BY OTHERS, BUT AMONG THEM GORDON CHANG, PASTOR ROBERT JEFF
JEFFRIES.
JEFFRIES. GOOD NIGHT FROM NEW YORK.
TRISH: THE LIBERAL MEDIA TRYING
TO FIND SOME JUSTIFICATION FOR
CHUCK SCHUMER’S THREAT TO OUR
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHILE
SCHUMER HIMSELF, FINALLY, MAKES
A VERY WEAK ATTEMPT AT AN
APOLOGY.
APOLOGY. WHO IS THIS GUY?
I MEAN, HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE
MINORITY LEADER OF THE U.S.
SENATE.
SENATE. BUT I’M SETTING THE RECORD
STRAIGHT TONIGHT.
STRAIGHT TONIGHT. CHUCK SEEM SCHUMER IS NOTHING --
CHUCK SCHUMER IS NOTHING BUT A
POLITICAL ANIMAL WHO SYMBOLIZES
ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICAN
POLITICS.
POLITICS. I’M TRISH REGAN.
TRYING TO SHRUG OFF HIS
OUTRAGEOUS, DANGEROUS, HATEFUL
COMMENTSES THAT HE MADE ON THE
STEPS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
WE’RE GOING TO GET TO THOSE
COMMENTS IN JUST A SECOND, BUT
FIRST, I WANT YOU TO SEE HIS
LOUSY MEA CULPA ATTEMPT.
>> I’M FROM BROOKLYN.
WE SPEAK IN STRONG LANGUAGE.
I SHOULDN’T HAVE USED THE WORDS
I DID, BUT IN NO WAY WAS I
MAKING A THREAT.
I NEVER, NEVER WOULD DO SUCH A
THING.
THING. TRISH TRISH OH, YEAH?
BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU
DID.
DID. WATCH.
WATCH. >> I WANT TO TELL YOU, GORSUCH,
I WANT TO TELL YOU, KAVANAUGH,
YOU HAVE RELEASED THE WHIRLWIND!
AND YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
YOU WON’T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU IF
YOU GO FORWARD WITH THESE AWFUL
DECISIONS.
DECISIONS. TRISH: DID YOU HEAR THAT?
HE EVEN SMILED AS HE THREATENED
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
COULD WE GO BACK AND LOOK AT
THAT AGAIN?
THAT AGAIN? SEE HIS SMILE THERE HE KNEW
EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING.
MAYBE WE SHOULD PLAY THE TAPE,
LET’S PLAY THAT SOUND BITE AGAIN
FOR PEOPLE.
FOR PEOPLE. HERE WE GO.
>> I WANT TO TELL YOU, GORSUCH,
I WANT TO TELL YOU, KAVANAUGH,
YOU HAVE RELEASED THE WHIRL
WIND, AND YOU WILL PAY THE
PRICE!
PRICE! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
YOU WON’T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU IF
YOU GO FORWARD WITH THESE AWFUL
DECISIONS.
DECISIONS. TRISH: WHAT KIND OF SICK
THOUGHTS WERE GOING THROUGH HIS
HEADS TO INDUCE A SMILE AT A
TIME LIKE THAT?
WITH COMMENTS LIKE THAT?
AND NO EXCUSES FROM HIM LAST
NIGHT, NO APOLOGY FROM HIM LAST
NIGHT.
NIGHT. SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE
ROBERTS WAS FORCED, FOR THE SAKE
OF OUR COUNTRY, TO ISSUE A RARE
TAKEDOWN, WRITING AND I QUOTE:
THREATENING STATEMENTS OF THIS
SORT FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT ARE NOT ONLY
INAPPROPRIATE, THEY’RE
INAPPROPRIATE, THEY’RE DANGEROUS.
DANGEROUS. ALL MEMBERS OF THE COURT OR WILL
CONTINUE TO DO THEIR JOB WITHOUT
FEAR OR FAVOR FROM WHATEVER
QUARTER.
QUARTER. AND YET CHUCK SCHUMER’S TEAM,
THEY DOUBLED DOWN.
THE SENATOR’S SPOKESPERSON
FIRING BACK AT THE CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. THINK ABOUT THAT ONE FOR A
MINUTE.
MINUTE. CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
AMERICA. SCHUMER’S PEOPLE FIRE BACK
CLAIMING IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO
BE A DIRECT THREAT.
NO.
NO. QUOTE: SENATOR SCHUMER’S
COMMENTS WERE A REFERENCE TO THE
POLITICAL PRICE SENATE
REPUBLICANS WILL PAY FOR PUTTING
THESE JUSTICES ON THE COURT AND
A WARNING THAT THE JUSTICES WILL
UNLEASH A MAJOR GRASS ROOTS
MOVEMENT ON THE ISSUE OF
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AGAINST THIS
DECISION.
DECISION. TO BE CLEAR, SCHUMER WAS
REFERENCING THE JUSTICES, NOT
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
HE ACTUALLY USED THE NAMES OF
THE JUSTICES.
THE JUSTICES. THE SPOKESPERSON SHOULD HAVE
ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE TAPE.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT GETS WORSE, BECAUSE SCHUMER’S
TEAM PREDICTABLY BLAMED
PRESIDENT TRUMP WRITING, QUOTE:
FOR JUSTICE ROBERTS TO FOLLOW
THE RIGHT-WING’S DELIBERATE
MISINTERPRETATION OF WHAT
SENATOR SCHUMER SAID WHILE
REMAINING SILENT WHEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP ATTACKED JUSTICES SONIA
SOTOMAYOR AND RUTH BADER
GINSBURG LAST WEEK SHOWS JUSTICE
ROBERTS DOES NOT CALL BALLS AND
STRIKES.
STRIKES. OH, MY GOODNESS.
OKAY.
OKAY. LET’S BE VERY CLEAR HERE.
THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CHUCK SCHUMER THREATENING OUR
JUSTICES AND THE PRESIDENT
SAYING MAYBE SOME OF THE
JUSTICES SHOULD RECUSE
THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES. THERE IS NO COMPARISON HERE
WHATSOEVER.
WHATSOEVER. EACH THOUGH THE MEDIA -- EVEN
THOUGH THE MEDIA TRIED TO MAKE
BIASED -- >> ALSO WE SHOULD WONDER WHY THE
CHIEF JUSTICE HAS BEEN
RELATIVELY SILENT WHEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP ATTACKS JUDGES.
TRISH: TO BE CLEAR, AND THIS IS
WHY WE CALL THIS SEGMENT SETTING
THE RECORD STRAIGHT, TO BE
CLEAR, PRESIDENT TRUMP DIDN’T
START THIS.
START THIS. THIS ENTIRELY UN-AMERICAN,
PATHETIC ACT WAS STARTED BY A
SHODDY EXCUSE FOR A SENATOR.
BY THE NAME OF CHUCK SCHUMER.
SOMEONE WHO HAS A HISTORY OF
THIS KIND OF NONSENSE.
AND YET IN TYPICAL FASHION, THE
MEDIA ON THE LEFT, THEY STILL
BLAME PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE HE
DEFENDED ROBERTS, GORSUCH AND
ALMOST -- NOT TOTALLY, ALMOST -- ENTIRELY SILENT ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. TRISH: JUST COULDN’T RESIST THAT
LITTLE DIG, I GUESS.
YOU KNOW, THE MEDIA SAYS HE
NEVER SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT
ABOUT SCHUMER.
ABOUT SCHUMER. EXCUSE ME, CHUCK SCHUMER STARTED
THIS WHOLE MESS, RIGHT?
SO CAN WE GO BACK TO THE HEART
OF THE ISSUE?
WATCH IT AGAIN.
>> I WANT TO TELL YOU, GORSUCH,
I WANT TO TELL YOU, KAVANAUGH,
YOU HAVE RELEASED THE WHIRLWIND,
AND YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
YOU WON’T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU IF
YOU GO FORWARD WITH THESE AWFUL
DECISIONS.
DECISIONS. TRISH: YEAH, YOU CAN’T UNDO THAT
THE WITH SOME LOUSY HALF YOU
KNOW WHAT APOLOGY.
YOU CAN’T UNDO IT, AND YOU CAN’T
UNDO THAT SMILE.
IT WASN’T UNTIL MITCH
McCONNELL CALLED HIM OUT THAT
CHUCK SCHUMER WAS WILLING TO
EVEN ADMIT IN ANY KIND OF WAY
THAT HIS ACTIONS, HIS WORDS WERE
WRONG.
WRONG. WATCH McCONNELL HERE.
>> THE MINORITY LEADER OF THE
UNITED STATES SENATE THREATENED
TWO ASSOCIATE JUSTICES OF THE
U.S. SUPREME COURT WERE.
AT THE VERY BEST, HIS COMMENTS
WERE ASTONISHINGLY RECKLESS AND
COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE.
COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE. TRISH: YOU KNOW WHAT?
I’M TIRED OF IT AND YOU SHOULD
BE TOO, RIGHT?
I’M SURE YOU ARE.
BECAUSE THE GOP HAS BEEN
POLITICAL PARTY THAT WANTS TO DESTROY WHAT YOU STAND FOR, WHAT
YOU CARE ABOUT.
TRISH: YOU KNOW, THE GOP IF HAS
EVEN BEEN HOT AT.
STEVE SCALISE IS PROOF OF
THAT -- SHOT AT.
AND YET THE LEFT WANTS TO
ENCOURAGE HATE, WANTS TO
ENCOURAGE MOBS, WANTS TO
ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE?
ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE? IS THIS THE GOAL?
TO EMPOWER THE ANTIFA TO HARASS
THESE JUSTICES JUST LIKE THEY
DID TO A WOMAN RUNNING FOR
CONGRESS?
CONGRESS? REMEMBER THAT ONE?
I’VE PLAYED THE TAPE A BUNCH.
THEY SURROUNDED HER CAR.
THEY SCREAMED AT HER.
THEY THREATENED HER BECAUSE THEY
DIDN’T LIKE HER STANCE ON AN
ISSUE.
ISSUE. YOU SEE, BY ISSUING THREATS LIKE
YOU DID, CHUCK SCHUMER, YOU ARE
ENCOURAGING THAT KIND OF
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE. AND WHAT KIND OF AMERICA DOES
THAT MAKE?
THAT MAKE? CHUCK SCHUMER IS PROVING HIMSELF
TO BE NO BETTER THAN THE THUGS
HE’S OUT THERE TRYING TO
ENCOURAGE.
ENCOURAGE. SO APOLOGY?
SO APOLOGY? SENATOR SCHUMER, YOU KNOW, IF WE
CAN CALL IT THAT, APOLOGY NOT
ACCEPTED.
