00:00Let me go to other people.

00:01Leader Schumer, with the soft cap being extended, and if the tax cuts are extended too, will your constituents benefit from that, though?

00:07Look, the bottom line is my constituents are going to be hurt dramatically.

00:12New York has 7 million-odd people, 7 million-plus people on Medicaid.

00:17They're going to get hurt.

00:19New York has hundreds of thousands of people on SNAP.

00:22They're going to get hurt.

00:23New York has tens of thousands of clean energy jobs.

00:27Many of them will be gone.

00:30They're going to get hurt.

00:31So this bill is very bad for New York and very bad for America.

00:37It's bad for every state.

00:38Ask Tom Tillis.

00:40Yes.

00:41That's my question.

00:42Is Tom Tillis, what seems helpful for you in 2020's midterms, given his court speech and all the statements that we've made about this bill?

00:50Well, Tillis spoke truth to power.

00:53Unfortunately, not any other Republicans had the courage to do that.

00:57But obviously, what Tillis said is true.

01:01And it's not just him who said it.

01:03It's lots of people who said it.

01:04But of course, what Tom Tillis said will reverberate around America.

01:09And we're going to make sure of that.

01:11Yes.
