to the conversations the majority leader had with the chair and the ranking member of the appropriations committee, but based on what they did and my impression is, they held the hope that somehow we would have an orderly and timely process. i know that's what they want. that's what i want. but senator schumer made sure that was not possible. and ultimately he will blame -- he will carry much of the blame if the government shuts down next

democratic majority leader chuck schumer and g.o.p. minority leader mitch mcconnell updated reporters on a proposed continuing resolution which would temporarily avert a government shutdown. their remarks are about 35 minutes. [inaudible conversations] >> okay. good afternoon, everyone. thank you for being here and i want to thank senators murray, shaheen and murphy, stalwart members of the appropriations committee for being here with us. now, we're days away, once again, from a government shutdown all at the hand of this endless maga madness. the only way to avoid a shutdown is very simple, bipartisanship. we need a bipartisan bill in the house. we need a bipartisan bill in the senate. and then we will be able to avoid a shutdown and keep the government funded. yet, this week, house republicans are trying everything, but bipartisanship, even though everyone knows their proposed cr is a total nonstarter in the senate. and it has no, no democratic input. instead of pretending to aim for bipartisanship. as i said, instead of aiming for b

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, today, the u.s. senate will continue its pursuit of a bipartisan, bridge c.r., to avoid a devastating government shutdown. in a little over an hour, we'll vote on the motion to proceed to the faa reauthorization, which will serve as a vehicle for the c.r. i announced, with leader mcconnell, two days ago. once we're on the bill, i will be introducing the substitute amendment, which will contain the legislative text of the bipartisan bridge c.r., which both -- which the appropriations committee worked so hard on. again, i salute senators murray and collins for the good job they have done. i will file cloture on the substitute and underlying bill. so members can expect to vote for cloture on saturday, if not sooner. things are coming down to the wire. as i've said for months, congress has only one option -- one option to avoid a shutdown, bipartisanship. it was true yesterday. it is true today. it will be true tomorrow. with bipartisanship, we can responsibly fund the governme

schumer: mr. president, i have five requests for committees to meet today, during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority leader and minority leaders. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today it stand adjourned until 3:00 p.m. on monday, september 11, that following the prayer and pledge the journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour deemed expired, the time for the two leaders reserved for use later in the day, and morning business be closed. that upon the conclusion of morning business, the senate resume consideration of the brad sher nomination. further, that the cloture motions filed today ripen at 5:30 p.m. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: if there's no further business to come before the senate, ski that it stand adjourned -- i ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order following the remarks of senators cardin, lankford and lee. the

schumer: thank you. mr. schumer: mr. president. today senators from both sides of the aisle will have a chance to affirm that bipartisanship still rules the day in the senate appropriations process. in a few hours we'll hold a cloture vote on suspension of rule 16 to override the stall tactics of one member who objected last week to waiving rule 16. it's yet another reminder that in both houses a small group of hard-right republicans are dead set to grind the gears of government to a halt. for maga republicans, it's as if chaos is a virtue and cooperation a crime. but i do not believe that this is the view of most members in this chamber, democrats or republicans. the appropriations process has been a true bipartisan success story to date. our colleagues on the other side have asked for regular order, and we have worked with them to ensure we've done just that, just as we did on the ndaa bill. our colleagues on the other side asked for amendments and we have worked with them to consider amendments. and we have worked side by side w

leader schumer said this isn't a serious proposal. mr. mccarthy: i haven't seen the senate do anything yet. in our debt ceiling we put the 1% cut across the board so they passed something out of committee. i would like to see the same thing we watched during the debt ceiling, schumer didn't want to do anything there either. i don't think that's the way you govern. put your ideas up. we're one body, the senate is another body. if they have a different idea but their idea up. let's go to conference and figure out the differences. that's the way the government was designed in america. if the idea is the house has to agree to what schumer want that doesn't work. he didn't want -- it didn't work in the debt ceiling. i don't think it's right that the government shut down. that's why i'm doing everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen if sheumer is doing nothing he must want a shutdown. i don't think that's right. i don't think americans should hurt. i think we should do our jobs. reporter: can you blame your swing state members if

so, thank you again to senators schumer, our great leaders on the appropriations committee. we are committed to a bipartisan approach to governing our country. that's what the american people want and that's what they deserve. >> thank you. >> okay. questions? >> go ahead. >> will you commit to holding a vote on the chairman of the joint chief of staff nominee, and the bottom line is this is a problem created by republicans and it's up to them to solve it. senator mcconnell, senator thune, have said they disagree with tuberville. it's now up to the republican party to get him in line. we're not going to shift the burden to democrats when this is a republican-caused problem. next? >> go ahead. >> (inaudible) >> i've had a conversation with speaker mccarthy and we had a good conversation. we agree cr is the best way to go. he's going to have a rough time implementing it, but i hope he sticks to his guns and i think he knows, i think leader mccarthy knows that if a shutdown happens, it will be caused by house republicans, it will be bad for the country, but also be very bad for

if schumer is doing nothing, he must want a shutdown. i don't think that's right, i don't think americans should hurt. we should do our job. >> can you blame your senate state members that republicans can't coalesce around a deal? speaker mccarthy: i think the best way to handle anything his work through the congress and get the work done and that's what we are doing. >> how much are you certain it's republicans? speaker mccarthy: the shutdown stops paying our troops. how do you have more leverage in that situation. i've watched shutdown after shutdown, everybody loses. i don't know who gets punished in this, i know the american public wants their border security. i know we want to end the runaway spending because it's a hard-working taxpayers money you are taking. the only way you are able to achieve that is to have the appropriation bills we passed out of committee. that's why we have been working hard. there are members with difference of opinions, but don't stop and let's debate the bill. we've got more than 170 amendments. if you ha

schumer: i just filed cloture to move forward on faa.s i said for months, we must work in a bipartisan fashion to keep our government open, avoid a shutdown and avoid inflicting unnecessary pain on the american people. this action will give the senate the option to do just that. now, mr. president, i have four requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that the committee on judiciary be discharged from further consideration and the senate proceed to s. res. 208. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 208, expressing support for september 12, 2003, as national warrior call day. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection, the committee is discharged and the senate will proceed. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent that the shaheen amendment at the desk to the resolution be agreed to, the -- resolution as amended be agreed to, the

but if there is, then it has to be called a schumer shutdown. madam president, on another matter, last week marked the 22nd anniversary of the terrible terrorist attacks against the united states of america on september 11, 2001. the 9/11 attacks are one of those events that we will always remember where we are and what we were doing, juster -- just like i remember when i was 11 years old when john f. kennedy was assassinated in dallas, texas. even though more than two decades have passed since 9/11, the pain our nation endured on that day is still fresh in the mind of many americans, and certainly all of us who are old enough to remember it. we remember the images that covered the front pages of the newspaper and the scenes we saw depicted on our television sets. we remember the bravery of the firefighters who ran into the buildings and the good samaritans who put their lives on the line to save others. but most of all, we remember the people who lost their lives that day, the 2,977 innocent lives, the thousands more who were injured and the co

senator schumer also commented on bob menendez's recent indictment saying he's deeply disappointed.

we are working together well and i always wishing theis best. >> leader schumer?> talk about your goal in that getting closer to getting some numbers for legislation? x ai is where the two or three most serious problems we face in the future but it is also the two or three best opportunities we face in the future. it is very, very important to both maximize the opportunities in the good that ai can do and minimize the harm. quboth of which are very large print our form is unique theop inside forms we have set up and you can see we have very broad based imbalance attendance at bf people who are experts. people who have ai systems in place and critics they are all coming together. the idea is for all of us in the senate to listen to their ideas and thoughts their facts and ideas and then our committees to go forward and move forward with legislation. i we cannot put our heads in the sand. we don't do anything ai will move forward without us and the dangers could beat maximize the opportunities could be minimized. this is going to be one of the most important session

a schumer shutdown. members on both sides of the aisle want an opportunity to participate in the process. they want an opportunity to shape this legislation, even at this late hour, to do as much as we can in the truncated time that the majority leader has allowed us. so i'd urge the leader to let the senate vote on this underlying bill, the milcon-v.a. bill. it's important. shouldn't act like it's a throw-away or inconsequential. we ought to do our work, even under the impossible time frame that the majority leader has given us. i think it's dprus when congresn congress circumvents the normal process when it comes to funding the government. it's no secret that our debt is about 100% of our gdp. we're going to spend more money just paying interest to bondholders on our debt than at some point more than we spend on national defense. interest rates are high, we know, because the federal reserve is fighting inflation caused by too much reckless spending. but as a result, we're also paying more money to our

here's majority leader chuck schumer. >> peter schumer, do you have any reaction to senator feinstein's death. >> very, very sad day for all of us, and i'll be speaking on the floor shortly. >> we will be watching for those remarks on the senate floor any moment now. first nbc's andrea mitchell looks back at dianne feinstein's life and legacy. >> reporter: dianne feinstein, a leading woman senator for generations whose political career in california was launched by tragedy. november 1978, san francisco mayor george musconi and board of supervisors member harvey milk were assassinated in city hall, then board of supervisors president dianne feinstein tried desperately to save milk's life. >> both mayor masconi and supervisor harvey milk have been shot and killed. the event cementing her passion for gun reform. she was elected mayor and became a national figure on democratic are nominee walter mondale's short list for running mate. >> i've had an opportunity now to be the first woman and the first mayor to be asked to go through an interview process, and i view that as a major opening of

and i always wish him the best leader schumer.es. >> you have this for coming up on a next week with these leaders talk about your goal in that and secondarily closer look. >> ai is one of the two or three most serious problems we face in the future, but it's also one of the two or three best opportunities we face in the future. so it's very, very important to both maximize the opportunities and the good that a i can do and minimize the harm both of which are very large. our forum is unique because this is the insight forums that we've set up and you can see that we have a very broad based balanced attendance of people who are experts, people who have ai systems in place and critics. they're all coming together. and the idea is for all of us in the senate to listen to their ideas and thoughts for their facts and ideas to be the nutrient agar and then our committees to go forward and move forward with legislation. we need, we can't put our heads in the sand like ostriches if we don't do anything a i is going to move forward without

>> do you have any reaction to leader schumer loosening the senate dress code? and if back in the-- most if not all republican senators think we ought to dress up to go to work? i can't imagine that we're going to be wearing jeans on the senate floor anytime soon. >> at what point is it proper for the senate to get involved in the -- i know the bill last week, and is the senate pass the point or deferring so long from the house that it takes longer to process things over here and cause a shutdown? >> there are so many variables in your question, chad, that i -- i can't predict in advance how this is going to unfold. what i do think is critically important to the american people is for the government not to shut down, not to shut town. that's job one. with regard to the appropriations process, it had been my hope that we'd be able to pass a series of mini buses and the speaker's hope to pass all 12, and that might happenments not in a week, that's why i'm asking you about the timing of the senate. >> it still might happen, but i can't predict exactly how this end

as the house works out issues with its own version of a government funding bill, senator schumer also commented on senator bob menendez's recent indictment on bribery charges saying he's deeply disappointed. >> saw a minute ago. >> and came in at

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent -- no quorum, thank you. mr. president, as i've said for months, the only solution for avoiding a harmful government shutdown is bipartisanship. we now have four days to go until funding expires on saturday at midnight. we are now right at the precipice. yet, all last week speaker mccarthy, instead of focusing on bipartisanship, catered to the hard right and has nothing, nothing to show for it. now the speaker will put on the floor hard right appropriations bills that have nothing to do with avoiding a shutdown. so this bike, the senate -- so this week, the senate will move forward first. over the weekend, senate democrats and republicans, together, worked in good faith to reach an agreement on a continuing resolution that will keep the government open beyond september 30. we are very close to finishing our work, and hope to release text very soon. this bipartisan c.r. is a temporary solution,

senator schumer put some forward.lumenthal but really everything is at the 30,000 foot level. it's going to take a while to get those details. blumenthal said he hopes to have a draft legislation by the end of the year. that could put passing legislation into 2024 then you're running up against the election. >> we have a little bit of a transmission delay, but let me ask you this. this was a meeting convened by majority leader schumer. were there gop members in the room? was it the whole senate? who was there from the senate? >> there were republicans in the room. all senators were invited. schumer has convened this small bipartisan group. it's him, the senator from south dakota, two republicans, two democrats and it was schumer and rounds who really led a lot of the questions today. and schumer and rounds both said anything the senate does on ai, it has to be bipartisan. even if that means they can't get a bigger bill done, they need to move in lock step on an issue as important as this. >> all right, emily, thank yo

suit or not, fetterman can still hope schumer and biden. they tell him to vote and do what they tell him to do. can he still help the media and still vote for whatever causes they want limb to vote for around they will keep helping him as long as they can. but, for you pennsylvanians out there. he can't help and wearing hoodie won't change that fetterman is not capable of brokering big deals with other members or doing the type of work that voters expect of their senators. because he, like someone like dianne feinstein is simply another voted for chuck schumer to cast. however he sees fit. now, pennsylvania deserves a heck of a lot better. of course, fehrman supporters in the media. they promised the voters of pennsylvania that none of this would happen. they promised that senator fetterman could be just as productive just as effective as any other senator out out there. it is not true. it was never going to be true. the whole thing is outrageous. i'm not going to waste my time waiting for any apology. here's another thought. schumer now ha

but this all came as a surprise today when chuck schumer, the majority leader went down to the senateille that was expected later in the afternoon. schumer set up votes on some of the top brass in the military after saying for months that he did not want to do these nominations one by one. the argument from schumer was that he had no other choice because tuberville later today was supposed to go to the floor and use a rarely deployed tactic to try to bring these nominations to force them on the floor. and what happened was schumer basically said he did not want to put his democratic colleagues in the position of potentially having to vote against tuberville's procedural move. because, doing so could make democrats look like they were the ones holding up these nominations. so, schumer arguing this was a final step that he had to take despite the fact he argues it is dangerous for the senate to begin this precedent where you have these nominations that any one senator can hold them up that they can politicize the military. these are typically nominations, wolf, that are just advanced by

schumer will shut down the government rather than the border.on the top line spending bills on how we're going to cut our spinding and advance policies to reverse the harm in which americans are suffering. reverse those policies, cut our spending. if we agree to do that, i do support a cr that gives us a little bit of time to leliminat the impact of a short pause in nonessential operations that includes securing the border. i hope the senate would take that up and allow us to cut our spending. >> i just want to pause here because we're looking at live pictures of president zelenskyy at the pentagon. he's with the defense secretary lloyd austin and other divisions. let's listen in. >> present. ♪ ♪ >> we see that some em moment there, the president of ukraine with lloyd austin and laying a wreath there at the nempb memorial at the pentagon. this comes as seth listen skit was at the capitol making the pitch for more aid to ukraine. $24 billion in aid. there's going to be a big push to try to et get this in the bill, to keep the government open past

schumer: i yield the floor. mrs. shaheen: madam president. the presiding officer: the senior senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: thank you, madam president. i come to the floor today to discuss the urgent need for congress to provide relief for recent agricultural disasters. i appreciate the circumstances around the appropriations process has changed somewhat since we prepared these remarks, but what i really want to do this afternoon is to highlight the devastating experiences of new hampshire growers this year and explain why it's so urgent for them, for congress to provide disaster relief. in new hampshire, our growers have faced an unprecedented difficult year. a late frost the evening of may 18 caused enormous damage to fruit crops across new hampshire, but especially to our apple orchards. these photos really depict what happened to most of the apple crop in new hampshire . you can see these, these almost look like chestnuts. they're so small and stunted and brown, and this you can barely make out is an apple. and you can see the

the senate majority leader chuck schumer called it a very, very sad day. he is expected to speak from the senate floor. we have received a statement from dianne feinstein's office from the chief of staff that reads -- sadly, dianne feinstein passed away at her home in washington, d.c. her passing is a great loss for so many who loved and cared for her, and the people of california who she dedicated her life to serving. senator feinstein, he goes on the say, never backed away from a fight that was just and right, and at the same time she was willing to work with anyone who she disagreed with if it meant to bettering lives of californians or the betterment of the nation. few women who can be called senator, chairman, mayor, wife, mom and grandmother. senator feinstein was a force of nature who made an incredible impact on the country and her moment state. that from her chief of staff. >> all right. everybody, we are going to go to dana bash who spent quite a bit of time with senator feinstein. can you give me a sense, for you, as to what this means in the co

should he consider that, schumer? >> i mean, maybe he should consider it.igure out how to run the senate. but the bottom line is, look, we're in washington right now because republicans can't even fund the government. they couldn't even pass the bill to pay the troops this week. they couldn't even pass the rule to get to that vote. that's like not striking out in baseball, but simply crashing and burning between the dugout and the batter's box. didn't even make to it a vote. that's how much disarray the republican party is in right now. if we can't fund the government, we can't approve military promotions. we've got really, really big problems here. and it's all because of the republican party has become sub servant to this extremist wing represented by tubberville. >> even republicans think t tubberville is going about this wrong. are democrats going to the mat here over a policy that turns out service members and their families can't even really use?

is it schumer? >> i don't -- it's schumer with his flip phone. >> yeah, yeah.re. >> how do you think we work this thing here? >> what's interesting is you have this going on at the same time as the doj suit went under way and according to reports, yesterday's arguments really did settle on allegations of the company repeatedly used exclusivity to limit competition, lot of discussion about the nature of, jim, what a default search setting means and how much friction there is for a consumer to choose otherwise if they wanted to. >> it's so funny, because it's like the amazon fight at the ftc. they're picking on the things that we love. one of the things, when many people are saying that what we're seeing right now in a.i. is bigger than search, and therefore, even more valuable than search. everyone i spoke to is so happy with something that was developed by google, which is the best search engine in the world. happy with amazon. oh, look, speak of this. speak of the nondevil. >> perfect timing. >> coming off that "wired" interview yesterday where he was asked, s
