DONKEY: Sen. Chuck Schumer Backs Down On Fight Against GOP’s Gov. Spending Bill · The Breakfast Club

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, white supremacist violence. It is always have been the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: number one threat to odd society.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It's a practice club, bitch. Please tell me why was
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I your donkey of the day?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, donkey today for Friday, March fourteenth, go is Senator
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader who broke
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with his party, the Democrats, on Thursday and signaled that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: he will clear it away for a Republican spending bill.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Fox forty for the report police.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I believe it is my job to make the best
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: choice for the country to minimize the harms to the
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: open and not shut it down.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Schumer is only the second Senate Democrat to state definitively
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: his intention to vote to advance the GOP written spending bill,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: but it's likely he'll give the political cover to other Democrats. Still,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Schumer admits he agrees on principle with his fellow Dems
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that the bill is far from ideal.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: D bill is very bad. The potential for a shutdown
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: has consequences for America that are much much worse.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Schumer argued that a shutdown would leave veterans without critical
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: services and could empower Trump to lay off more staff
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: at the Social Security Administration, hurting seniors and people with disabilities.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even more,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: even much more power via a government shutdown is a
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: far worse option.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Now. I don't know what happened between Wednesday and Thursday,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: because on Wednesday, Chuck Schumer said he wouldn't do that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He said Senate Democrats would not provide the votes needed
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for Republicans to advance the House approved deal to fund
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the government through September. In fact, Schumer proposed a one
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: month stopgap measure to allow time to negotiate. And that's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what you should do if you think a bill is terrible, negotiate.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not saying the Republican bill is.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer said that let's listen to him again. Say it. Listen.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: There is nobody in the world, nobody who wants to
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: shut the government down more than Donald Trump and more
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: than Elon Musk. While the CR bill is very bad.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: The potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: are much much worse.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, Chuck Schumer. Oh, Democrats the party of inaction. That's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the difference between Democrats and Republicans. One party is about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: inaction and one party is about all action. Okay, even
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: if that action is harmful to the country, doesn't matter.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They are always doing something. Republicans have an agenda, they
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have a plan, and they stick together, all of them
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to execute that plan. It doesn't matter if Republicans go
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at each other and the media disagree with each other,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because when it comes time to vote, they all fall
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in line. Okay, they get things done. Democrats do not
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: do this, and this is just the latest example, per usual,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the party of an action. The Democrats have failed to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: protect or even attempt to fight for the interests of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the American people. I know Dems don't have much leverage,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but damn it, if you got some.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Use it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Okay. Salute to the good sister former Ohio State Senator
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Nina Turner. I saw her post something last night on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Instagram that I completely agree with. She said, and I quote,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: as Republicans hold a trifecta which means they control all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: branches of government. It was their party's responsibility to pass
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a budget and get the votes to keep government running,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: not the Democratic Party. End quote. Never mind that the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: bill is terrible, Chuck Schuman, you said the bill is
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: very bad. You said the Republican bill is a terrible option.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You said it's not clean, you said it's deeply partisan.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And the most important part, it doesn't address the country's needs.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So on one hand, the government shuts down, and the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: other hand, a terrible bill passes that doesn't address the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: country's needs. So it sounds to me like, regardless of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: how this goes, working class Americans get screwed.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Typical.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, Democrats get pushed around and bullied into doing the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Republicans bidding.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Typical.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So, in the words of DMX, here we go again. Listen.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Since twenty nineteen, I've been getting on this radio and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: telling you that Democrats suck in messaging. I wrote about
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it in my third book, Get on Us a Dieline. Okay,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: but the reason dem suck at messaging is simply because
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: they have nothing to talk about. Okay. They ain't talk
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about nothing. What they talking about?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: What they talking about?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The ain't talking about not that, because they have nothing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about, no identity, no plan, no backbone. Republicans
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are the bullies. Democrats are the cowards, and that's the story. Okay,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: but listen, in order to change the messaging, you gotta
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: change the people and the party. They will always and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: forever continue to have a messaging problem because Democrats have
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a leadership problem. And it's time for the Chuck Schumers
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of the world, the Hakim Jeffreys of the world, to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: step down, go away. We need people in those positions
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: willing to fight. Not only should Chuck Schuman Hakim Jeffrey
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: step down, any Democrat who isn't fighting for the people
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in standard with the party should be primary. Okay, We
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the people have zero confidence in democratic leadership, all right.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: People will continue to have zero confidence in Democrats until
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we get some new Democrats. Okay, don't talk to me
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: about midterms, don't talk to me about twenty twenty eight,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: because the reality is, what's the point of voting for
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the type of Democrats that will continue to do nothing?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: All right? We need to get rid of what we
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: got and bring something new in. I don't want any
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: more cowardly Democrats who are beholding to the corporate dollar,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because when you are beholding to the corporate dollar, you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are beholding the corporate interests and not the interests of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the people. Chuck Schumer, if you know a bill is terrible, Okay,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: If you know this bill doesn't serve the best interest
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of the people, what are you voting for it for? Okay,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You're not even gonna try to put up a fight
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when it comes to budget negotiations. You're not even gonna
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: try to negotiate. Chuck Schumer thinks that by twenty twenty
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: six Republicans will be so unpopular because of the policies
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they've implemented and because the economy is so bad that
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: people will just come running back to Democrats. But does
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he not realize that folks will remember that, you, too, Chuck,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: voted for these bills. Hey, maybe Chuck Schumann doesn't really
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: think this bill is terrible. Maybe he likes the bill.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't have the nuts to say, Hey, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: actually like the bill, and I'm voting for it because
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it's good and I like it. I would respect that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: because I don't care what party does what. I just
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: want things to get done so America can benefit. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: once again, because since everyone is playing politics, it simply
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: looks like one party, Republicans, is about action and the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: other party, Democrats, is not. So what reason do I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have to continue to support the party of an action?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That narrative will not change for Democrats until the people
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party are changed. Please give Senator Chuck
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Schumer the biggest he hull m.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: All right, you gotta be you have to be a
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Republican when you're gonna come out and just say I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: a Republican.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: What they got to do with being a Republican?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Did anything a istion on Democrats? Like I'm earlier to
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: day you was like, what's the point of voting for them?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So it's like if I if I vote for a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: party and I support a party, and I expect the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: party are going there and fight for me, and I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: voted for them and fight for the American people, You're
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: damn right, I'm gonna be on their ass, know.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Like you like can't stand these people
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: like you lay by hate these people like this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: By he going on Republicans and he going to Democrats,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: he going on everybody you an opportunitists.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I do, I do hate people who are not fighting
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: for the American people, who claim to be fighting for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the American people. You're absolutely right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you you are a gay Republican. That is
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: who you are.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not Republican, are Democrat. I'm an American
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and I want the best for the American people. So
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: if this man Chuck Schumer is telling me that this
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: bill is terrible and just yesterday he said he wouldn't
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: vote for it, but today he's flip flopping, yes, I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on his ass.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I will say, yeah, now you're on everybody's ass. You're right,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: you're a gay Republican. You you still on anything, whether
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: it's Republican, whether it's Democrat, whether it's independent. People always
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: hear you talk about Democrats more.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you you get equal opportunities when
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it comes comes to it. I'm gonna think I'm really
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a Republican when I take Ice up on this offer
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and I go on this ride along with them, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I show up to your house and I point to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: your house and I say, that's where the illegals are, sir.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Now, that's where the illegals are.
• 8:13

• 8:15
