mr. mcconnell: more than fiv th october 7, israelis are overwhelmingly united behind their government's unity war cabinet in support of ongoing military operations against some prominent american democrats are increasingly vocal in their isr government and israeli voters are wrong. that is, after all, what we're talking about here. as much as some of our colleagues might like tms- to be, democrats' egregious and hypocritical attempts to influence israeli domestic politics aren't some simple or narrow critique of a particular prime minister. they're an affront to the very independence of the state of is israel, a sovereign nation, a robustcracy, and one of america's closest allies and colony, not a vassal state, not some appendage of our own domestic politics. as i said last week, our democratic colleagues don't have an anti-bibilem. they have an anti-israel problem. what else are we supposed to make of the way democrats have fallen in line hyped the position -- behind the position the dem

mr. mcconnell: yesterday, president biden released his budget request for the next fiscal year.ere's the top line -- he wants the american people to take on more than $16 trillion in■' cumat deficits over the next decade. the president, who told the nation last week, that he was cutting the out a budget request that would do the exact opposite. unfort unfortunately, this is hard i had the only -- this is hardly the only pledge that president biden's request would break. after repeatedly to raise taxes on households making less than $400,000 a year, the president is now selling a plan that would heap $5 trillion in new and expanded taxes on american workers and job creators. let'sperspective. the biden administration's budget proposal would raise taxes as a share of the u.s. economy to levels our nation hasn't seen since world war ii. let me say that again. president biden wants to bring taxes as a share of gdp higher than they've the fight against i germany and imperial japan. now, i've in my assessment that the threats america is facing today are as dangerous as we've seen sinc

mr. riggleman: i think it does. at mitch mcconnell, it is no different then he went to mar-a-lago after blaming trump for january 6. we see individuals coming home. a lot of that has to do with lee's politics. i will do what has to be done. it is unbelievable. what did trump get, about 70 5% of the vote? a lot of individual said they would not vote for trump. most people do come home. i remember in a convention in a church, everyone saying denver, we will never vote for this guy, he is awful but they did. laura: barrett, denver said republicans will come home but nikki haley voters that if trump is convicted of a crime that he is unfit to be president. as a lifelong republican, to y think the former president is unfit for office? mr. marson: it will be up to voters to decide if trump is unfit but he is certainly wrong. he is wrong for this time. there is no doubt nikki haley would trounce joe biden, certainly in arizona. it would not be competitive. but because donald trump and his many faults will be presented to u

the leader of the republicans in the senate, mitch mcconnell, he called this mr schumer�*s speech grotesque interference in the internal affairs of a democratic ally. and that was a sentiment we heard repeated by many others, including, of course, the israelis themselves. the uk government has released a new definition of extremism, which ministers say is to stop the promotion of hatred, violence and intolerance. the new terminology will be used to assess whether groups are eligible, to receive public funding or support. critics though, argue that freedom of speech could be affected. here�*s damian grammaticas. they chant. conflict in the middle east driving polarisation here. the government says it�*s not seeking to stop protests or curb free speech, but it needs to deal with groups whose actions, while lawful, are a threat to democracy. so this isn�*t a new law. but michael gove will have the power to label groups extremist, cut them off from contact with government or any funding. our definition will not affect gender critical campaigners, those with conservative religious beliefs, trans

david bossie, mr. trump made up with mitch mcconnell. i call that party unity.ny but it is not unimportant. mitch mcconnell is a gentleman. he has been around the block a little bit and i want to add one more thing, i don't know whether he is involved to these debates but trump challenged biden to debates. do you think biden will debate him? biden doesn't even show up. he didn't show up at the super bowl, or didn't show up any place but palestine, ohio, what do you think? that is part of party unit. >> jobe doesn't know where he is day-to-day so i don't believe he can. i don't believe the democratic leadership leadership and white house will allow him to debate. donald trump will crush him in a debate. american people have seen cognitive decline over the past 3 1/2 years in the white house. donald trump will just mangle him. i don't think they will put him on a stage. they can't. that is the problem, he will not be able to answer the concerns of the american people who you see through the polling. they all believe that he's too old for the job. so that is going

has not yet so far, especially if mr. continues to oppose it? sen. thune: i think that the challenge, of course, right now, with the situation deteriorating there, is to try and feel a sense of urgency about this. i'm hoping the house can execute on getting something passed, ideally the senate bill, but if not something that they could send to the senate that we could then act on. i'm hoping that there is enough of a consensus. and, a majority of republicans in the house who believe that we need to defend america's interests, we need to stand with our allies, that this does represent a national security threat for our country. america can not retreat from the world stage. american leadership is desperately needed now more than more than i think any time in recent history. and we need to make sure that ukraine has the weaponry and the resources that it needs to defeat the russians, because if we're not sending them american weapons and they succeed in ukraine and they go into a role into a nato country, then we're going to

so i stand before you today, mr.to say this'll be my last term as republican leader of the senate. it's time for the next generation of leadership. paul: that was mitch mcconnell this week announcing that he will step down as republican leader after the november election. marking the end of his 17-year tenure at the top of the gop conference, the longest serving senate leader in american history. mcconnell will perhaps be best remembered for remaking the federal judiciary and the confirmation of 234 judges including 3 supreme court justices during the trump presidency alone. but the 82-year-old acknowledged on wednesday that the politics within his party have changed and that it is time for a new generation of leaders in the senate. we are back with our panel. so, kim, what do you think mitch mcconnell's legacy is as senate leader? >> well, he's going to have a lot of legacies, paul, but i think the ones hard going to be remembered are, most importantly, the efforts he got to get a majority starting in 2014 and to ke

>> i feel compelled to accepted that in what i feel like it's a base less attacks on mr.anji's character. i know they were initially routed -- rooted in his religious john. they have nothing to do with his competence, with his experience, with his qualifications to serve on the court i was honored to sit on for a number of years. and i just thought it's so outrageous that something had to be done and quite honestly it was an honor to have the opportunity to stand up on his behalf. when i have a sense that someone is being slandered and really torn down based on these kinds of untruths and bigotry and all of the horrible things that were said at the judiciary committee hearing and written about him afterward, there is no way i could stand by and allow that to happen. frankly, think think most americans feel the same wait a minute >> the attacks from republicans had an impact. this week catherine cortez masto came out against his nomination. she takes issue with his affiliation with a nonprofit organization called the alliance of families for justice. she states that this o
