>> well, first of all, he doesn't like mitch mcconnell. and it's petty, and he's not going to find republicans eager to get up and challenge mitch mcconnell as "the wall street journal" pointed out. people believe he's been a very good leader. scott jennings knows a lot about mitch mcconnell and has been close to him. look, i think he -- he says mitch mcconnell said on the floor of the senate that i provoked the insurrection. mitch mcconnell didn't vote to decertify the election, right? he don't like him, and he wants to make trouble for him, and he's supporting candidates to run that mitch mcconnell doesn't run because he thinks that they would lose and that would endanger getting back a majority. the president is playing games here and i think given internal senate politics he's going to lose this one if he's real serious about it. >> scott, you worked with mitch mcconnell. what do you think he does with this? >> well, he's not engaged with trump since really december, and he won't talk about him publicly because mcconnell's only goal he

>> reporter: donald trump is trying to take his feud with mitch mcconnell to the next level. in the wake of the 2022 election even though mitch mcconnell did not vote to convict trump in the impeachment trial he strongly condemned him for his rhetoric and behavior leading up to january 6th and privately blamed trump for the pair of losses in the georgia senate races. now trump, who is known to hold a grudge and already on a revenge campaign, is actively trying to find someone who challenge mcconnell for gop leader, according to "the wall street journal." there appears to be little, if any appetite inside the republican conference to do that, even tommy tuberville, one of trump's top allies in the senate told "the wall street journal" he thinks mitch mcconnell is doing a good job and this is not a fight he wants to engage in. it speaks to a few points. number one, mitch mcconnell is widely viewed as an effective and respected leader inside the conference. keep in mind there is a 6-3 conservative majority on the supreme court because of mitch mcconnell and republicans know that

let's talk about mitch mcconnell. you, when i pretty much know you think about on a regular occasion. that is, where did this nihilism come from? take the case of mitch mcconnell, a guy who is a complete product of the system. where did it come from that he now is okay burning the system down? >> well look, the situation here brian is a feature not of -- for mitch mcconnell. i don't think this came naturally for him out of birth. it came from the fact that this is what republican voters want from him. he realized that he could be nihilistic and get what he wants, just powerful power sake. you know, if you roll back the clock to the garland debate, the fact that mitch mcconnell got away with that and was able to essentially steal a supreme court seat demonstrated him that he suffers no political penalty for acts like this. the only way to get mitch mcconnell the changes actions is to ensure that he suffers a political penalty. i think you saw him change only temporarily, but somewhat after the loss in georgia to speak

so this is what mitch mcconnell is prepared to do apparently for political reasons.rstand the political calculus here because i think the american people will hold him responsible if there is damage done. >> what is happening here is if the democrats bring up a change to the debt ceiling mitch mcconnell is saying that republicans will actually require a 60-vote threshold. they will block it. they don't have to do that. it used to be that no one would dare try to bring a 60-vote threshold to a must pass bill like a debt ceiling or other things in the senate but now mcconnell is saying, you will need 60 votes to do that. you won't get the republican votes. and therefore he is kind of in effect saying, democrats should just do it in their reconciliation bill. >> well, you're making a very important point, which is what mitch mcconnell and the republicans should do of course is what they did throughout donald trump's term, which is to vote to lift the debt ceiling. if they don't want to do that, they don't want to provide security for the country's economy, at the very l

so this is what mitch mcconnell is prepared to do, apparently for political reasons.rstand his calculus here, i think the american people will hold him responsible if there is damage done. >> so what is happening here is that if the democrats -- if chuck schumer brings up a change to the debt ceiling, mcconnell is saying that the republicans will require a 60 vote threshold, they will block it. they don't have to do that. it used to be that no one would dare try to bring a 60 vote threshold to a must pass bill like a debt ceiling or other things in the senate. but now mcconnell is saying you will need 60 votes to do that, you won't get the republican votes to do that. and therefore he is in effect saying, democrats should just do it in the reconciliation bill. >> you are making a very important point, which is mitch mcconnell and the republicans should do, what they should do versus what they did during donald trump's term, which is to lift the debt ceiling. but if they don't want to do that, if they don't want to provide security for the country's economy, at the ver

i think that mitch mcconnell is being extremely cynical. if it came down to it, let's just say maybe a couple of democratic senators had to go into covid quarantine and couldn't make the vote. mitch mcconnell wouldn't let the country default on its debt. we had this debate in 2013. i was working for people that wanted to have spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling which i still think is a pretty good policy because if we're going to keep spending this money, maybe we should get it under control. mitch mcconnell didn't want to do it but he crossed over and voted with the democrats to raise that debt ceiling. so he is being cynical, hypocritical, yes, but let's just call him a bare knuckled partisan because that's really how he's acting here. in my view. >> amanda, it's more than that because look at the rule that he is setting up. he is saying now, the majority party should have to raise the debt ceiling by itself without any votes from the minority party. that's what he is saying. but at the same time, the minority party sho

i think people really need to focus on what mitch just said.t said every republican in the united states senate was prepared to vote to have the federal government default. that's what he said. i think that's a violation of the constitutional oath. it would be financial havoc if we actually defaulted. the last time we threatened to, our credit rating as a country was lowered a little bit, financial markets did not appreciate that. so there are a lot of things at stake here. but you're right. i don't know what the political calculation one way or the other is. i personally would like to see a clean vote on a debt ceiling so that republicans actually have to go on the record on that vote only and not mix it with a funding measure but ultimately the most important thing is to get both of them done. chris: let me ask you about an issue that involves democrats and the house. democratic leaders say that the house will -- i thought the word choice was interesting -- consider the bipartisan infrastructure deal a week from tomorrow, september 27th, whic

the person who broke it was mitch mcconnell.dented step of blocking a nominee, refusing to even have a hearing, refusing to have a hearing on a nominee by the president, and he received no punishment for that. democrats didn't punish him. voters didn't punish him. the court itself didn't punish hichl him. neil gorsuch didn't. mitch mcconnell will continue do his court-breaking political maneuvers, and until the democrats grow some kind of -- i don't want to say backbone because it sounds like i'm pulling things out of the air. there are concrete things democrats could do to depoliticize the court. one would be to expand the number of justices on the supreme court so each individual confirmation bat sri lanka not a life-or-death decision. if one goes down, that's a huge political ideal. if there were 19 justices, 29 justices as there are on the ninth circuit court, they could do it in a bipartisan position, you get five, i get five. they won't do that, so mitch mcconnell is going to keep winning the street brawl as long as we let

that's what mitch mcconnell is doing right now.is doing right now. they're telling americans they're going to let the country default on its debt, which would be economically devastating because they're not going to pay their own bill. >> first of all, we would need barnacle's help even to get in that club. you and i can't get in on our own. >> true that. >> i think the argument democrats have been making correctly this was debt racked up under president trump, debt from both parties, and republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling repeatedly, when a republican was in office and democrats have done that when a republican was in office. so there's the extraordinary and accurate claim of hypocrisy here, the nation could default for the first time. we heard the warnings in the financial markets. we her treasury secretary yellen say how devastating this would be for the u.s. and its global reputation and economy at home were this to happen. simply, it's the republicans. we all who do this in washington and new york and watch this, we s

but plot twist, there is an even bigger roadblock right now, that has nothing to do with mitch. it is a fight between the progressives and the moderates in the democratic party. yeah. apparently sources tell me that they're more divided than jerry family after his parents got divorced, right, jerry? two thanksgiving for this guy. you see right now joe biden wants the dems to pass two huge bills. one is the infrastructure bill which the moderates are gaga over, it's got a trillion dollars for boring shit like roads, bridges, hammers, i don't know. but the progressives won't vote for it unless the moderates vote for their reconciliation bill which has $3.5 trillion for child care, health care, climate change, all the stuff that bernie's horny for. i'm so horny. and the moderates are saying why don't you vote for our bill first and then we can talk about your bill. and the progressives are saying maybe you should take a seat. >> progressives like bernie sanders saying democrats either pass both laws or they will block the bipartisan bill. >> look, you guys want to pass the infrastr

republicans are trying to score the focus on vaccines, and as the new it's justice standing next to mitch mcconnell. claims the court is in partisan, the oldest justice still refuses to retire. i don't intend to die on the court, i don't think i'll be there forever. the ridiculous state of the supreme court fall and starts right now. good evening from new york i'm chris hayes, today is the last day of the california recall campaign. and you may not live in california, so you're asking we'll, what about me? but it is the first eve of the first big political test of the post trump era. because elections one year into a new president term, they are often an early indicator of which way the wind is blowing, which way politics are forming, of a new administration in the white house. you may remember during president barack obama's first year of office, the last time we had a first term democratic president, even that fall of that year we saw this huge surprise offset. a race from governor new jersey was chris christie. you know for told some troubles ahead for democrats. so there was a huge po

he sees mitch mcconnell sitting in the u.s. senate. what would you tell stephen breyer about what he should do? some think he should retire while democrats control the senate so they can get a more liberal justice in now, in case democrats lose the senate. what would you tell breyer? >> retire now or retire during this session or at the end of this session. be replaced. because this is, of course, what happened when we lost ginsberg. he's going to pull a merrick garland again, mcconnell, and he said he would. it's not like -- you know, that's shameless. the principle upon which he didn't take up merrick garland was that it was an election year. then, of course, comey barrett was seated nine days before the election. so he's a shameless hypo -- you know, he is just shameless. if i were breyer, it is his decision, but i think he should retire. >> again, dealing with mitch mcconnell, other than changing the filibuster rules, which you've talked about and you're very much for, how can democrats get what they want or work around mitch mccon

um, i also talked to mitch mcconnell walking in.ging their members not to be attending this? and i didn't get a response. but those are the questions you saw kevin mccarthy saying that he doesn't think any of his members are. they're not entirely speaking out against the event or saying don't attend the event. but they are trying to kind of, you know, basically be a little bit more quiet ahead of the rally without upsetting the base or members by speaking out against it. >> yeah. so this is interesting. i would have figured. so we have seen marjorie taylor greene, i think paul gosar, i think matt gaetz doing things like showing up at department of justice at some points, sort of demanding to see the political -- the quote/unquote political prisoners. i would have guessed they would go to this. it strikes me that there was some back and forth in that caucus about this as maybe not a great look to attend. >> well, you know, i -- i don't know if there have been any kind of formal issuings of don't attend for mccarthy. there haven't bee

mcconnell, have taken, is totally irresponsible and i hope that they come to their senses because mitchon kentucky taking credit for a lot of the spending that is now requiring us to raise the debt limit. but which doesn't really care about seeming inconsistent or hypocritical. he says whatever is expedient. >> chris: let me interrupt if i can for a moment, mr. chairman. >> chairman yarmuth: short. >> chris: of people haven't gathered already, you and mitch mcconnell are political adversaries. he has taken a clear stand on the debt limit and let's hear from him. >> let me be crystal clear about this. republicans are united in opposition to raising the debt ceiling. >> chris: so i guess here's the question. if you separate them, then mcconnell and the republicans in the senate are going to vote to fund the government, but not for the debt limit. if you combine them, then wouldn't that make it harder for republicans to vote against it, because if they vote against the debt limit, they are voting to shutdown the government as well? >> chairman yarmuth: you know, i'm not sure which is worse

charles: mitch what are your thoughts?arting to salivate probably getting a little nauseous with the gyrations, but there are some names that we're right on the heels of earnings season and there's some names that have done really well this year, i'm a big fan of apple, oracle, and sales salesforce, and i think if you have the stomach right now if we see a little bit more sell-off before we get into that earnings season it's a great time to buy. charles: you know, mitch let me stay with you here for a minute. we complain a lot about all the unbride eled spending in d.c., but can we admit stock markets love it? i mean all of this money pouring into the economy a lot of it ultimately ends up on corporate balance sheets, in fact senator manchin said something earlier today the one part we don't like is the taxes that go along with it so is that one of the reasons for the anxiety today? >> yeah, i think, listen the market hates uncertainty and this is about as uncertain a week as you could possibly find. we don't know if the g

how is mitch mcconnell justifying saying that republicans, that he believes they have to do the debtimit, that it has to be done. important for the country. can't let the country go into default. but republicans won't vote for it at all, and the democrats will have to carry it themselves, even though democrats unanimously voted for three donald trump debt limit raises helping republicans when they were in charge. >> reporter: there's no consistency in the position by mcconnell. this is purely an opportunity by republicans to cause democrats political pain. and when you're in the minority across all of government, you don't have much of an agenda of your own, mainly what you can do is make life miserable for the other side when you so choose. that's basically what republicans are doing. the argument boils down to they say democrats have shown little interest working with republicans as they spent trillions, whether it was on the first covid relief package earlier this year passed by democrat only votes or the new 3.5 reconciliation bill, expected to be passed by only democratic votes.

mitch mcconnell is holding us hostage and putting us on the brink of catastrophe. republicans will not rubberstamp reckless spending. if democrats want to go it alone , they can go it alone. republicans saying tie it to this reconciliation. senator todd young, republican, saying a vote to raise the debt limit is a vote to cosign on the unprecedented spending spree and republicans will not be complicit. robbie, florida, you support the increase of the debt limit. why? caller: the reason why, the last time we had a balanced budget was under a democratic regime, the clinton regime. but by raising the debt ceiling we can take care of some of the problems that have gotten worse under the pandemic. the reason why republicans are against it is because of a power struggle. the first thing when trump came in, they relieved the wealthy and the large corporations from having to pay taxes. those taxes are money collected that pay for the things we need. we need to make sure that any bills in terms of infrastructure are paid for and that's what the democrats have done, by rolli

and a long relationship with mitch mcconnell.derstands -- i love the quote that sahil brought us about the hostage with mitch mcconnell. he is someone who is shrewd strategically on these matters and at the same time he is testing the ground here of a thin democratic majority. this is action from mitch mcconnell that appears more dangerous than we have typically seen for someone who is risk averse when it comes to threatening the country's economic sovereignty with the debt limit. so the answer is the president is tied up with foreign policy at the moment in terms of his public stage, at the u.n., having other meetings, dealing with those things. we have not seen what they're prepared to do behind the scenes, but the biden agenda really has to be set in the first year of this presidency given the midterms coming and given the nier oweness of the majorities. so he's got a lot riding on this and has to be involved at some point. >> during the bipartisan infrastructure talks steve rish ety was the point person from the white house.

mitch mcconnell. he was able to push through 300 federal judges on the bench, during the trump administration. we the democratic party, are the only group that never talked about the. course and mitch mcconnell knew with this was going. that's why he has three supreme court justices, and that's why he's that is over 300 federal judges. we are in trouble if the democrats cannot get kristen cinema, and joe cinema on board. our democracy is weaning, coming to its and right now, and that is not me being hyperbolic, that is absolutely the truth. no voting. no democracy jonathan please stick around we're just getting started, thank you for pulling that triple duty forest. good to see my friend. coming up after america's 20 a war in afghanistan, there's a lot to unpack. nbc's new york angle joins me here on set, the head of a special edition of an assignment airing tonight, on msnbc at 10 pm. and when we come back traditional philosophy, versus political party, while some are calling justice amy caliber's la

right next to mitch mcconnell.-senate majority leader, mcconnell invented one precedent in 2016. he refused a hearing on merrick garland's nomination because it was within eight months of an election. he then reversed that precedent in 2020 to rush amy coney barrett to the supreme court less than one month before an election. yes, she chose that setting, next to mitch mcconnell, to complain that the supreme court is unfairly viewed as partisan in this country, believe it or not. to help viewers understand why this outrage lasted all week, we thought it would help to use two different references. now, for viewers my age and perhaps older, you see what amy coney barrett said is kind of like this clip. >> i'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. >> your winnings, sir. >> oh, thank you very much. >> if you're a younger viewer and have no idea what that reference was, this is more like it. >> i'm going to throw a hot dog shaped car through the window. >> the driver's gone. >> somebody call the cop

you know mitch mcconnell cares about, all that dark money deference those. elections and gets where that money comes from? it doesn't come from mom and pop, down the corner got drugstore. it comes from major corporations in this country. and i can assure you he is going to have a moment where his stomach will clinch over whether or not he is going to be able to get the money he needs dark money to take the senate if he does this to the economy. eugene, give me an on the fly column of 60 seconds or so. reminding everyone that joe biden was elected having been there on his experience and competence. and while folks like us have learned never to draw conclusions about a moment in time, because tomorrow everything can change, if time stopped tonight, what's your column say? with his agenda frozen? what happened? is there a leading reason, to you? >> well, i guess i am not quite sure about the premise. it's unclear to me that the agenda is frozen. if time stopped tonight, we wouldn't know how it ended, right? we wouldn't know what eventually happened. and my posi

mitch mcconnell has amazing nerve. mean, the republicans did this three times during trump, they raised the debt ceiling. and i think it's time to do away with this. you know, it seems to me when you vote to spend money, you are voting to raise the debt sealing because that's what they're defending. that americans won't understand what this is. it sounds like to americans that they're raising the limit on their credit card. no, they're not doing that. all they're doing is paying their bills. that's all they're doing. so, the notion they want to play political gains with america paying its bills is astounding to me. that they are trying to withhold every single vote. democrats always gave them votes on the debtd ceiling, always. >> so, eugene, tonight, among other things, we're thinking of george floyd. so much for the most impactful summer of protests thinl history of this republic, being the imitous for police reform. if you ask senate negotiators, not so much. and so it ends with a whimper. >> and one of our major po

charles: gary, mitch, thank you very much. i want to bring in university of maryland economist peter morici. thanks for joining us. heard the market panel talk about the private sector, the payroll number coming in much less than expected in august. what i want to hear from you is, what does that mean for the jobs report? you know, so far this year the adp number has not been a reliable indicator for the blf number. >> that is not a good year. generally speaking the adp number is an indicator, if it is positive, the jobs report is positive. it can be off 3 or 4,000 easily. it is a small sample problem. we don't know. if we say 400,000 it is not a terrible month. just it is lower and considering the delta out there and so forth we expected the economy's growth to slow in this quarter a bit. so we're going to get a number like that every now and then. you have to have two numbers like that in a row to say there has been an abrupt change. lauren: would you agree with gary the fed is causing issues we're seeing in the housing mark

the democrats had the opportunity on saturday to start the process that mitch mcconnell laid out that said that he would allow to go forward and they refused to doyt. at the start of the budget hearing on saturday i made a motion, i made a motion to postpone the hearing until monday so that we could revise it and start the process that mitch mcconnell suggested. they failed to do it. it's in their hands they control the house they control the white house they control the senate. and they have the process and the tools at hand to raise the debt limit by themselves and they're refusing to do it. mr. scalise: they vice president even gotten a congressional budget office score for the massive tax and spending they plan to bring to the floor possibly this week. we asked for a c.b.o. score. they acknowledged they don't have one and my not bring it to the floor with a score. so nobody knows what the cost of this is. we know it's in the massive trillions. the number only keeps going up. that's the biggest concern is every time you get a resiezed estimate because it's not even official the est

senator manchin met with minute majority leader mitch mcconnell to pitch voting rights.he was, quote, optimistic, but mcconnell doubled down on the party's complete opposition. >> there is no rational basis for the federal government taking over how we conduct elections in this country. every state conducts elections differently. you're watching some states pass their laws, based upon the experience we had last year, during a 100-year pandemic. what do all of these new laws have in common? none of them, not one, is designed to suppress the vote based upon race. so, there is no reason for the federal government to take over how we conduct elections. it is a solution in search of a problem. and we will not be supporting that. >> some democrats are reportedly now hoping that thisological show senator manchin that bipartisanship is impossible for voting rights and may get him to back the filibuster exemption. joining us now, co-founder of punch bol news, anna farmer, she's also an msnbc contributor. reconciliation, avoiding a shutdown. i know you guys interviewed senate mino

"the wall street journal" reporting donald trump wants mitch mcconnell out.eader of the republican party has lasted long enough. they have had periods of detente where they both go about the business. trump is looking for republican senators to essentially organize a civil war or a revolt against mcconnell. not going too well but the fact that it's happening as you go into a mid-term year not helpful. >> yeah, but -- perhaps not helpful for mcconnell, sure, but the big takeaway for those us on the hill reading the story is trump owes clout really has -- has been scaled back considerably at least in the senate. you have team like tommy tuberville, republican from alabama endorsed by president trump saying that he supports mccould be. you have people like john kennedy that this would happen when, quote, donkeys fly and john kennedy from louisiana was a huge supporter of drew. even the candidates that trump has endorsed in the senate races are refusing to go on record to say they think mcconnell should be out or removed, and so, you know, that shows us that, you

mitch mcconnell saw it. kevin mccarthy saw it, pardon me. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack by mob rioters. he should have immediately denou denounced the mod when he saw what was unfolding. >> and as i said, mitch mcconnell said it. >> there is no question, none, president trump is practically and morally responsible for proe v -- provoking the events of the day. no question about it. the people who stormed this bel acting on the wishes and instructions of the president. and having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing cfalse statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole, which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest mega phone on planet earth. >> so they all saw it. they knew it. they saw the big lie in action. they saw the violence. they knew exactly who was responsible and still do. they know. apparently, they have apparently decided their political survival is more important than the survival of our democracy, the misinformation war, t

there's a -- >> mitch mcconnell's decided to play politics, don.as you said, they did it three times for president trump, they did it countless times with president obama. it's what the government has to do to continue to go forward. and mitch mcconnell's decided that he wants to draw a line in the sand and see if he can hold his base together. because his party has a similar problem. they're warring with themselves too. the trumpians who are trying to continue to run this party and you have traditionalists like mitch mcconnell. he's saying, well, here's an issue that we all can get behind, which is fighting joe biden. no matter the economy would crash and the stock market would go crazy and all these things. mitch mcconnell just wants to play politics, and it's sad, but it's true. >> i just remembered during the bush and the obama administrations, all the consternation, and we covered it over and over, the debt ceiling, and we may have had a countdown clock, who knows. but it was most probably we did -- but this isn't something that's new just to

senators, democrat, republican and independent do their job, then we can prove to mitch mcconnell thatair election system that responds not only to the record turnout we saw but the record response we are seeing that continues the insurgency. we need to make certain that no matter where you live in america your right to vote is real and protected. and i call on mitch mcconnell and all his colleagues to stand with democrats and say we believe in patriotism over partisanship and the freedom to vote act is going to be the bill that makes it so. >> stacey abrams, great to get the chance to talk to you tonight. >> thank you for having me. >>> president biden was in colorado today. he's been chris crossing the country quite a bit touring a renewable energy lab as part of his big push. and an ambitious part of his agenda is the plan for over half of all new cars sold by 2030 to be electric. we talked about it a bit on this show, but i finally got to have an in-depth conversation about the electric vehicle revolution with bloomberg reporter dana hall in my podcast why is this happening. we tal

it would be a catastrophe but let me quote mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell said the following. he said not supporting the debt limit suspension assures congress will not throw this into the thriving economy. they didn't want to throw and unnecessary wrench into the job growth. today to do that we urge him to stop holding the debt and the economy hostage. again we will be upholding our values and we will have legislation on the security interests that we have in the middle east by putting additional funding in the defensive system to negotiate in that support it's vital for american security and we pray for innocent lives lost on either side of these arguments. tomorrow, led by the congresswoman we are passing the health protection act. it's a very exciting day for some of us in the congress. we've long been supporters of roe v wade but we haven't been able to codify. every woman everywhere has a constitutional right to basic reproductive health but that has been questioned by some. it goes beyond the discussion and it has evoked a response. this is probably why you are all here

. >> michael, obviously another person feeling the former president's wrath is minority leader mitche new reporting that the former president wants him to challenge mcconnell's leadership position. >> that's right, and these two stories tie very well together. the dispute between mcconnell and trump goes back, really, to mitch mcconnell's refusal to undermine the election along with donald trump, really, and now trump is trying to oust him, trying to get him out of a leadership position that he's held longer than any other republican in the history of the party. the striking thing to me is that -- dana had a very good point here about trump holding onto this idea that he won the 2020 election because he didn't want to be called a loser, but there is no reason for him to give it up at this point because he's convinced 65%, 70% of the republican party that he did win. so while he's able to convince all these republicans that he won in 2020, what he can't convince anyone, or he hasn't yet, is to attack mitch mcconnell. one ally after the next, one trump ally after the next in the senate

mitch mccoy live in new orleans for us tonight. we appreciate your time. what's left of ida. let's check in now with kron 4 meteorologist dave spahr. and just really just as a big rainmaker right now. well, rainmaker and also locally severe weather, which these things always do. it just takes days and days. the atmosphere really to absorb all that that's going on. look at that. look at the territory. this is covered up here. >> we have some colors ation for some watches going on here. we talked to even yesterday about all the flash flooding that goes up to new england. but i would draw your attention to some of the red here. yeah. tornado watch boxes. this is not the dc area, but its northern virginia very, very typical of landfalling hurricanes when they're out at sea. it's like a perfect machinery because everything or no tension at the surface of the water they go over land and it's a different story. so its port basically they're dying pattern that can create all of this weather that takes days for the atmosphere really to absorb. so this will be in pl

it's like mitch mcconnell. i'm not comparing them in terms of any kind of ideology, but they know how to do what they do. and she is not going to bring something to the floor if she doesn't have the votes. this setting the 27th wound up not working for her or for the party because it is now evidenced them to the country at large at a time where the numbers are not good for biden personally. therapeutic not good in terms of job performance and they're not good in terms of right way or wrong way for the country. on that last one, they're probably blaming the republicans a lot for that also. but they need to get something done. and some is better than none. these are all popular items. whatever they get done. but what if they don't get anything done? >> that's the point. let me tell you this, and this goes for news the news media as well. now that covid has -- we're out of quarantine so to speak, still safe, still wearing the mask and whatever, i've had a chance to travel around the country, as you know. i've gone

mitch roschelle back with us.usly they're committing a lot of donor this, a lot of planning for this, in the case of target they're concerned about supply disruptions telling folks to be concerned about that, what do you think of all this? >> it is interesting that target is trying to boost hours of existing workers, not hiring as many as seasonal workers. sales force predicted as much as 20% inflation in some traditional holiday items and this network reported stories about artificial christmas trees getting stuck on container ships off the coast of california. so i think the supply chain is really going to hit close to home this holiday season. the retailers are smart to tell consumers to get ahead of it, shop now. neil: obviously the retail appetite has been robust. you can talk about consumer confidence surveys and soft inned a little bit here. by and large, balance sheet of the consumer is pretty strong. what are you looking at in the weeks and months ahead? >> i go back to last year which was completely a di

the dispute goes back really to mitch mcconnell's refusal to under undermun the election with donaldnow donald trump is trying to oust him, trying to get him out of a leadership position that he held longer than any other republican in the party. the striking thing to me is that, you know, dana had a very good point about trump holding on to this idea that he won the 2020 election because he doesn't want to be called a loser. but he's also -- there's no reason to give it up at this point. he is convinced, you know, 65%, 70% of the republican party that he did win. while he is able to convince the republicans he won in 2020, what he can't convince anyone or he hasn't yet is to attack mitch mcconnell. one ally after the next. one trump ally after the next in the senate came to mcconnell's defense and said this is, you know, donkeys will fly before they vote mcconnell out. trump's endorsed candidates in the contested primaries in pennsylvania, north carolina, georgia. her shall walker wouldn't be running without trump. refused to weigh in and say whether or not he would vote for mcconne

republicans represent lots of billionaires and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and his wife are really rich. defaulting would hurt them, too. what's the point? so republicans can perform a fake kind of fiscal probe by demanding cuts to government services and spending in exchange for raising the debt limit and paying the nation's lls of course, that theater ma miraculously disappears and mitch has the gavel, which is why during the trump administration, spend away. because none of it matters. republicans do not care about the debt. they never have. what they do care about is not letting democratic administrations succeed even if that means recking the economy to ruin their administrations, and they care about not letting democrats spend money on ordinary people like you. they only want money to be spent on things like giant subsides like oil companies and tax cuts for the super rich. all e res is eater. hunger games theater. which brings us to today. when senate republicans have once again dragged the united states into the world to the brink of catastrophe. mcconnell that led r
