cities burning, and is that a opportunity for you to knock on the door and talk about gun control, or in terms of medical research, is this a chance to say, great, let s focus and spend there because if you look at his policies, that s not what he wants to do. is there a moment for you to capitalize on? potentially, that depends on the sincerity of his outreach or the moment when he comes to a final realization that actually we probably can stop a lot of stuff in the senate if he doesn t work with us, and he s been rolling us on this swamp cabinet so far because of the 51-vote rule, and it may not have sunk in that they need 60 on most legislative things in the senate. we will see. there are things like paid family leave and getting red of the hedge fund tax loophole and doing an infrastructure bill
swamp. instead a swamp cabinet. very powerful billionaires. they re showing up in rallies and saying please stop this destructive force known as team trump. let me ask you about the one big nomination looming in washington, neil gorsuch, that s donald trump s pick to be supreme court justice. there are several of your democratic colleagues i should say who ve indicated they do not want democrats in the senate to try to filibuster. top try to force 60 votes nor confirmation. the idea they re saying is he should just get gorsuch should just get an up/down vote. if he gets a majority, he s on the supreme court. if he doesn t, he s not on the supreme court. what do you think of that? should he get an up/down vote,
pursue them even as these people are in office. over and over again they have bowed down to the special interests and have these terrible conflicts of interest and it s easy to forsee that and any swamp cabinet ever. we only know what you show so when you come one the goods on people that embolden your case. how much are the democrats going to play to especially after what we lived through with the republicans that did exactly that by decree and the democrats said it was so wrong for so long. what do you think the future holds. let s look at the nominee for the epa. here s a guy that ran a dark money operation and won t disclose anything in the dark money operation and millions of
are headed. let s talk you rejected a do you see five more, how much do you see that you will vote to reject. today i have come out against eight in total. they share characters, first many of them have huge conflicts of interest. we call swamp cabinet of billionaires and bankers. they have not extricated themselves from their business. they exxonmobil for one year what about other years. many of them have view tom price, he spent whole career trying dismantle medicare. i have never seen a cabinet like
statement and seeking spiritual guidance. that is a good thing. i must say, however, though, i hope he ll bring much more of that concern as he nominates people for his administration because what we have seen as a man who campaigned, he campaigned against wit wall street, he campaigned for worker, and he campaigned for draining the swamp, but we re getting the swamp cabinet of big oil, big banks, and billionaires who are very poor fit for running the departments that he s assigned them to. senator merkley sh, apprecia your time. you re welcome. next, president trump says one man has proof of massive voter fraud. who is he? and what is his evidence? plus why were the president and british prime minister holding hands at the white house today? and our special investigation series on president trump s border wall. tonight inside the vast network of tunnels under the u.s./mexican border.
