My only question is going back to the Schumer,
why don't you get a bipartisan vote?
This is what Democrats don't understand.
They don't understand.
So you can't get 100% of what you want,
you can't get 80% of what you want, maybe get 60% of you what you want.
So you can say [SOUND].
>> Joe Scarborough is about to give Democrats a losing strategy,
which is they've already tried and have lost with repeatedily.
We have a bipartisan bill, right?
It's just like the electoral count act, which desperately needs to be passed.
Democratic leaders, no we're not gonna do it because we can't get the whole loaf.
It's time these people wake up, take the winds you can get and
if you've got a bipartisan bill on abortion rights,
you take it even if it's 60% of what you want.
Because then you can say we have a bipartisan group of senators,
a majority, a bipartisan majority saying that what
the Supreme court is thinking about doing is wrong.
>> MSNBC's Joe Scarborough along with other,
I guess Democrat leaning political pundits happened to be
some of the dumbest people I have ever encountered in this space.
And I mean that with my whole being because this guy,
there in his air conditioned fancy studio, completely oblivious
to the fact that we're dealing with a right wing in America that not
only wants to ban women's reproductive rights, their right to an abortion.
But they don't even wanna make an exception in most cases when it
comes to incest, when it comes to rape.
He wants to [INAUDIBLE] Democrats [INAUDIBLE] a bipartisan bill,
at least some reproductive rights protected.
Is he living in the same country?
Apparently not.
Apparently I don't know if he's on drugs when he does the show.
I don't know if he's just super lazy and
doesn't bother paying attention to what's happening in congress.
But I wanna remind him of just one short video featuring House, I'm sorry,
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, and
what he said is on his agenda during the Biden administration.
Let's watch that.
>> 100% of our focus is on stopping
this new administration.
>> 100% of my focus is stopping Joe Biden's administration,
meaning serving as an obstructionist as he did during the Obama
years to anything the Democratic party wants to do today.
That is a video from 2021, I know Joe Scarborough covered it.
Is he stupid?
Did he forget?
Does he genuinely think that Democrats moving further to the right to
appease the American taliban in this country is somehow going to
translate into women regaining their reproductive rights.
Is that really what he thinks?
Because I don't believe that he actually thinks that, and if he does,
he is genuinely one of the dumbest people on television.
>> While other reasons why he's dumb too, but
he's mainly disingenuous in my opinion.
So first of all he says take the win, but wait Joe, which one?
Because the bill you're referring to, even if you compromise with Murkowski and
Collins, only gets to 52 votes and they're not willing to overturn the filibuster.
In fact, Chuck Schumer is not even gonna vote on it, so
that has no chance of passage, zero.
That's not a conjecture, that is just a fact of legislative procedure and
Joe Scarborough does know that.
So, when are you referring to?
If you said, hey, they're gonna codify a role, but
there's gonna be some provisions you don't like and so take the 60%.
I would seriously consider that because then at least
we would guarantee abortion rights in the country, most importantly,
protect the right of women to make the choice.
And maybe there's some painful compromise, but
there is no such bill and it has no chance of passing.
Honestly, if you're not a liar, Joe Scarborough, what are you referring to?
And so my guess is, he'll fall back on.
Well, it is true, it won't pass and it won't change anything, but
it will give the appearance of bipartisanship.
And how would that help?
Because they think, no, no,
because the American people love things that are bipartisan, do they?
Do you think the mega crowd would be like,
the Republicans worked with Democrats that was bipartisan.
I really like that, I will now vote for them.
No, if the Republicans ever worked with Democrats, MAGA would rip their heads off.
That's why Mitch McConnell says, no, no, we will never work with Democrats.
You don't know that phenomenon, who's rewarding bipartisanship?
Now you're talking about the 1990 because he was in Congress as a Republican, you
guys would pass all these bills including, by the way, all the way through the Trump
era, where they would do tax cuts for the rich and they would call it bipartisan.
And then the media like Scarborough would then come out and do propaganda and
go, look, everybody agrees that the rich should get more.
Everybody agrees, it's bipartisan, in this case, and
in this world, bipartisan doesn't help you at all.
But it does, but this is important guys.
But it would help Murkowski and Collins who are Republicans pretend
they're pro choice while knowing that the bill is never gonna pass.
So in fact, Joe Scarborough who is a Republican, but now it's on MSNBC.
So he's considered left wing [LAUGH] in Washington.
They're jokes, right?
He says, help my Republican friends do marketing.
No, no, Joe, we're not gonna do that, but don't worry, Joe,
none of the Democrats are watching.
You're gonna listen to us anyway.
Okay, they hate progressives.
They love what you said, help the Republicans do marketing, and
not actually pass anything.
Why didn't somebody tell us this before, they're gonna love your idea.
In fact, they're actually in the middle of doing it right now, so
I don't know what you're yelling and screaming about.
And lastly and
all the idea of you guys, progressives just want the whole loaf there.
So unreasonable and practical,
that is one of the top brainwashing methods that mainstream media uses to make
sure they protect corporate Democrats and Democratic primaries.
So I asked you, Joe, where's the 60% on child tax credit,
on paid family leave, on lower drug prices, on anything?
>> [CROSSTALK] Voting rights, where are the voting right?
Where are the police reform?
Where's all of that?
>> None of it, there's no 60%,, there's no middling proposal, there's none of it.
Okay, so the only thing that has some counterproposal was,
they said out of the thousands of drugs that are in the country that are all
killing us because we can't afford it.
Like literally killing us.
The corporate Democrats proposed that they would limit prices on five of them,
five out of thousands.
Why?
Because those five are unimportant and its marketing, so
then Joe Scarborough can come back out and go, bipartisan graven is amazing.
The prices are lower now on drugs for five drugs but not the thousands of others.
Okay, so is that the 60% you're referring to Joe lying Scarborough?
By the way, that bitch, when I was on MSNBC cried to Mommy and asked the head
of MSNBC to get me to stop criticizing him cuz his feelings were hurt.
>> Poor Joe Scarborough.
[SOUND] You go whining to Mommy and Daddy was drinking very mean to you.
>> [CROSSTALK] I was in the middle of playing when Cenk said things that
were true.
He's not allowed to say things that are true, this is corporate media,
why did you let him say things that are true?
He'd ruined my lie.
>> The thing for Joe Scarborough, a former Republican member of Congress,
to give unsolicited advice to the Democratic Party, but
it's something entirely different for the Democratic Party to take that advice.
And I just wanna know they have taken that advice and it wasn't today,
it wasn't yesterday, they've been using that strategy.
And now, regardless of what their own voters want, regardless of what their
base wants, and the reason why they do it, it always goes back to the money.
They'll give you all sorts of excuses, they'll talk about the parliamentarian,
they'll talk about the filibuster,
they'll talk about, it's the moderates in our party.
What can we do?
But there's always a convenient excuse, to help provide cover for the fact that they
just happen to share the same corporate donors as the Republican Party, that's it.
They're all friends, [INAUDIBLE] they mutuals, [INAUDIBLE] amazing.
That is priority number one for the Democratic Party, and for anyone who
thinks, well, I don't know, maybe it's just that the Democrats are weak.
Maybe they're a little spineless, and
maybe we need to give them a little more confidence, a little more courage.
No, no, no, they're not weak and they're not spineless, and
we've seen the way that they're able to fight and
play politics when it comes to progressives within their ranks.
So we know that they have the capability to fight, it's just that they'll never
fight unless it's someone who's going against their corporate donors.
>> Okay, to give you a perfect sense of that, last point here,
Joe Scarborough certainly stopped being a Republican,
I believe he switched to being a democrat during the Trump years.
Do you know how many of his positions he changed?
None, because they're the same positions,
whether you're a corporate Republican or a corporate Democrat.
Okay, so then you tell me,
how is the Democratic Party any different than the Republican Party?
The whole thing's a joke man, and
they pay people like Scarborough lot of money to do marketing on their behalf,
not the actual news, not anywhere near it, no facts at all.
