[indiscernible conversation] senator schumer: we would like to get the supplemental package moved as quickly as possible because the needs are as great as possible in israel and ukraine. and i'm working with leader mcconnell to get it done asap. [indiscernible question] senator schumer: if you allow hamas to continue to exist as is, the same thing will happen again and we have to do everything to prevent that from happening.

now senator cardin. >> let me thank senator schumer. he is expressed to the deal i thinkk we all feel, the shock ad horror of what hamas the bid and the atrocities they committed. it's unspeakable land every day we see more images that he just sickens us and recognizes how vulnerable we all are. as the chair of the senate foreign relations committee, let me tell you what our priorities. my priorities. first, supporting israel. we will do everything we need to do to help israel defend itself. today there's aae resolution tht was filed in the united states senate. i want to thank the majority end of the minority leader for offering and leading on that resolution. it enjoys the cosponsorship of 99 of our colleagues to show the bipartisan unified support for israel. we need to take up the supplemental appropriation as soon as possible. israel needs replenishment so the interceptors, they need precisionle missiles, munitions. we are making that available but on an ongoing basis we need to replenish the resources for that to happen. and third

chuck schumer is the senate majority leader. perhaps the thinking is the congressional leaders, who have their constituencies in u.s. businesses, and u.s. businesses have great interest in having a better u.s.-china relationship, that perhaps this is a different strategy. again, the ultimate prize perhaps would be a meeting in san francisco next month on the sidelines of aipac between biden and xi. it's not even confirmed xi will go. but this is a positive sign. among the main notes schumer did mention on the china-u.s. relationship, he told xi u.s. wants fairness and stability and doesn't think there is economic reciprocity right now. he made it clear the u.s. cannot sit idly by in the face of actions where china is intimidating u.s. businesses good we have a second -- businesses. we have a second soundbite. >> we may clear the united states cannot sit idly by and we must address the chinese governments forced technology transfers, theft of intellectual property, and intimidation of u.s. businesses operating in china. we made a

biden administration doing it chuck schumer doing it disgusting a slap in the face to moms that lostntanyl. >> why? i don't understand all of us can see plain sight that there is a national security threat underway with communist china you mentioned surveillance balloon police stations in new york, cross america chinese police stations you've got bullying international waters, international air planes and our ships i don't understand what is biden administration trying to do here what is chuck schumer think he is getting out of this? >> schumer generally travels to get awarding maybe this could wards for passing chips bill allows intel to continue expanding china with tax dollars maybe, blocking a bill that would stop, you know america from importing solar panels, for slave labor in china what he did i don't know why it is pure appeasement why individuals are going. china lies cheats and steals there is nothing good about their government, they are despicable i believe john ratcliffe told me strategy is simply rob, replicate, replace what they do to companies want to open up shop in

some chuck schumer, senator schumer saying she had incredible integrity. she sparkled like a diamond in the senate, but i thought was lovely. and nancy pelosi talking about the many tributes she's been getting from the forty-niners to the blue angels today. yeah. we also heard mayor london breed the second woman mayor. >> of the city of san francisco recalling back to when she was 13 years old and she played for mayor feinstein's band she thanked the mayor for creating a world where people could accept that women could be in we also heard some pretty touching remarks from, as you mentioned, chuck schumer and also very powerful remarks feinstein's own granddaughter as well. yeah, that was actually very sweet. they sang you are my sunshine together. >> and she ended by saying you will always be my sunshine. all right. but we also heard michael people. talking about how tough and persistent she was. nancy pelosi laughing about the fact people wore t-shirts. that said i survived feinstein staff meeting. >> you that resonated with you. >> now, i mean, dianne wa

. fix, was lost to chuck schumer. sigh of relief.re will be no government shutdown. democrats have said from the start of the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship. we are glad speaker mccarthy has finally heeded our message. in the end, more democrats supported this bill in the houston republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. bipartisanship was the best answerallalong. i bipartisanship was the best answer all along. i want to thank my colleagues here in the senate, especially our appropriate. madam president susan collins and senator mcconnell. they set the tone for the bill we are about to pass. our bipartisanship made this possible. it showed the house they had to act. we will keep the government open for 45 days with a clean cr at current funding levels and we avoided all of the extreme, nasty and harmful cuts maga republicans wanted. no further cuts across the board. note 30% cuts to things like healthcare, the social security administration, the nutrition programmes for kids. forthe t

[applause] senator schumer: we share your pain. we ache. but we have your back.coming weeks, under my leadership, with the good support of senator mcconnell who you heard from a few minutes ago, the united states senate will do everything possible to help israel win and totally eliminate the threat hamas presents. [applause] senator schumer: this is a trip i will remember for the rest of my life. the visit to the only jewish state on earth facing the darkest hour in its 75-year history. we met with israel's most senior leadership, the most memorable meeting was with 12 families of hostages. nothing prepared us for the grief we felt talking to the families. there was not a dry room in the -- dry eye in the room from our side. 12-year-old boy being led away. 60-year-old elderly woman being taken and watching their families look at them as one of them said every second is a year as they sit with the agony of what is happening to their loved ones. hamas is brutal. hamas is brutal. and being with the hostages broke our hearts. today, unfortunately, that number of host

thank you leader schumer for inviting me. >> thank you. you're gonna do great. she is the greatest already. thank you, everybody. now my colleagues have to go, but i'm gonna say a few words about what happened in the house. ok. so we all know, there's quite a bit of history being made on the other side of the capital as -- the capitol as well. unfortunately not the good kind. yesterday, a small band of maga extremists plunged congress into pandemonium for the first time in history. the speaker has been removed from his position at the hands of radicals that he empowered from day one. what happened yesterday is a failure entirely of the house republicans own doing a disaster years in the making to the great detriment of congress and to the detriment of the american people. speakers boehner, ryan and now mccarthy have all learned the same hard lesson. you cannot allow the hard right to run the house or to run the country or you'll get chased out by that very same hard maga right. you cannot allow a small band of mega extremists which represents just a tiny percent

schumer: now, mr. president, this morning the nation grieves with the people of lewiston, maine, after last night's hombl, sense -- horrible, senseless mass shooting. the shooter remains at large and we pray there is no more bloodshed after the horrors of last night. the stories coming out of lewiston are gut-wrenching, people gunned down while trying to to enjoy their night out at a bowling alley and restaurant. a bowling alley and restaurant, these are supposed to be places where families go to have a good time but now they have become sites, too many places of tragic mass shootings in america. it's beyond heartbreaking that mass shootings like this continue to happen in our country. my condolences with the families and loved ones. i can just imagine them sitting at home and just wondering why did this happen to us. my prayers are and will be with all mainers and first responders as authorities keep working to locate the shooter. today our hearts are with lewiston. now on the new speaker. yesterday a

schumer, aye. the clerk: mrs. fischer, no. the presiding officer: the yeas are 52, the nays are 42, and the nomination is confirmed. under the previous order, the motion to reconsider is considered made and laid upon the table, and the president will be immediately notified of the senate's action. mr. whitehouse: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island. mr. whitehouse: mr. president, i am back for now the 290th time to urge this chamber to act on climate change. i've got my trusty graphic here, which after nearly 300 of these is getting a little battered. this evening, i'd like to talk about two things -- first is the grim parade of climate-driven disasters the united states and the world has experienced over the last several months. then our hearings in the budget committee on the enormous budgetary and economic dangers caused by fossil fuel emissions. let's start with the unprecedented warming the world is experiencing. this june was the hottest june on record. then july became the hottest month o

is what chuck schumer had to say following his meeting with xi jinping.makers in some eight years. >> i also made a request, direct request to president xi that the foreign ministry strengthen their statement on the middle east. which did not even mention the loss -- the horrible gut wrenching loss of civilian life. i am gratified the foreign ministry issued a new statement that did condemn the loss of civilian life. >> chuck schumer obviously was particularly tough on the chinese foreign minister for showing "no sympathy or support for israel during these tough troubled times. again, the state media did put always new statement yesterday as chuck schumer just responded, obviously alluding to the fact that there were losses of life and also what again bruce was talking about, that is the potential connection to tehran and iran's role if any in this. chuck schumer did encourage beijing and xi jinping to use their influence in tehran to prevent this conflagration from spreading further. >> bruce einhorn there. stephen engle as well. more to come here on "da

with chuck schumer saying that he had good news to tell the country, that in fact, him and mcconnell have committed their promise to fighting for more resources for ukraine after the short term funding is ultimately approved and extended for 45 days in the middle of november or so. mcconnell there, also taking a victory lap saying that his caucus, the majority of which is committed to funding ukraine with more american military weapons and resources, that has been set that as of now, this is the short term extension that he and others in his caucus saw a while ago. ali, it seems that we started the hour with uncertainty, but we started the answer as quickly as one could possibly get from the two leaders on the senate side. or does it go from here? >> you've got to love that,'s -- ayman, finally getting some answers here, after a little bit of a waiting game. just enough for us to dinner here on capitol hill. i think things are interesting in the ways that both leaders spoke here on the floor. of course, noting the fact that this is bipartisan in nature, a stopgap spending bill that a

we know that senate majority leader chuck schumer is on site.t, kamala is also there as well. she was a former a san francisco district attorney where she was sworn in by dianne feinstein at that time. >> charles clifford has been at the saint. charles, i keep expecting to see more people walking in. maybe they're just going to sort of bring them all and kind of what's happening. >> plaza at san francisco city behind me there. and and with as we get closer to the start of the ceremony, we are starting to see more and more people trickle trickling in. we governor gavin newsom arrived with his wife, jennifer. we also just saw the vice president's motorcade arrive on mcallister and she most likely went in through the side entrance into city hall. so we're starting to see the crowd really building up here. we've seen a few people come out on the mayor's balcony and kind of look around as we get closer to the start of this event. as we mentioned earlier, security is very tight here. the secret service is here because of the vice president. also the s

schumer is leading the delegation, six senators in china this week.g to china, south korea and japan, gordon. what can get done and what do you make of schumer's response to xi that we're hearing? >> well, first of all, is important to criticize china from chinese soil, so i think kudos to schumer for doing that. the problem with this trip is fundamental and that is that china is putting itself on a war footing, is preparing to go to war. the senate should be in session, passing critical legislation to get the united states ready to go to war. so these senators should be in washington making sure that we can defend ourselves, our friends and allies. nothing is going to get done on this trip and by the way, i don't like the image that china tweeted out of this and that was schumer in a half bat of xi jinping. that's the i'm -- half bow to. cheryl: xi. to xijinping. maria: what is the image specifically, schumer bowing to xi jinping. >> there's a still image. you just saw a video portion of it of schumer in the half bow when he met xi jinping. i don't k

we hate to break into that, but let's go to senate majority leader chuck schumer. he's on the floor of the senate, on the effort to avoid a government shutdown. >> without objection -- >> i move to proceed to hr 5860 -- >> motion to proceed to hr 5860, an act making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2024 and for other purposes. >> madam president, i know of no further debate on the motion. >> is there further debate? if not, all in favor say aye. >> aye. ayes -- have it. >> -- 2024 and for other purposes. >> madam president, i now ask unanimous consent to their be up to five minutes for debate, equally divided between the two leaders or their designated persons. -- the senate vote on passage of hr 5860, with 60 affirmative votes required for passage and with no amendments or motions in order to the bill, prior to the vote, on passage. >> is there objection? without objection, so ordered. >> madam president -- >> the majority leader is recognized. >> i have very good news for the country. democrats and republicans have come to an agreement, and the governmen

it's never been a secret where chuck schumer lives.n brooklyn, and everyone knew how to find his father, abe schumer, an exterminator, when they needed him. chuck schumer went to new york city public schools, then harvard college, then harvard law school. and no matter how much he achieved, he never thought moving up in the world meant moving across the river to manhattan, brooklyn was always good enough for chuck schumer. chuck schumer was not home when those demonstrators who got arrested for blocking traffic in front of his apartment building. he was on his way to israel. >> as the first jewish majority leader and the highest ranking jewish elected official ever in america, i felt i had to be here. i wanted to be here, but i also had an obligation to be here. and we had good and productive meetings with prime minister netanyahu, national unity party chairman benny gantz. we met with some of the families of these hostages today. as a parent or grandparent, it is truly heart-wrenching. we wept as they told their stories. it was such a

[indiscernible question] senator schumer: if you allow hamas to continue to exist as is, the same thing will happen again and we have to do everything to prevent that from happening. [indiscernible question] senator schumer: the house is in a mess and therefore we think the best thing to do is pass a strong, big supplemental with a strong bipartisan support and that may force the house to act. thanks, everybody.

we just heard chuck schumer effectively talking at the end of the vote. we know that it passed, and they're moving on to other things on the executive calendar. the substance of what he said was quite noteworthy because, yes, he's right, there was a big bipartisan vote, and there is bipartisan support for ukraine. the fact that he sort of twisted a little bit in mccarthy when -- what we saw earlier today was mccarthy doing something in a bipartisan way, i wonder how that's going to go over on the republican side, particularly in the house. >> reporter: yeah, look, he's -- schumer's saying there that mccarthy, quote, got nothing. that is the message from the senate majority leader after mccarthy decided against moving forward with a proposal with spending cuts that he had tried to advance but was blocked by not just democrats but some of those conservative hard-liners who wanted to have even deeper spend cuts. this proposal only extends current funding for the federal government for another 45 days. now a little bit more this vote. this vote was approved b

senator romney here and senator schumer and senator cassidy and senator kelly and rosen.o it was a bipartisan group. they met with the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and they said, one of them told me they were shown pictures, we've own shared one at this point with our viewers, but they were shown pictures of a group of children that they say were burned alive. sort of they had no words to describe what they were actually confronted with and what they saw today. but they did have those meetings today. and in addition, as you mentioned, the secretary of state is going to be coming here to israel again tomorrow and sort of a desperate effort of diplomacy to try to get some of the other players involved. i had a chance to speak with senator schumer about what happened here and what is next and that u.s. carrier strike group and here is what we just talked about just a few moments ago. >> leader schumer, thank you sop for your time. in tel aviv you've been meeting throughout the day with the prime minister netanyahu and others. what did you learn here? >> well, first, w

so, i hope senator schumer will make this the number one priority.e's got a lot of things he wants to do. we shouldn't be doing anything else right now, but dealing with appropriations bills as they have been reported out of the senate appropriations committee, we have until november the 17th. i regret the fact that we're not going to be here next week. i think the senate ought to be in here next week working on the appropriations bills because we have a short amount of time and a lot of work to get done. and i know everybody on our side is committed to making this process work and to seeing that we actually can make major significant headway and progress on the annual appropriations process before the next november 17th deadline. and let me just say one observation about that too because i think it's really important as we think about funding the government that we take a look at what's happening at our southern border is an absolute disaster down there. 260,000 people apprehended trying to come into the country illegally in the month of september,

schumer met with xi in beijing yesterday.was part of a delegation of six senators aimed at improving relations between the u.s. and china. schumer criticized china's initial statement on the hamas attacks, which only called for restraint. the country later issued a new statement condemning all violence and attacks on civilians. >>> "the washington post" says republicans turned on robert f. kennedy jr. after he launched an independent bid for president. yesterday in philadelphia kennedy announced he was dropping his bid for the democratic nomination and said he was running as an independent. republicans who earlier supported kennedy's democratic run are concerned he could take votes away from gop front-runner former president donald trump. the rnc called kennedy another radical far left democrat. >>> and the post and courier says the federal regulators issued a yellow warning over the latest cracked pipe found at a nuclear plant in south carolina. th regulatory commission says small cracks have been found a half dozen times in

this something that biden-schumer democrats have failed to do, it is the biden-schumer war and the g.o.p. can seize high ground with diplomatic instructions. then let's not forget, the house republicans passed an excellent energy bill hr1, this was unveiled on this show. which would reopen the fossil fuel spigots and bring back the trump permitting reforms and the house republicans passed a very good parental rights bill. republican leadership emphasizing these accomplished that occurred under kevin mccarthy speakership, then forge ahead and push their conservative reforms including a conservative budget. in other words, they can get it together, they can govern. they will choose a speaker next week and get moving on a new conservative course that will stop biden's big government socialism and its attack on successful businesses large and small. stop the command and control of economy, stop the war against middle class affordability and put america first. for a change. that is my riff on their opportunities. all right, joining me now to talk about the g.o.p. getting it back together, sto

leader schumer, thank you so much for your time. in tel aviv tonight, you've been meeting throughout the day with the prime minister netanyahu and others, what did you learn here? >> well, first, we came with a simple message to the israeli people. we have your back. we feel your pain, we ache, and america will stick with you in this most difficult time. we had three missions, one, to let israel know we're for them. two, to find out what israel's needs are. and we had extensive discussions of the military, diplomatic, intelligence, and humanitarian needs that israel has. but third, we wanted to show that this was bipartisan. so i went two democrats and two republicans. >> senator cassidy, senator romney, yourself, senator kelly. >> and senator rosen. >> and senator rosen. >> and in this time of such partisanship, this is one area where the congress is united. and i believe that we're going to pass, very soon, we'll put together a very strong package. we will pass it soon. we're not going to wait for the house. we're hopeful that if

for example -- the leadership of majority leader schumer will support the workforce training program for new york's semiconductor industry which by the way has seen tens of billions of dollars in new investment because of the chips and science act. this hub will have particular focus on training people from communities historically left behind like women, people of color, to work on the semiconductor industry. the list goes on. we are doing this from coast-to-coast. and in the heartland, red states and blue states, cities of all sizes. all this is part of my strategy to invest in america. and invest in americans. it is working. we are creating good jobs in communities all across the country. including places where for decades factories have been shut down, hollowed out, when jobs moved overseas to find cheaper employment. over the past few decades, these communities have lost more than jobs. they have lost their sense of dignity and opportunity. their sense of pride. we are going to change all that. tech hubs are going to bring this work to where people live in communities all across

senators chuck schumer say he and a group of u.s. into a bomb shelter in tel aviv amid rocket fire. schumer is leading a group of senators, including mitt romney, you can see right there from this photo he posted on twitter, or x. they're meeting with israeli leaders and nbc's reporter spoke to the senator shortly after that episode. >> senator schumer, when you got off the plane, what was the first thing you wanted to tell israel leaders. >> i wanted to tell them we have your back during these awful times. which one of the worst terrorist incidents that we have ever seen. we wanted the israeli people to know that america stands with them. we understand their pain, we understand there need, to make sure that they eliminate the threat of hamas once and for all. >> let's start now. you arrive in the country, and then you have to go to a shelter? >> we had several medians, and then we had a meeting at this hotel. the alarms were off, then we rushed into a room that was secure. we took shelter. >> what was your -- >> we want to tell them

i want to thank majority leader chuck schumer, senator todd young, representative joe morelle, and susan wild on their work to make this happen. representatives of so many of these hubs are on the screen behind me. in front of me. i turned to look whether they are still there. the work they are doing is transformational. for example, a tech hub in wisconsin will bring together research labs, medical device manufacturers, and engineers. they are going to build technology that supports personalized medicine like treatments and therapies specifically tailored to a patient's genetic code and medical records. i believe it will save a lot of lives in the long run. ohio, largest concentration of rubber and plastic manufacturing in north america. in the ohio hub this is a university they'll come together to develop sustainable plastic and rubber technology that can be produced with fewer emission, able to be recycled, and wineo degradable, and nontoxic. which will have a significant impact on the environment. they are also making sure workers get the skills they need to do these jobs. for exampl

all senator schumer had to do is schedule a vote in the senate. mccarthy's clean continuing resolution passed with a vote of 88 senators. well, i hope the majority leader will use the next couple of weeks or remaining weeks in that 45-day reprieve far more wisely than he has used it during the last three months. he promised regular order, and now is his chance once again to deliver it. in the next several weeks i hope the senate will have the chance to visit all 12 of those appropriation bills, maybe bundled as so-called minibuses but to address them nonetheless. but i expect the senate will also at the same time have a thorough debate about our nation's border security or lack thereof. the biden administration claims it's taking action to control illegal immigration, but the evidence plainly shows their policies are making things worse, not better. according to news reports, september broke the record for the most border crossings in a single month. an estimated 260,000 migrants crossed the southern border last month. cbs news is reported that th

saying without any evidence that she is schumer's girlfriend.hat was really a bridge just too far for this judge. he issued this rebuke against not only the defense but everybody involved in this case to not issue anything publicly about anyone on his staff, whether it be, you know, in comments or on any social media saying personal attacks of any member of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate, and i will not tolerate them, and he said there will be strict sanctions if those are broken. it's unclear what he meant by that. he hasn't issued a full order, we do know both parties did go back into the courtroom after everyone was told to leave. so things clearly were discussed. as for now, we have the defense's former accountant, rather on the stand getting cross examined and as we noted, the former president sitting there, and he's engaged. he has been gauged the past three days of testimony watching this unfold as he is really trying to, as he says, protect his brand because a lot is at stake. it is in jeopardy, his brand, at the end of t

let me also thank publicly leader schumer and the senate democrats. because, part of the reason why we had this space to get to a place where we reached a bipartisan agreement in the house is because leader schumer and senate democrats have been working in a cooperative end bipartisan way for weeks in the senate. sitting forth the only path forward. as a result of that, you had house democrats in alignment with senate democrats. both of us were in alignment with senate republicans. both of us were in alignment with president biden. on behalf of the american people. you had the extreme maga republicans on an island all by themselves. as recently as yesterday, they put forth a draconian bill that would have slashed and burned the ability of the federal government to meet the health, safety, and economic needs of the american people. but, largely, as a result of our unity within the house democratic caucus in fighting for everyday americans and putting people over politics, and, because senate democrats had set the stage, thanks to incredible leadership

schumer said on wednesday three democrats and three republicans will comprise the team. he said the trip will focus on economic competition and security, u.s. national security, as well as global leadership and advanced technology. nhk spoke with democratic senator jon osoff who will be making the trip with schumer. >> one of the reasons dialogue is so important is to reduce the risk of inadvertent escalation or conflict. >> u.s.-china tensions have been rising. they deteriorated further after then u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan in august last year. but president joe biden has been sending key members of his administration to china in recent months. >>> vice foreign ministers from japan and south korea have held strategic talks in seoul. such meetings had not been held for nine years. japan's vice foreign minister and his south korean counterpart met on thursday. officials in charge of north korean affairs also took part. they discussed the north's recent moves including its efforts to strengthen military ties with russia. the officials condemn what they

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: first, mr.sident, just a little housekeeping, i understand there is a bill at the desk due for a second reading. the presiding officer: the clerk will read the title of the bill for the second time. the clerk: s. 3168, a bill making appropriations for assistance in israel and for the fiscal year ending 2024 and for other purposes. the presiding mr. schumer: in order to mace the bill on the calendar, i would -- place the bill on the calendar, i object to further proceeding. the presiding officer: the bill will be placed on the calendar. mr. schumer: now, mr. president, on the business of today. today the senate appropriations committee hears testimony from the secretary of defense and the secretary of state on president biden's emergency supplemental request sent to congress to address the national security threats happening around the world. the right path forward for congress is clear. we must stand with our allies in israel. we must send humanitarian aid to innocent civilians in gaza. we must

schumer is the first jewish senate majority leader and the highest ranking jewish elected official in the u.s. his great grandmother and several of her children were killed by nazis in europe. schumer said the visit is meant to show solidarity with israel and its right to defend itself but yesterday the group was rushed to a shelter in tel aviv to wait out rocket fire by hamas. the senators are set to meet with prime minister netanyahu along with israeli president isaac herzog. ann marie? >> hopefully all of the diplomatic work will make a difference. thank you. >>> well, the israeli military says 155 hostages are being held by hamas in gaza while the u.s. state department says 13 americans are unaccounted for. imtiaz tyab asked about freeing those hostages. >> why don't you just release the people who were -- >> look, okay, what we want first of all, we want daily killing to stop. to stop killing, the officials to stop killing and this is genocide here. it is genocide. >> hamas claims 27 hostages have been killed, and israeli air strikes, and others have been wounded. that informatio
