schumer: no. >> the sound and the fury, that's from shakespeare. sen. schumer: sen. schumer: i think it's william faulkner. he copied shakespeare. so you get the question because i was thinking faulkner. >> faulkner is one of the great writers of all time. sen. schumer: one of the greatest. yoka yoka pataka. i can never say the county. he has a fictional county, yoka pata. go ahead. >> my question is about security. can you talk about the resources you think are needed and how soon -- sen. schumer: first, we need significantly more resources. obviously in the senate that's controlled by republicans, we need their support. we did get some very hopeful signs in the meeting and in discussions afterward that we would get that support. a good number of republicans in the room, some with real authority on the appropriations committee, said we needed it. and in terms of timing, asap, . people are getting threats all the time. and the number of threats that i didn't even know -- i know most of them -- but some were revealed in that room that i had no, they didn't tell anybod

senator schumer: what a world we live in. a few days ago, we said as much as we despise musk, we agreed that this bill is an abomination. today we agree with virginia foxx. she said, any member who has regrets about his or her vote on the first bill has the opportunity to vote no on the bill tomorrow. she's right. listen to virginia foxx just this ones. >> prediction for the baseball game tonight?

schumer: well done. our next beaker is probably someone who knows more about the pain of gun violence than any other member of congress. >> thank you, everybody, for coming. this is an important but somber day to contemplate what republicans in congress are trying to do with silencers. as i look around the crowd here, there are members of the press and staff members, certainly members of groups like the group founded by myself and gabby giffords and newtown action alliance, moms demand action. i also noticed people just walking up, and i have seen a lot of puzzled looks on people's faces as they listen to and try to comprehend what we are actually talking about here. the legalization of silencers, allowing people to buy a silencer without a background check. yeah, it's pretty nuts that we are contemplating doing this. at least our republican colleagues are. i have been fighting this fight for almost 10 years now, in this issue is rather personal to me. my wife gabby was shot in the head as a member of co

schumer: thanks for joining us today. well, what's one thing has become clear, the more americans learn about this big ugly bill, the more they hate it. we just saw polling data in our caucus that showed 2-1 people don't like the bill. a majority of democrats, of course, but a significant majority of independents and a significant chunk of republicans. our republican colleagues are also starting to see how devastating this bill is. look no further than any good friend, senator till us -- senator tillis. they're busy talking. ok. you want to hold it? i'll do it. so this is a chart that he gave out in his caucus, according to punch bowl, he handed out this sheet that says exactly what's in the bill. thanks, jeff. how much you lose with the provider rate tax, each state. louisiana, $20 billion. south carolina, $20 billion. tennessee, $16 billion. kentucky, $12 billion. ohio, $6 million. and iowa, $4.1 million. that's a lot of money for anybody. so in the caucus, he's handing this out. the republicans are really beginning to

thank you leader schumer and to my colleagues and ranking member whitehouse. i'm a member of the environmental public works committee and so i'm grateful to be here but i'm also a member of the health committee, health, education labor and pension and i think this bill really does encompass everything that we deal with, whether it's health care, whether it's the economy, whether it's the environment and i want to just take one moment to pause and think about the historic passage of the inflation reduction act. the people behind me and around us help make that possible. investments that really do touch each and every one of us and prepare us for the future and so what this fight is about, let me be blunt, that's my name, let me be blunt, what this fight is really about, it is about people, our constituents who are writing into us and saying, my energy costs are too high. we fought to get energy efficiency and things in that bill that would lower the cost of goods for people but also lower their energy costs. this bill is bad for people, this bill is bad for peo

schumer: i really appreciate these great families. we have bonded over many years, over a decade, and i have never met a group so focused on doing some good even though they suffered such terrible losses so unfairly. as i've said to them many times, the natural instinct when something so unfair and terrible happens to you is to curse the darkness. but some people light a candle. which means they work to prevent the same terrible thing that happened to them from happening to other people. not only do they light a candle, they succeeded in having that candle burn bright and we're not going to let anybody put it out. i assure you of that. so thank you. because your inspiration, not just an inspiration on this issue but an inspiration that a group of dedicated people who are just decent, honorable people can actually change significant things in the world. so you're the greatest. ok. so i thank everyone for coming. i won't be able to stay the whole time. there's a lot going on as you could imagine. but i think i'm going to come see -- you

leader schumer to close. >> what a world we live in.ew days ago we said as much as we despised musk, we agreed that this bill is an abomination. today we agree with virginia foxx in a rare moment. let me give you exactly what she said. any member who has regrets about his or her vote on the first bill has the opportunity to vote no on the rule tomorrow. she is right. we tell the republicans who don't like any part of the bill listen to virginia foxx just this once. >> thank you. >> predictions of the baseball game were arriving in jessup, maryland. good morning everyone. welcome as we download equipment from the u.s. army third army corps. what you're seeing here today is right behind me courtesy of our amazing soldiers, starting to downloading m1 abrams main battle tanks and two more to download and you will be here for the downloading of the last two tanks. and then we are going to witch out one of the train cars around and download remaining fighting vehicles. so the first vehicle right there on the train. those are bradley tighting

. >> joined today by leader chuck schumer. we've been working closely with leader schumer and senate democrats any unified way to stop the republicans won big ugly bill from ever becoming law. later on today on the house floor republicans will have an opportunity to stop the gop tax scam and address the concerns that have been raised by dozens of house republicans with respect to the damage that the one big ugly bill will do to everyday americans. the gop tax scam represents the largest assault on healthcare in american history while 16 million americans will lose access to health care in the united states of america as a result of one big a good bill. hospitals will close. nursing homes will shut down and people will die. because they will lose access to the medical care that they need. tens of millions of additional americans will pay higher premiums, co-pays and deductibles. there are more than a dozen house republicans who have indicated that they don't support cutting medicaid for the people that they represent. most hous

we heard chuck schumer who wanted to spell right out. i don't think they will see a single vote on this bill but the democrats, so how effective you think you'll be to oppose the bill that has so many opposers of the bill? one thing will do is strip out provisions that don't comply was senate rules. the conservatives are using or loophole budget related with there is immigration regulations and so forth. those were stripped out of the building. cuts to food stamps, they have been doing this kind of degree of warfare. -- guerrilla warfare, proving unpopular when medicaid assistance others found out they are losing benefits. getting some level of power in washington was there completely frozen out. about 15 seconds left, but president trump is speak of a july the 4th deadline that i feel the holiday here is next friday. it's possible. to start to bid on this bill, it could pass on us and. israeli air strikes in gaza have killed at least 81 people over the past 24 hours. that's according to the hamas-run health ministry. some of the latest

schumer: thank you, amy.e will take questions. >> -- gop proposal includes work requirements for able-bodied adults. working, seeking employment, volunteering, or school. what is your -- do able-bodied adults need to be working? sen. schumer: the bottom line is, that the republicans are trying to cut medicaid for people who need it. the work requirements as we saw in georgia, do you know how many people are unmedicated in georgia after they put in similar work requirements? 5000 after 800,000 eligible. this is a backdoor ruse to kick people off medicaid. millions of people off medicaid, democrats are going to fight it all the way. anyone else? i'm going to say a word or two about our meeting a few minutes ago. first, i want to say that the capitol hill police have been silent heroes behind the scenes keeping members safe, but we are seeing a dramatic increase in threats against senators , congressmen, public officials, and throughout america. these attacks are not just attacks on individuals but on democracy,

schumer, senate democratic leader. mr. schumer: good morning@church. good morning harlem.t is so great to be here with all of you and my colleagues, the beautiful rangel family, and president clinton, governor he cull, leader jeffries, senator gillibrand, speaker pelosi. and all of you. now, whenever you lose a loved one, someone as dear as charlie is to all of us, someone who has been part of our lives for so long, you never know what quality of theirs will stand out as you look back. i am speaking of that special quality in someone that spontaneously just comes to you. over and over again. as you look back. and miss them. for me, with charlie, it was his voice. remember that voice? i think of char he and i hear it echoing around in my head. and in my heart. the voice comes to me, no one, i mean, no one, sounded like charlie sounded. the voice had an instrumental quality to it. it was alternatively raspy and resonant. it whispered, it wailed. he went high, he went low. the voice, like charlie, had so much range. and charlie played that voice like another charlie, charlie

if schumer ends up surrendering to socialists. the rest of the democrats are on their way to surrendering as well. so, unless rich new yorkers ban together, donate a lot of money and create a groundswell for a viable alternative to mamdani, another great american city is going to swirl down the drain. and, when it does, the rest of us should not be on the hook to bail it out. this is their decision and their choice. that's the angle. joined by someone who has a front row seat for this entire circus. mike lawler former congressman and member of the new york state assembly where he briefly served with mamdani. congressman trump said last night's election big moment of history in our country. watershed moment for the democrat party. schumer is in a bind. damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. >> no question. is he petrified of aoc she had probably the best night out of zohran mamdani because she endorsed him and she helped propel him into office back in 2020 when he flipped a democratic seat defeating a democrat incumbent. ultimate

chuck schumer doesn't want to win a national election. he wants to install a single district court judge in a far left community to make decisions for the whole country. that is authoritarianism, fascism, that is not freedom or american democracy. >> jonathan: who is cheering for democracy here? the republicans are the democrats? >> i think at the end of the day it shows the constitution is more powerful than simply putting on a black robe. it's interesting to see the response. i was excited by this ruling. it's a common sense ruling. this should be an american decision, routing for this decision overall. democrats are unhappy right now, republicans are happy, but really i think americans are happy that at last the constitution stands for something. >> jonathan: turning to another subject, the economy and tariffs, et cetera. we saw president trump putting canada on notice once again today. the fight goes on, it seems. but there seems to be shifting focuses and thoughts on tariffs. the president had an interesting exchange with our own luc

thank you very much senator schumer and to be very clear this is not a big beautiful bill, it's a big beautiful betrayal of the middle class and working people in this country but it's the betrayal of seniors in nursing homes where half of those in assisted those in assisted-living rely on medicaid. it's a betrayal of families struggling to put food on the table and it's a betrayal of the middle class. americans know and i'm going to focus here on something that i just don't think it's gotten enough attention in addition to the health care cuts for senator schumer so well articulated. this is cuts of food assistance. in addition to nearly 3000-dollar trump's tariffs tax on every single family in america and food prices going up by more than $200 excess of the tariffs tax the betrayal when it comes to food assistance is going to be very expensive and very other breach were lot of people are 40% of s.n.a.p. participants are kids and 20% are seniors and 10%, 10% are adults with disabilities. this would be $300 billion in cuts. you have heard about the effect it has on hungry people that

chuck schumer doesn't want to win a national election. wants to be able to install a single district court judge in a far left community to make decisions for the whole country. that is authoritarianism. that is fascism. that is not freedom. that is not american democracy. let's talk about birthright citizenship. after the civil war, congress and america came together to ensure freedom for the children of slaves. not the children of illegal aliens. the children of slaves. if you go to the u.n. today, the united nations, you have diplomats from all over the world, none of their babies become automatic american citizens. why? because they are subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign country. their allegiance is to a foreign country. their citizenship is to a foreign country. illegal aliens are no different. in fact, worse. because illegal aliens are expressly from forbidden from being on our soil. their apledge of allegiance is allegiance is to a foreignland. their children are not u.s. citizens and the supreme court has now cleared the way

what do you make of this out of chuck schumer, democrats will back elon musk now?nator schumer demand and support biden's hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful spending on climate change and slush funds and boondoggles? >> yeah, it's pretty rich, because chuck schumer wants more spending and bigger deficits and more debt and elon musk has been great and putting the focus on wasteful spending, things like transgender operas in colombia and spreading dei transgender ideology around the world. elon musk identified that and tried to kill it and chuck schumer wants to restore all that spending and voted in the first place, so he has no standing, no credibility in this conversation. elon musk is helping us cut the debt and deficit and we're excited to move forward in the big beautiful bill. liz: now we've got senator majority leader john thune who says it's just a difference of opinion with elon musk. it's full speed ahead, debate in the senate starts in two weeks to get it done for president trump to sign the big beautiful bill by july 4. can they get it done in t

. >> minority leader chuck schumer other senate democrats held a press conference on their oppositiono tax cuts for high income households, spending cuts legislation for this is about 25 minutes. >> okay, thank you for coming. i'm so glad my colleagues senator wyden and warren, ranking member senior member on the finance committeeee. the finance committee i tried to get out in the house for years with no luck. next thing you had it set next to me. you've got on ahead of me. but we are all happy. all right. so, as you know in the last three weeks the first week we focusedn on medicare, medicaid rather. the second week on a rising cost for families and loss of jobs in america. in this third week we are talk about taxes but they are all related. we all know what they are doing for the giving tax cuts to the billionaires and hurting whether it's on medicaid, on snap, on to somany other issues including taxes themselves hurting the average person and the american family as you can see. four weeks senate republicanss promised they take their dangerous unpopular house bill and fix its worst

chuck schumer, jared polis. governor shapiro.ow about a press conference with trump officials saying we got stop this. right? what would be the problem about doing that? >> well, yeah. that would be great if it could be bipartisan and really face the facts that anti-semitism, you know, standing up to anti-semitism should be bipartisan. i grew up in this country. i remember when that was the case. i remember when democrats could stand up with the jewish community and could stand with israel. it's really sad to see how the democrats have devolved to where they are today. i'm with you, brian, chuck schumer to stand one president trump and stand up against anti-semitism. we don't need any more tweets from chuck schumer. >> lawrence: or books. >> we don't need him to write books. we don't need prayers. we need action from democrats. first thing to do stop the sanctuary city policies. >> brian: the second would be the college campuses. >> ainsley: thank you so much. and ilhan omar, if she would stand with chuck schumer and president tr

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the democratic leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, today senate republicans have to de decide, choose the american people or bow down to donald trump and his coterie of billionaires because this bill, as we have said for months, steals people's health care, jacks up their electricity bill to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. for months -- can we have order, mr. president. all month senate democrats have put this bill on trial in the court of public opinion. we've exposed how it steals medicaid from more than 16 million americans. we've sxhoefd how it takes -- exposed how it takes away food benefits for millions of hungry kids. we've exposed how this bill increases the debt by $3.5 trillion to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. we've shown how this bill increases the debt $1 trillion more than the house bill. we've shown how this bill cuts medicaid even more than the house bill. we've shown how this bill kills climate jobs even more than the house bill. with every rewrite senate republicans have made their bill more extreme

chuck schumer was briefed before.alse and in fact both senator schumer's office and cnn had to retract that story last night, it was a lie and we showed timestamps from the phone calls. i wa unto add something to thomas massie's false points. the president was acting within legal authority as commander-in-chief president of the united states, we gave the calls out courtesy and democrats can't talk about the truth of the success of that operation and success of our united states military and success of this president and this administration in doing something past administrations have only dreamed about. >> president obama did not ask for permission to bomb libya in 2011. >> right. >> brian: you guys are going to nato, so far our nato allies are looking for deescalation, what do you want to hear from them about what we did over the weekend? >> that's right, the president will take off for nato tomorrow morning. one main topic of discussion will be 5% threshold our nato allies has to hit. the president has been calling

hours later, senator chuck schumer democrat from new york responded with his own chart on the floor. senator schumer: earlier today, my colleague from south carolina came to the floor with a pretty interesting looking floor chart, where he claimed that his bill somehow reduced the debt by $500 billion. what a joke. the budget chair respectfully needs to check his math because somehow lindsey graham, the chairman of the budget committee, said that his bill reduces the debt by $500 billion. the budget chair respectfully, check your math, chairman graham. because not one hour ago, the j.c.t. confirmed this bill does not reduce the debt, it explodes it. it explodes it. that's what it does. here is what his chart should have looked like. $4.45 trillion deficit explosion. according to the j.c.t., the republican bill explodes the debt by $4.5 trillion as this chart drawn slightly better than lindsey's shows. for those keeping score at home, my colleague got his math wrong by a whopping $4 trillion. all this, all this just to billionaires are rewarded while millions lose their health care. $

the problem is when it came to chuck schumer, the senate minority leader, i am told the notification he got was very perfunctory and lacked any detail. he was not told which country the military were about to happen in. that gives you a sense of how democrats versus republicans are treated as it relates to this. the white house said hakeem jeffries was not immediately reachable so he was not given the ne-yo vocation -- he was not given the notification at the same time other leaders were. there are members of congress that are required to be notified. the vice chair of the senate intelligence committee, mark warner, as well as the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, democrat from connecticut. what they were saying was basically, not only were they not notified in advance but they were not briefed or consulted the way they have been in the past. they are part of the select group of members of congress called the gang of eight that receives the highest level classified briefings almost in line with what the president receives. host: we have collars waiting to talk with yo

the senate's top democrat, chuck schumer, spoke out against the bill and the damage he said it would cause if passed. if republicans proceed and follow donald trump over the cliff with this bill tied to their ankles like an anvil, they will not only doom their own communities, they will doom their political fortunes - their own political fortunes - and have no-one to blame but themselves. i yield the floor. mr schumer says he plans to force a reading of the entire package, which is 940 pages and could take more than 12 hours. it's being seen as a delay tactic by the democrats, but mr schumer says the american people deserve to hear exactly what is in the bill. we will keep you updated if we get a final tally on that vote in the next few minutes or so. the chief of the un's nuclear watchdog says iran will be able to start enriching uranium again in a matter of months. in an interview with our us news partner cbs, rafael grossi said whilst last weekend's us strikes caused damage to iran's nuclear sites, there was not "total damage". his statement appears to contradict white house claim

chuck schumer should be concerned, and watch out for aoc. this could be a sign she's going to be rising as well. maria: financial capital of the world, socialist mayor potential. have a great day, everybody, tune in tomorrow, i'll be speaking with energy secretary christopher wright. stu, take it away. stuart: good morning, everyone. all right. big story number one, trump wins big at the nato conference. he has received a very warm reception. the europeans are falling all over each other to please him. they have agreed to nearly double their defense spending. he answered questions from the media, forcefully dismissing the leaked report that the iran strike only set back the nuclear effort a couple of months. that report, he says, is flat-out wrong. donald trump now runs the world. he will speak at the nato summit shortly, and we'll bring it to you right there. >>> big story number two, the next mayor of new york city is likely to be a socialist. zohran mamdani, known for his inflammatory language about israel, he calls trump a fascist. he sc

we heard the minority leader chuck schumer, he wants this bill read our page by page. i don't think we will see a single vote on this bill for the bill by the democrats. how effective do you think the democrats have been in trying to oppose, basically, the bill that has so many of the priorities of the president wrapped up in it? one thing they have been able to do is strip out provisions that don't comply with senate rules. basically, republicans are using a loophole that gets them around what is normally a 60-vote requirement in the senate. you can pass things with just 50 votes if it's budget-related. now, the republicans tried to do a lot of things that weren't necessarily budget-related, whether it was immigration regulations and so forth, and those were stripped out of the bill. for a while it looked like there were cuts to food stamps around the bill but i found a way to rewrite that, so the democrats have been doing that kind of guerilla parliamentary warfare. but i think the big moment for the democrats will be the 26 campaign, the mid-terms. they are playing

bill clinton and chuck schumer are playing it cool, congratulating mamdani, not endorsing him. they know if the city wins, the city will crater. when fake moderate abigail spanburger was asked about mamdani, she tried to punt. >> are you concerned you will be painted with that same brush? >> i do not pretend to know anything about new york city politics or outcomes of that election. i know my state, commonwealth of virginia, diverse, vibrant, large state. virginia is an exciting place. >> laura: my goodness, is she a fraud? democratic establishment bes if they oppose him, a chunk of voters will revote just like tim walz daughter. >> i know it might surprise some people, feeding kids lunch, providing child care, having accessible public transportation among many other things are popular policies everywhere. they are popular everywhere. >> laura: you just lost about 100,000 brain cells watching that sound bite. sweetie, if they were popular everywhere, trump would not be president. i have to say, i disagree with some friends who are posting on social media saying let's write off

schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: i recognize the democrat leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, first, let me thank everyone who stayed overnight to take part in the reading of this bill. my colleagues, the cloakrooms, the floor staff, everyone who made it possible. i would say this to the cloakrooms and particularly or great floor staff, you are all amazing. you're the unsung heroes of what goes on here. without you, none of us could do our work. so thank you for your dedication, your excellence, your perseverance, your strength. now, senate democrats will now commence four parliamentary inquiries to show the hypocrisy of what republicans are trying to do here in the senate. and to expose how they're trying to hide the true costs of their billionaire giveaways to the american people. i thank my colleagues who will speak momentarily, as well as all of my colleagues who have come to the floor as we debate this bill before vote-a-rama. before i yield to them, i want to hammer home exactly what is going on here in the senate for the people back home. republicans are abou

s'more schumer: we have -- senator schumer -- with every rewrite, senator republicans have made theirill more extreme. why do they do that? they're the small group on that side of the aisle, maga hard right wingers who are dictating what has happened and all the rest of the snorings on the republican side -- senators on the republican side who know it's wrong go along. a small group, they don't represent more than 10% of the american people, but they're dictating what this body does, a, because of the rules we have, simple majority, but b, because our colleagues on the republican side lack the courage of their convictions to do the right thing for the american people. it's outrageous. cutting people's health care. causing people to get sicker and to even die. cutting people's health care so that it's certain almost that more people will die. host: senator chuck schumer democrat from new york, the party leader there kicking off this marathon session in the senate. a vote-a-rama will take place where senators get to offer amendments to the so-called big, beautiful bill. and they are in

my name is amy karnik and i thanks senator schumer for having us today. the guttmacher institute is a nonpartisan research policy organization dedicated to advancing reproductive health access for all people. it's clear that this reconciliation bill could have sweeping consequences to the national landscape of reproductive health care access, serving as a backdoor abortion ban. all types of sexual and reproductive health care are inextricably linked to self and restricted policies are aimed at one form of healthcare with a targeted provider like planned parenthood the research shows the applications are broad and have a ripple effect. by attempting to exclude planned parenthood health centers from guttural funding streams this would make abortion care even more and accessible it puts 200 planned parenthood clinics the majority which provide working care at risk of shutting their doors. the landscape of abortion access is already incredibly fractured. 13 states are currently forcing total abortion ban and many others have severe restrictions and many clini

schumer, democratic leader of the united states senate. >> to mr., colonel edna cummings, my colleagues in the senate and the house, senators moran and rosen, congress members moore and laturner, but relatives, and now properly remembered six triple eight. [cheers and applause] from 1943 to 1945, 2,000 acres of once quiet new york farmland operated as the busiest embarkation camp in the world. nearly 1.3 million soldiers passed through camp shanks before crossing the atlantic to join the war in europe including the women of the six triple eight central postal director, the only black all female unit to serve abroad in all of world war ii. [applause] today, today, we honor the congressional gold medal, the highest civilian honor bestowed by congress to the trailblazing women of the six triple eight. and by now we know the stories of their heroes oics, their brave heroics, how they sorted millions of mail making sure soldiers received their letters and packages from back home and how they overcame doubt and discrime thaition to get the job done, how t

bill clinton and schumer are playing it cool right now, congratulating mamdani but not endorsing him. they are smart enough to know that if he wins, the city is going to crater and take the democrat party along with it. when virginia gubernatorial candidate and fake moderate abigail spanberger was asked about mamdani, well, she tried to punt. >> are you concerned that you'll be painted with that same brush as the liberal socialist out-of-touch brush. >> i do not pretend to know anything about new york city politics or the outcomes of that election. what i know is my state, the commonwealth of virginia, a diverse, vibrant, large state. virginia a really exciting place. >> laura: oh my goodness is she a fraud. the democrat establishment knows that if they are seen as opposing him, a chunk of liberal urban voters will revolt, just like tim walz's daughter. >> i know it might surprise some people but feeding kids lunch, providing child care, having accessible and functional public transportation, among many other things, are popular policies. everywhere. they are popular everywhere. >> la

senator warren. >> thank you, leader schumer. you, ranking member wyden. >> soon-to-be chair again. >> your mouth to god ears. the republican bill is a twofer. it cut access to health care for millions of americans, for babies, for people with disabilities, for seniors living in nursing homes, and is a giant giveaway to billionaires. republicans get it both. they are able to be cruel to the people who need just a little help to get their healthcare come to be able to buy groceries for the end of the month, and they managed to make rich people even richer. this bill is another effort for the republicans to just hand over our nation to billionaires. i want to call out three particularly filthy provisions that are just tucked down in this bill that illustrate how give it away to the rich guys and take it away from everyone else. the first one is is a giant giveaway to the oil industry talked right into the middle of this bill. there's minimal corporate alternative tax that says once profits which $1 billion you have to be at least 5

leader schumer, senators moran and rosen. congressman turner, congresswoman moore, no male lowbrow as has already been said, it was the model of the six triple eight for my dad in millions of other americans who served overseas during world war two. there were no no emails, no face times, no zooms, no phone calls. my uncle gib was at pearl harbor when it was hit on december seventh, 1941, and my grandparents didn't know for days whether he was alive or dead. letters were the only connection to home, and the absence of those letters. that was a real blow to soldiers already facing constant strain and danger. and in early 1945, the mail situÉ was a big problem. warehouses in birmingham england were filled with a backlog of 17 million pieces of mail. it was estimated clearing that backlog would take six months. enter. the 6888. the women of the six triple eight central postal directory battalion and the only all black and women of color women's army corps unit to serve overseas during world war two arrived in birmingham in febru

out only won't schumer condemn it, schumer wants to pay people like this.rity leader chuck schumer is seeking taxpayer funds for a left-wing group facing a congressional investigation for advising illegal aliens how to evade federal immigration agents. the new york democrat requested $600,000. 600 grand to tell the illegals how to run a red from i.c.e. the taxpayers are paying people who catch them and people help them escape. democrats are lashing out because they did not get their way in november. just because trump is using his legal authority doesn't make trump an authoritarian. unless you are cnn. >> this is not the first place authoritarian regimes have taken over and when you look at what's happened in other countries where that has happened, they use certain issues to actually -- immigration is one, trans issues is another one. and what has this administration really focused on? immigration, trans issues. >> jesse: this is all a performance. every liberal is trying to out liberal the other. actor billy porter says america is not -- nazi germany. it'
