The Senate on Monday passed a bill, federal government, throughout January.
00:00:03.340
The bill, which passed 60-40 with support of a handful of Democratic senators,
00:00:06.580
nearly all Republicans will be sent to the House of Representatives.
00:00:09.620
If it passes the House, the bill will head to President Trump to sign.
00:00:13.220
Trump earlier Monday said that he supports the funding deal,
00:00:16.300
which was negotiated between Republicans and gang of moderate Senate Democrats.
00:00:21.220
Nearly six weeks after the shutdown, House Speaker Mike Johnson
00:00:24.200
told his Republican conference earlier Monday that he wanted GOP House members
00:00:30.280
House members were told that votes on deal could begin 4 p.m. on Wednesday.
00:00:34.600
Before the Senate vote, Johnson refused to commit to the deal,
00:00:37.740
deal's key guarantee to Democrats that Congress will hold a separate vote in December
00:00:42.060
on potentially extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.
00:00:46.480
That vote would be on a bill of the Democrats' choosing according to the Senate agreement.
00:00:51.500
I'm not committing to it or not committing to it, Speaker Johnson said.
00:00:57.760
I also have the president, and then I have Fox News.
00:01:03.360
Do you personally approve of the deal that's happening right now in Capitol Hill to MDO?
00:01:07.060
Well, it depends what deal we're talking about.
00:01:08.880
But if it's a deal I heard about, that's certainly, you know,
00:01:14.780
I think based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything.
00:01:23.880
It's too bad it was closed, but we'll be opening up our country very quickly.
00:01:30.320
I have Fox News reporting on the Senate vote as well as Reuters.
00:01:36.280
We thought that this is pretty much how this was going to go.
00:01:39.160
There's a reason they call those test votes and the test vote results.
00:01:42.400
Sometimes the final vote is a little bit different, but that was not the case tonight.
00:01:46.160
It was the same vote breakdown as what we had last night.
00:01:55.820
They needed 60 votes to break that filibuster last night.
00:01:58.820
Here are the Democratic yeas, the same coalition that voted with most of the Republicans last night.
00:02:12.260
Angus King, the independent senator from Maine, who was also voting with Fetterman and Cortez Masto on the previous votes throughout the month of...
00:02:22.480
So this is a show of strength by John Thune because this needed a simple majority and all those Democrats could have stepped back.
00:02:33.820
He was going, I'll make it even simple for her, both in Nevada, both in New Hampshire.
00:02:37.400
Dick Durbin in Illinois, one in Virginia, Angus King in Maine, and then John Fetterman.
00:02:45.840
And so right now, two things happened this morning.
00:02:49.280
The Republicans are all happy because they've won the battle, but five times out of five, you'll lose the war for the midterm elections, and they've got to get on the stick.
00:03:01.700
They've got to address affordability issues and get that in front of the American people, what they're going to do.
00:03:06.140
But what's also interesting this morning is Chuck Schumer, I saw in the Wall Street Journal, I saw in the Washington Post, Chuck Schumer was taking unbelievable heat.
00:03:16.760
The people said that they personally called him.
00:03:19.020
Remember, these are representatives calling Senator.
00:03:21.540
They're calling him and just jumping down his throat, and he was saying, I've been getting calls all evening.
00:03:27.560
I was getting calls all morning, and I don't know what all the anger is about.
00:03:35.960
Chuck Schumer saying to the media this morning that the other Democrats that are so upset in the House that these six senators came across, he says, we told them.
00:03:49.520
Chuck Schumer knew before the weekend that the Dems were about to blink and that the Republicans weren't going to put in the concessions, especially the Obamacare subsidies.
00:03:58.380
And so he's out there today, very interesting, talking to big media, trying to cover his butt, saying, I don't know why they're so upset.
00:04:18.740
Durban went and Virginia, Maine, and, of course, Dan Fetterman.
00:04:23.720
That means Schumer couldn't pull those eight in line.
00:04:30.420
And I take you back to when Schumer sat in the Oval Office.
00:04:33.720
This is a W for Trump over Schumer politically.
00:04:39.060
And they got to go win these midterm elections.
00:04:42.840
And by the way, literally everybody has turned against Schumer.
00:04:57.500
This is the headline from the Wall Street Journal Tom mentioned.
00:05:22.180
Yeah, but it looks like everybody is going after Schumer.
00:05:32.000
It looks like Schumer probably is going to be gone as well here very soon.
00:05:37.160
I mean, if the Democrats want anything, Pat, and you see where the party's going with the
00:05:41.560
Mamdani's and the AOC's and the Bernie Sanders.
00:05:45.400
That's where their party, because they still have no message.
00:05:49.120
That's where they're going to be their default.
00:05:50.460
Well, the Hakeem Jeffries, who doesn't do anything, but everything.
00:05:53.840
Somebody asked him a question the other day, Pat.
00:05:57.280
It's like they're still caught in the Trump world.
00:06:00.500
And unless they start shifting, they're going to be stuck.
00:06:06.420
If she announces she's running for Chuck Schumer's seat, how does she also not run for president,
00:06:18.700
Is she going to make a short run for president to elevate her national exposure?
00:06:23.480
Or is she going to run for Schumer's seat in the Senate?
00:06:26.000
I think the right move, Tom, is Schumer's position.
00:06:36.520
I want you to watch this clip, and then I don't know if I'm coming to you.
00:06:39.120
We're quick at work right now, talking to the Democrat leadership that gets their campaigns
00:06:45.740
funded by these insurance companies, and I sure hope it works.
00:06:48.720
I think that meteorite that hit the Gulf of America a millennia ago that wiped out the
00:06:54.040
dinosaurs is Trumpcare, and it's going to wipe out the dinosaur that's Chuck Schumer.
00:06:58.940
I think Schumer's days are numbered, as everyone else does.
00:07:01.840
I think AOC will take him on in the primary and beat him like a drum.
00:07:06.280
I agree, and I think it's a right career move for her.
00:07:10.480
Yeah, well, he said the word that I was going to say.
00:07:12.300
Chuck Schumer is a dinosaur who's politically homeless in the current Democratic Party,
00:07:19.220
The Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party.
00:07:21.640
It is now the DSA, the Democratic Socialist Party of America.
00:07:26.040
Unfortunately, I would love to see a strong Democratic Party with substantive issues that
00:07:30.660
could combat maybe some of the issues the Republicans are bringing up to the table, but the Democratic
00:07:34.560
Socialists of America, highlighted by our good friend, what a guy, Mamdani, and AOC and Bernie
00:07:41.840
Sanders, it's a shell of what the Democratic Party, Bill Clinton, and even Obama used to
00:07:49.760
They're doubling down on the 20 percent, on the 80 percent issues.
00:07:54.980
And I think Chuck Schumer's days are numbered, and I think AOC is a better representative of
00:08:00.100
what the current Democratic Socialist Party is in America, and we're not going to be better
00:08:06.240
You know when Chuck Schumer's really bad downfall was?
00:08:08.440
When on Fourth of July, he was in front of the grill with a piece of cheese that was just
00:08:14.100
I don't know if you can find this clip, but to me, Chuck Schumer's downfall was when Trump
00:08:18.180
incredibly just won the election, and maybe it was even before the election, he goes,
00:08:23.600
Chuck, your party's become so woke, you know, maybe you can come back as a woman and running,
00:08:29.060
whatever he said, and he's like, he's looking real smug, looking real glum, real glum, real
00:08:45.660
I won't tell you what way that is, but Chuck Schumer's face.
00:08:57.540
But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses,
00:09:04.080
you still have a chance to become the first woman president.
00:09:10.520
Because that's basically what the Democratic Party was at that point.
00:09:17.040
The stuff that he does is Chuck Schumer's face.
00:09:26.620
