00:00Trump's actions last night make it clear
00:04Senate's in a quorum call
00:05I ask unanimous consent the quorum be dismissed
00:07Without objection
00:07Mr. President, Trump's actions last night
00:11make it crystal clear that he is the one
00:14standing in the way of FISA
00:16It was already clear that Trump was the one blocking FISA
00:20but the fact that he withdrew Jay Clayton
00:23should erase anyone's doubts
00:25Trump wants FISA to stay expired
00:30Trump is twisting himself up in knots
00:32and jumping through hoops
00:35to make it impossible to reauthorize FISA right now
00:39and he is embarrassing his Republican colleagues in the process
00:43Trump can blame Democrats all he wants
00:46but no one is going to believe him
00:48Trump just got caught red-handed
00:51undermining America's national security
00:55Withdrawing Clayton even shocked
00:57Trump's closest Republican allies
00:59Trump also reasserted his demand to tie FISA to his radical SAVE Act
01:04which would strip millions of Americans of their voting rights
01:08and resurrect the ghost of the Jim Crow South
01:13anyone
01:14Trump is just so off base
01:18and should get it out of his mind
01:20that he can save save
01:22by attaching it to FISA
01:24It ain't happening
01:25It ain't passing
01:27The SAVE Act is perhaps the most vicious piece
01:30of anti-voting rights legislation
01:32Trump has ever come up with
01:33and it has absolutely nothing
01:36nothing to do with FISA whatsoever
01:41So, every time Republicans find a path to negotiate on FISA
01:46Trump slams the door shut on them
01:53Every time the Republicans find a path to negotiate FISA
01:57Trump slams the door shut on them
02:00And you can hear the howls
02:03Trump's taking America's national security hostage
02:06to serve his own personal interests
02:10This is Trump's hostage note
02:13Here's what he said
02:14I will not approve FISA
02:16He said, we are canceling the Senate hearing
02:19He said, Bill Pulte will remain
02:22as the Acting Director of National Intelligence
02:26Trump should know
02:28National security is not a pawn
02:33It is not a pawn
02:35And yet, it is clear
02:38that he is holding our national security hostage
02:42and it is absolutely disgraceful
02:49Trump is glee
02:51Trump is gleeful
02:55about undermining national security
02:57and leaving America vulnerable
02:59saying it is simply
03:00to add a slight bit of intrigue
03:03when American safety is at stake
03:06in a dangerous world
03:07with dangerous countries
03:08and he says he is adding a slight bit of intrigue?
03:13Are you kidding me?
03:16Intrigue when it comes to America's national security?
03:19Intrigue when it comes to the safety of our people?
03:25Trump ought to add a slight bit of common sense
03:31as he does this
03:32But again, just to repeat what he said
03:35He said, quote
03:36I will not approve FISA
03:38We are canceling the Senate hearing
03:40Bill Pulte will remain
03:42as the Acting Director of National Intelligence
03:44All three sentences show
03:47All three sentences show that Trump
03:48is making national security a pawn
03:51to his own political
03:53and off-base interests
03:59There can be no other explanation for the choices
04:02Trump is making
04:03and his insistence on having a political hack
04:06like Bill Pulte serve
04:08atop our National Intelligence Committee
04:11other than he plans to order Pulte
04:14to abuse his powers
04:16as Director of National Intelligence
04:19The question for oversight
04:21now is what exactly will Trump ask Pulte to do?
04:26Expose intelligence sources?
04:28Alter analysis?
04:30Target political opponents?
04:32Mess with elections?
04:33Pulte has shown that he knows no limits
04:36and will do whatever Trump asks
04:37legal or not
04:38ethical or not
04:40in our safety
04:41in American people's interests or not
04:43make no mistake
04:45all of the consequences
04:47that come from undercutting
04:48our national security
04:49will fall on Trump
04:52and any Republicans
04:53who go along
04:54with his dangerous partisan games
