This is the warning. It is Monday, April 28th, and we must talk about the fecklessness of the leadership

of the Democratic Party. It is true that MAGA has a knife to the throat of the American

Republic, but it is also true that all of us, 352 million Americans, are Chuck Schumer's hostage.

It's all well and good to talk about the threat of Donald Trump.

Cory Booker can do it for 25 hours.

But unless and until the 47 Democratic senators will confront reality,

they are ineffective as a group against Donald Trump.

It is a moral abdication, and it is appalling.

This is Chuck Schumer with Dana Bash talking about what it is that he's going to do.

It's going to hurt every American. It's going to hurt the kids at the universities who've had nothing to do with protesting.

But it's also going to hurt the kind of medical research

and other kinds of great research that is done at Harvard and other universities.

So we sent him a very strong letter just the other day

to asking eight very strong questions about why this isn't

just a pretext. Well, you'll let us know if you get a response to that letter.

I'm sure it was a great letter. I wonder if he still thinks he's winning.

And we will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. No serious opposition party

would maintain this Neville Chamberlain wannabe as its leader. This is an exigent circumstance

in an existential moment. There is no duty more important

than for the 47 Democratic senators elected directly by Americans from their states to sit

together in a room and demand a change in leadership. I'm begging you, Chris Murphy,

Ruben Gallegha, take command of the institution or we will lose the republic. We will lose it
