Transcript by way of Schumer’s Senate Page:
Schumer: I had just a few questions this morning of my nice colleague — and as soon as once more, his power, 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 attempting to tear aside democracy and one in all them, you talked about a minute in the past, is the threatening of media to only 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, and so they’ve held over the heads the published licenses of a few of our nice media corporations. In different methods, they’re getting a few of their pals to take over a few of our media corporations. And isn’t one of many best blows to democracy — I might ask my colleague — one of many best blows to democracy once we don’t have a totally free press?
And has it been a trademark of so lots of the international locations that he has talked about which can be autocracies or absolute dictatorships to don’t have any free press, so no data can come out? And doesn’t that dramatically damage the American individuals, when authorities is shielded and may do no matter it needs — and damage 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 street away from democracy in direction of tyranny and in direction of authoritarian authorities?
