US judge temporarily blocks Trump's freeze on federal funding
In an instant, Donald Trump has shut off billions, perhaps trillions of dollars that directly support states, cities, towns, schools, hospitals, small businesses, and most of all, American families. This is a dagger at the heart of the average American family in red states, in blue states, in cities, in suburbs, in rural areas. It is just outrageous.

So we have a load of talent in our caucus, and I'll tell you one thing. We are totally united in one thing. Many things, but one thing above all, we are united in going after Trump and showing the American people that he is making the middle class pay for the tax cuts on the rich. Today, we're doing it on Medicaid. You know, we're good. Yeah, let's pause it.

The Dems Are Lost
going to do it very soon on the tariffs. He wants to put these tariffs in. It's going to raise you folks, the average family, $2,000 a year for these tariffs. Why is he doing that? Something so stupid. Why? He wants to use that money for tax cuts for the billionaires. The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be. And that's why we're fighting them so hard.
Part Of The Problem
The Dems Are Lost
They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people. And you know what their attitude is? I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don't wanna pay taxes. Or I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own, or my employees? They hate government.

Government's a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it. And we're united.

Ep. 2142 - Trump HAMMERS…Ukraine?!
In a Fox interview released last night, President Trump spoke about the war in Ukraine. And some of his comments sounded straight from a Russian propaganda playbook. Rather than speak the truth, rather than acknowledge Vladimir Putin's role in starting this war, President Trump amazingly blamed Ukraine for Putin's invasion. To quote the president, you should never have started it, he said.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2142 - Trump HAMMERS…Ukraine?!
He was saying that to President Zelensky. This is disgusting, disgusting, after how this man has fought so hard and so valiantly.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2142 - Trump HAMMERS…Ukraine?!
Of course, there's some wasteful spending, but you don't use a meat axe and cut everything. We need to look at each program. We need to go through Congress and see what's wasteful and move to eliminate it. And what's very not wasteful, but very much needed. I'll give you one example. They went after community health centers in Medicaid. They're among the most deficient.
The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2142 - Trump HAMMERS…Ukraine?!
producers of health care we have, yet they tried to eliminate them. Makes no sense. They're just using a meat ax and cutting everything, including many things that American families need, want, and approve of.

Ep. 2142 - Trump HAMMERS…Ukraine?!
The more Donald Trump and Doge indiscriminately hack away at public agencies, the greater harm to Americans' well-being and even their safety.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2158 - Democrats CAVE, Trump Chalks Up Another Win!
to have the conflict on the best ground we have, summed up in a sentence, that they're making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires? It's much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, which to divert people from the number one issue we have against these bastards, sorry, these people, which is not only all these cuts, but they're ruining democracy.

Let me put it this way. First, I don't think there's anybody – well, I think I know how to win seats back in the Senate, which I've proven. Okay, I proved it in 2005 when we gained, I proved it in two, three, four years ago, they said, you'll never get back the Senate. I said, we're gonna. We won the two seats in Georgia, everybody's surprised.

'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
So my, you know, one of the talents that I have, and I miss some and have some, is how to get the right candidates, get the right campaigns, and win back. And even this year, winning four out of those five seats against big headwinds was trouble. But basically, I'm not the only person, nor should I be. This idea we need one person, that's a residue when you have a president. We don't.

'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I'm sort of like an orchestra leader. And there's a great deal of talent in the orchestra.

So I was born in 1950. And for the first 50 years, it was sort of what you might call the golden Medina, the golden age for Jewish people, not only in America, but forever. Because we had never seen... Such acceptance. We were accepted in ways we never thought.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
There's no final straw. It's all the things he is doing. But let me say this. Last time he was president, which is the closest experience we have with him. Admittedly, the world has changed some, particularly on the media side, how it works. We kept pushing and pushing and pushing and chipping away. And when he went below 40% in the polls, the Republican legislators started working with us.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
He was at 51. He's now at 48. We're going to keep at it, keep at it, keep at it. until he goes below 40. Look, I talk to a lot of these Republican legislators. I've worked with them. Some of them are Trump devotees and advocates and all that. But many of them don't like him, don't respect him, and worry about what he's doing to our country.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
You know, right now he's so popular they can't resist him. I mean, so many of them came to me and said, I don't think Hegseth should be defense secretary or RFK should be HHS. But Trump wants him. He won. Let's give him. That's not going to be the same. The Republicans would like to have some freedom from Trump, but they won't until we win. bring him down in popularity.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
That happened with Bush in 2005. It happened with Trump in 2017. When it happens, I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will resume working with us. And I talk to them. One of the places I told them to go in the gym, you know, when you're on that bike in your shorts panting away next to a Republican, a lot of the inhibitions come off.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
No. Let me tell you the little... I dealt with Biden and his staff often. And whenever I dealt with him, you know, the right wing was saying, oh, he's mentally declined. He wasn't. He had rational, good, strong conversations. Did he ramble from time to time? He's done that when I knew him when he was 45 years old. Did he sometimes forget a name? Who doesn't? But he was fine.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I didn't realize, I didn't, because of my dealings with him, we're just fine. And we worked on many things and had a lot of success. 2022 was regarded as one of the greatest legislative sessions we had. And we did it together, Senate and him, until the debate. And then I realized he couldn't win. Now, I did think the fact that he spoke lower a little bit and he walked slower,
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
allowed the right wing to portray him incorrectly as, you know, not competent. But I didn't find that.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I can't give you the answer to that. When I dealt with him, he was fine.

I was so proud when I was, I guess, about 12 years old that Sandy Koufax, a Jewish pitcher, not a scientist or a teacher, didn't play ball on Yom Kippur. And that made us so proud. I experienced a little anti-Semitism. There was a moment, for instance, when I was eight years old and we were driving home from my grandma's house.

'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
There are different polling numbers, you know, the exit polls. But most of them show, the ones that are most reliable show that still like, you know, a very high percentage, 70, something like that, of the Jews voted Democratic this year.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
Some of the more vocal people are on the right, and the Republican Party has made an attempt to make Israel and even anti-Semitism a political issue, which is horrible for Israel. I told that to Netanyahu actually years ago, not to make it a political issue, but he did. He embraced Trump and did it.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
But I do think the progressive values of the Jewish people, the fact that we've been oppressed for so long, we've always had a sympathy for the underdog, that doesn't go away. Obviously, with the situation in Israel, there are some people who felt the Democrats weren't strong enough, but Biden was. He stuck by Israel very strongly, and most everyone recognizes that.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
It cost him a little. I'm not sure how much, but okay. I think that basically the rank-and-file Jewish person, who is not that political, you know, no more than anybody else, is fundamentally a Democrat and will stay that way.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
First, I've criticized the Israeli government.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And I've criticized Netanyahu, as you know. So criticism of Israel and how it conducted the war is not anti-Semitic. But it begins to shade over, and it shades over in a bunch of different ways. When you use the word Zionist for Jew, you Zionist pig, you mean you Jewish pig.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
There's an incident on the New York subway and a bunch of people got on, you know, protesters or whatever, and said, all the Zionists get off the, who's a Zionist? Raise your hand. Get out of the subway car.

When the head of the Brooklyn Museum, who was Jewish, or the chairman of the board she was, but the Brooklyn Museum had nothing to do with Israel or taking positions on Israel, her house is smeared in red paint, that's antisemitism. And a lot of the slogans that people use either are or slide into antisemitism, okay? So, from the river to the sea, which is a Hamas expression.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
Well, what does Hamas believe? People don't pay enough attention to the evilness of Hamas in this whole discussion. What does Hamas believe? That there should be no Jews living from the Jordan River to the ocean. And their view, in their charter, they cite an old Arab proverb. Is that a Jew behind the tree? Chop him down and shoot him.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
So when people say from the river to the sea, it edges on anti-Semitism, even though some of them may not know it. How about by any means necessary? Does that mean kill any Jew by any means necessary? Okay? And the one that bothers me the most, which I want to take a minute on, is genocide. Okay? Genocide is described as... This is the definition.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And someone rolled down the window and said to my nice, decent father, you fucking Jew. I think of that almost every week, but it didn't happen very much. And the Jewish people, all the kinds of discrimination that we had seen, Jews couldn't work here, Jews couldn't do that, even the sort of innuendos went away.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
A country or some group tries to wipe out a whole race of people, a whole nationality of people. So if Israel was not provoked... and just invaded Gaza and shot at random Palestinians, Gazans, that would be genocide. That's not what happened. In fact, the opposite happened. And Hamas is much closer to genocidal than Israel, even when you have disagreements.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And again, I told Netanyahu, I told, I said to him what I thought, you got to reduce the number of casualties and make sure aid gets in and stuff like that. Here is the difficulty. Hamas has a different way of waging warfare. of using innocent Gazans as human shields. And they do. They put rockets in hospitals. They put their military supplies in schools.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
What is a country just supposed to do when rockets are being fired from a school? Sinwar, the head of Hamas, who was killed, you know what he said? Dead Palestinians and maimed Palestinians are a necessary sacrifice. His words, according to the Wall Street Journal, which got his documents. So Israel's been in a much more difficult position because of what Hamas did.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And it's not that Israel is above criticism. Of course it is not above criticism. But Hamas, well, I just, Hamas is never, wait, can I just finish? I'm sorry, it matters so much to me. I feel so deeply about it. Sorry.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And Hamas made it much, and no one blames Hamas. I mean, the news reports every day for a while showed Palestinians being hurt and killed. And, you know, I see the pictures of a little Palestinian boy without a leg, or I saw on sticks in my head there was a little girl, like 11, 12, crying because her parents were both killed. I ache for that.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
But on the news reports, they never mention that so much of the time Hamas used the Palestinian people as human shields. And so when these protesters come and accuse Israel of genocide, I say, what about Hamas? They don't even want to talk about Hamas. Wait, one final thing.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
This is very important. Jewish people were subject, at least in my judgment, to the worst genocide ever. I put in the book, on the day they got Kiev, the Nazis asked 33,000 Jews to line up by a trench, strip naked, and they shot them all dead. Every day Auschwitz killed 20,000 people. My family was killed from a place called Chortkiv in western Ukraine. And this was vicious and horrible.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And it is vicious of the opponents to call it genocide. Criticize it? For sure. Say Israel went too far? For sure. And you know what it does? It increases anti-Semitism because they're making Israel and the Jewish people look like monsters, which they are not.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And there was one reason above all, the Holocaust hung over a curtain, not only for Jewish people, but of course us, we always thought about it. I get a little emotional. People on my block, older ladies would come and roll up their sleeves. and show us the numbers on their arms that the concentration camp made them do because they were just a number, you know, probably scheduled to die. Okay.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
You know, my great-grandmother was the wife of a well-known scholar in Chortkiv. The Nazis rolled in in 1941 and said to the Jewish people of Chortkiv, gather in the town square. And then my great-grandmother, who had a house on the town square, they said your greater family should come to the porch. About 35 people from age 85 to three months came to the porch.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
The Nazis in front of all the Jews in Chortkiv said, you're coming with us. She said, we're not moving. They machine gunned every one of them down. I was in China on the night of October 7th, and the Israeli ambassador came in and told me what happened in the kibbutz of Biari. And they took like a hundred from the elderly to the children on a stage and shot them all down.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
So, yes, it's very emotional, and to almost all Jewish people, we all have relatives, and we know about this has happened. Again, genocide is a vicious, vicious word to use.

'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
Please. The UN has been anti-Israel, anti-Semitically against Israel, double standard. Moynihan was my idol. He became famous when in 1976 they tried to pass a resolution, Zionism is racism.

But when it shades over to violence and anti-Semitism, the colleges had to do something, and a lot of them didn't do enough. They shrugged their shoulders, looked the other way, et cetera, Columbia among them. Okay, so what did they do? They took away $400 million. I'm trying to find out where that $400 million, what they took away.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat

Students who go there who have nothing to do with the protests, students who might have protested peacefully or Jewish students who were victims of some of those protests. So I think we have to see. My worry is that this 400 million was just done in typical Trump fashion indiscriminately without looking at its effect.

Look, I don't know all the details yet. They're trying to come out, and there'll be a court case which will determine it. If he broke the law, he should be deported. If he didn't break the law and just peacefully protested, he should not be deported. It's plain and simple.

You know, it's a legal issue, and it's what are Columbia's rules, and what does it mean breaking them, and what are the legal rules about what did he do? I don't know what the charge against him is, so it's a little premature to make a decision, except if he didn't break the law, he should not be deported. If he broke the law, he should.

When did that change? It began changing in the beginning of the 21st century. And what I've written in the book is when things get bad or a little rough, that's when anti-Semitism sort of bubbles up and then can get worse. Conor Cruz O'Brien, the great Irish poet, said anti-Semitism is a light sleeper. So in 2001, for the first time after 9-11, we saw these conspiracy theories.

Well, if they're just protesting and they're arrested, they shouldn't be arrested for protesting as long as they go by the rules. Look, I get protests in front of my house all the time, but they have to have a permit and they have to obey certain rules. There are rules. But the bottom line is we have courts and Khalil will go to court.

I think that there is a feeling in New York on certain issues that New York is not doing a good enough job. Crime. Now, crime is actually lower. But I talk to lots of people that go on the subway, and almost inevitably there's someone there who's not hurting people but disruptive and frightening them because they read in the paper that some people were hurt.

You know, the pushing of people onto the tracks. And so I think that, above all, I think that influenced New Yorkers. New Yorkers are willing to put up with a lot to live in New York, but they want to be safe. And I think that's the number one reason we lost the percentage vote.

For the first time, Jews I know, I'm part of this generation, started saying, oh God, maybe it could happen here. No one thought it would happen here, but for the first time, the thought, maybe it could happen here. And as the highest ranking Jewish elected official, not only now, but ever in America, I felt an obligation to do what I could to combat this rise in anti-Semitism.
The Daily

So I felt I had to write the book. I had to write the book. And hopefully it'll do some good.

Yeah. Okay. Very good question. That's your job. I appreciate the endorsement. I think the American people think the Jews have had it very good. And we have. You know, I used to say when I was younger, oh, America's been so good to the Jews and the Jews have been so good to America.

The Jewish values and the American values are a very good mix and potent combination and have yielded a lot of success for the Jewish people. But I think people don't realize how fragile we think that success can be because of our history through the generations. You know, the Jewish holidays are all about escaping being killed. There's a joke.
The Daily

How do you sum up the Jewish holidays in three sentences? They tried to kill us. We survived. Let's eat. I don't know if I wrote that in my book.

Jewishness was always part of me. People know I'm Jewish. You know, when a new candidate comes to me and says, what's your advice? I say, my best advice is be yourself. The public may not know the difference between your education platform and your opponents, but they can smell a phony a mile away. And then I say, I'm from Brooklyn. Sometimes it helps me. Sometimes it hurts me.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
But I know one thing. If I tried not to be from Brooklyn, I'd be worse than whatever I am. Well, that's a synonym for Jewish. So I was always Jewish, and I enjoyed telling the stories of my family to my caucus and things like that. But it was never that vital to my career. And when I ran in 1998, I would go to upstate. You know, before that, I was from Brooklyn and Queens.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I was wondering, how would I be accepted as somebody who was obviously Jewish, although I didn't go talk about it a lot? I was Jewish. I was. It was very gratifying. You know, very little anti-Semitism. And when I got to Congress, the same. There was some anti-Semitism. One of the senior guys when I got on the Judiciary Committee said, Schumer, welcome to the Judiciary Committee.

The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I don't think we have an authenticity problem. We have a real direction now. I feel good about it. It's this. First, you got to look at who the Democratic Party is and who the Republican Party is, who they really are. We are the party of working people. We feel that very, very strongly. That's who we have always been. The Republican Party is a dramatic contrast to that.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
In the last 20 or 30 years, in my judgment, they have been taken over by a cabal of greedy, very wealthy people. And their whole goal is to reduce taxes, cut their own taxes, even though they're extremely rich, and get rid of any government regulation.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
That's where we're moving. That's where we have to move. So the contrast is real. What are we saying? And this is not just Chuck Schumer. I've talked to my whole caucus. I've talked to Hakeem and his caucus. I've talked to Martin, the new head of the DNC. I've talked to some of the others. It's a sort of a simple, it's a simple little phrase.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
Donald Trump is making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires. And then you can add things to it, is making the middle class pay for tax cuts for billionaires by cutting your health care, your Medicaid, by adding in tariffs and raising your prices, by cutting education so your kids don't get an education. That has a number of, I think, virtues.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
Correct. But it unifies us. In my caucus, from Bernie to Fetterman, everyone believes in this. Second, the public understands it. 80% of the public doesn't like tax cuts for billionaires to hurt the middle class. 60% of Republicans. It's true. So what happened? Because you asked, that's your question. We think we always cared. I'm sorry. We always cared about the working people.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
But in the last few years, while we did a lot for working people, here's what we didn't do. We didn't tell people about it. We thought just by legislating, people would know about it. They don't.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
No, we feel it, but we never, we talked about legislation and passing legislation. Now, one of the liabilities we have is a lot of the good things that'll come out of this legislation, take a few years to happen, you know, to build the road, to build the bridge, et cetera. But frankly, when we did talk about it, it worked. We had five battleground states that we had to win in the Senate, okay?
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And every week I met with each of the senators about implementing legislation. We called it implementation. If we said that to the public, that would be a bad idea, but it was a concept.

We won. We won in four of those five. I don't think the presidential campaign did enough of it. And I don't think Democratic Party as a whole did enough of it. We just assumed we were on the side of working people so they would just naturally assume it. And it didn't happen. We lost them because they didn't think we cared about them enough. We always did care about them, but we didn't convey it.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
So now, as you said, we're learning to convey in different ways. I put Cory Booker. and Tina Smith in charge of the social media. We had like 60 influencers at the State of the Union, and again, learning how to communicate, not just Chuck Schumer talking about the legislation we passed, but I brought people there who were affected by what's happening.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I brought a veteran, and they went on all the social media, and according to the people tell me, because I get all these reports, it had millions and millions of views. And the bottom line is, I think the party as a whole neglected how the social media has become so much more important, but we're learning it quickly and we're doing it much better and we're going to do it better still.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
That's in the past.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
It just happened. I got excited. I wanted to tell people I didn't do it right. But it's one day, you know, you can't get because a bunch of people on, you know, in the social media attack you. And most of the attacks on me, even on that, were from the right wing.

There's always going to be people who take a shot at you. That's how it is. You just got to move forward.

'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
I don't think it is. I think, first of all, talking about the difference between the two parties is what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to give the contrast. And we have a unique opportunity now. When Trump ran... He could say anything. He said, I'll lower your costs on day one.
The Daily
'The Interview': Chuck Schumer on Democrats, Antisemitism and His Shutdown Retreat
And once he's not running and he has to govern and he is so enthralled by tax cuts for the billionaires, it gives us an opening to talk to the people who were listening more to Trump before because we didn't talk to them. The negative that Trump is doing is spreading, but gives us an opportunity to regain the ear
