BLISTERING CRITICISM OF

8
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,600
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP A SHOW OF

9
00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:21,466
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN

10
00:00:16,966 --> 00:00:23,166
SUPPORT FOR JOE BIDEN AND

11
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,633
EMPHASIS ON THE EMERGENCE OF

12
00:00:21,466 --> 00:00:24,933
WOMEN LEADERS LIKE KAMALA

13
00:00:23,166 --> 00:00:26,300
HARRIS.

14
00:00:23,633 --> 00:00:28,366
THE CONVENTION COMES AS

15
00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:30,100
LAWMAKERS PREPARE TO VOTE ON

20
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:39,633
CONGRESSWOMAN JAN SCHAKOWSKY A

21
00:00:36,066 --> 00:00:41,066
DEMOCRAT WHO REPRESENTS THE 9TH

22
00:00:38,433 --> 00:00:43,400
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT WHICH

23
00:00:39,633 --> 00:00:45,066
INCLUDES PARTS OF CHICAGO'S

24
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:45,666
NORTH SIDE AND NORTHERN SUBURBS.

25
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,000
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

26
00:00:45,066 --> 00:00:48,500
>> MY PLEASURE.

27
00:00:45,666 --> 00:00:49,733
>> I WANT TO START WITH THE

28
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,300
LATEST NEWS WE'RE HEARING

29
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:54,800
REPORTS THAT REPUBLICAN LEADERS

30
00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:56,866
WILL WHIP THEIR CAUCUS AGAINST

31
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:57,200
THIS BILL TO PROVIDE $25 BILLION

32
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,833
TO THE UNITED STATES POSTAL

33
00:00:56,866 --> 00:00:59,400
SERVICE.

34
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,433
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A PARTY

35
00:00:58,833 --> 00:01:03,133
LINE VOTE.

36
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,566
DOES IT STAND A CHANCE OF BEING

37
00:01:01,433 --> 00:01:05,300
CALLED IN THE SENATE?

38
00:01:03,133 --> 00:01:06,433
>> WE'LL SEE IF IT'S GOING TO

39
00:01:04,566 --> 00:01:09,500
GET CALLED.

40
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:11,233
THE POINT IS THE REPUBLICANS

41
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:14,166
HAVE BEEN PART OF THE ONGOING

42
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:14,933
SABOTAGE OF THE ELECTION REALLY

43
00:01:11,233 --> 00:01:17,666
AND THE POSTAL SERVICE IS PART

44
00:01:14,166 --> 00:01:18,833
OF THAT.

45
00:01:14,933 --> 00:01:20,966
AND THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN

46
00:01:17,666 --> 00:01:22,833
RESTORING THE KIND OF PROCEDURES

47
00:01:18,833 --> 00:01:25,200
THAT WERE THERE AT THE POSTAL

48
00:01:20,966 --> 00:01:26,833
SERVICE WHICH IS NOT JUST ONLY

49
00:01:22,833 --> 00:01:28,333
HURTING OUR ELECTIONS, BUT WE'RE

50
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,266
GETTING CALLS FROM PEOPLE WHO

51
00:01:26,833 --> 00:01:32,066
ARE NOT GETTING THEIR

52
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:33,766
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS WHO ARE

53
00:01:30,266 --> 00:01:35,766
GETTING LATE PAYMENTS BECAUSE

54
00:01:32,066 --> 00:01:37,466
THEIR BILLS HAVE NOT ARRIVED.

55
00:01:33,766 --> 00:01:38,733
IT IS A DISASTER.

56
00:01:35,766 --> 00:01:41,800
THE CALLS ARE RINGING OFF THE

57
00:01:37,466 --> 00:01:44,700
HOOK RIGHT NOW.

58
00:01:38,733 --> 00:01:46,100
>> AND AMID THIS POSTMASTER

59
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:48,533
GENERAL LOUIS DeJOY ANNOUNCED

60
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:51,633
HALTING FURTHER CUTS AND GETTING

61
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:52,000
RID OF SORTING MACHINES AND

62
00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:53,633
MAILBOXES DOES THAT AASWAGE YOUR

63
00:01:51,633 --> 00:01:54,233
CONCERNS?

64
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,366
>> NO, BECAUSE HE IS NOT TELLING

65
00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:58,066
THE TRUTH.

66
00:01:54,233 --> 00:02:00,200
WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THE POSTAL

67
00:01:56,366 --> 00:02:03,533
WORKERS ARE SAYING THAT THE

68
00:01:58,066 --> 00:02:05,700
TAKING AWAY THE SORTING MACHINES

69
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,533
IS STILL HAPPENING THAT THE

70
00:02:03,533 --> 00:02:08,600
MAILBOXES ARE STILL

71
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:10,966
DISAPPEARING.

72
00:02:06,533 --> 00:02:12,900
NONE OF IT HAS STOPPED.

73
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:15,333
EVEN IF HE DID SUSPEND WHAT HE

74
00:02:10,966 --> 00:02:17,266
HAD DONE WHAT WE ARE WANTING IS

75
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:19,966
A COMPLETE REVERSAL OF WHAT HE

76
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:20,366
HAS DONE AND GO BACK TO THE

77
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:23,066
RULES OF THE BEGINNING OF

78
00:02:19,966 --> 00:02:25,500
JANUARY.

79
00:02:20,366 --> 00:02:28,633
JANUARY FIRST, 2020, AND RESTORE

80
00:02:23,066 --> 00:02:29,866
THE POST OFFICE TO THAT PLACE.

81
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:32,800
BUT HE ADMITTED THAT AS DeJOY

82
00:02:28,633 --> 00:02:35,166
ADMITTED TO NANCY PELOSI TODAY

83
00:02:29,866 --> 00:02:37,000
THAT HE HAS NO INTENTION OF

84
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,266
ACTUALLY RESTORING THINGS THAT

85
00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:41,400
WERE UNDONE.

86
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,933
>> BEYOND PASSING THE BILL WHAT

87
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:44,200
CAN LAWMAKERS DO TO INSURE A

88
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,700
SAFE MAIL-IN ELECTION?

89
00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:47,833
>> THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER THAT

90
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,600
IS WHY WE'RE GOING BACK TO

91
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:52,033
CONGRESS ON SATURDAY.

92
00:02:47,833 --> 00:02:52,366
THAT IS WHY THERE IS A HEARING

93
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,733
TOMORROW WITH DeJOY IN THE

94
00:02:52,033 --> 00:02:56,033
SENATE.

95
00:02:52,366 --> 00:02:56,833
THERE'S GOING TO BE A HEARING

96
00:02:53,733 --> 00:02:59,966
THAT HE SAYS HE IS APPEARING AT

97
00:02:56,033 --> 00:03:02,833
ON MONDAY.

98
00:02:56,833 --> 00:03:07,066
I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE

99
00:02:59,966 --> 00:03:10,566
REALLY DISGUSTED BY THE KIND OF

100
00:03:02,833 --> 00:03:12,433
WORK THAT THEY ARE DOING THAT

101
00:03:07,066 --> 00:03:14,500
INTENTIONAL EFFORT TO TRY AND

102
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:15,333
DEMOLISH WHAT IS THE MOST

103
00:03:12,433 --> 00:03:17,666
IMPORTANT AND FAVORITE OF THE

104
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,533
AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT.

105
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:22,800
AND THAT IS THE POSTAL SERVICE.

106
00:03:17,666 --> 00:03:25,100
THE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

107
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:28,000
EVERYWHERE RELY ON NOT JUST FOR

108
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:29,066
THE ORDINARY MAIL BUT FOR THEIR

109
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,500
MEDICATION AND FOR THEIR CHECKS

110
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,733
AND BILLS.

111
00:03:29,066 --> 00:03:33,233
>> AND THERE WILL BE A LOT OF

112
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:34,733
EYES ON THAT HEARING.

113
00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:35,666
I WANT TO MOVE TO THE CONVENTION

114
00:03:33,233 --> 00:03:38,766
ONE OF THE SPEAKER WAS HOUSE

115
00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:39,766
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.

116
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:41,400
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SHE

117
00:03:38,766 --> 00:03:43,266
SAID.

118
00:03:39,766 --> 00:03:44,733
>> WHEN WOMEN SUCCEED AMERICA

119
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,400
SUCCEEDS AND SO WE ARE

120
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:48,933
UNLEASHING THE POWER OF WOMEN TO

121
00:03:44,733 --> 00:03:51,500
TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN OUR

122
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,933
NATIONAL LIFE BY CHAMPIONING A

123
00:03:48,933 --> 00:03:55,433
WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND

124
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:57,133
DEFENDING ROE V. WADE, SECURING

125
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:59,333
SAFE AND AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE.

126
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:59,633
PRESERVING SOCIAL SECURITY AND

127
00:03:57,133 --> 00:04:01,766
PASSING EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL

128
00:03:59,333 --> 00:04:03,533
WORK.

129
00:03:59,633 --> 00:04:03,833
WHO IS STANDING IN THE WAY?

130
00:04:01,766 --> 00:04:05,333
MITCH McCONNELL AND DONALD

131
00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:07,233
TRUMP.

132
00:04:03,833 --> 00:04:09,533
>> A LOT OF FOCUS ON WOMEN AND

133
00:04:05,333 --> 00:04:11,700
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP.

134
00:04:07,233 --> 00:04:13,700
IS THAT THE CORE CONSTITUENCY

135
00:04:09,533 --> 00:04:15,633
THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS TARGETING

136
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:17,933
SPECIFICALLY SUBURBAN WOMEN?

137
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:18,900
>> IT'S ABOUT TIME, ISN'T IT

138
00:04:15,633 --> 00:04:21,233
THAT WOMEN ARE AT THE TOP OF THE

139
00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:22,766
AGENDA.

140
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:24,600
CERTAINLY WOMEN OF COLOR HAVE

141
00:04:21,233 --> 00:04:28,233
ALWAYS BEEN RELIABLE WHEN IT

142
00:04:22,766 --> 00:04:30,000
COMES TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

143
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:33,033
BUT I AM CERTAIN THAT SUBURBAN

144
00:04:28,233 --> 00:04:35,500
WOMEN WHO THOUGHT DONALD TRUMP

145
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,133
MIGHT BE OK WILL UNDERSTAND THAT

146
00:04:33,033 --> 00:04:37,900
THEY MADE A SERIOUS, SERIOUS

147
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:40,333
MISTAKE.

148
00:04:36,133 --> 00:04:41,766
I REALLY LIKE WHAT KAMALA HARRIS

149
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:44,066
SAID WHEN SHE SAID I KNOW A

150
00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:46,233
PREDATOR WHEN I SEE ONE.

151
00:04:41,766 --> 00:04:48,466
AND I THINK A LOT OF WOMEN ARE

152
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:50,466
IN THE SAME BOAT THAT THEY CAN

153
00:04:46,233 --> 00:04:52,800
SEE A PREDATOR SOMEONE WHO IS

154
00:04:48,466 --> 00:04:55,200
NOT GOOD FOR THEM OR THEIR

155
00:04:50,466 --> 00:04:57,133
CHILDREN AND OR FAMILIES.

156
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,466
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO

157
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:02,700
SEE A REAL CHANGE IN SUBURBAN

158
00:04:57,133 --> 00:05:04,066
WOMEN.

159
00:04:57,466 --> 00:05:05,600
WE LOST WHITE WOMEN LAST TIME

160
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,633
HILLARY CLINTON DID AND I DON'T

161
00:05:04,066 --> 00:05:08,366
THINK THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN

162
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,633
AGAIN.

163
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:12,266
>> AS THIS HAPPENED, THE

164
00:05:08,366 --> 00:05:12,600
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS

165
00:05:09,633 --> 00:05:13,866
FACING ALLEGATIONS AGAINST

166
00:05:12,266 --> 00:05:15,933
SPEAK --

167
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,766
CRIMINAL INFORMATION THAT

168
00:05:13,866 --> 00:05:17,733
IMPLICATES THE LEADER OF YOUR

169
00:05:15,933 --> 00:05:19,533
PARTY, MICHAEL MADIGAN SPEAKER

170
00:05:16,766 --> 00:05:20,733
OF THE HOUSE.

171
00:05:17,733 --> 00:05:22,400
SHOULD HE STEP DOWN?

172
00:05:19,533 --> 00:05:23,766
>> WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO

173
00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:24,533
COMMENT ON THAT BEING IN THE

174
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,200
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN

175
00:05:23,766 --> 00:05:29,733
THE STATE.

176
00:05:24,533 --> 00:05:30,133
BUT WHAT I DO WANT TO SAY IT

177
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,400
SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH THE

178
00:05:29,733 --> 00:05:33,266
CONVENTION.

179
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:35,933
AND ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE

180
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,500
TO DO IN ILLINOIS BECAUSE WE

181
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:38,500
WANT TO EXPAND OUR MAJORITY IN

182
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:42,333
THE ILLINOIS HOUSE OF

183
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:43,166
REPRESENTATIVES WE CERTAINLY

184
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:45,600
HAVE TO ELECT DICK DURBIN WHO

185
00:05:42,333 --> 00:05:47,100
BRINGS EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

186
00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:49,466
WE HAVE A LOT OF RACES WE ARE

187
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,200
CONCERNED ABOUT AND I DON'T KNOW

188
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:51,900
WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE OUTCOME

189
00:05:49,466 --> 00:05:53,600
WITH MICHAEL MADIGAN.

190
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,900
BUT IT BETTER NOT INTERFERE

191
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:55,366
