Senator what's your response to the 0:10 latest strikes in the Golden 0:13 Heights well look first we know that 0:16 Iran through its surrogates Hamas 0:18 hasbalah the hoodis is really the real 0:20 evil in this area um and Israel has 0:25 every right to defend itself against 0:27 Hezbollah like they do against Hamas it 0:30 sort of it shows you how bad Iran and 0:32 its surrogates are these were Arab kids 0:34 they shot at they don't care they sent 0:36 missiles at and they don't even care uh 0:38 who that is um but having said that I 0:42 don't think uh anyone wants a wider War 0:44 so I hope there moves to 0:47 deescalate sticking with the Middle East 0:49 Senator Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 0:52 Netanyahu just in Washington uh you were 0:55 part of the formal bipartisan invitation 0:57 to have him come to Washington yet there 0:59 was video of you not shaking his hand 1:01 when he was on the floor on Capitol Hill 1:05 why not why did you not shake his hand 1:08 well look you know I went to this speech 1:11 um because the relationship between 1:13 Israel and uh America is 1:17 Ironclad and I wanted to show that but 1:20 at the same time as everyone knows I 1:22 have serious disagreements with the way 1:25 Benjamin Netanyahu has conducted these 1:27 policies 1:30 your colleague and friend former speaker 1:32 Nancy Pelosi tweeted this this week she 1:34 said Benjamin netanyahu's presentation 1:37 in the house chamber was by far the 1:38 worst presentation of any foreign 1:40 dignitary invited and honored with that 1:42 privilege in American history do you 1:45 agree with her assessment and do you 1:47 have any regrets at all about the 1:50 invitation look no as I've said I wanted 1:53 to show our Ironclad commitment to 1:55 Israel that transcends any one prime 1:57 minister or any one president uh no 2:00 matter how much you might disagree with 2:02 that prime 2:03 minister um Senator on July 13th you 2:07 went to Delaware to meet with President 2:10 Biden it was a private discussion and I 2:12 know you like to keep your discussions 2:14 with the president private but that for 2:16 history was a very momentous meeting in 2:19 the sense of you were the Senate 2:20 Democratic leader the majority leader 2:22 meeting with the president to discuss 2:24 the presidential race for history for 2:26 the record did you in any way suggest to 2:30 the president that he should leave the 2:31 presidential race on July 2:34 13th well first let's look at president 2:37 uh Biden's record he's had one of the 2:39 most amazing presidencies we've had in 2:41 decades passing so many good things the 2:44 infrastructure Bill the IRA Bill getting 2:47 the price of prescription drugs down for 2:49 the first time uh going against uh the 2:51 NRA successfully helping our veterans 2:54 with burn pits so he's had an amazingly 2:56 successful record uh and he's always 3:00 done what's right for America and I 3:03 respect him I respect his patriotism I 3:06 respect uh the amazing things he's done 3:08 we work together on many of them but 3:11 just for history though did you what was 3:13 your role what was your intention with 3:15 that meeting with him on July 13th 3:17 because some Biden allies feel heard 3:19 about this entire process I just sat 3:21 down the other day with Senator Chris 3:23 crun your colleague and he said a lot of 3:25 people feel hurt angry about how this 3:27 all played out and you did go to see him 3:29 and conveyed the views of your 3:30 colleagues based on our reporting so 3:33 what exactly happened there what was 3:34 your role if any in suggesting he he get 3:37 out or stay as I 3:38 said yeah I'm not going to get into the 3:41 specifics but he can the pr President 3:44 Biden will walk away from the presidency 3:46 with his head held high because of all 3:48 the great things he's done and uh 3:51 because he put America first he always 3:55 has vice president Harris now the 3:57 presumptive nominee senator are you 4:00 encouraging Senate Democrats including 4:02 those in Battleground states to invite 4:05 her to campaign with them to have her in 4:07 their 4:09 advertisements yeah the Biden Harris 4:12 record is just incredible as I mentioned 4:15 all the specific things uh that has been 4:18 that they have passed together working 4:20 with us so it's an incredible record and 4:23 our Senators are already talking about 4:24 it they're you know cutting ribbons at 4:26 new Bridges they're bringing rural 4:28 Broadband uh they're bringing Broadband 4:30 to rural areas um they're opening up new 4:33 factories from Chip FBS so it's a great 4:36 great record and it's helping our Senate 4:38 candidates run on it and let me just say 4:40 one thing just compare that to the 4:43 Republican record to the Trump uh Vance 4:46 ticket it's extreme this project 2025 4:49 shows it would take the rights away from 4:51 women it would take away rights of um uh 4:55 working people and help only the very 4:57 wealthy it would even be a threat to our 4:59 democracy and one more point about this 5:02 and that is uh the addition of JD Vance 5:05 uh to this ticket it's it's incredibly 5:09 uh bad choice um I think uh Donald Trump 5:13 I know him and he's probably sitting and 5:16 watching the TV and every day Vance it 5:19 comes out Vance has done something more 5:21 extreme more weird more erratic Vance 5:24 seems to be more erratic and more 5:25 extreme than president Trump and I'll 5:27 bet president Trump is sitting there 5:29 scratching his head and wondering why 5:31 did I pick this guy the choice may be 5:33 one of the best things he ever did for 5:35 Democrats do now the president has about 5:38 10 days 10 days before uh the Ohio um 5:42 ballot is locked in and he has a choice 5:45 does he keep Vance on the ticket uh 5:48 where uh he's he probably he's he 5:50 already is a whole lot of baggage he's 5:52 probably going to be more baggage over 5:54 the weeks because we'll hear more things 5:56 about him or does he pick someone new 5:58 it's his choice so Democrats focusing on 6:00 Senator Vance your colleague in the 6:02 chamber but Republicans seem to be 6:04 focusing a lot on Border policy and vice 6:07 president Harris what's your suggestion 6:09 about how she should handle that 6:11 Republicans are saying she has fumbled 6:14 the ball uh on immigration on Border 6:17 policy what's the answer for how to 6:19 define her on herself on that issue it's 6:21 going to be brought up again and again 6:23 on 6:25 campaign the answer is very simple and 6:28 that is that Democrats along with the 6:30 Biden Harris Administration put together 6:33 the toughest border policy that would 6:34 have stopped the flow from the border uh 6:37 that we've seen in a very long time in 6:39 fact initially was supported by 6:41 Republicans so many of the leading 6:43 Republicans said this is tough we're all 6:45 for it and then all of a sudden 6:47 president Trump says it he said it 6:49 explicitly he said I don't want them to 6:51 solve the problem I want chaos at the 6:53 border so I can uh run on it with the 6:56 election we're happy to bring that up 6:59 and in case After Case when we bring 7:00 that up the voters side with us not with 7:03 their policies we were willing to fix 7:05 the Border Trump and his Republican 7:07 minion said don't fix it we want chaos 7:10 for political purposes who do you think 7:12 is going to win the argument has vice 7:14 president Harris reached out to about 7:15 her vice presidential selection and do 7:17 you have a leading Contender or two that 7:20 you believe would be helpful and Senator 7:22 Kelly your colleague is one of the 7:23 contenders we've reported are you 7:25 confident that if he goes on the ticket 7:27 you can hold on to that seat in a few 7:28 years in a special 7:31 well let me say this I have complete 7:33 confidence that vice president Harris 7:35 will choose a top-notch ticket uh and a 7:38 top-notch vice presidential candidate we 7:41 have a lot of we have a very strong 7:43 bench there are a lot of good choices I 7:45 have confidence in her 7:47 choice are you worried about the Senate 7:49 majority it's a narrow majority for you 7:51 right now what's your candid assessment 7:53 about the Senate majority and Democratic 7:55 chances my candidat assessment is we're 7:58 going to not only win the Senate but we 8:00 have a good chance to pick up a seat or 8:02 two our candidates our Senators are 8:04 running on their records of 8:05 accomplishment and that's why they're 8:07 running ahead of even the National 8:09 Ticket um because when they show all the 8:13 good stuff we're bringing to their 8:15 states through the infrastructure Bill 8:18 through the chips and science bill with 8:20 so many good new manufacturing jobs uh 8:22 through bringing Broadband to rural 8:24 areas for the first time um where rural 8:27 areas desperately need it you know 8:28 Franklin roel said in the 1930s 8:30 electricity was a necessity and brought 8:32 it to them we're doing the same thing 8:34 with broadbands which in the 21st 8:36 century is a necessity speaking about 8:38 technology we have a great record to run 8:40 on and it's going to yeah it's going to 8:42 it's going to keep us it's going to keep 8:44 us uh uh in in the 8:47 majority staying with technology for a 8:49 second you've raised National Security 8:52 concerns about Tik Tock do you support 8:54 the Harris campaign using Tik Tock to 8:56 promote its cand her 8:58 candidacy look I'm not going to get into 9:00 the details of how to run the campaign 9:02 I'm talking about the message that they 9:04 have and they should bring It Forward in 9:06 whatever way they can uh we did vote uh 9:09 to eliminate Tik Tock and uh in a period 9:12 of less than a year uh that legislation 9:14 will go into effect and finally here 9:18 Senator President Biden this week is 9:20 going to make a push on the Supreme 9:22 Court to reform the Supreme Court what's 9:24 really possible there what's realistic 9:27 give us your real view about 9:29 whether this can happen this year on a 9:31 in a bipartisan 9:33 way well first let's start off the 9:35 Supreme Court is a morass first it's an 9:38 ethical morass the idea that wealthy 9:41 individuals many of them right-wing can 9:43 both have pay for cases before the court 9:46 and at the same time give justices gifts 9:49 or trips is outrageous and frankly chief 9:53 justice Roberts isn't doing enough to 9:54 curb it but it's a morass in even a 9:56 worse way this is a magga right-wing 9:58 Court it's already taken the right away 10:01 the right to choose it could very well 10:03 go further on that I fear it will uh 10:06 it's siding with the wealthiest of 10:08 individuals and the powerful interests 10:10 over the average um uh working family uh 10:14 and it even th threatens democracy when 10:16 it says that a president can uh get 10:19 immunity even for certain um acts in the 10:23 presidency so this court is is just a 10:26 morass both ethically and substantively 10:29 and I think we will look at uh all the 10:31 various proposals um and see what should 10:34 be done and just quickly here Senator a 10:37 lots on the horizon for you you have a 10:39 possible shutdown this fall the debt 10:42 limit later this year are you engaged or 10:45 prepared to engage with speaker Johnson 10:47 in the house to address these serious 10:50 issues well we are prepared to engage 10:53 you have to do these things in a 10:54 bipartisan way and we keep reminding uh 10:57 speaker Johnson that the right-wing a 10:59 group in his in in his party which 11:02 wanted default which wants to shut down 11:04 the government is so ideologically 11:06 fixated on these things that they would 11:08 hurt tens of millions of American 11:11 families and uh sometimes speaker 11:13 Johnson sides with them sometimes he 11:15 doesn't he sides with them too much a 11:17 lot on your plate thank you Senator 11:19 Schumer we appreciate your time and Face 11:21 the Nation we'll be back in one minute 11:23 stay with us
