RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "You did a walk on on 'The Apprentice.'"
SCHUMER: "Well, they asked me to do it. I really don’t know him that well. I learned far more about him in the campaign. I was troubled by a whole lot of things in the campaign. The only thing I can say to my colleagues is, you know, President Obama met with him and said the presidency is a sobering experience. So I hope that President Trump will rise to the occasion. And when he does, we will try to be supportive. But when he doesn’t, we will use everything we’ve got to oppose him."
