Transcript through Schumer’s Senate Page:
Schumer: I had a couple of questions this morning of my nice colleague — and as soon as once more, his energy, his indomitability, and his caring about this democracy, which everyone knows is in danger, is simply wonderful and so my query pertains to one thing he touched on earlier than, in his discussions with our nice senator from New Hampshire. There are such a lot of methods this administration is making an attempt to tear aside democracy and one in every of them, you talked about a minute in the past, is the threatening of media to simply do what Trump needs and the person who’s head of the FCC appears to be an instrumentality of that.
Trump has mentioned, issues they are saying I don’t like shouldn’t be placed on the air, they usually’ve held over the heads the printed licenses of a few of our nice media corporations. In different methods, they’re getting a few of their associates to take over a few of our media corporations. And isn’t one of many biggest blows to democracy — I’d ask my colleague — one of many biggest blows to democracy once we don’t have a totally free press?
And has it been an indicator of so lots of the nations that he has talked about which are autocracies or absolute dictatorships to don’t have any free press, so no data can come out? And doesn’t that dramatically harm the American individuals, when authorities is shielded and might do no matter it needs — and harm as many individuals because it needs — since you don’t have a free press? Shouldn’t it actually frighten each American that it is a giant step on the highway away from democracy in the direction of tyranny and in the direction of authoritarian authorities?
