WEBVTT

00:01.784 --> 00:05.211
THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO

00:05.222 --> 00:09.525
MARK THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF

00:09.560 --> 00:11.949
THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AT

00:11.960 --> 00:14.403
THE WHITE HOUSE.

00:14.414 --> 00:17.105
>> MAJORITY LEADER, CHUCK

00:17.140 --> 00:20.384
SCHUMER, IS WITH US.

00:20.385 --> 00:25.342
IF YOU WANT TO SUM UP THE

00:25.353 --> 00:29.777
ECONOMY AND THE ATTACKS AGAINST

00:29.778 --> 00:34.892
BIDEN AND THE SENATE THAT ARE

00:34.903 --> 00:38.572
HELPING THE ECONOMY, AND MOST

00:38.573 --> 00:41.256
ECONOMISTS FEAR TWO THINGS.

00:41.267 --> 00:42.732
IT’S TWO THINGS.

00:42.767 --> 00:44.241
ONE, CHINA’S ECONOMY IS

00:44.252 --> 00:46.207
WEAKENING TOO QUICKLY AND THAT

00:46.241 --> 00:49.485
WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON IMPORTS

00:49.496 --> 00:51.978
AND EXPORTS, AND, TWO, THE

00:51.979 --> 00:53.401
UNITED STATES’ ECONOMY IS TOO

00:53.412 --> 00:54.360
STRONG.

00:54.371 --> 00:56.599
NOT MAKING THIS UP.

00:56.633 --> 00:58.396
CHINA’S IS TOO WEAK AND

00:58.407 --> 01:00.274
AMERICA’S IS TOO STRONG, AND

01:00.308 --> 01:02.090
THEY ARE AFRAID IT WILL KEEP

01:02.101 --> 01:03.934
GROWING SO FAST WE WILL HAVE

01:03.968 --> 01:04.956
INFLATION AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO

01:04.967 --> 01:06.366
ROBUST.

01:06.377 --> 01:10.006
I MEAN, THESE ARE PROBLEMS?

01:10.017 --> 01:12.493
IT’S REMARKABLE HOW RESILIENT

01:12.527 --> 01:14.529
OUR ECONOMY IS, ISN’T IT?

01:14.540 --> 01:15.839
>> IT IS.

01:15.850 --> 01:18.081
OUR ECONOMY IS DOING SO WELL AND

01:18.092 --> 01:19.595
IT’S IN GOOD PART BECAUSE OF THE

01:19.630 --> 01:21.813
WORK WE DID IN THE SENATE AND

01:21.814 --> 01:22.976
THE PRESIDENT DID OVER THE LAST

01:22.987 --> 01:24.196
SUMMER.

01:24.207 --> 01:27.185
THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND THE

01:27.196 --> 01:29.592
CHIPS AND SCIENCE BILL, AND

01:29.593 --> 01:32.515
TODAY WE ARE CELEBRATING ONE

01:32.517 --> 01:35.343
YEAR OF THE IRA, AND LET’S GO

01:35.354 --> 01:37.505
OVER WHAT THEY DO.

01:37.516 --> 01:39.216
FIRST, IT’S THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

01:39.217 --> 01:41.825
REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF
CARBON GOING INTO THE

01:41.836 --> 01:43.576
CARBON GOING INTO THE

01:43.587 --> 01:47.088
ATMOSPHERE, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT

01:47.122 --> 01:50.293
CLIMATE LEGISLATION WE EVER HAD,

01:50.294 --> 01:53.026
AND THAT’S CREATING MILLIONS OF

01:53.037 --> 01:55.997
NEW GREEN JOBS, AND WHETHER IT’S

01:55.998 --> 01:57.765
OPENING AN ELECTRIC BATTERY

01:57.776 --> 02:01.042
FACTORY OR IN WISCONSIN MAKING

02:01.053 --> 02:02.671
THE WIND TURBINES, AND WHEN

02:02.682 --> 02:05.637
PARENTS KNOW THEIR KIDS GETS A

02:05.671 --> 02:09.046
JOB IN ONE OF THE INDUSTRY, THEY

02:09.057 --> 02:12.755
KNOW THAT’S LASTING INTO THE

02:12.756 --> 02:14.337
FUTURE, THEY ARE GOOD-PAYING

02:14.339 --> 02:14.964
JOBS.

02:14.998 --> 02:16.064
INSULIN IS $35.

02:16.075 --> 02:17.865
STARTING IN JANUARY, NOBODY IS

02:17.866 --> 02:20.273
GOING TO PAY MORE THAN $3,000

02:20.307 --> 02:21.577
OUT OF THEIR POCKET FOR

02:21.588 --> 02:22.607
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.

02:22.618 --> 02:24.966
A YEAR LATER IT WILL GO DOWN TO

02:25.000 --> 02:28.473
$2,000.
THAT’S A HUGE COST REDUCTION, AS

02:28.484 --> 02:31.022
THAT’S A HUGE COST REDUCTION, AS

02:31.056 --> 02:36.133
IS THE COST OF BUYING NEW

02:36.134 --> 02:38.438
APPLIANCES AND GETTING HEAT

02:38.449 --> 02:40.315
CONDUCTORS, AND WE DID RAISE

02:40.316 --> 02:41.925
TAXES ON THE WEALTHY

02:41.959 --> 02:44.349
CORPORATIONS THAT DIDN’T PAY AND

02:44.360 --> 02:48.283
PUT HALF OF THAT MONEY INTO

02:48.317 --> 02:49.194
INFLATION REDUCTION.

02:49.195 --> 02:50.730
REPUBLICANS TALK ABOUT THE

02:50.741 --> 02:52.674
REDUCTION BUT INCREASE IT BY

02:52.708 --> 02:54.477
CUTTING TAXES ON THE WEALTHY,

02:54.488 --> 02:56.423
AND IT’S A HUGE BILL.

02:56.425 --> 02:58.717
IS IT ON THE LIPS OF EVERYBODY?

02:58.728 --> 03:01.194
NO, BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN

03:01.228 --> 03:02.803
WISCONSIN IS HAPPENING EVERY

03:02.804 --> 03:06.527
WEEK IN SO MANY STATES, AND

03:06.529 --> 03:10.718
RIBBONS ARE BEING CUT AS BRIDGES

03:10.729 --> 03:12.903
ARE BEING BUILT, AND WE ARE

03:12.937 --> 03:15.438
NEGOTIATING WITH THE DRUG

03:15.449 --> 03:17.525
COMPANIES AND IT’S GOING TO TAKE

03:17.527 --> 03:18.076
PERSISTENCE.

03:18.077 --> 03:21.167
WE GOT TO KEEP AT THIS WEEK

03:21.201 --> 03:25.143
AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK, EVERY

03:25.144 --> 03:28.892
WEEK, A NEW THING HAPPENS, AND

03:28.893 --> 03:32.211
IT WILL, ABOUT A YEAR FROM NOW,

03:32.222 --> 03:33.877
PEOPLE WILL KNOW THE ECONOMY IS

03:33.878 --> 03:34.422
STRONG.

03:34.433 --> 03:36.334
PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER SIX OR

03:36.369 --> 03:38.067
EIGHT MONTHS AGO WHERE THINGS

03:38.069 --> 03:39.849
WERE AT, AND NEXT SUMMER THEY

03:39.860 --> 03:41.458
WON’T, THEY WILL SEE THE THINGS

03:41.493 --> 03:43.334
YOU HAVE AND THE ECONOMY WILL BE

03:43.335 --> 03:44.997
A STRONG SUIT FOR US.

03:44.998 --> 03:46.287
LET’S FINALLY COMPARE IT TO THE

03:46.288 --> 03:46.947
REPUBLICANS.

03:46.948 --> 03:48.831
WE’RE INVESTING -- THERE ARE’S

03:48.842 --> 03:49.280
INVESTIGATING.

03:49.281 --> 03:51.343
ALL THEY SEEM TO DO IS WANT TO

03:51.354 --> 03:52.772
INVESTIGATE THIS, THAT AND THE

03:52.783 --> 03:54.170
OTHER THING.

03:54.204 --> 03:56.074
THAT DOESN’T HELP THE AMERICAN

03:56.085 --> 03:56.595
PEOPLE.

03:56.629 --> 03:58.866
THE CONTRAST OF YESTERDAY, A

03:58.877 --> 04:00.572
FORMER PRESIDENT BEING INDICTED

04:00.573 --> 04:02.553
FOR TRYING TO DENY AN ELECTION,

04:02.587 --> 04:03.986
AND THIS PRESIDENT TODAY TALKING

04:03.987 --> 04:05.512
ABOUT INVESTING IN AMERICA,

04:05.523 --> 04:07.058
THAT’S GOING TO SINK IN.

04:07.069 --> 04:08.482
IT’S OUR JOB TO MAKE SURE IT

04:08.516 --> 04:10.078
SINKS IN.

04:10.089 --> 04:12.694
>> I MEAN, THEIR INVESTIGATIONS

04:12.705 --> 04:14.188
ARE SO STUPID.

04:14.222 --> 04:15.682
I AM EMBARRASSED FOR THEM.

04:15.683 --> 04:18.976
THEY ARE TALKING TO ARMS DEALERS

04:18.987 --> 04:21.371
AND PEOPLE THAT ILLEGALLY --

04:21.373 --> 04:24.059
THAT ILLEGALLY SMUGGLE OIL TO

04:24.060 --> 04:25.483
THE COMMUNIST CHINESE PARTY.

04:25.494 --> 04:27.513
THEY TALK ABOUT TAPES IN THE

04:27.524 --> 04:29.322
PHISH AND GRASSLEY GIVES UP THE

04:29.324 --> 04:31.104
GAME AND THEY SAY, WE DON’T CARE

04:31.105 --> 04:32.570
IF HE’S GUILTY OR NOT.

04:32.571 --> 04:35.718
I HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT

04:35.729 --> 04:39.894
TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS, AND --

04:39.896 --> 04:41.972
>> JUST -- THESE

04:42.007 --> 04:43.965
INVESTIGATIONS -- THESE

04:43.976 --> 04:45.820
INVESTIGATIONS DON’T MATTER TO

04:45.831 --> 04:48.859
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND IT’S

04:48.870 --> 04:50.829
THE RIGHT WING TALKING TO EACH

04:50.831 --> 04:51.420
OTHER.

04:51.431 --> 04:53.336
LET THEM KEEP TALKING TO EACH

04:53.338 --> 04:53.744
OTHER.

04:53.779 --> 04:54.998
WE’RE TALKING TO THE AMERICAN

04:55.009 --> 04:55.510
PEOPLE.

04:55.521 --> 04:57.046
>> THEY ARE TALKING TO

04:57.048 --> 04:57.664
THEMSELVES.

04:57.699 --> 05:00.694
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AN ISSUE

05:00.695 --> 05:03.592
PERSONAL TO ME, AND AS YOU KNOW

05:03.603 --> 05:05.295
WE WORKED TOGETHER IN CONGRESS

05:05.329 --> 05:08.063
AND I REPRESENTED A DISTRICT

05:08.074 --> 05:10.293
THAT HAD FIVE MILITARY BASES.

05:10.328 --> 05:13.110
MY JOB WAS TO GO TO WASHINGTON

05:13.121 --> 05:14.708
TO DO SEVERAL THINGS, BUT ONE

05:14.719 --> 05:17.980
WAS OBSESS OVER MILITARY

05:18.014 --> 05:18.593
READINESS.

05:18.594 --> 05:21.047
EVERY TIME I WOULD GO TO THE

05:21.049 --> 05:23.100
PENTAGON, OR EVERY TIME A

05:23.101 --> 05:25.218
GENERAL OR ADMIRAL OR COLONEL

05:25.229 --> 05:27.795
WOULD COME AND TALK TO ME IN MY

05:27.796 --> 05:29.413
OFFICE AND ARMED SERVICES, THEY

05:29.424 --> 05:32.444
WOULD SAY HAVE YOUR FIGHTS ABOUT

05:32.445 --> 05:34.565
SOCIAL POLICIES OUTSIDE OF THIS

05:34.567 --> 05:37.174
HEARING ROOM, AND LET’S FOCUS ON

05:37.185 --> 05:38.818
THE READINESS OF THE UNITED

05:38.852 --> 05:40.055
STATES ARMED FORCES.

05:40.066 --> 05:42.003
WE HAVE ONE SENATOR, A

05:42.038 --> 05:44.730
REPUBLICAN FROM ALABAMA, WHO

05:44.731 --> 05:48.783
RIGHT NOW IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

05:48.794 --> 05:50.853
MARINE CORPS NOT HAVING A

05:50.887 --> 05:53.680
COMMANDANT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

05:53.691 --> 05:55.706
YEARS, AND THE ARMY NOT HAVING

05:55.717 --> 05:58.745
SOMEBODY THAT HAS BEEN SUPPORTED

05:58.746 --> 06:01.425
BY THE SENATE LEADING THEM, AND

06:01.427 --> 06:03.377
ALL THE MILITARY IS SAYING THIS

06:03.388 --> 06:06.198
IS A REAL READINESS PROBLEM, AND

06:06.232 --> 06:09.378
EVEN THE PEOPLE IN ALABAMA ARE

06:09.389 --> 06:10.788
AGAINST WHAT TUBERVILLE IS

06:10.799 --> 06:11.307
DOING.

06:11.318 --> 06:14.174
HOW DO WE BREAK THE IMPASSE?

06:14.185 --> 06:15.809
WHY WON’T REPUBLICANS STAND UP

06:15.810 --> 06:17.833
AND SPEAK OUT FOR THE GOOD OF

06:17.844 --> 06:19.874
THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT RISK

06:19.908 --> 06:21.740
THEIR LIVES IN UNIFORM?

06:21.741 --> 06:23.483
>> YOU KNOW, REPUBLICANS ALWAYS

06:23.484 --> 06:25.099
PRIDED THEMSELVES ON BEING THE

06:25.110 --> 06:27.764
NATIONAL SECURITY PARTY, AND YET

06:27.765 --> 06:30.454
THAT’S RIGHT, THEY ARE LETTING

06:30.488 --> 06:32.125
TUBERVILLE DO THIS.

06:32.127 --> 06:34.551
IF THEIR WHOLE CAUCUS, THE REST

06:34.552 --> 06:37.236
OF THEM SAID STOP, WE DEMAND YOU

06:37.247 --> 06:39.169
STOP, HE WOULD HAVE TO STOP.

06:39.170 --> 06:40.921
McCONNELL AND THUNE HAVE SAID

06:40.922 --> 06:42.355
WHAT HE’S DOING IS WRONG, BUT

06:42.366 --> 06:43.381
THAT’S IT.

06:43.392 --> 06:46.130
LET ME TELL YOU, THE POWER OF A

06:46.164 --> 06:47.544
LEADER IS ENORMOUS.

06:47.555 --> 06:49.483
IF ONE OF MY DEMOCRATS WERE

06:49.517 --> 06:52.106
DOING THIS, I WOULD CALL THEM

06:52.107 --> 06:53.781
INTO THE OFFICE AND SAY YOU ARE

06:53.782 --> 06:55.493
GOING TO PAY A PRICE, AND THERE

06:55.504 --> 06:59.877
ARE A LOT OF WAYS A LEADER CAN

06:59.888 --> 07:02.082
MAKE THEM PAY THE PRICE.

07:02.116 --> 07:03.212
McCONNELL, IT’S ON HIS

07:03.223 --> 07:03.633
SHOULDERS.

07:03.667 --> 07:05.709
HE OUGHT TO DO IT.

07:05.710 --> 07:07.470
PRESSURE IS MOUNTING, AS YOU

07:07.481 --> 07:09.055
SAID, EVEN IN ALABAMA TUBERVILLE

07:09.089 --> 07:11.466
IS LEARNING THAT THE PEOPLE IN

07:11.477 --> 07:13.228
HIS OWN MILITARY BASES ARE BEING

07:13.262 --> 07:14.943
UPSET ABOUT WHAT HE’S DOING, AND

07:14.954 --> 07:17.121
I THINK HE’S GOING TO HAVE TO

07:17.132 --> 07:18.729
BACK OFF, BUT ONLY BECAUSE

07:18.740 --> 07:19.703
REPUBLICANS WILL PUT PRESSURE ON

07:19.714 --> 07:20.623
HIM.

07:20.634 --> 07:24.656
TO DO IT, TO PREVENT A WOMAN WHO

07:24.657 --> 07:27.124
IS -- WHO HAS BEEN ENLISTING IN

07:27.135 --> 07:31.373
OUR ARMED SERVICES AND SERVING

07:31.384 --> 07:33.846
IN A STATE WHERE SHE CAN’T GET

07:33.857 --> 07:37.212
HER OWN HEALTH CARE OR A RIGHT

07:37.246 --> 07:39.774
CAN’T DO THIS AND HOLD IT ALL UP

07:39.775 --> 07:41.292
FOR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND THE

07:41.303 --> 07:44.107
REPUBLICAN PARTY KNOWS IT’S A

07:44.108 --> 07:47.389
LOSER FOR THEM, AND IT’S A LOSER

07:47.400 --> 07:48.433
SUBSTANTIVELY AND POLITICALLY.

07:48.468 --> 07:50.739
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STAND

07:50.740 --> 07:51.375
UP TO THESE FAR RIGHT PEOPLE, OR
