| 1:11.7 | They just gave in without getting the one thing they've been demanding for the past 40 days. And while I'm actually gonna be talking about nine members of the Democratic caucus, I'm talking about these eight, because that's the exact number that Republicans ended up needing to break up the filibuster. And that, because there was actually a Republican holdout, Rand Paul. The main thing, they get the 60 votes. |
| 1:27.7 | They vote on a package that includes a stopgap funding bill that will reopen the government through January 30th. Also, the package includes several bills to fund some government operations for the entire fiscal year of fiscal year. Also, the package of funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as food stamps. And the |
| 1:47.8 | Senate deal would bring back federal employees fired during the shutdown and guarantee pay to |
| 1:51.6 | those who either worked without pay or were furlough. Which is something that is normally provided, |
| 1:56.2 | but also something that Trump threatened to withhold. But also a huge thing is that what's missing |
| 2:00.0 | is an extension of the enhanced tax credits that millions of Americans rely on to lower costs for health insurance purchased through the Affordable Care Act. And instead, this deal, it just sets a date for a vote on extending ACA subsidies to take place in December. So there is no guarantee whatsoever that this will clear the Senate, let alone the House. And so immediately, you saw a big, big backlash inside of the Democratic Party with, for example, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying, people want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base, it's about people's lives. Working people want leaders whose word means something. With many House Dems reportedly talking about supporting primary challenges to their colleagues in the Senate. Senate. And on that note, you had Representative Roecona going after Chuck Schumer, even though Schumer wasn't among those who voted for the deal, saying Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can't lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for? And that, as you had Bernie Sanders criticizing the move not only from a policy perspective, but from a political one. |
| 2:51.4 | We're saying that this is the exact opposite of what Dems should have taken away from their domination on election day last week. |
| 2:56.2 | And what the election showed is that the American people want us to stand up to Trumpism, to his war against working class people, to his authoritarianism. |
| 3:05.9 | That is what the American people wanted, but tonight |
| 3:09.3 | that is not what happened. So we've got to go forward, do the best that we can, to try to protect |
| 3:16.0 | working class people, to make sure that the United States not only does not throw people |
| 3:21.7 | off of health care, but ends the absurdity of being the only major country in earth |
| 3:26.6 | that doesn't guarantee healthcare to all people. |
| 3:29.4 | We have a lot of work to do. |
| 3:31.8 | But to be honest with you, tonight was not a good night. |
| 3:35.1 | And Bernie definitely wasn't alone in arguing this point of view, |
| 3:37.6 | especially as most voters, they blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown. With these eight, they caved just hours after Donald Trump was viciously booed at a commander's game. Though again, outside of those eight, not all Dems are unified and being against this. Or you at Abigail Spanberger, who just won our election last week, Virginia's new governor-elect backing the deal. And then with that, one of the state senators, Tim Cain, who was among those who voted for the deal, argued that this move, it's actually the best chance to get the ACA subsidies extended. Saying lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don't, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will. Right, a thing to keep in mind there is that Virginia's home to thousands of federal workers. You also had Jackie Rosen of Nevada, right, another senator who voted for the deal, essentially arguing that it just wasn't worth trying to outlast Republicans because they were more willing to let Americans suffer. Saying, unfortunately, it's become clear as we go deeper into the second month of this Republican government shutdown that President Trump and Washington Republicans are weaponizing their power in alarming ways to inflict unimaginable pain and suffering on working people. Trump and his Republican cronies on Capitol Hill do not give a damn about hurting working people and their conduct over the last month has been nothing short of appalling. Now all that said technically as I'm recording this, not everything is set in stone, but it could take days where a final bill to move through the Senate in the House, which has been out of session since the 19th of September, they'd need to come back to Washington to vote as well, with likely almost every Republican needed to get it passed. And there, while they may ultimately not get much to say in the matter, you had minority leader Hakeem Jefferies, vowing Democrats would fight against it, and adding, Donald Trump and the Republican Party own the toxic mess they have created. But then also with this, I'll say in the meantime, while, you know, that's playing out, the effects of the shutdown, they're only going to continue to be felt. |
