kelly craft is someone who has been serving, as you mentioned, as the ambassador for the us in canadalved in these negotiations to try and set up a new trade agreement between the countries and mexico. and she is somebody who does have a bit of experience when it comes to the un as well. she was under president george w bush, a member of the delegation at the un general assembly for a time, and she is also in big backer of the republicans. her husband is a very successful businessman and they are big donors to the party and there has been increasing speculation that she would get this job because she had the support of mitch mcconnell, who is the republican leader in the senate, and also some of president trump's inner circle inside the administration. it is worth noting, of course, that the us has not actually had a representative as an ambassador to the un since the end of last year, when nikki healy quit. she was somebody who was very highly regarded. her quitting came as something of a surprise. and it has left a bit of a vacuum, whenever there is a period with a lot of foreign po

and who is kelly knight craft and what stands out to her in terms of the role she might take on based reporter: well aside from what you mentioned, kelly knight craft is the wife of billionaire joe craft who donated a million dollars to the donald trump inauguration. so as far as we know, this is the first time a political donor has been elevated to this position. or nominated for this position to be u.s. ambassador to the united nations but also true this role carries less significance than in past administrations. for one thing we know in a donald trump has made clear this disdain for multi-national organizations like the u.n. we also know that john bolton and the secretary of state have taken a more active role in articulating policy from the white house, less so from the u.n. and i think when the president initially nominated heather now ert, this is a signal in terms of the significance that he's assigning to this position because heather had little to know direct relevant experience for the position that she was formally nominated. so that is what people should know about kelly

do you expect kelly craft to follow more closely than nikki haley, the administration's positions on issues like climate change? >> so i think kelly craft is joigt be someone who plays a very -- going to be someone who plays a very important role in setting, in being the american face to the world, and the u.n. has played a top key role in also, you know, working on climate change. and so if a person who waffles on whether she believes in it, when 99% of the world scientists say that this is a big danger to the world, and we're already seeing billions of dollars of impacts and more storms, and heat waves, it's kind of interesting, i would note, that kelly craft's husband, is the top, is the owner and top person at a top, at a major kentucky coal producer. one of the biggest. he's a billionaire. and so obviously, she has a financial interest in kind of disputing the science of climate change. >> and could that financial interest be problematic for craft, especially given her husband's profession? >> absolutely it can. craft is kind of walking a thin line, as daniel mentioned, falling

his pick is kelly craft, the current ambassador to canada, a pois pushed by senate majority leader and fellow kentuckian mitch mcconnell. >>> also today the trump administration took actions to strip millions in federal funds from planned parenthood and other family planning groups setting the stage for a new legal battle over abortion. here's nbc's kristen welker. >> reporter: tonight the trump administration now barring taxpayer funds from clinics that provide abortions or refer patients for abortions. that means planned parenthood stands to lose $60 million a year in federal funding, and they're planning a legal challenge. >> we're talking about depriving people of basic health care services. pap smears, breast and cervical cancer screenings, sti tests, primary care. for so many of our patients, we're their only source of health care. >> reporter: but tonight anti-abortion advocates are praising the move, which would also prohibit family plannic clinics from being housed in the same location as abortion providers. >> really this is a very sensible proposal. it should be widely accep

you look at kelly craft, the nominee to be u.n.mbassador on the republican side is somebody who is a big donor, married to a coal billionaire who is expressing uncertainty and quib indication about the merits of climate science. that is -- that is the obstacle to action on this issue, not an experienced united states senator dianne feinstein who accurately was saying you cannot pass this green new deal. you can't pass the green new deal. when she says i know what i'm doing, she's right. she does know what she's doing. it's kind of a cheap trick to put kids out in front and challenge a grown-up to say why can't you support this good thing that we're for because you can't really argue back with them but dianne feinstein was right in this situation. the green new deal is an aspiration and doing something about climate change is a good thing, no question about that. but to skewer dianne feinstein for being realistic is kind of silly in my view. >> anne, i want to give you the last word on this. >> i think dianne feinstein is meeting th
