Chuck Schumer

What he does is he puts a bill on the floor. And here's what he does. It's not a real bill. He -- it's a motion, he makes a motion to table.

The only bills McConnell will put on the floor are so -- they're not small, they're not skinny, they're emaciated, they leave out testing and tracing.

We are pulling our $1.

Well, look, as soon as -- look, if we get the majority in the Senate, and we get a Democratic president, we will be able to pass a bill that really meets --

Do you leave out the kids who aren't getting fed which may not be in their bill? Do you leave out the people who are being evicted from their homes, which may not be in the bill? Do you leave out the restaurants that is shutting down and…

Well, the Speaker is right. First of all, the 1.8 is not really the 1.8 that meets America's needs, as she said. It contains all sorts of giveaways so the President can just give away money and leaves out huge numbers of things that are…

Absolutely right. You hit it before. The right-wing paymasters who want to get rid of the ACA because they don't want to pay taxes, they want to shrink government, the Federalist Society, and the club progressive, they want to drown the…

The bottom line is very, very simple. You can't use the standard you use, if there's debate about it, it's not a super precedent. Roe is super precedent. It's been established. It's been part of the law of the land for a very long time.

Yes, I thought Sheldon Whitehouse's presentation was so powerful. What it showed was for 30 years, there's been a group of hard-right oligarchs who knew that even if they control the elected branches of government, the presidency, the…

They're either -- they either go along with Trump -- look, on the COVID bill, there are 20 Republican senators who don't want to spend one nickel. The greatest economic crisis since the Depression 75 years ago, the greatest health care…

I would -- believe me, on D.C. and Puerto Rico, particularly if Puerto Rico, votes for it -- D.C. already has voted for it and wanted -- love to make them states.

The greatest economic crisis since the Depression 75 years ago, the greatest health care crisis since the Spanish Flu 100 years ago, and they don't want to spend a nickel, because their right-wing finance -- financiers don't want to pay…

This man is an inveterate liar. You saw his debate performance. I thought it was summed up well by Shakespeare. Four hundred years ago, he summed up Donald Trump. He said that he's a -- it's -- let me just get the exact words right -- a…

Well, the reason they're in such a tizzy is, they know that Amy Coney Barrett is so far away from where the Americans -- American people are. She wants to get rid of the ACA, 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions gone.

The gravest threat to democracy in America is President Donald Trump.

If Leader McConnell presses forward, the Republican majority will have stolen two Supreme Court seats, four years apart using completely contradictory rationales. And McConnell has basically decided the rules don't apply to Republicans…

With 200,000 of us dead, we need the CDC desperately.

I contend to you right now that what is worse is the CDC acceding to this interference.

How can you stay the CDC director if that's how you are spending your time?

Yes, I am so -- I am so worried about that. You know, I grew up in a time before Roe v. Wade and what women did, had to do to have the freedom to -- for their bodies -- to use their bodies in their own way, the way they wanted.

Roe v. Wade is on the line. And I was heartened. I was with a group of young women who were born after I was, of course, and after Roe v. Wade had been law. And they realize the risk. They realize the risk. All of America realizes the risk.

This is a consequential and monumental fight and we have to use every tactic. But the number one thing is letting America know how bad this court will be for them, for their health care, for their ability to vote freely, to breathe the…

We are occupying the floor of the Senate and we are letting the American people know how much this affects them.

This nominee and a conservative right-wing court will take away America's rights, will take away America's progress.

We have tactical options to slow them down. We will use every tool in the tool kit.
