Josh Holmes: Schumer’s Infrastructure Plan ‘As Bad As It Could Possibly Get’

More on this now ░░░░░░░░ the founding partner of ░░░░░░░░ LLC and former chief ░░░░░░░░ staff to Mitch McConnell ░░░░░░░░ chief strategy officer for ░░░░░░░░ Harry Reid Penny last ░░░░░░░░ there was a big ░░░░░░░░ in New York you ░░░░░░░░ I were stuck in ░░░░░░░░ hotel and ate three ░░░░░░░░ worth of meals together ░░░░░░░░ remember that fondly Let ░░░░░░░░ start with you I ░░░░░░░░ to play two sound ░░░░░░░░ What Peter Doocy just ░░░░░░░░ up was very interesting ░░░░░░░░ you had this today ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general of ░░░░░░░░ United States and then ░░░░░░░░ president Listen Open borders ░░░░░░░░ a radical irrational idea ░░░░░░░░ cannot be accepted American ░░░░░░░░ will not accept it ░░░░░░░░ cannot be the policy ░░░░░░░░ a great nation to ░░░░░░░░ and reward those who ░░░░░░░░ come into this country ░░░░░░░░ legal status Social Security ░░░░░░░░ food stamps work permits ░░░░░░░░ so forth Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ to be found They ░░░░░░░░ nowhere to be found ░░░░░░░░ terrible We re ready ░░░░░░░░ know the expression ready ░░░░░░░░ and able We re ░░░░░░░░ willing and able They ░░░░░░░░ nowhere to be found ░░░░░░░░ What do you think ░░░░░░░░ the strategy basically trying ░░░░░░░░ drive home a lot ░░░░░░░░ different messages on a ░░░░░░░░ like today This is ░░░░░░░░ of the reasons I ░░░░░░░░ Republicans have a strong ░░░░░░░░ to make to Hispanic ░░░░░░░░ this fall and going ░░░░░░░░ You ve got two ░░░░░░░░ issues here Democrats find ░░░░░░░░ blocked in to a ░░░░░░░░ where they can t ░░░░░░░░ anything positive on the ░░░░░░░░ of immigration President Trump ░░░░░░░░ an incredible outreach across ░░░░░░░░ I think and what ░░░░░░░░ of us thought was ░░░░░░░░ more than he ever ░░░░░░░░ when he promised 1 ░░░░░░░░ million DACA recipients a ░░░░░░░░ way to citizenship That ░░░░░░░░ far and above where ░░░░░░░░ Republicans have been over ░░░░░░░░ years In exchange he ░░░░░░░░ the wall some border ░░░░░░░░ and some reforms to ░░░░░░░░ based migration system Both ░░░░░░░░ those things are imminently ░░░░░░░░ Democrats because of where ░░░░░░░░ find themselves in things ░░░░░░░░ California they re in ░░░░░░░░ amnesty condition can t ░░░░░░░░ on it Most hispanics ░░░░░░░░ through that Dana How ░░░░░░░░ you respond to that ░░░░░░░░ seems to be pulling ░░░░░░░░ left and the need ░░░░░░░░ Democrats to try to ░░░░░░░░ and win back some ░░░░░░░░ the middle of the ░░░░░░░░ How do you think ░░░░░░░░ re doing If Texas ░░░░░░░░ any indication they have ░░░░░░░░ amounts and real momentum ░░░░░░░░ the Democratic Party You ░░░░░░░░ an overwhelming turnout in ░░░░░░░░ places in which Trump ░░░░░░░░ won You saw this ░░░░░░░░ energy You see that ░░░░░░░░ special elections throughout this ░░░░░░░░ year You also see ░░░░░░░░ in Pennsylvania Another tight ░░░░░░░░ with Trump having won ░░░░░░░░ district in Pennsylvania over ░░░░░░░░ points Now it is ░░░░░░░░ neck and neck race ░░░░░░░░ the Republican there So ░░░░░░░░ would say the enthusiasm ░░░░░░░░ definitely there You re ░░░░░░░░ to see them pull ░░░░░░░░ moderate Republicans especially in ░░░░░░░░ swing suburban districts I ░░░░░░░░ actually the momentum is ░░░░░░░░ the democratic side versus ░░░░░░░░ Dana Everybody is making ░░░░░░░░ arguments This really caught ░░░░░░░░ eye today Senator Schumer ░░░░░░░░ an update on their ░░░░░░░░ plan He said that ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans are realizing ░░░░░░░░ the president s plan ░░░░░░░░ a nonstarter and some ░░░░░░░░ them have voiced that ░░░░░░░░ hope this will make ░░░░░░░░ move in our direction ░░░░░░░░ need something big significant ░░░░░░░░ get done this year ░░░░░░░░ may move in our ░░░░░░░░ or propose a real ░░░░░░░░ with real dollars on ░░░░░░░░ own They re planning ░░░░░░░░ basically roll back repeal ░░░░░░░░ replace the president s ░░░░░░░░ plan To me I ░░░░░░░░ if you re a ░░░░░░░░ going into a tough ░░░░░░░░ election this just gave ░░░░░░░░ a good thing to ░░░░░░░░ about No kidding I ░░░░░░░░ senator Schumer and Senate ░░░░░░░░ had the ability to ░░░░░░░░ over the Senate and ░░░░░░░░ the agenda we all ░░░░░░░░ to be investing in ░░░░░░░░ This is as bad ░░░░░░░░ it could get There ░░░░░░░░ over 4 million workers ░░░░░░░░ received 1 000 2 ░░░░░░░░ 2500 bonuses What do ░░░░░░░░ think would happen if ░░░░░░░░ were to reverse those ░░░░░░░░ cuts Obviously that money ░░░░░░░░ out of the pockets ░░░░░░░░ hard working men and ░░░░░░░░ across the country Jobs ░░░░░░░░ a lot of places ░░░░░░░░ not available Just observing ░░░░░░░░ s happened over the ░░░░░░░░ eight weeks would make ░░░░░░░░ plan an absolute nonstarter ░░░░░░░░ But penny because you ░░░░░░░░ the messaging and study ░░░░░░░░ things are Democrats hearing ░░░░░░░░ from voters that they ░░░░░░░░ t think the economy ░░░░░░░░ going well or they ░░░░░░░░ t think the tax ░░░░░░░░ did enough to help ░░░░░░░░ As Josh knows while ░░░░░░░░ are in that season ░░░░░░░░ legislation is being introduced ░░░░░░░░ the message of it ░░░░░░░░ necessarily the possibility of ░░░░░░░░ actually getting signed into ░░░░░░░░ So this is one ░░░░░░░░ those classic bills that ░░░░░░░░ reach to a lot ░░░░░░░░ Democrat constituencies It is ░░░░░░░░ unions because it is ░░░░░░░░ workers that would have ░░░░░░░░ be able to fill ░░░░░░░░ bridges and many of ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure projects It is ░░░░░░░░ for those that are ░░░░░░░░ the 1 that feel ░░░░░░░░ corporations and others in ░░░░░░░░ wealthy 1 are too ░░░░░░░░ so we re going ░░░░░░░░ take back claw back ░░░░░░░░ of the money that ░░░░░░░░ given to them by ░░░░░░░░ Trump tax cuts These ░░░░░░░░ messaging bills It is ░░░░░░░░ to go absolutely nowhere ░░░░░░░░ sad part about it ░░░░░░░░ our infrastructure does need ░░░░░░░░ Dana I ll give ░░░░░░░░ the last word Josh ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure really stalled Seems ░░░░░░░░ something that Washington could ░░░░░░░░ able to agree on ░░░░░░░░ is Except the problem ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure from the federal ░░░░░░░░ is how do you ░░░░░░░░ for it and how ░░░░░░░░ you keep it paid ░░░░░░░░ We ve done the ░░░░░░░░ tax As emissions has ░░░░░░░░ gas consumptions go down ░░░░░░░░ s less money to ░░░░░░░░ on roads and bridges ░░░░░░░░ re already 20 trillion ░░░░░░░░ debt We can t ░░░░░░░░ have an open hole ░░░░░░░░ all of our revenue ░░░░░░░░ into So funding that ░░░░░░░░ the tricky part I ░░░░░░░░ there has to be ░░░░░░░░ solution to it Clearly ░░░░░░░░ s bipartisan consensus Dana ░░░░░░░░ Holmes and penny Lee ░░░░░░░░ you were here.
