Foreign. What the American people need and the Democratic Party need is strong leadership. And unfortunately, we have Chuck Schumer, the Cowardly lion, who we refer to as Chuckles, who again proved he is a terrible leader. He cannot beat the moment. He is impotent and he needs to step aside. And after agreeing to a CR in the Senate, Chuckles tries to go on the Senate floor and like, give us the old bamboozle, oh, it wasn't me. Bullshit.
B
Here he is care away all to bow to the billionaire elite and special interests. Democrats are united as the party of lower health care costs and improving our health care system. We will not give up this fight. We will deliver for the American people. I yield the floor.
A
What I have to say to that, Chuckles, is bullshit. You are not leading the fight. You are leading the cave. You are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. You single handedly with this vote, one of two things is true. You baited the people that voted for it because they're not running again, or their independence or. It's a complete and total failure of your leadership that you did not whip the votes to keep the senators all voting in a Democratic block. This falls on Chuckles first and foremost. I am used to corruption and failure and impotent leadership from Trump. I am used to criminals and nut balls that are unhinged being at the top of that party. But what we need in this moment is leadership. And what we've got is Chuckles, who is so frail and pathetic. It is absolutely pathetic what he did. Even Hakeem Jeffries, who we don't heat praise on all the time, has been able to keep his entire caucus together. But Chuckles doesn't do that because he's behind it. He wants wants the government to open. Everybody wants the government to open. But you sold the American people down the river. Mike Johnson's already said he's not going to put a vote about the Affordable Care act on the floor. So you completely knowing this, did it anyway. And you suck. Chuckles, step aside. Let somebody else take over. That's a fighter that has convictions and that will not cower to Donald Trump and his hideous authoritarian regime. And the first person in politics to come out against Chuckles was Rona. And Representative Ronna has been a leader and a fighter throughout this. And he says Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can't lead the fight to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for? Agree 100% with Rona. Chuckles caved on the last continuing resolution. He Caved again. He needs to step aside. Every single Democratic senator needs to go to him and say, step aside. This is horseshit. If you can't do it, let's get somebody in there that can. And somebody we know, we know that can take this fight to this pathetic weakness regime is Bernie Sanders. And this was his take on what happened last night in the Senate.
C
Eight Democrats voted with the Republicans to allow them to go forward on this continuing resolution. And to my mind, this was a very, very bad vote. What it does, first of all, is it raises health care premiums for over 20 million Americans by doubling and in some cases, tripling or quadrupling. People can't afford that when we are already paying the highest prices in the world for health care. Number two, it paves the way for 15 million people to be thrown off of Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Studies show that will mean that some 50,000Americans will die every year unnecessarily. And all of that was done to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1%.
A
Here's the thing. According to the data, 50,000Americans will die. 15 because of the cuts to health care. 20 million Americans will be paying double plus for health insurance. Not to mention, Donald Trump is tearing apart not just the White House, but the United States government and Chuck Schumer. That wasn't enough for you to stand tall and have courage. That wasn't enough for you to take a stand and have conviction for what's it going to take? What is it going to take for this impotent leadership in the Democratic Party to get clarity and stand firm for not just the senators and the representatives that are under their command, but in the Democratic Party, but for all Americans. Because Republicans don't give a shit that more of their constituents require ACA protections than Democrats are on Medicaid. They don't give a shit. But as Democrats, we do. So basically, Chuck Schumer handed Donald Trump a blank check again with zero concessions. He needs to step aside. And here we have another fighter in the Senate, another option for leadership, Chris Murphy. Chris Murphy says bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in crushing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That's why voting for Trump's continuing resolution without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality mistake. I voted no. And leave that up here for a minute. Seth, here's the thing. The misconduct is going to succeed because of Chuckles and his failed leadership. It his absolute authoritarianism is going to succeed because we don't have leadership in the Democratic Party that says no. We will fight you every step of the way. It is pathetic. It has to change. This has got to be a wake up call. Seniority. All that shit going on in the Senate. Enough. Scrap it. We want fighters in the Democratic Party. We demand fighters. We demand strength of conviction. And we do not have it at this moment. We have got to to get it. I'd like to take a minute now to thank our sponsor, dupe.com because here's the reality. Dupe.com saves you money.

Every single poll said the American people understand. It is the Republicans that are causing the shutdown. It is the Republicans that are tanking the economy. It is the Republicans that are causing inflation, is the billionaire tax cuts that we no longer want. And so instead of taking this opportunity and continuing to make a stand, when you see poll after poll after poll that Trump is underwater, he's basically down to just the core cult members in popularity on every issue. And here's what happened when he was at a Washington Commanders game last night. If this doesn't tell the story of how the American people feel about Trump, chuckles, nothing will. You cannot understand if you don't understand polls and you don't understand this video. You hear the bears, it's non stop billing. Can't even hear him because they're booing so loud. And I just want to point out that went on for over two minutes. That stadium booed Trump for over two minutes. They were giving him the bird. They made their voices heard. And unfortunately, leadership in the Democratic Party doesn't support the will of the people. And one just real interesting note. After he got booed, Trump packed up his toys and went home. His little ceilings were hurt because he is a coward. He is a malignant narcissist that cannot be allowed to bully Congress and that's exactly what he's doing. Because we know Moses Mike Grinder Johnson has his lips plastered on on Trump's ass. And it depends on the Democrats. And right now we have a failure in leadership in the Democratic Party. We've got more news to come. Jennifer is madder than a hornet over this. She's missed her five flights have been canceled from California going back to New York City. Once she gets back to New York City, she's going to come on and I have a feeling she is going to read Chuck Schumer to filth. You're not going to want to miss it. Please like this video.

Title: Trump Visibly Shaken By Non-Stop Booing, Dems Fold to End MAGA Shutdown?
Date: November 10, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan (IHIP News)
This episode centers on progressive outrage over Democratic leadership’s response to the government shutdown, with a fiery critique of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ("Chuckles") for what is seen as a capitulation to Republican and Trump-aligned interests. The hosts analyze the Senate’s approval of a continuing resolution (CR) with significant health care repercussions, highlight the American public’s rejection of Trump at a high-profile event, and spotlight calls for stronger leadership within the Democratic Party.
Angie Sullivan launches a passionate, critical assessment of Chuck Schumer, repeatedly calling him “impotent” and “pathetic” for allegedly failing to whip Democratic Senators into a unified voting block against the Republican-backed CR.
Comparison to Republicans: Angie expresses disappointment that while she expects "corruption and failure and impotent leadership" from Trump and the Republican Party, she demands real leadership from Democrats who, in her view, are failing to fight for vulnerable Americans.
Contrast with Hakeem Jeffries: Jeffries, House Democratic leader, is praised for his ability to keep his caucus united—something Schumer is accused of failing spectacularly.
Guest appearance from Sen. Bernie Sanders underscores the episode’s policy focus. Sanders voices grave concerns about the ramifications:
Angie supports Sanders’ claims with polling data, reiterating that the GOP is responsible for the shutdown and economic fallout, yet Democrats failed to hold the line when public opinion was on their side.
Both Angie and Jennifer urge Schumer’s resignation, arguing that Democratic Senators should directly demand he step aside. They name Rona and Chris Murphy as stronger alternatives:
Sen. Chris Murphy is highlighted for openly opposing the CR:
Angie passionately calls for “fighters” and “strength of conviction,” fed up with what she characterizes as empty gestures and reverence for Senate seniority.
The episode pivots to a viral moment where Trump is loudly booed at a Washington Commanders game:
This incident is presented as proof of Trump’s growing unpopularity, in contrast with polling data showing that, outside “core cult members,” his base is shrinking.
Angie notes Trump’s visibly shaken reaction—“he packed up his toys and went home”—illustrating his inability to handle public dissent.
Angie sharply criticizes “Moses Mike Grinder Johnson” (Speaker Johnson) for enabling Trump and calls out the dangerous implications of Democratic weakness.
Repeatedly, she links the Democrats’ willingness to fold to increased Republican authoritarianism and a growing risk to American democracy and public health.
Angie on Schumer’s failures:
Bernie Sanders on Senate vote:
Chris Murphy (via Angie):
On Trump at the stadium:
The episode is a cathartic, searing critique of Democratic leadership, especially Schumer, for perceived weakness and betrayal at a critical moment. The hosts blend exasperation, dark humor, and political analysis to urge a new generation of “fighters” in their party—leaders more willing to stand up to Trump and the MAGA faction’s extremism. With pointed references to real Congressional dissenters (Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, Rona), the podcasters challenge listeners to reject seniority politics and demand conviction and action, all while connecting the stakes of political leadership directly to the lives and well-being of millions of Americans. The episode closes with a promise of further news and “mad as hell” commentary—particularly from Jennifer, who is teased as preparing for an even more heated segment.
