NY congresswoman SLAMS Schumer, Jeffries · INSIGHT TODAY

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: While shut down talks remain stalled, It's clear Democrats remain
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: more dedicated to define Trump than delivering for the American people.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: They're more worried about protesting and protecting illegal aliens than
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: keeping our military and essential workers paid.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Mister President, we're staring into the abyss of the health
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: care crisis here in America.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: The Republican bill is a rous.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's nothing more than another tool for Trump to hurt
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: federal workers in American families and to keep this shutdown
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: going for as long as he wants. This is the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Republican healthcare crisis. It is enormous, it is devastating, It
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: is crushing everyday Americans. And that's why Democrats believe decisive
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: action needs to be taken.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And while the far left faction strengthens, Democrat candidates are
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: turning against party leadership. Even the former White House press
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: secretaries are criticizing the Democrats' latest moves.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Don't start with what the polling says.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Don't start with what the talking points say that are
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: given to you by the DNC or wherever it is.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: First of all, no offense to the DNC.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Burn the talking points in the ground.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: You know these are unprecedented times. You have to lean in,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: you have to fight, and these are the things that
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: everyday Americans are asking for. Where the Democrats? Who are
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: they not fighting?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So what does it all say about the state of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the party and the upcoming elections? I caught up with
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: New York congress Woman at Least Stephonic in Washington to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: talk about it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: All.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, Congresswoman at Least Stephanic, I'm so happy to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: have you on my view.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for me here, excited to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: here today. Congratulations on the success of the show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Listen, we're here in Washington, DC, and we're in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: midst of, you know, almost the longest government shutdown that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we've seen in US history. What do you think needs
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to happen from maybe both sides of the aisle in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: order to finally bring this to an end.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, Republicans have done our job. We
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: passed the clean funding Bill and this is the same
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: bill that Democrats voted for thirteen times, except this time
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: they chose to shut down on the government. They are
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: trying to leverage the American people, hurt the American people,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to focus on their partisan priorities. They want to spend
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: billions of taxpayer dollars to give illegals health care. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: once again, our Senate Leader John Thune has brought up
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the bill to have a clean government funding. Chuck Schumer
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: had the Democrats vote it down for the twelfth time
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: this week. Republicans that are hard at work on behalf
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: of our constituents. And it is a disgrace that because
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: of Chuck Schumer's bad poll numbers, which is what this
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: is really about, Laura, that he is shutting down the
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: government because he wants to protect his own political future. Meanwhile,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the American people are suffering.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are suffering. You haven't had heard
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of talk congresswomen from the Democrats about any
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of that. People also assume, to a certain extent that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing this as another stunt. We know
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: they love stunts. They love to go on the Capitol
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: steps and sing, They love to do time as much
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: time as they can on the Senate floor and just
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: waste everybody's time. This seems like another stunt, maybe to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: gain popularity with their base. But if you look at Appolling,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you know since this summer they've lost several points with
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: their very own voters. What is their plan going forward?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How do you see this playing out for them?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Well, they are losing support among the American people, not
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: just Republicans and Independents, but Democrats who are common sense centrists.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: They are losing their support as well. And in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: case from the New York perspective, what's interesting is it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: New York Democrats that are leading this shutdown. You have
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, who's the leader of the Democrats in the Senate,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and you have Hakeem Jeffries, who's the leader of the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Democrats in the House. Both of them have caused this shutdown.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And it's because what you're seeing play out in New
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: York is the radical, far left socialists are overtaking the
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Democrat primaries and they're both so afraid of what that
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: challenge means for Chuck Schumer and Hakem Jeffries in New
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: York State. And ultimately, who is suffering. It's the American people.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you my district, I represent hardworking people. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: also represent Fort Drum, the tenth Mountain Division, the most
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: deployed division in the US Army since nine to eleven.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And you have Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Democrats
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: not voting to pay them. I advocated, and President Trump
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: delivered making sure those troops got paid. It is disgraceful
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and it is a stunt, but it's much more than
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: a stunt because it impacts people's lives. So we're going
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to continue doing our work to deliver results for the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: American people and fund the government.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Well, thank goodness for that. I'm wondering how all of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this is going to play out about a year from
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: now as we head into the midterms. You know, you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: just had Jensaki say that the Democrats needed to quote
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: let go of the talking points. Is that their problem.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They're just too focused on talking points. They're not focused
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on actually delivering anything the American people are interested in.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's not just the talking points, it's their policies. Their
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: policies are deeply disconnected from the American people. Democrats policies
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: are putting Americans last, whether it's prioritizing billions of tax
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: payer dollars for illegals healthcare. Meanwhile, they're leaving the American
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: people high and dry, not representing them. The American people
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: want America first. Policies that are focused on growing our economy,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: tackling the inflation crisis, which we're working on every single day,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: making sure that we have an affordable country, that we
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: are strong and safe, and that we have a secure border.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Democrats have refused to work with us on each and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: every one of those issues. So it's not just the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: talking points, it's they're deeply disconnected with the policies.
