mcconnell lied. he asked a question, mcconnell lied. i don't know how mcconnell became in charge. wish they never agreed to make him in charge. as for mccain, i think he should retire. he has done nothing for the v.a. nor for the vets. he is collecting his paycheck and going on with business as usual. the problem of congress and business as usual, is these people are obligated to the people from their party. people put them in office. deep left to understand that is why i support trump for the next election. he is so funded, i believe he will bring it jobs. i also believe he will fix the v.a. system and he will protect our borders. people talk about immigration. it is illegal immigration people are so concerned about. people take jobs for less than the minimum salaries. we are educating their kids. we are taking care of them medically. we really need to get a handle on this, people. as for the democratic party i believe you should study your history. you have a very racist history. you need to study at and realize where you are coming from. more government involved in your life. i

crews went to the floor and looked mcconnell in the eye, and mcconnell said very clearly i did not cut a deal with that bank, he only promised that members could offer this as an amendment. but what we saw on friday was that mcconnell took steps to bring the bank measures directly to the floor, assuming he could surpass the vote on sunday. crews -- cruz said that this was backtracking, calling it a lie. clearly he believes that this is an issue that plays well for him and his presidential campaign. ted cruz is running his campaign as the man who is battling leadership. >> what was mitch mcconnell's response to the accusations? reporter: it was a big smile. we sought in the hallway and afterwards, he smiled and walked away. we tried to reach out to his office, but his aid did not want to comment on the record. they are trying to avoid the controversy, they believe that if they engage with ted cruz, it will elevate him the way that he wants, so their strategy is not to give attention and ignore controversy. >> the senate is coming back for a rare sunday afternoon session and these two am

and mitch mcconnell. it's about ted cruz and donald trump. he entered the race as the renegade hero the man who would call out his party's leadership. serious money early on but it never really took off. then along comes donald trump. he did it while attacking his fellow republicans with abandon. when trump was attacked cruz refused to criticize trump. he said it is because thou shall not speak ill of any fellow republican. scripture teaches that if someone visits evil upon you, you should repay them in kindness end quote. that's from first peter, chapter 3. ted cruz called mitch mcconnell a liar. it may have shown cruz to be an obvious hypocrite, but for one day he trumped trump and that means mission accomplished. >> a lot of people glaze over when you talk about the nuance and the mechanism of passing bills and amendments all kinds of things on capitol hill. but what cruz and trump have tapped into is palpable. it's visceral. this anger about washington. >> it is indeed and it is echoed reflected, in t

mitch mcconnell had a primary.as trying to protect democrats in red states. >> joe mccarthy and ted cruz -- >> the majority leader can ruin your life if you're actually trying to accomplish anything in the senate, but ted cruz isn't trying to accomplish anything. he's not going to come down the legislative road, you know, needing help from mitch mcconnell at this point. we've got to wrap it there or sam stein and i can stay late. we're going to talk about the senate in very polite terms. sam stein, jonathan alter and kasie hunt, thank you for joining us. >>> sandra bland's mother and sister will join us to talk about new developments in the case. se and you can move the world. but to get from the old way to the new you'll need the right it infrastructure. from a partner who knows how to make your enterprise more agile, borderless and secure. hp helps business move on all the possibilities of today. and stay ready for everything that is still to come. you know i tried one of those bargain paper towels. but the roll

to mcconnell -- from mcconnell to cruz. he didn't call out cruz by name but he said there was no special deal, this had been discussed all along. we tried to ask him a question in the halls on friday after cruz accused him of lying and mcconnell just smiled at us and walked away. so mcconnell does not address the press until tuesday. he will certainly be asked then. i think what you'll hear him say is probably something similar to what he said yesterday something that we said all along there's not anything that i back tracked on he'll say, but it's a complicated procedural dispute. and it's a dispute that happened behind closed doors so there is no transcript of the remarks of what mcconnell promised cruz and the rest of the republican conference. so it may end up just being a game of he said/she said. >> and we've been talking about majority leader mitch mcconnell, but in the leadership of the republican ranks in the senate iincludes senator john cornyn, senator cruz's colleague from texas. who's seen as the voice of conse

mcconnell's office and other senators say look, all along there's been no secret, mcconnell said they the export, import bank would webedded would be added to the highway bill. that's the nature of the dispute. cruz yesterday was very angry, coming off the floor lashed out at the senate majority leader for telling lies and for not being truthful and for essentially colluding with democrats to pass a big government agenda. cruz wanted a role call vote on a separate amendment to the highway bill, but given the way that he had handled himself runs essentially did not allow him to have a vote because a there were not enough senators who seconded his motion to have a role call vote. shot was disexpensed with by voice vote. i it was a remarkable scene on the floor crowd and the haylages theyline from politico on the story you contributed to senate smackdown ted cruz, mike lee effort commonwealth etch witness leader, the rift between mitch mcconnell and ted cruz widens. the talked about ted crazy's version of these events being disputedded by mcconnell's office but has the majority leader di

mcconnell: now mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the senate receives the papers for h.r. 3236, that at 1:45 on thursday, june 30 the senate proceed -- july 30 the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of h.r. 3236, that the bill be read three times and the senate vote on the passage of the bill with no intervening action or debate, and that there be a 60-vote -- 60-affirmative vote threshold for the passage of the bill, and that following passage of the bill the motion to reconsider be made and laid upon the table. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: so, mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today it adjourn until 10:00 a.m. thursday july 30. following the prayer and pledge, the morning business be deemed expired, the journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day. following leader remarks the senate resume consideration of h.r. 22 postcloture. further,

and mcconnell appears to have cleared a path forward to do just that. so cruz here really calling out mcconnell directly, saying point-blank, he lied. >> to this institution, the senate operates based on trust. whether we are democrats or republicans, these 100 senators have to be able to trust that when a senator says something he or she will do it, even if we disagree on substance, that we don't lie to each other. >> it's rare to see this sort of personal attack in the senate. especially among members of the same party. and it may have even violated a senate decorum rule. now mcconnell so far has been potentially we could hear from him for the first time. now ted cruz is, of course, running for president. he is already raising money saying in a fund-raising e-mail, quote, we've been betrayed by the senate majority leader and asking for campaign donations. >> sunlen serfaty, we appreciate it. >>> new jersey governor chris christie on the campaign trail this morning. he's heading to new hampshire. the candidate known for telling it like it, is that slog

this isn't about cruz and mcconnell. this is about cruz and trump.mp has blown past cruz as the candidate of the alienated right. trump has blown past everybody. and he has left cruz. he has sucked up all the air in the room as far as cruz is concerned. cruz was only too happy to get up on the senate floor and attack mcconnell who is hated by the hard right and try to gain a little ground there that's my view of it. i think it's more about presidential politics than anything else. << interesting. cruz is trying to get his constituency back. >> right. >> he became a real hero to the disaffected right because remember the shutting down of the government and that whole fight. >> obamacare. >> obamacare and the rest of it that really volted cruz and cruz is a smarted guy. is he a very add voyeur -- advocate and good speaker his campaign kind of faded. along comes the trump express and blows by not only him but everybody else. >> he got hurt the worst. >> he and rand paul were the worst hurt. absolutely. >> brit hume, everybody. here are the results of ou

here's a look at the debate started with senators mitch mcconnell and harry reid. it is about an hour. highway bill and we're close to finally passing a fiscally responsible and bipartisan one. time is running short to get a bill through congress, but as with most legislation we still intend to consider some amendments from both sides of the aisle as we continue to work to pass it. wreel start on that -- we'll start on that today. most important is a proposal that would repeal obamacare and allow our country to start over fresh with a real health reform proposal. there's no question that i'll be voting for it. there's no question that every senator should join me in doing so. this is a law filled with higher costs, fewer choices and broken promises. this is a law that's failed repeatedly and that continues to hammer hardworking middle-class families. the vote we'll take this afternoon represents a stark choice for every senator. protect a president who likes a law with his name on it or stand with the middle class by finally opening the way to truly affordable care

mcconnell appears to have cleared the path for it. here's a moment of anger that cruz had directed at mitch mcconnell on the senate floor. >> it was a direct question. i asked the majority leader in front of all of the republican senators, the majority leader was visibly angry with me. that i would ask such a question. and the majority leader said there is no deal. there is no deal. there is no deal. like st. peter, he repeated it three times. i cannot believe he would tell a flatout lie. >> it's very rare to see this sort of personal attack in the senate. and may have violated some senate decorum rules. mcconnell, we have not hear from him yet. he's been silent on this issue. we could hear from him today for the first time. ted cruz is running for president. and he's raising money off of this. a fund-raising e-mail, saying, quote, we have been betrayed by the majority leader. >> he got a big donation to the p.a.c., $15 million. we'll talk about that later. >>> like pretty much all of the republican candidates, ted cruz has languished

he's punching mcconnell in the nose for a reason. the theory is that plays well with exactly the voters he's trying to talk to. >> he's calling him a liar. i never -- i'm sorry, i have never seen a guy call a senator, senate lead a liar. you don't say sorry, let's be buddies and have lunch. it's over there. >> mcconnell is going to have a long memory. again, shut him down on sunday and he'll continue to do that if he sees. >> richard, back to your point this is another way to beat donald trump. it's on tv. maybe the battle is on the tube and he's getting on the tube, using the senate, you know, to get him on television, which is to get him back public so when cruz sees donald trump flaming out, he steps into his place. >> this is inside baseball. we care about it within the beltway. outside the beltway, people don't care. >> don't use phrases like inside the beltway here because you won't be inside the show again. this is one of my favorites, respond to this, there is something unsalingly about cruz following trump around like a lost

senator mcconnell: good afternoon, everyone. obviously the big news of the day is the proposed agreement with the iranians. i've asked chairman corker and chairman mccain to join us today to give you their take on what this agreement appears to involve. senator corker: thank you. today at about 10:05, we received 159 pages of a portion of the agreement. there are other portions that are yet to come. we still have the classified annexes, we have the certifications from the director of national intelligence and secretary of state. so we expect to receive those materials over the next several days and at that point in time the 60-day review process will begin. i have to say that when we passed over with the interim agreement from dismantling their program, to moving towards agreeing that there would be enrichment, then over time moving to what i would call managed proliferation, we really crossed the rubicon and i think numbers of people have been looking at the qualitative issues what have remains. the issues of previous military

mitch mcconnell a hitchhiker in the car. he warned hillary clinton that playing the gender card won't be enough for her. >> i don't think arguing vote for me because i'm a woman is enough. you may recall my election last year. the gender card alone is not enough. i beat my opponent with women in my race because the gender card alone is not enough. i'm sure there are millions of americans who would love to have a woman for president, but the question is a woman president to do what. >> clinton responded during a facebook chat. mitch mcconnell really doesn't get it. there's a gender card being played in this pain. it's played every time republicans vote against giving women equal pay, deny families access to affordable child care or family leave, refuse to let women make decisions about their health. this isn't the first time mcconnell made a controversial comment about gender. two years ago he had this to say about hillary clinton and joe biden. >> don't tell me democrats are the party of the future when their presidential ti

the rift between mcconnell and ted cruz widens.puted by mitch mcconnell's office, but it has he been directly responded to in kind? guest: it yesterday, when mcconnell spoke, there was a subtle reference to ted cruz. he did not call ted cruz out by name, but he said there was no special deal that has been discussed all along. we tried to ask them a question in the halls on friday after ted cruz accused him of lying, and mitch mcconnell just smiled and walked away. he does not address the press until tuesday. he will certainly be asked then. probably similar to what he said yesterday. certainly, he will probably say there's nothing i backtracked on. it is a complicated procedural dispute. it happened behind closed doors so there is no transcript of the remarks of what mcconnell promised ted cruz and the rest. it may end up just being a game of he said, she said. host: in the leadership of the republican ranks, it includes senator john cornyn, ted cruz's colleague from texas. who was seen on the voice of conservatives in the group of

mcconnell: now mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that when the senate completes its business today it adjourn until 10:00 a.m. friday, july 31, for a pro forma session only with no business being conducted. further, that following the pro forma session the senate adjourn until 2:00 p.m. monday, august 3. following the prayer and pledge, the morning business be deemed expired, the journal of proceedings be approved to date and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day. following leader remarks the senate resume consideration of the motion to proceed to s. 1881. finally, notwithstanding rule 22 the cloture vote with respect to the motion to proceed to s. 1881 occur at 5:30 p.m. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: so if there's no further business to come before the senate, i ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. the presiding officer: the senate stands adjourned until joined 15 republicans in voting against the measure. south carolina

ted cruz went to the floor and he gave mcconnell the eye. mcconnell said very clearly, i did not cut any sort of deal on the xm bank. he said the only promise was the members could bring it as an amendment. but mcconnell took the procedural steps to bring the xm bank measured directly to the floor assuming he can pass the 60 votes on sunday. ted cruz says that was backtracking, calling it a lie repeatedly using the l word, and he believes that this is an issue that plays well for him and his presidential campaign. remember, he is running as the guy battling the party leadership, and this is an issue where he perfectly illustrates that. >> what was mcconnell's reaction? mr. raju: it was a big smile actually. my colleague saw him shortly afterward. he asked for a comment and he smiled and walked away. we reached out to his office. clearly, they are trying to avoid the controversy. they believe if they engage with ted cruz, they will elevate him in a way that he wants. i think their strategy is just to not pay attention, to envoy -- to ignore t

that could be a problem according to senate majority leader mitch mcconnel. >> we already know that it's going to leave iran as a threshold nuclear state. we know that. it appears as if the administration's approach to this was to reach whatever agreement the iranians were willing to enter into. so, i think it's going to be a very hard sell, if it's completed, in congress. >> sreenivasan: israeli prime minister netanyahu is going a step further, denouncing any deal with iran. >> ( translated ): this agreement is putting at risk the peace of the world. iran doesn't hide its intention to continue its murderous aggression, even against those who they are in negotiations with. maybe there is someone among the powers who is willing to give way to the reality dictated by iran, which includes the relentless calls for the destruction of israel. we will not accept it. >> sreenivasan: bloomberg news reporter indira lakshmanan joins us now from vienna where she's been covering the talks for weeks. we've got to stop meeting like this. ask you almost the same question. how close are we to a deal and

i agree with senator mcconnell. what we don't want to do is send a signal to the region that we are accepting the notion that eventually iran would be acquiring nuclear weapons. there are other ways that we can improve relations with iran, confidence building gestures with the soviet union over many years, you don't have to have this deal in order to move forward with them. they seem pretty optimistic this morning from europe so we'll see what they bring to the table. >> as we said you're highly decorated vietnam veteran, former secretary of the navy, former senator involved in military and foreign affairs. this year the obama administration announced they're cutting the army back 40,000 outside of the sequestered cuts. your reaction to that? >> we go through these cycles whenever we have extended ground commitments. we've done it three or four times in my adult life. i have great deal of confidence particularly in joe dunford. i've known him for many, many years. i don't think military leadership would back anythin

is senate majority leader mcconnell who warned against accepting a weak deal. welcome back, senator. >> what does an acceptable iran deal look like? >> look, we already know it is going to leave iran as a threshold nuclear state. we know that. it appears the administration's approach to this was to reach whatever agreement the iranians are willing to enter into. it will be a very hard sell if it is completed in conditioning. the other option i remind people. rather than spending multiple years to get one of the worst regimes in the world to agree to limit their nuclear capability, we could ratchet up the sanctions further because that is what brought them to the table much the administration decided to go down this path and we are going to be interested in things like, will the iranians reveal their past research and develop in the? what have they done on the past in this subject? it is verifiable? will we enable to look at all of their military bases? by the way even if you are satisifieded on all of that, there is all the other collateral activities what they
