just like mitch mcconnell. do you remember what he said when asked if he wanted to get rid of kentucky's version of the affordable care act? >> i think that's unconnected to my comments about the overall question. >> he's trying to have it both ways. more than 413,000 kentucky residents have used the state exchange to gain coverage and that's why senators mcconnell and paul are twisting on this. and it's not just in kentucky that republicans are tying themselves into knots over the law. in indiana, governor mike pence still supports a repeal, but he wants money from the law to expand medicaid. in michigan, arkansas, new hampshire and north carolina, republican senate candidates won't say if they're against the medicaid expansion. and all over the country, the u.s. chamber of commerce is running ads saying their candidates will fix the aca, not a word about repeal. the law is working. millions of people have gotten covered and republicans don't want to be the bad guys who take that away. joining me now is congre

that's apparently mitch mcconnell's plan now. he unveiled this plan on friday and it very clearly is going nowhere. and that means that bridge is going nowhere. and so kentucky commuters and ohio commuters, they are stuck because of where senator mcconnell has gone ideologically, because of his newly discovered allergy to bringing federal dollars home for the people of his state and for projects that matter to them. in the mississippi senate race, where polls close tonight at 8:00 eastern, the mississippi senate race that the whole country is watching tonight, that is that story of that bridge times 100 million. except in this mississippi race, incumbent republican senator thad cochran is not running away from his history of bringing money home to his state. in fact, that has ended up being what thad cochran is running on to try to hold on to his senate seat now in what is turning out to be the race of his life. >> mississippi gets $1.5 billion in federal education funding. chris mcdaniel says he's end that because education is n

he had a cool relationship with mitch mcconnell because of sasse's support in nebraska. after sasse won his primary, he was on the phone with mitch mcconnell and he had lunch with senate republicans right before they left for their recess. another example of how he's locking down support and will have the support to become majority leader if he wins his re-election and republicans take the majority. >> for all this talk about how the tea party is dieing out in the senate primaries, the tea party is alive and well and living in texas, it turns out. in the texas run-off that happened this past week, the conservative candidate won by a wide margin for lieutenant governor taking out poor old david due hurs is it, the same guy that lost to ted cruz, the attorney general race, agriculture commissioner race all won to the point where some texas republicans are worrying that the demographics pose an inevitability. turning texas blue may be coming faster than they thought. these are candidates so conservative particularly on issues like immigration. >> interesting. it might help

mitch mcconnell beat his tea party challenger back home. it's got to hurt. he wanted to say, look, they're loud, but they can't beat you. >> they just took out the number two in the house. >> that's all true. there's a temptation to make too much out of this at this point i really think. i think forever, politics has been a combination of personality, idology and institutional power. it's always fluid. this just showed the fluidity. in two days you saw kantor mess up, and you saw the institutional power come back and take care of it because of the personality of mccarthy to save something. i think that's always going to be there in those ways. >> i think that's a great point, wanda, does this change the letterhead of the house of representatives or does it change america? when the leadership changes, if there was a big ideological shift, is this leadership, for example, more likely, less likely to do education reform, more likely, less likely to do immigration reform or to have a big drama dust up with the president the next time we have to raise the debt ce

mitch mcconnell saw it coming earlier.e, rand paul, remember was the tea party upstart who beat mitch mcconnell's favorite candidate a couple of years back. mcconnell saw that coming, you're the deal maker, you would rather negotiate with president obama than sit down with your party. mitch mcconnell was able to head it off. mr. brat was able to head it off. mr. cantor was not. major consensus of what i'll call more establishment strategists is that the tea party is going to claim victory here. that they didn't do so much, the organizations didn't do so much. this view this more as an indigenous revolt. >> this is a really important point, this really was a grass roots effort for mr. brat. >> there was some organic support, for example as i mentioned earlier, laura ingraham who is a conservative radio talk show host. she has made this kind of her cause. on twitter she even went down there to do a rally last week. i am sure that didn't help mr. cantor at all. but one thing i want to just report, first of all i should tell y

do john boehner and mitch mcconnell care about congress and not care about who the nominee is? >> they're pounding their chests saying they're winning the victories over the tea party, they may be outorganizing the tea party but where they challenge the tea party on policy? they're afraid to bring immigration to the floor because there's a culture among the republican base, when i spoke to david brat, cantor hasn't brought the dream act to the floor, hasn't done anything. brat says it's the idea that he could that is the threat. this idea is keeping republicans even if they feel powerful on the sidelines to not do anything. >> mitt romney got one in ten non-white votes. that population is only growing. >> let answer remember in 2008 to 2012 there was a study that found the electorate shifted measurably in one election cycle giving the democrats several percentage points, perhaps more than they would have at least according to this one study. you had romney campaign people in 2012 saying we are the last presidential campaign ever that's going to try to have a white primarily whi

to tell harry reid and not to tell mitch mcconnell, to not tell john boehner, to not tell nancy pelosi, that's against the law and it's not right. >> let's move on from the constitutionality of all that and the possible overreach to what actually happened. what would you have)hr opportunity, his health was deteriorating, what would you have done in that circumstance? >> well, you do this in the sober light of day. and we have made a decision as a nation that we do not negotiate with terrorists. we did negotiate with terrorists. do you think president obama would have won his election if he sat in that debate with john mccain and said, i'm going to negotiate with terrorists -- that is not what you do as the president of the united states. >> we're going to have to see how it all flushes out. now more hearings are probably on the way. >> oh, yeah. >> great to see you. >>> constitutional showdown today in the senate over campaign cash and the first amendment. senate majority leader harry reid wants to put the campaign finance genie back in the bottle by changing the u.s. constitution. min

let's start with you mitch. what are the next steps? >> it is not clear what the next steps are. they have some options. the bigger question is what the impact is going to have on other internet technologies, especially audio visual technologies. >> gordon smith, come in on this decision. tell us what it means. >> if you have a new technology you are not exempt from copyright law. but the supreme court did is stand by the principle of the united states constitution that requires those who would take the intellectual property of others to deal with them, to do business with them. cable was subject to copper then a new technology comes along and they were subject to copyright. aereo comes along and tries to build a model that exempts them from dealing with the creators of this content. the supreme court said you cannot do that. >> come in on the decision. it was 6-3. what does that tell you about the future litigation around streaming of content? >> the court was clear in the opinion to limit the holding in this case to these facts. they went out of their way to make it clear that

>> mitch mcconnell said this. and now that he's out, now that it appears to be associated with president obama, it's the worst thing that has ever been done and could possibly lead to impeachment. i find the politics around this so distasteful. and i really find it unpleasant that we have to sit here and argue and defend the principle that we need to bring all of our troops home. it's just crazy. >> late today, we even hear, phillip, senator feinstein suggesting the administration might not have acted legally by not consulting congress. feinstein says i strongly agree we should have been consulted. laws should have been followed. i deeply regret that it was not. how important is this? put this into context for me. >> i think adults need to sit in the room across the aisle with the president and discuss it. both sides, i hate to tell you, are right. there's a law that says the president is supposed to consult with congress about release of guantanamo prisoners. and another law says the president is commander-in-chi

here the thing we pay attention to mitch mcconnell. mcconnell is probably in better position than most people think. that doesn't mean he's going to win. but i argue we in the media should have taken 10% of the attention we paid to mitch mcconnell and instead devoted it to john boehner and eric cantor's primary. not because we saw it coming but because of marginal story would actually serve readers better than the 400th story about mitch mcconnell's race. >> what i love about this, it proves the importance of actually voting and showing up. for the grass the roos activist it's where you come down politically. you can actually do something if you're passionate. i love talking about it. that's why i'm a political journalist. >> there are were some outfits paying attention. split crow. we look at our weekly look how the partisan media is, not covering stories or bending them a certain way. i want to play one from laura ingram. >> this is a massive wake-up call from the republican party if they choose to wake up at this point. >> laura was

mitch mcconnell has shown he is going to say whatever he thengs will win him the election.ero integrity. he is saying i will repeal obama care but in kentucky you can keep it. the rest of the country can't have it. he is doing that. i think allison grimes needs to attack him on all of these lies. he is out there saying whatever, however, whenever and she needs to attack him on that because not showing anyone who has integrity. >> there is a fascinating thing happening on the right when people asked if they agree with global warming. they say i'm not a scientist. that is their answer is to fudge and not admit that they believe in climate change or don't. this at a time when interestingly enough you have not just scientists agreeing but regular people, too. there is an interesting piece in the washington post. he talks about how the climate issue can help democrats in 2016. the recent new polls that show majority of americans, republicans and democrats believe climate change is real. 73% of young people, 76% of nonwhites believe it. 76% of college educated whites. that sounds

mitch survived his primary because of an ineffective campaign but you have a candidate getting almost of the vote against him, against a 30-year minority leader which is not exactly a great show of strength on mcconnell's part. >> it seems to be anti-establishment sent. across the board and we have to see what that translates into. if this trend does continue, if this division continues, what should democratic candidates be focused on combatting, the republican mainstream or more of the fringe elements? >> i think democratic candidates need to focus on talking about what they plan to do to help this country move forward to help reduce the financial enequity and help create jobs and get our middle class moving again, to create retirement security for many -- all of our citizens. i think the american people want somebody to act and that's what democrats need to be talking about, not worrying about talking about the internal politics or process questions that we often spend much too much time doing. >> i think there will be a hell yeah in response to that around the nation. if we are loo

that's as close as you are going to see a harry reid, mitch mcconnell dance party.heir expressions never change but they might have each gone to the men's room separately to wash their hands after that one. >> they totally disinfected themselves after that one. >>> speaking of house speaker john boehner, he is now considering a lawsuit against president obama, arguing that our nation's chief executive is overusing his executive authority and side stepping the constitution. good morning. >> reporter: not a lot of hand holding gopg on here, this already complicates the difficult relationship between the president and congress. we've been hearing repeatedly from this administration, we're not going to wait for congress, we're going to use our pen. don't have to wait for congress. now, house speaker john boehner is saying well, congress might not be able to pass much right now but that doesn't mean you can just go and do it yourself. now looking to sue president obama to make that point. everyone made nice for an event at the white house, the president joking that house

that time you were mitch mcconnell running for senate in kentucky and you shows duke celebrating theirin instead of kentucky, that's forever. that time you were a congressional wig shot used to getting things your own way for your district, but you go to your own district, and they boo you and heckle you like crazy, that's all on tape. that's forever. >> when i sit here and i listen to mr. brat speak, i hear the inaccuracies of families here -- [ booing ] >> we are about a country of free speech, so decency is also part of this. >> that was congressman, incumbent congressman eric cantor last month, running to try to hold on to his congressional seat in the seventh district of virginia. he won seven terms in a row in that district. he's the house majority leader in line to become speaker after john boehner, and we learned after the race he couldn't go home to his local republicans in his district without getting booed. while congressman cantor was working away at the top tiers of republicans in washington, this is what his challenger dave brat was telling people at home. this is what da

and with the threat of -- >> when did mitch mcconnell lose?y lost, they said well, we did sort win because he was running on our values. the tea party is having some success in moving them policy wise further to the right. >> i see lindsey as a guy i used to be comfortable listening to. now i hear a vitrl out there. he doesn't hate hillary clinton. he doesn't hate the democrats. but he's asking like -- acting like he hates them. >> the lindsey graham that you see in south carolina is really different than the lindsey graham you see when you watch the sunday shows here in washington. the rhetoric is, as she said, him fighting. >> you're telling me that the tea party watches "meet the press" and "sunday nation." >> he's running against the tea party in south carolina. he's down there saying i'm fighting for my brand of conservatism. i have laid down a gauntlet, my challenge is very clear. >> why did he use the word impeachment about clinton? why did he do it? >> i can't answer that question. >> do you think he did it on purpose? >> what i think
