Chris Hayes: ‘Now Is the Time to Break Glass, It’s Not the Time for Politics as Usual’

HAYES But again the ░░░░░░░░ has shifted too much ░░░░░░░░ November of 2024 And ░░░░░░░░ do fear Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ of caught fighting the ░░░░░░░░ war Clip starts HAYES ░░░░░░░░ of those things you ░░░░░░░░ which all sound like ░░░░░░░░ politics to me are ░░░░░░░░ kinds of things that ░░░░░░░░ d be doing if ░░░░░░░░ Romney were president that ░░░░░░░░ there s this weird ░░░░░░░░ right now which is ░░░░░░░░ they are acting in ░░░░░░░░ totally new way in ░░░░░░░░ they are ambitiously trying ░░░░░░░░ seize all power and ░░░░░░░░ a presidential dictatorship in ░░░░░░░░ United States of America ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic opposition is ░░░░░░░░ like Well if we ░░░░░░░░ get their approval rate ░░░░░░░░ a few points then ░░░░░░░░ Then what happens Schumer ░░░░░░░░ what happens is look ░░░░░░░░ we get it way ░░░░░░░░ He s going to ░░░░░░░░ much less We this ░░░░░░░░ in 2017 You say ░░░░░░░░ now it s a ░░░░░░░░ government Trump It s ░░░░░░░░ though My God Schumer ░░░░░░░░ it is different But ░░░░░░░░ care we beat him ░░░░░░░░ we beat him And ░░░░░░░░ what we did Guess ░░░░░░░░ we did Chris We ░░░░░░░░ back the House and ░░░░░░░░ in the Senate and ░░░░░░░░ got and then we ░░░░░░░░ allowed to do all ░░░░░░░░ good things Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ Again Senator Schumer understands ░░░░░░░░ strategy and he s ░░░░░░░░ about that history and ░░░░░░░░ s right that that ░░░░░░░░ of resistance did work ░░░░░░░░ years ago And in ░░░░░░░░ ways you know that ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration politically was ░░░░░░░░ failure I mean it ░░░░░░░░ a huge tax cut ░░░░░░░░ billionaires surprise surprise and ░░░░░░░░ But again just when ░░░░░░░░ are paying as close ░░░░░░░░ as we are here ░░░░░░░░ this program here at ░░░░░░░░ network and I think ░░░░░░░░ lot of you watching ░░░░░░░░ home it just does ░░░░░░░░ that now is the ░░░░░░░░ for to break glass ░░░░░░░░ It s not the ░░░░░░░░ for politics as usual ░░░░░░░░ mean first of all ░░░░░░░░ is already underwater for ░░░░░░░░ first time in his ░░░░░░░░ on the question of ░░░░░░░░ economy which is interesting ░░░░░░░░ I think welcome news ░░░░░░░░ for Democrats and those ░░░░░░░░ to what he s ░░░░░░░░ I mean the state ░░░░░░░░ the stock market amid ░░░░░░░░ s trade war is ░░░░░░░░ a pretty good job ░░░░░░░░ messaging pocketbook issues itself ░░░░░░░░ with the tariffs that ░░░░░░░░ coming April 2nd But ░░░░░░░░ importantly I would say ░░░░░░░░ don t have to ░░░░░░░░ I strongly believe this ░░░░░░░░ s all one thing ░░░░░░░░ s all one thing ░░░░░░░░ threat to democracy has ░░░░░░░░ so much more tangible ░░░░░░░░ it was when folks ░░░░░░░░ to the ballot four ░░░░░░░░ ago in part because ░░░░░░░░ entire mad king act ░░░░░░░░ wreaking havoc in every ░░░░░░░░ And with that in ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Leader ░░░░░░░░ s Democratic colleagues believe ░░░░░░░░ s time to basically ░░░░░░░░ back harder as Senator ░░░░░░░░ Murphy of Connecticut has ░░░░░░░░ out there saying Clip ░░░░░░░░ MURPHY This moment requires ░░░░░░░░ to break norms This ░░░░░░░░ requires us to take ░░░░░░░░ And I get it ░░░░░░░░ lot of my colleagues ░░░░░░░░ shutting down the government ░░░░░░░░ in a government shutdown ░░░░░░░░ s a risk that ░░░░░░░░ power to Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ Elon Musk But how ░░░░░░░░ earth are we going ░░░░░░░░ ask the American people ░░░░░░░░ take risks for us ░░░░░░░░ when there s a ░░░░░░░░ alarm constitutional fire and ░░░░░░░░ need them to be ░░░░░░░░ on the streets not ░░░░░░░░ hundreds not with thousands ░░░░░░░░ tens of thousands of ░░░░░░░░ but with hundreds of ░░░░░░░░ of people if we ░░░░░░░░ not willing to show ░░░░░░░░ and take risks ourselves ░░░░░░░░ ends HAYES He s ░░░░░░░░ Hundreds of thousands of ░░░░░░░░ That s what it ░░░░░░░░ going to take honestly ░░░░░░░░ think now is the ░░░░░░░░ to take political risks ░░░░░░░░ it s too late ░░░░░░░░ mean to only barely ░░░░░░░░ oversimplify the whole point ░░░░░░░░ America is that you ░░░░░░░░ have one guy in ░░░░░░░░ of everything without checks ░░░░░░░░ balances It is literally ░░░░░░░░ foundational insight upon which ░░░░░░░░ country was built No ░░░░░░░░ not ever There is ░░░░░░░░ possibly nothing that is ░░░░░░░░ fundamentally American.”
