mitch mcconnell is all for that as well. what am i talking about? you have a manhattan da who retired and open an investigation of the trump organization. and then to conduct an investigation of the trump organization. and then attorney general in albany new york and then to be disbarred in my opinion right then and there but then she actually is now ordering the trump organization to comply with her subpoena even though it is quite obvious in the civil investigation that there is no attempt to conduct justice is all about trying to destroy donald trump. and then a democratic elected district attorney in georgia trying to make the case of donald trump's phone call with a georgia official berating him for failing to hold up the georgia law as president trump saw it. they opened an investigation there also. heavy democrat districts politically elected prosecutors. but then the goal is for injustice in many with the backing of george soros which is why we have such a massive problem with crime and murder in this country and will come back to that. now

mentioning before the break about mitch mcconnell and certain financial ties. please explain. >> china has a strategy that applies to the bidens and the mcconnell's and what they are looking for is what they say translated into english is big help us a little badmouth. they don't mind if mcconnell or biden criticizes on human rights, they want help on access to western technology to the markets and to the capital markets and that's what mitch mcconnell has given them. if you look at his financial background, you can understand why. he's married to elaine chao whose company owns a shipping company and in 1993 when he recently got married they traveled to beijing as guests of that chinese state shipbuilding corporation and mitch mcconnell as us senator at the time. beijing basically offered a deal in send b will build all the cargo ships for you. we will finance the construction, we will provide the cruise to mentorships and give you lots of contracts from chinese state-owned companies to ship them around the asia-pacific region. they supplement for business to r

his latest book is about the damage to the senate that mitch mcconnell has done. it is much more expensive than we get to cover in our hours of this kind of coverage. ira shapiro is going to begin to tell that story tonight, his book is really an amazing account of what is happening in the senate, and how mitch mcconnell has brought us to hear. and, the huge danger of returning him to the majority leader possession if the republicans win the senate. >> yeah, and who are the people who will be with mitch mcconnell on that senate majority? the likes of herschel walker, and who knows who comes out of pennsylvania if they win that race, it will truly be mitch mcconnell in bold, and the most consequential figure of her time, lawrence, as you point out. with a bunch of extremist behind him this time. >> it's very important book, we're gonna get to it at the end of the hour, thanks many. >> looking forward to watching it. >> there is now exactly one person, one person standing between the republican candidate for governor in pennsylvania, and the destruction of represent

mitch mcconnell's quest to undo a woman's fundamental freedom is before us. what we need to do is make sure that we have this opportunity to vote to protect a woman's right for fundamental freedom to make her own health care decisions, chart her own future. that's what today's vote is about. it's outrageous the republicans will block an up or down vote on it. >> it could have perhaps been up and down, according to collins and murkowski, if those two will gotten what they wanted, what senator manchin said he wanted, which was a clean bill, if you will, just codifying roe v. wade. wouldn't that have been enough? could that have then made it marginally bipartisan? >> i respect all three of those colleagues. i respectfully disagree with their vote today. what's really important here is that the vast majority of americans, both political parties, support a woman's right to make these kinds of critical, intense, complicated, personal decisions themselves. what this vote is about is making sure that people understand who stands for that. in my case in new hampshire,

was senator mitch mcconnell. and the republican chairman of the finance committee, bob packwood, still respected as a legislator but now disgraced in as personal behavior to the right thing in the end, basing the inevitable and resigned from the senate. after mitch mcconnell recommended his expulsion. and mitch mcconnell knew that expelling bob packwood would lose a republican seat in the senate. democratic senator ron wyden one, the special election to fill that seat. mitch mcconnell wanted, was expelling a republican senator knowing that they would lose the seat to the democrats. at the beginning of the pack would've assignation two years earlier, there was not a single senator in either party who actually expected bob quit to suffer any serious penalty from the ethics committee. but mitch mcconnell did with the january six committee is doing now and simply follow the evidence without trying to hide any of the evidence and protect his fellow republican. most senators, democrat, republican, did not want to vote

mitch mcconnell didn't give any specifics whatsoever, but by mitch mcconnell saying, hold on, i'm going to encourage jon cornyn to talk and i'm optimistic, maybe something can happen that. by that happening? you know what that did to chuck shumer? chuck schumer didn't take anything to a vote and more time passed and those republicans can hope and pray that the news cycle moves on and we'll stop demanding action. do you think carlos is right or are republicans just playing the game they always have? >> look, steph, i really hope carlos is right, and you know, i am very optimistic than i ever have been that something can happen, but you're exactly right. the longer we go from the uvalde driving the headlines the less the chances that something will happen. we have to strike while the iron is hot. the iron is hot right now. so that means when they come back the week of june 6th is the week that we're looking for, that's the week that something has to get done and there's a compromise before that week. we've got to make sure that this happens now, but look, here's the bottom line, and i've

mitch mcconnell did not give any specifics whatsoever, but by mitch mcconnell saying hold on, i'm going to encourage john cornyn to talk, and chris murphy saying i'm optimistic, maybe something could happen here. adrian, by that happening. well you know what that did to chuck schumer? he did not make something to a vote. more time will pass. congress is in recess, on break, because it's memorial day. and they can play that the news cycle will move on and that will stop depending action. are they just paying a game that they always have? >> look, i think that carlos is right. and i am very optimistic, more than i have ever have been. that something could happen. but you are exactly right. the longer we go from uvalde driving the headlines, the less the chance this is going to happen. we have to strike while the iron is hot, it is right red hot right now. so i believe we can change it. -- that means they have to have a compromise before that week to explain. so they can vote on it in that week. so we have to make sure this happens now. but here is the bottom line, i will say this. i've ne

i don't think what mitch mcconnell said was right. i disagree. my only problem is that the protests in the catholic church. i think that's awful. host: so some of the protests that have happened over the weekend at churches you're talking about? caller: yes. i'm a catholic. but i do believe -- i don't know, i am kind of conflicted. when they go so far to go into a catholic church and dress the way they do and say the things they do, i don't think that's right. host: did you see any protests at the church you attend? caller: no i haven't. host: appreciate the call. we will go to lewis in illinois. caller: good morning. caller: i think abortion will definitely make a difference in my vote. i grew up as an unwanted child. i was not loved, i was hit, i was abused. it makes no sense to me to bring unwanted children into this world. the women of this country deserve the same freedoms that men have and i don't see anything like this happening to men. >> a prior caller mentioned the comments of mitch mcconnell the minority leader in the senate interviewe

another issue where mitch mcconnell would like to run out the clock. republicans do not want to get into details. they would like to avoid the issue. jonathan: wonderful to catch up, greg valliere. how sustainable is that position from senator mcconnell, just wait it out until november? lisa: if the blame game works, pretty sustainable. they have got a lot of blame they can pass given the anger about inflation. how do they ride that and not have to provide anything substantive on the other? jonathan: we have brought this up, whether the calendar is on their side in the white house, can things get better coming out of summer? it reminds me of last year, waiting for supply-side response, waiting for inflation to come down. citi just published, -- increases the risk the fed will hike through the second half of the year. that is a risk. jackson hole in august and the september fomc may see fed officials guiding towards a high neutral rate and the need to overshoot it. the back end of q3 into q4 and play. lisa: timing is not necessarily on the democrats sid

mitch mcconnell has a lot at stake. so does trump. the power of the trump endorsement is being tested in state after state. for mitch mcconnell, this could determine if he has a good shot at becoming majority leader again and maybe just as important, what kind of majority he would have. it is very, very possible that mitch mcconnell later this year will get his wish of winning back the senate majority, but the balance of power will be candidate's hand picked by donald trump, and that is not what he was hoping would happen last year when he told liz cheney it's time to move on from donald trump. >> and another gift of this book, folks watching at home, these are two of the best political reporters in the country. you also detail many great individual stories that get at the tensions in the democratic party, including this one about nancy pelosi and the relationship between obama and biden. obama and biden spoke by phone occasionally but not often. hardly the stuff of the type brotherhood both men sold to the country as a cherried polit

we now have mitch mcconnell saying i will not get rid of the filibuster. the only politicians in washington who have changed their position on the legislative filibuster are the democrats who didn't want to get rid of it during trump but now want to get rid of it because biden is the president. mcconnell has been a constant. the democrats have wavered on this, so let's be factual about who is where on the filibuster issue. >> one of the things i want to ask you about abortion rights, help me understand how there are some states that want to ban abortion, at the same time that they want to restrict access to some birth control? so mississippi, for instance, which would have a trigger law to ban abortion, also this weekend basically suggested that they would look at restricting access to, at some point, some forms of birth control. how do those two work? in other words, are they trying to increase unwanted pregnancy? >> i don't think anybody is going to get too far on banning contraception. i know this keeps getting thrown around. my view is some states are

despite this very loud comment from mitch mcconnell with a national ban on abortion. why are so many republicans staying quiet about the roe v. wade news? i mentioned -- wilson yesterday it is probably a result of the -- finally catching the car. >> could be. my sense is that we still live in an era of single numbered districts. where people are representing a race. and they are going to be holding on to that base. when i started out with reagan we had up to 9800 seats up for grabs in the congress. now you are lucky to have 20. and so people have decided that -- are my biggest challenge. rather than the general election. and they have to make sure i'm not upright in early by somebody on the. write that creates a toxic atmosphere. that is why a lot of these folks are going way over where you would advise a politician to go into, frankly if they were antiabortion. they should have just been circling the -- and congratulating themselves. but they are going way beyond that. you mentioned just a little while ago. my sense is they want to make sure that they are not going t

that is mitch mcconnell in kentucky. he is someone president biden just called a rational republican. and while biden hopes for a rational response from congress, his counterpart to the north is proposing new gun law the canadian prime minister introducing legislation to impose a national freeze on handgun sales in response to a spike in homicides in his country. >> we republic news that the vast majority of gun owners use them safely and in accordance with the law. but other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there's no reason anyone in canada should need guns in their everyday lives. and canadiens certainly don't need assault-style weapons designed to kill the largest number of of people in the shortest amount of time. >> that announcement by trudeau comes two years after the deadliest mass shooting in canadian history when police say a gunman killed 22 people with a gun puchased here in the u.s. in maine. canada almost immediately banned assault weapons. meanwhile, president biden just wrapped up a me

after mitch mcconnell left the door open to a nationwide ban. he told usa today it was, quote, possible. the senate plans to vote on a bill to provide protections for abortion rights on wednesday, the vote is expected to fail. democrats don't have the support to pass the 60 vote threshold. senator lisa murkowski, one of the last potential republican supporters of the bill said that she will vote no. still with us victoria defrancesco, and cnn contributor matthew dowd, he is also former george w. bush strategist, and founder of country over party. this vote on monday, is expected to fail, why is it still important that they hold it? >> well, it's going to fail, but all i said, politics is all about pointing out and pushing through where you want the debate to be about. and i think democrats would be smart to make this entire campaign over the next six months, about our fundamental rights and freedom. not only about pro-choice but also about voting rights. i think holding a vote, even if you lose begins to build residents for that in the coming ca

his latest book is about the damage to the senate that mitch mcconnell has done. it is much more expensive than we get to cover in our hours of this kind of coverage. ira shapiro is going to begin to tell that story tonight, his book is really an amazing account of what is happening in the senate, and how mitch mcconnell has brought us to hear. and, the huge danger of returning him to the majority leader possession if the republicans win the senate. >> yeah, and who are the people who will be with mitch mcconnell on that senate majority? the likes of herschel walker, and who knows who comes out of pennsylvania if they win that race, it will truly be mitch mcconnell in bold, and the most consequential figure of her time, lawrence, as you point out. with a bunch of extremist behind him this time. >> it's very important book, we're gonna get to it at the end of the hour, thanks many. >> looking forward to watching it. >> there is now exactly one person, one persontain

tell us what you think of mitch mcconnell's suggestion of a federal ban. doesn't that completely fly in the face of republican government hands off ethos? >> well, they're being hypocrites. they say that they believe in liberty, they believe in freedom, they believe and states rights. they really believe subjugating women. it is ironic and tragic that on this mother's day we are talking about compulsory motherhood. g it's not just compulsory motherhood. it is compulsory conception. they are seriously talking about banning the iud, banning all forms of contraception. they believe -- and this is a determined minority with a long game plan. they believe that the fertilize over him, even before it is implanted in the uterine walls, is a human being. they are entitled to that belief, but they are not entitled in a society like ours to impose that belief on everybody. i think it is an important women's issue and an important men's issue as well. freedom is indivisible. this all makes me think of the hand raids tail and the idea -- mitch mcconnell, as you showed,

senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. he told usa today in an interview that it is a possibility that republicans would to do away with the filibuster in order to get through a national ban on abortion. your reaction to that? >> this is the problem. they are talking about introducing a ban or one proposal that was only six weeks, essentially a ban. they are talking about a ban in the oval course shown the ability to do this, before when they ran through the supreme court justices, and change the filibuster for that. this again gets to my argument that this is about the ballot box. if in fact we can get to 52 democrats, or even more with the fantastic candidates that we have in the u.s. senate out there, including judge beasley in the state of north carolina she is an incredible candidates. including bell damning ten in florida. including our candidates that we are about to get through primaries and pennsylvania and wisconsin, two critical states. ohio, you marched through the country. . we have an ability with the america

. >> sandra: mitch mcconnell one of the many republicans outraged over the supreme court leak. it happened late last night. all of this after politico obtained and published a draft opinion written by justice alito showing the court is poised toover turn roe v. wade, referencing the agregious leak, his choice of words, justice roberts has ordered a full investigation into who is behind the leak. mike davis joins us, a former law clerk for justice gorsuch and his friend two decades, and worked on confirmations, and we welcome him now. mike, thank you for being here. obviously a place and people you know extremely well. are you confident that this person, the leaker, will be found? >> mike: yeah, this was a stunning, shameful leak. it's likely illegal, it's likely obstruction of justice. i think the chief justice takes the integrity, judicial independence of the supreme court very seriously. he correctly ordered the marshal of the supreme court to investigate this. this should not be politicized, they should not bring in congress, they should not bring in the executive branch, th

>> that's good evidence of the president's war with mitch mcconnell now. what mitch mcconnell wants is 51 at least senators, republican senators. he believes he can get them to vote for him for majority leader. obviously this is one race president trump's endorsement of dr. oz in pennsylvania got a lot of startled looks from some republicans. not sure how that will actually work out. the president messed up in alabama. it's a longer season than ohio. but in poll, most of the candidates are really trumpy. their platforms on based on the president's platforms. so if they do do well in these races, you will see a plan-out of what mercedes was referring to, which is this battle going on between president trump and mitch mcconnell. >> martha: fascinating. in pennsylvania, you have people that worked closely with president trump who are supporting mccormick and you have president trump backing oz. so you know, these are fascinating. i guarantee you nobody has any idea who is endorsing anybody but who trump is endorsing. other than that, they probably can't name

that's what the senate, is and mitch mcconnell thinks he can control that. he's only using it to stack the supreme court. stuart stevens, fenand amandi, thanks for joining us. >> brittney griner will remain in a russian prison cell for one more month. it's clear she's a pawn in putin's war. so how do we get her home. >> reporter: plus, why is it so hard for democrat to muster up the level of outrage that requires the fight for our democracy. best selling novelist is here don wiz low is here and he's here to talk about it and louisiana republicans are suddenly realizing the heavy flies they would pay politically if they charge women with murder for having an abortion. stay with us. with murder for having an abortion stay with us ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. here we go... remember, mom's a kayak denier, so please don't bring it up. bring what up, kayak? excuse me? do the research, todd. listen to me, kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to find you great deals on flights, cars and hotels. they're lying to you! who's they? kayak? ar

mitch mcconnell setting a national ban is actually on the table. the end of roe, after it becomes official. nearing a record that nobody wants to see, gas prices are on the verge of a troubling new threshold. all of that in the kentucky derby shocker that has some smart betters in the money today. that is coming up as well. we want to begin with that breaking new development on ukraine at this hour. a virtual meeting between president biden and other g7 leaders, with ukrainian president zelenskyy, meeting a short time ago. the g7 leaders released a statement reaffirming their commitment to ukraine against russian aggression, and they are offering more help to zelenskyy in their fight against moscow. part of that will be a series of new sanctions imposed on russia, that will include action against consulting services in russia, state control tv stations, and targeted sanctions which were also expanded to a close 2600 more russian officials, as well as banking executives. the u.s. is already announced to 150 billion dollar aid package, including arti

mitch mcconnell go -- mitch mcconnell sees that donald trump has been a more enduring politicafigure than he expected him to be. he said on the night of january 6, trump had finally discredited himself. he acknowledged to his colleagues months later that things had not turned out as he expected they would. for mitch mcconnell, the paramount political goal is retaking control of the senate in 2022. he has decided, and it is really the symbol, to subordinate his genuine moral outrage about the way trump behaved around january 6, to the short-term political imperative to not have conflict in the party. judy: the two of you, if not just republicans, you have a lot of fresh reporting about president biden during the election and the year and a half since. the ups and downs of his first year, including what turned out to be someone who ran as a centrist when he ran for president, but then appeared to be catering to the progressives in the democratic party for the longest time. how did that happen? how much debate was there inside the biden circle? >> i think joe biden his inner circle, aft

mitch mcconnell said that it would not pass. republicans would not support ukraine aid if it included aid for americans for therapeutics and vaccines and additional testing, which we know we're going to need in the coming months as we move into the fall. so i think the president, you know, had to deal with reality, which is that mitch mcconnell was not going to go along with this. it's very important that we move forward on this ukraine aid. it's $40 billion, it is very much needed. i think we've got bipartisan support for that. i'd like to add that i think it is crucial that we also include in the ukrainian aid support for afghan refugees who are languishing waiting on -- waiting in lines to get a path to being able to work and being able to be here with legal -- legally. it is unconscionable that we are not addressing that need as well. so yes, let's get ukraine aid passed and done as soon as possible, and then it's urgently important that we move forward on the covid aid, which is also absolutely essential. >> yeah, important

course mitch mcconnell is not telling anybody what they would do. we're leaving to it senator scott and his colleagues to do that. although i will say, jason, as we heard, mitch mcconnell did leave very much open the prospect that they would have a national ban on abortion if they were in charge. >> right. so, the other bad guy that i see in inflation is the businesses, who are charging. they're not forced to charge. they charge what they want to charge. i want to play this audio we have from the show last week -- a bunch of ceos talking about how this price gouging worked for them and get your thoughts on that, too. the team has done a marvelous job driving price. >> our sales gains were largely driven by higher average sales price. average sales price trends reflect successful strategies. >> consumers get used to it. when all prices go up, it helps. >> we're not leaving any pricing on the table. we want to take as much as we can. >> they're just gouging people. they're not saying, hey, we have to do this to make up for losses. they're using to env

and we have seen it from mitch mcconnell who is ebeen very clear about this in our previously defeated president. this idea they need to take away women's right to choose. with a majority of this country when i know in my state, we have protected women's rights. so what is at stake here is electing candidates and individuals who are going to protect a woman's right to choose, and it shows that this election is so important. listen. i have an opponent who is running against me. i have no doubt, um, would take a woman -- away a woman's right to choose, would actually support mitch mcconnell's decision to pass some sort of federal legislation that would ban a woman's right to choose, and further restrict women's reproductive healthcare in this country. there is no doubt about it. so, elections matter. and at this juncture, we need to make sure we are electing candidates that respect women in this country. >> it is interesting, senator, about that noigds of senator mitch mcconnell, he did try to walk whack a little of that notion talking about a nationwide abortion ban, dhld make sense giv

i think that is mitch mcconnell wanting that to be the case. republicans know that overturning roe will be hugely unpopular, even among some republicans, and they are trying to mitigate and minimize the impact of that and also distance themselves from it. so i think mitch mcconnell knows that this issue cuts across every demographic, socioeconomic, racial demographics. so many people are impacted by not only roe, by what else would be next. he knows this is bad and so i think that's the messaging you're hearing to sort of minimize it away. >> thank you. >> thanks. >>> we just heard moments ago from a key democratic lawmaker on the baby formula shortage. now let's see what more the white house is going to do about it. a senior adviser to president biden joins us in a moment. five professional l benefits. one simple step. totally effortlessss. styling has never been easier. tresemme. do it with style.. when traders tell us how to make thinkorswim® even better, we listen. he wanted a reamlined version he could access anywre, no download necessary

the day after the decision, when they asked mitch mcconnell, are you glad that rowev. wade could be reversed. he talked about the polls. >> now, to mitch mcconnell, the other side, congress can vote to codify the roe, or outlaw abortion nationwide. nearly all of them support some sort of ban. does it have a vote, mcconnell said he will preserve the 60 vote filibuster. if that sustains itself, it is unlikely to have the votes, some strategists believe they will have a pact. given the protections of roe versus wade >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

it comes as the top republican in the senate, mitch mcconnell, indicates overturning roe could be just the beginning. that if republicans gain control of congress, they could pass a federal ban on abortion. mcconnell saying, "if the leaked opinion became the final opinion, legislative bodies, not only at the state level, but at the federal level certainly could legislate in that area," adding, "i don't think it's much secret where senate republicans stand on that issue." today we took that to the white house. how at-risk does the administration believe the u.s. is to completely outlawing abortion? >> i think we're at serious risk. you heard, you noted mitch mcconnell and other republicans in congress are talking about a national ban on a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: the white house warning republicans could go try to go even further, possibly banning some forms of contraception. if roe is overturned, 26 states would quickly move to severely restrict access to abortion or ban it outright. 13 have already passed so-called trigger laws, that would ban the procedure the moment roe

that 40 billion dollars figure that mitch mcconnell cite side false. they voted to it add 40 billion dollars more. just 10 weeks into a war they say will last not months but years. we got done spending 2 trillion dollars for a 20 year war in afghanistan that achieved nothing but the death of our soldiers only for the taliban to waltz back in. what you are talking about is not spending billion dollars to help the ukraine people. this money is going to lockheed martin and the cia to do what? nobody knows. rand paul wanted to slow down the bill for oversight. you have huge amounts of money flying out the door. nobody can articulate a strategy for when we are doing and benefits for the american people. >> laura: lost 80 billion dollars worth of equipment in afghanistan. tonight mitch mcconnell went after rand paul. they will never debate. i want to see rand paul and mcconnell debate. they are both really smart. debate the numbers and the issues to town halls across kentucky and see which person comes out on top. who do you think would come out on top with

mitch mcconnell, who at the age of 80 has adopted political views that are strikingly similar to joe biden's, announced that he stands with chuck schumer against you. i am hopeful, mitch mcconnell said, that we can come up with a bipartisan solution that's directly related to the facts of this awful massacre. directly related to the facts. that sounds sensible. but since we are passing new federal laws, it is worth asking, what are the facts here? yesterday, texas governor greg abbott appeared at a press event to relay the main facts, which is that law enforcement on the scene did all they could to save those children. that's the first thing to know. watch. >> the reason it was not worse is because law enforcement officials did what they do. they showed amazing courage by running toward gunfire for the singular purpose of trying to save lives. >> tucker: law enforcement showed amazing courage by running towards gunfire for the secular purpose of trying to save lives." we heard that and we wanted to believe it. most of the time we admire law enforcement. taken off a lot of abuse to do

i actually think that mitch mcconnell, by him not being more definitive and coming out and saying, yes, we're prepared to move on the bills that the house has already passed, that he's hoping that time will just pass and nothing will get done. >> so you think this is a stall tactic? >> absolutely, a stall tactic. that's why i'm not confident. and we need more than words for mitch mcconnell, we need for him to say it's far past time that we pass a bill that 90% of the public supports. otherwise, what's you're doing is endorsing basically the idea that terrorists, that criminals, that sociopaths can walk into a gun store, walk into a gun show and buy a weapon and you're going to do absolutely nothing about it. it's crazy. and the fact that these people want gavels next year is absolutely scary, because we can see that when it comes to protecting the american public that they would rather allow for criminals to still be able to get guns, and we absolutely have to get something done this time and i'm absolutely worried that mitch mcconnell is doing nothing but asking for a stall tactic. >>

mitch mcconnell is in ukraine. he is leading a delegation of gop members to meet with ukrainian leaders. the meeting is a powerful signal of party support in the u.s. >>> a great day for dub nation. and electric win last night. the warriors meeting the grizzlies. they are now headed to the western conference. we have seen a lot of magical moments, but last night was intense. we have a sample of all the excitement. >> reporter: the fans are over the top. >> this is a beautiful victory. it is a beautiful display of basketball and a beautiful win for the bay area. >> in the end, the warriors have made it happen. they will play dollars or the sons. >> we are in the house, bay area. >> despite the blowout loss, warrior fans were confident their team would win. >> the warriors are here. >> even with all the enthusiasm, so many turnovers but that didn't matter. they are moving on. we want to take them out. >> today in the bay. >>> switching gears now, a key piece of evidence found in the search for alexis. they found this

what mitch mcconnell is saying it underscores what i've already been saying to nevada ends, that don't -- complacency. we do in fact have here the right to an abortion between two and four weeks of pregnancy, a statute -- 1990. that does not mean whoever that in a state that are publican legislator for example couldn't come in and work around that particular statute to stay within it, at the same time put restrictions on abortions. so, understanding that there are people who have been working on this for decades it's important for us not to be naive and think that they certainly wouldn't start work on because they have -- >> so, let's talk a bit more about that because you brought it up there is this major push, democratic governor if in fact that were to happen there could be restrictions placed upon access to abortion services in the state of nevada despite the fact that you have essentially codified the real protections. how could you further protect them if in fact this happens? >> well, first things first, when needs to happen as we take sure people understand the importance of th

because mitch mcconnell said it. and you know, jake, i think democrats have learned our lesson, and frankly, other people who have said that democrats are kind of hair on fire for this issue of thinking that roe v. wade is going to be overturned. guess what? it's about to be overturned. so i think that we should absolutely be expecting if the republicans take over the senate for this to be absolutely an option that is very real, that is not something that democrats are making up to try to make people scared or nervous. no, it came out of mitch mcconnell's mouth. and you also see so many of these candidates, the ones we're talking about today in pennsylvania, they are talking about an outright ban on abortion, again, in order to gather the support of the right wing in the republican party. but i also think that they believe it. they were in a debate, the ones in pennsylvania for governor, they were in a debate recently and they all tried to out-right wing each other, saying how much they would absolutely ban and crimi

she even talked today about mitch mcconnell and her thoughts on the senate minority leader. listen to this. >> i think mitch mcconnell has served his time of usefulness, and i think it's time to turn the page when i am in the senate and if i have the opportunity to make that vote on our leadership, my vote would be no to mitch mcconnell. >> reporter: she also wouldn't commit, alisyn, to backing whoever the gop nominee is if that is not her. again, pennsylvania absolutely critical in the senate. it could very well determine who holds the power in the senate after these midterms, so this is a very key race to watch, and also how will former president trump's endorsement play out here as well. all things people are keeping an eye on as we head into tomorrow. >> all fascinating. jessica dean, thank you. >>> so a major symbol of western culture now leaving russia. mcdonald's is closing shop in that country. this is a move that will cost more than a billion dollars. we explain, next. ful, easy-to-use tools, and interactive charts to give you an edge. 24/7 support when you neneed i

the group led by senate minority leader mitch mcconnell met with president zelenskyy. no word on when the meeting took place or if the delegation is still in ukraine. and the visit comes as ukrainian forces continue their counter offensive in northeastern ukraine around the region of kharkiv. during the russian pullback there are three bridges that were damage and you could clearly see the sections of bridge, the bridges rather that were taken out. cnn congressional reporter daniela diaz is live on capitol hill. so daniela, this visit coincides with president biden's push to get his aid package through congress. but senator rand paul delayed until next week, right? any kind of approval of that additional $40 billion to ukraine. so what is going on? >> fred, senator rand paul, that kentucky republican very conservative, basically blocked that vote in the senate, a fast track process that both senators mitch mcconnell and senate majority leader chuck schumer were hoping that the bill would help ukraine, a measure that would create a inspector general to oversee how the u

these are people that aren't going to kowtow to, like, mitch mcconnell and his turtle ass. and that's what the american people need right now-- someone to just blow shit up. i just want someone to do something, you know? i just wants democrats to quit being nut sacks, essentially. - you realize that the democrats move pretty slowly. - i know. - i mean, chuck schumer went to the bathroom last tuesday, and he still hasn't come out. someone should go check on him. [mellow music] - i first met ruth bader ginsburg on the telephone 48 years ago. and we soon became personal friends. she loved to laugh. there was a play in washington about a supreme court case that involved pornography and they were doing previews of it. and in the play, there's a scene near the end where the principal character, who's a lawyer, comes out, and he's stark naked. and i'm sitting in the front row, and you can imagine what i'm looking at. pff, like this. and so--and she was due to do one of these previews. so i said to her, "ruth, let me just warn you." and so she started to laugh and she said, "well,

click senate majority leader chuck schumer followed by minority leader mitch mcconnell spoke on the senate floor about the draft supreme court decision overturning roe v wade. senator schumer called it dark and disturbing. and said he plans to hold a vote in the senate on legislation to codify the right to an abortion. senator mcconnell called the leak of the court's decision in a lawless action which should be investigated and punished to the fullest extent possible. he also : chief justice roberts to look into the leak. and if a crime was committed for the justice department to pursue it completely. >> for years, the radical left has attacked the institution of the supreme court. last night it appears their campaign hit a new low. historically the justices, clerks, and staff have prized and protected the court confidentiality. the justices must be able to discuss and deliberate in an environment of total trust and privacy. americans cannot receive a fair trial if politicians, pendants, bullies and mobs get a say in court. judicial independence is vital. but the far left has spent years s
