Channel: unknown
[0]
moment again chuck schumer took to the
[1]
senate floor for a victory lap
[3]
with a twist we have come to an
[6]
agreement
[6]
for final passage of the bipartisan
[9]
infrastructure
[11]
proposal as we move forward we're
[13]
proceeding on both tracks
[15]
the track of the bipartisan
[16]
infrastructure proposal
[18]
and the track of the budget resolution
[21]
with reconciliation instructions just
[24]
what nancy and aoc
[26]
wanted but wait when he said that
[29]
double track thing it's impossible
[31]
because just last week
[33]
so-called republican senator bill
[34]
cassidy of louisiana
[36]
told me something very different we
[39]
think this makes that behemoth less
[40]
likely to pass
[42]
and somehow you are trying if i may
[44]
leave if a mailbar
[46]
if i may we make that bill less likely
[49]
to pass
[50]
but if we sink this bill and you marry
[52]
them together
[53]
it's more likely to pass okay that's
[55]
just what simple logic tells you
[58]
who was right and who was wrong joining
[61]
me now with a final warning as
[63]
louisiana senator john kennedy serves on
[66]
the senate budget committee
[67]
and he voted properly on this particular
[70]
so-called infrastructure
[72]
bill senator uh your message tonight to
[75]
your 18 or so colleagues
[77]
uh who took this uh path to help biden
[80]
threw him a lifeline and now we see
[82]
what's going on going to 3.5 trillion
[84]
now
[86]
well i can just share with you my
[88]
perspective laura
[90]
early on i i was a likely yes on this
[93]
bill i mean you know who's not for
[94]
infrastructures
[95]
i'm for children and prosperity too but
[99]
then i got a copy of the bill and i
[101]
realized pretty quickly
[102]
that if you look up stupid stuff in the
[106]
dictionary there's a
[108]
there's a picture of this bill uh
[111]
they told us it was a real
[112]
infrastructure bill
[114]
it's not only 23 of the bill is
[118]
real infrastructure the rest is green
[120]
new deal
[121]
and welfare they told us the bill was
[125]
paid for
[125]
it isn't we're going to have to borrow
[127]
maybe up to 400 billion dollars to pay
[129]
for it
[130]
they told us there was no there were no
[133]
tax increases
[135]
there are my state's going to have to
[137]
pay 1.3
[138]
billion dollars in new taxes on our
[142]
petrol chemical industry
[144]
uh they told us as you pointed out that
[147]
uh the the democrats were were really
[151]
wary of this bill
[152]
and that it would if we passed this bill
[154]
it would make it harder for them to pass
[156]
their
[157]
five trillion dollar tax and spending
[159]
binge
[160]
reconciliation bill well if that's true
[164]
how come every democrat
[165]
voted for this infrastructure bill and
[167]
finally they told us that
[170]
it's not going to add to inflation but
[172]
it will
[174]
so why what happened with your 18
[176]
colleagues i went through that list
[178]
and maybe with exception of a couple
[181]
senator
[182]
i would say it was pretty much the same
[184]
people who wanted jeb bush to be the
[186]
nominee in 2016. it was kind of like a
[188]
venn diagram it was mostly jeb bush
[190]
people
[190]
which is fine but mitt romney was
[193]
actually arguing that this thing
[194]
would save 500 billion dollars
[198]
so you're saying this the cbo agrees
[200]
with you
[201]
but they're arguing numbers that are
[202]
just false what is that going to do
[206]
uh to the credibility of the republican
[208]
party on fiscal responsibility going
[210]
forward sir
[212]
well i i don't i don't know why it
[214]
passed with 60
[216]
plus votes um i don't know day drinking
[220]
and maybe
[221]
[Applause]
[223]
all i know is for example inflation
[226]
alone which is a horrible tax on middle
[228]
america
[229]
they told us all this isn't going to add
[230]
to inflation but it is
[232]
i mean i don't like to brag about all
[235]
the expense
[236]
expensive places i've been but earlier
[238]
today i went to the gas station
[240]
this bill's going to make it worse it's
[243]
going to make it worse for groceries too
[246]
and and look i'm for infrastructure i'm
[249]
just not for infrastructure at any cost
[252]
i'm for infrastructure i'm not for
[254]
infrastructure no matter what
[257]
and we're going into a fight now with
[259]
the democrats over raising
[261]
the debt ceiling and the arguments and
[265]
taxes and taxes and the argument that
[268]
that
[268]
i'd like to make is which i can make uh
[271]
this
[272]
uh senator schumer this debt is yours
[275]
this debt is yours but the truth of the
[277]
bit of the matter is that uh
[280]
on this last bill the infrastructure
[282]
bill this debt belongs to both democrats
[284]
and republicans yeah well senator
[286]
first of all we appreciate your common
[289]
sense approach to this
[290]
it's common sense it's it's facts versus
[293]
fiction and we appreciate that
[295]
the republicans gave joe biden a
[297]
lifeline
[298]
and i can't tell you how angry so many
[301]
people are out there
[302]
about that one fact it's fraudulent and
[305]
it's false
[306]
and all 18 think they're going to skate
[308]
for six years
[309]
they're not people are going to have a
[310]
long memory about this senator thank you
