, this is between rick scott and mitch mcconnell over a comment that mcconnell made about the qualityle like j.d. vance and the fact that they are having to put all this money into the races. rick scott said in an op-ed today in the washington examiner, many of the very people responsible for losing the senate last cycle are now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash talking our republican candidates. ultimately it is treasonous to the conservative cause. he's telling mitch mcconnell to pipe down without naming him. >> i mean, the subtly is not subtle at all. this is a feud that's been playing out over months. you have different strat jis how they should go about trying to get back the republican majority in the senate. rick scott has stayed away from the party putting its thumb on the scales in the primary. you can't anger that maga wing of the republican party. mitch mcconnell is recognized as being the mastermind of republican strategy there, has had a series of wins understanding the mechanisms of the senate and pushing for a more traditional senate candida

we've heard mitch mcconnell basically acknowledge it earlier.en running these campaigns not exactly on the same page. >> real quick, if republicans flip the senate in the midterms, does this all go away? is this water under the bridge for these two? >> yeah. i would think so. a lot of folks think rick scott is looking at a possible presidential run and this would be something he could talk about that he has done and if mitch mcconnell is leader they just need to pick up that one, net that one seat to do it. i think, you know, if they don't do it, there's going to be a lot of blame cast rick scott's way. if they do he should be able to take some of the credit because he's taken a lot of arrows with this strategy. >> it is a treat to have you on the show. burguess, thank you, appreciate it. >>> if you're one of the millions of americans to get your student loan canceled, hang on a second, "the washington post" is reporting the republicans are drawing up plans to try to squash president biden's push to cancel some of this debt. they're reportedly w

mcconnell is number 11. dakota, told me just a few days ago he is also favorably inclined to support this vote so we could be look at a big vote in the senate to pass this bill which has headed for a mark up in the senate rules committee just later this afternoon. and it's expected to get a vote on the floor of the senate later this year. most likely in the lame duck session, although that hasn't been set yet. but mcconnell's support has been key. he encouraged these negotiations every day about election law, not about voting rights, which he wants nothing to do with at the federal level and they tailored this to win republicans over. it looks like they're well on track to get this done. mcconnell has been crucial as we have seen over the last year and a half at making sure legislation gets to 60 votes. when he is there, usually enough members of the republican caucus find their way there. if he's against something, then they struggle to find enough support to move forward. this is a very positive sign for p

center and the mcconnell scholars. at first glance, senator mcconnell and i have relatively little, or con -- or some could even say nothing in common. [laughter] for starters, he drinks bourbon, i drink wine. he is from the southeast and i am front -- from the great southwest he wears suits and ties, and i where dresses and these here sneakers. [laughter] and perhaps most obviously, we come from opposing political parties. despite our apparent differences, senator mcconnell and i have forged a friendship, one that is rooted in our commonalities, including our pragmatic approach to legislating, our respect for the senate as an institution, our love for our home states, and a dogged determination on behalf of our constituents. today, in washington, it might shock some that a democratic senator would consider the republican leader of the senate her friend. but back home in arizona, we don't view lives through a partisan lens. don't misunderstand that while we may not agree on every issue, we do share the same values. we

they want mcconnell overturn to them as a nationwide ban on abortion? i don't think so. now running away from what the real beliefs are. they're like the dog who caught the bus. for years they push to make this happen. unfortunately to the detriment of 100 million american women. it happened and now you don't know quite what to do. they're not backing off their horrible principles but they want to hide from it at the same time. now how unpopular it is. to show where the party is at, almost immediately after the court overturned row, mike pence abortion is illegal everywhere. that means a nationwide ban does not leave it up to the states.

but i do understand why senate minority leader mitch mcconnell invited her to kentucky. one -- i don't know if he's trying to own the lives, but he certainly trolling the lives. but also to call her the most effective first-time senator, it's not damning with faint praise, but of course you thinks she's the most effective first term senator, she blocked a lot of the stuff that he couldn't do as minority leader, by insisting that the filibuster not be reformed so let's say voting rights could happen, voting rights reform could happen, that other bills could be passed, codifying roe, standing in the way of the agenda the democrat president. >> i get why mitch mcconnell is weighing into this. but why would kyrsten sinema be, tim? >> i think she is the most inscrutable politician around for me right now. the best answer i have to that is that she thinks she's kind of doing this john mccain maverick invitation in reverse. but there's a lot of the ways that that's not working, number one donald john mccain had some very clear issues here is different in the party, and he was s

so what mitch mcconnell needs lindsey graham to stop doing is talking about abortion.cific slice of the issue that republicans win on, which is when you talk about late term abortion and republicans are losing because the entire debate is now about the fact that women have lost a right that they had for 50 years because of a conservative court. >> it's interesting. sorry, go ahead. >> the timing also as a republican was frustrating because yesterday the terrible inflation numbers come out. that's what the republicans need to run on, ahead of the midterms. the economy is struggling, the inflation reduction act hasn't done enough to drive down costs but instead lindsey graham consumes the news cycle by going rogue against republican orthodox, which this is should be determined by states. mitch mcconnell is smart to not bring it up, that will cripple -- >> it's not a real bill. if you want to pass a bill you get mitch mcconnell on your side first, you don't surprise him with a press conference with the activist groups and special interest on the far right. >> the question

>> joy, the difference between mitch mcconnell and many other republicans is that mitch mcconnell, aside donald trump, is also not afraid of donald trump. he's one of the few republicans whose has actually stood up to trump on a number of occasions, not all, but certainly on a number of occasions. >> for like four seconds. >> the problem in the house is that a lot of these republicans operate in fear. they're constantly looking over their shoulder, hoping that donald trump will not show up in their districts to support a primary opponent. so it's very difficult to lead when you're afraid. i do think, joy, that once this bill gets out of the senate, if it comes back to the house, it should get more republican support. but without question, reforming the electoral count act to prevent the kind of disaster we had on the 6th of january of '21 should be a fairly easy issue to get to yes on. >> it should be. right, because do you want kamala harris to have the power to overturn the election? if you don't support this, you're saying that lady can do whatever she wants. anyway, let's move on. he

group, mcconnell aligned group, the senate leadership fund with all that money.e and some outside republican donors about who's going to spend the money to save these candidates. the nrsc led by rick scott, who has ambitions of potentially running for mcconnell's job or even president of the united states, says that it has been a bridge, providing about $45 million in spending to keep republicans afloat. but mcconnell has said poor candidate choice largely driven by the wins of former president trump is to blame for the place republicans are in now and he wants to see the people who supported those candidates, mainly rick scott, peter field, the billionaire investor, put some of the money forward particularly in arizona where the candidate there has been scrubbing his website of past positions including on abortion. mcconnell doesn't want to go and bail him out if he's not able to win. >> and victoria, the republicans have used some traditional issues. repeat that, traditional issues traditionally in campaigns. do you see that this time it's going to be different

is 100% right that mitch mcconnell should keep that to himself. >> really? >> yeah. yeah. it's not helpful. it's not helpful. >> let me ask you -- >> his job is to win back the senate majority. that's his job. >> but isn't his job also to sometimes give people a little nudge -- i mean, look -- >> privately. does he have a phone? >> i mean, we've got people out there who are just candidly raising so little money that the avalanche that they are facing is possibly insurmountable. so at some juncture isn't the job of republican party leaders to say, hey, get your act together? >> you have diagnosed a correct problem, i just disagree with the solution. >> you're saying it's tough love, you're saying tough love should be private? >> yea, i don't think it's helpful. he is not wrong, i agree completely with mitch mcconnell, the quality is terrible, i'm thinking of like herschel walker, for example, but your job is to win back the majority and you don't do that by picking fights with your own candidates in your own party. >> s.e. cupp, scott jennings, great to he su

it's all mitch mcconnell cares about he doesn't care about being early in the majority.be the leader of the senate and if he has america first center inside of that it becomes problematic form. therefore i will pull funding from 8 million worth from blake masters and other funding from other america first types because i'd much rather they lose then went back and cause for me and washington, d.c., even if it means i'm in the majority. >> tucker: i hope that patriotic americans can make up that deficit and get him to the american's and i hope. ned ryan think of so much for that analysis. >> thinks tucker. >> tucker: he said every single day that his political opponents aren't really opponents their enemies of the state that's what is rounding up republicans all of the country. after the pillow guy, the fbi raided the pillow guy and a fast food drive through. so now we have new reports from the posts we know a lot more about the fbi, according to the post count over the last 19 months, facebook has spied on americans in private key medications to the fbi's domestic counter

mitch mcconnell and his republican colleagues. let's take that again. mitch mcconnell and his republican colleagues have made it clear that they want to make abortion click -- abortion illegal across our country they want to take away your decision to decide what is best for your family because they think that they know better than neo. in pennsylvania, -- if pennsylvania sends men it awes to the -- men it awes to the -- dr. oz, -- we know from his history of peddling fake covid hills and fake diet treatment that he will do anything for his own personal success. right now, across our country in states where abortion is illegal, doctors and pregnant people are faced with an impossible decision, one example is the next topic pregnancy, this is when an embryo implants outside of the womb. the embryo cannot survive, it can cause massive bleeding that will lead to the death of the pregnant person. doctors in states that be on abortion except for when the rights of the mother is in danger are now faced with the decision to proceed promptly with the establishe

mitch mcconnell. look at what mitch mcconnell is doing right now, because last time i checked, donald trump has been going after him day in a day out. what is mcconnell thinking of doing right now? >> i think mitch mcconnell is concerned as he has enunciated two big thoughts. one, he said many, many months ago that the only group that could screw up republicans taking control of washington was republicans. and michael and i can probably both tell you, republicans are doing a pretty good job of exactly screwing that up. donald trump has inserted himself into this election and as michael just talked about the dobbs decision that that leak in may fundamentally changed the shape of the election. you've also heard mcconnell talk about the quality of his candidates, or should i say the lack thereof. number of top tier senate races, places like arizona that should be really at the center of the strategy for control of the united states senate are slipping away from republicans. it's no longer considered a to

. >> mitch mcconnell is the kentuckian in the senate.has been his attitude toward eastern kentucky's problems? >> starting in 2008 when barack obama ran for president and the red wave just took over eastern kentucky, mitch mcconnell, ever the political chessmaster, say what you want about the man but this guy knows politics and plays the political game extremely well. to me, he realized he is going to get votes in eastern kentucky regardless of how many times he goes there or how often he advocates for -- on issues of importance to the region. to me, the story of mitch mcconnell in eastern kentucky is one largely of not really spending too much time there or caring very much about the issue. still reaping the benefits on election day. it is a very interesting phenomenon. >> would you say the same thing about rand paul? >> yes. coming up in november, we have a very interesting senate election . in kentucky, rand paul is going up against a louisville former state has member called charles booker whose campaign motto was from the hood to th
