mitch mccomhas always been a power player. whether you like him or not, he's always been someone who has control of that republican conference and feels he's in charge. he's not in charge now. he's been run over. the party did not follow what he wanted to do over the past two years. i think he got in touch with the base once. obviously he's aging. and so i think for a variety of reasons mitch mcconnell just doesn't have the juice anymore. i hope he finds it. i've got to tell you, i do think this is it for mitch mcconnell. i think he's either going to retire or someone will replace him. if you're going to retire, at least go out with some dignity. mich mcconnell is a cynical guy, but there's a few thing he cares about, and i would hope he finds some backbone in the next few weeks instead of getting run over by a third rate real estate guy out of new york. it's crazy how pathetic mitch mcconnell looks right now. >> i was going to say he can take a page out of mitt romney's book as he lev leaves the senate and standing up what he

a couple of examples of why about what donald trump has said about mitch mcconnell. >> mitch mcconnell is a disaster. the guy is a disaster. the old crow. >> he had to get to the old crow. >> the old crow. the old, broken down crow. mitch mcconnell is the least popular politician -- >> you had the old crow come out and say we don't have good candidates. >> yeah. >> that's mitch mcconnell, who's the worst thing we have in the republican party. he's absolutely the worst. >> this is the guy who is -- seems to be headed for the republican nomination and the top republican in the united states senate and has been for some time. >> you watch this dynamic, report on this dynamic every day. >> and donald trump has attacked mitch mcconnell's wife we should point out. >> who used to work for him. >> yes. >> in deranged and racist terms. >> yes. >> so with mitch mcconnell and donald trump obviously their relationship has completely soured since january 6th. it is hard to imagine that if donald trump becomes president that mitch mcconnell can remain or would want to remain as gop leader. there are

mitch mcconnell has no working relationship with donald trump. he outsourced the political partnership between senate republicans. the key here is senator mcconnell says he will back the nominee. if donald trump, who looks like the favorite wins the nomination, it seems like he will get that pro forma endorsement from mitch mcconnell, even though they could not be more different and are unaligned on big issues. >> will the former president care if mitch mcconnell endorses him? >> i don't even know if that is an endorsement trump would want. he has been calling for mcconnell to go. he encouraged rick scott to challenge mitch mcconnell last year. rick scott did but lost handily. that has created an ongoing split in the republican party in the senate. i don't know if trump wants that endorsement, and i do not know if mitch mcconnell will serve another term as leader. we will see this come to a head in the next couple months. if anyone tells you what will happen, they are lying to you. >> over to the house side, among republicans, who has the most en

tammy bruce, mitch mcconnell finally throwing in the towel. after howling conservative senator said you can't have this terrible deal, couple things, work permits for illegal migrants, 5,000 per day, influx of 5,000 per day is okay. i guess that less than 10,000 a day. increase number of visas for family of high school labors -- high sc skill labors and betts betsy mccaughey on show last night, talking about her great column, illegals who want to flying they don't need a picture i.d. card, no i.d. cards just go ahead and next thing they will vote. tammy, welcome to the show. >> thank you first time, i appreciate it. larry: all it is all. >> you know you mentioned jean baptiste i think of paris, i get distracted. larry: i knew him, he wrote in 1801. >> there you go, 5 thousand a day does not sound like much, wouldn't 50 thousand a month -- 150 thousand a month, you think about who is already here, numbers that have happened. we're still talking about incentives, the idea is someone can get in, maybe i can get in we can make if happen. the the c

i wouldn't sleep well at night if i were messing with mitch mcconnell.nk that -- if the steel get scuttled for whatever reason, i think that mcconnell wrote in classic mcconnell fashion, find a way to get out a knife in the phone booth, and drop some -- on the floor. >> robert, you agree? >> yeah, absolutely. and i think one of the things that mitch mcconnell and others are going to start talking about, because -- as you rightly mentioned, aid to ukraine is set up in this. and so, the winner in this deal also is vladimir putin. something i think you hear a lot about also in the state of the union, also by joe biden. and i think also by republicans that are concerned about what happens if our aid stops and russia's victorious in ukraine. what does that mean for the rest of europe and what does that mean for the rest of the world? all of that is bad. >> all right, mark, new topic. you have got a new piece out in vanity fair this week, laying out the race to be donald trump's running running mate. explain this. because, in the last 48 hours, people like to

mitch mcconnell has always been a power player.ou like him or not, he has always been somebody that has control of that republican conference and feels like he's in charge. he's not in charge now. he has been run over. the party did not follow what he wanted to do over the past two years. he's out of touch with what the base wants. obviously he is aging. and suffering for a variety of reasons he doesn't produce any more. i hope you find. it if this is, i do think this is it from mitch mcconnell. i think he's gonna retire or someone will replace him. if you're going to retire, at least go out with some dignity. mitch mcconnell is a cynical guy but there are a few things he cares about, and i would hope that he finds some backbone in the next few weeks instead of getting run over by a third rate realest eight guy out of new york. it's crazy how pathetic mitch mcconnell looks right now. >> i was gonna say, he can take a page out of mitt romney's book as he leaders senate in standing up for what he believes is the right thing to do. ti

have they not met mitch mcconnell.is to deny president obama a secon term. they live in a party where the republican nationally committee is weighing a resution to just declare trump a winner. >> i know both of these people pretty well, i have worked with them closely. as we say in vermont, let's see how this sugars out. when donald trump becomes a nominee and it's a straight-up choice, i don't think the problem is going to be what liz cheney or mitt romney are doing. i think they're going to do the right thing here. just think, mitt came out in the spring of '16 and denounced trump. and i don't think it's an exaggeration to say he was surprised that so few people followed him. and he was the first senator ever in the history of the united states to vote to impeach a member of his own party. and you know, i think he goes to bed at night and he sleeps well. he's been threatened, as has liz cheney. they have both received serious physical threats and dealt with it, but they're examples of quiet courage. i think they'll e

the listening to mitch uh would be a better word than the the man got up. how much though tom and the amount of democrats might help us from your passport, and i don't know why good about slow motion and motion to my normal chapter. make up that the post, pardon me, i need to have the term conduct a mix. i've already seen one was going to use it kind of getting thrown into how good see bit of video get across at 1000. which device on his cannot from again tony, not on soon, but the concept parked on the term called a spots kind me ability cause my board. i'm on hard such are the night fine sir. can you talk on those for thank you very small computer prophy. so dotted, exceptionally close cobra, you'll click on these like you go to that, some of which main to not, i wouldn't i live on it as a the the g i live in the shot if shot it does, will be 2 minutes outside of the last phone bill it's on been night, but i've got in the syllabus the on the on the bottom the no cost to convert all that good. good bye. all right, bye bye. exceeded my time to costco, combi

conservatives are revolting against mitch mcconnell. loyalists of donald trump oppose mcconnell's efforts to secure a border deal, they do not like mcconnell working with democrats. >> mitch knows what he's doing, he's negotiating for the same objectives chuck schumer has. they want a bill that funds ukraine it is a blank check to ukraine and they want a bill that has a fig leaf it pretends to do border security. >> reporter: conservatives accuse mcconnell trying to undercut mike johnson on border security. mcconnell feuded with donald trump. donald trump fired broadside at mcconnell and call the leader and his wife names. mcconnell is keeping his distance from the top gop candidate for president. >> if you the top republican in the senate are not endorsing him for president. >> i don't have any announcement to make. you may recall i stayed essentially out of it and when i change my mind about that i will let you know. >> mcconnell has supportive most senate republicans. >> he takes the arrows for a lot of senate republicans. he goes af

mitch mcconnell has no working relationship with donald trump.f outsourced the political partnership between senate republicans, committees who endorse trump early but the key is senator mcconnell says he will backac the nominee. if donald trump who looks like the severe favorite to becomewh the nominee wins nomination it seems like he will at least get that pro-form endorsement from its mcconnell even m though they could not be more different and they are totally unaligned on big issues. >> will the former president care if mitch mcconnell endorses him? >> look, i really know if that's an endorsement trump would want. this point is been calling for mcconnell to go as leader for several years. he encouragednn rick scott senar from florida to challenge mitch mcconnell last year. rick scotttt did challenge but lost handily, yet just the challenge and the backing of ten other senators has kind of created an ongoing split in the republican party in the senate. i don't know that trump wants that endorsement added don't know that mitch mcconnell is nec

mitch, how do you see it? what's your assessment of these bank earnings, mitch?you know, the only one trading higher is jp morgan. this is what we usually see, vp morgan is the safe harbor in the storm and it continues to churn out strong numbers, has been doing so under jamie's watch, he's been ceo since 2005. >> one of the numbers that cheryl t rattled out earlier was b of a adding over $1 billion to their loan loss reserves. and that's the thing that sort of frightens me the most. the consumer has over a trillion dollars worth of credit card debt and i think that's one of the bigger bubbles out there that nobody's paying enough attention to. if the economy begins to falter and inflation rears its ugly head again, i think that we're going to see more and more defaults on consumer debt and we may -- we've already started to see this in residential mortgages, foreclosures ticking back up again. so i think there are a fair amount of headwinds for these banks. jp morgan may be bigger and better diversified than the more consumer oriented banks but i do think it's a

history i was outspent 3 - 1 and i ended up winning by less than three points, mitch mcconnell spentmillion nationwide in senate races, due to how much he spent in texas, 0, not 1 penny i'm in a very tough reelection race in texas, the democrats, chuck schumer has made clear on the number one target the democrats intend to spend over $100 million to defeat in texas we just had a poll last week that showed a one point race and yet we can expect mitch again not suspended money to defend me which means the only way that we hold on as if the folks watching the show go to ted cruz.org right now, go online to ted cruz.org and make a contribution of five, ten, $100 because my race and my support is not from the big money special interest in washington, d.c. it is from constitutional conservatives across the country you go to ted cruz.org and to help give me the resources to withstand $100 million from the left wing democrats and marxist were trying to invade this country and destroy this country. mark: when we come back and you tell me why nikki haley is running for president what are the t

so i couldn't disagree more with mitch mcconnell on that point. is he suggesting that we must act to do it. no, mr. mcconnell. joe biden must act. he has the power. he just doesn't want to do it. >> laura: so this means senator ron johnson, holly, rand paul, you, vance, i mean, there is a core grouch senators who are still standing up for the american workers, they -- y'all got to stick together. and everyone can call their senator and respectfully let their voice be heard. senator, i understand that you have decided whom you are going to endorse in the republican primary. are you going to share it with us tonight. >> yeah. i have made that decision. and as i get that that, i want to be clear, this is a choice. the american people have a choice to make. in this circumstance, they have a rare historically unusual chance to choose between two presidents. they have a chance to choose between order and lawlessness. the opportunity of putting america first or america last. i choose first and always to put america first. look, whether you like donald tr

. >>> in washington now, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell is reportedly shifting his stance on the bipartisan national security package that he once publicly supported. that bill currently links southern border security measures to foreign aid to ukraine, israel, and taiwan. in a closed door conference meeting yesterday the minority leader reportedly said that gop opposition to border provisions may now make it harder to pass foreign aid funding if they are indeed linked. a source familiar with the ongoing negotiations tells nbc news there is concern that a significant number of gop members are simply not interested in striking a deal when it comes to immigration. my friends at punch bowl news also reporting that mcconnell doesn't want to take the immigration issue away from former president trump's presidential campaign. mcconnell per punch bowl reportedly told republicans we don't want to do anything to undermine him, we're in a quandary. this is a moment to remind everyone that mitch mcconnell despite his vocal opposition to some things donald trump has done has said he will

>> no, i think ultimately it's interesting that you played that footage of mitch mcconnell, because mitch mcconnell is the person probably most responsible in the republican party for the fact that donald trump is still this dominant figure. because, as we all remember, you floated the idea that he would vote to convict. and then at the last minute, kind of made up this cockamamie excuse to avoid doing it, because he thought he would take some heat from the base. and you probably thought donald trump would just disappear. a mistake that no one in the republican party has made to date. so i think that house republicans mostly, really firmly behind trump, there's a growing number of very pro trump senate republicans, but most of them just tolerate him. they need him to win, they need his money, and they're just going to abide by this and stay silent for as much as humanly possible. i'm sure for the msnbc reporters, if they were to grab these people, the republican senators, they'd say i didn't hear that. they would refused to comment on it, to avoid talking about it. because it's in their i

that's john thune also. >> mitch mcconnell at one point. >> punch bowl news is also reporting that mitch he reportedly told republicans, quote, we don't want to do anything to undermine him. we're in a quandary. >> they're going to allow fentanyl to flow across the border over the next year and allow illegal immigrants to flow over the border for the next year, when they all were saying a week ago before donald trump stepped in, the best border security bill ever. now they're saying they're going to kill it. trump is saying i want to economy to crash too. >> symone sanders townsend joins us. what changed? >> mitch mcconnell in this private meeting said the quiet part out loud to republicans in the senate, that the politics have changed because donald trump coming out of new hampshire, in their eyes, is basically the nominee of the party. never mind that he has not reached the required number of delegates yet. never never mind nikki haley is still in the race and she sees a path. this is devastating. i was hearing about this last night and early this morning. i was shocked. i'm shocked fo

maria: so the problem is mitch mcconnell?rities of the american people, we need to be sure that mcconnell and all a of the senate republicans understand that the majority of american people say the number one problem in the united states whether they live in texas or somewhere else is that open border to the south because we're all feeling as you know in new york the pain of 10 million people arriving here i illegally over the last three years. maria: i spoke with lieutenant governor dan patrick yesterday and he said it's rippling through towns across our country. watch this. >> i've been studying this for 15 years. i track it by the year, pretty much. in 2016, we were averaging about 435,000 apprehensions most years. think about that. per year. and in december we had 300,000 alone. so under joe biden, we know the apprehensions, the people who come across the bridge and turn themselves in, want asylum, 90% don't call you phi for it, we'll be -- qualify for it, we'll be somewhere around 8 million with the got aways at the end

>> no, i think ultimately it's interesting you played that footage of mitch mcconnell because mitch mcconnell is probably the person most responsible in the republican party that donald trump is still this figure. because as we all remember he floated the idea to convict, and at the last minute made up this cockamamie excuse to avoid doing it and i think he thought trump would disappear. i think house republicanps mostly really firmly behind trump. there's a growing number of very pro-trump senate republicans, but most of them sort of tolerate him. they need him to win, need his money, and they're just going to abide by this and stay silent for as much as humanly possible. i'm sure for the msnbc capitol hill reporters if they were to grab these people, they would say i didn't hear that. they would refuse to comment on it to avoid talking about it. >> do you think that this -- trump has made hey of all these trials because he thinks it's good for fund-raising and burnishing his profile. that's a double-edged sword. but he's fund-raising off of this, and i wonder what you think the continuation

of the foundation together, yes klein, comments to kateryna lisunova, come on let's listen senator mitch mcconnell, who has always been a very strong supporter of ukraine, just earlier this week said that we have to agree on aid to ukraine, we have to reach an agreement on the border, we already... this evening he is reported to be saying: president trump wants to run for office this year, bringing up the issue of immigration, and we don't want to obstruct him, we don't want to solve the immigration issue and get rid of an issue that he, trump, can build a campaign on, that's an amazing reversal of mcconnell's position. julia, however, it appears now, it appears now , that there is no unity on this issue, even within the republican party of those... the reports we're seeing from capital hill, including midromney, sen., r-suite, say that any intervention by trump in a way that is terrifying. other senators are saying that cutting off negotiations on the southern border security agreement, and thus potential funding for ukraine, would be simply tragic right now. other senators, for example

mitch rachelle, thanks for being here. come back in again. the hottest housing markets going into the new year. which once fell to the bottom of the list. neil: hope you like stu, it is predicted to be buffalo, new york where the median home price is 248,455. the real estate website is a low says affordability is the most powerful driving real estate issue which would benefit market in the great lakes and midwest. buffalo comes in number one followed by cincinnati, columbus, ohio, indianapolis rounding out the top five with providence, rhode island. on the other end of the scale, the coolest housing markets where prices are expected to decline, predicted to be new orleans, san antonio, denver, houston, minneapolis. some of those are in the midwest, south, either way those markets are not considered hot this year. on the upside mortgage rates are starting to decline which by all accounts housing inventory is expected to grow, to follow up on what mitch was saying, really low inventory. not enough houses. stuart: thanks very much. very interest

mitch mcconnell is a disgrace. >> do you want to see a new republican leader in the u.s. senate?e we have to have that. no, we have to have that. >> and asking him again, he's gone on to blame his wife with racists posts, calling her saying she's a taiwanese immigrant. she calls her china loving coco chau. does mcconnell want to serve as republican leader if trump is president again? do you think he'll serve as leader? what do you think? >> he's pointsedly said he's not going to run as leader again. he said after those health scares that he would serve the remainder of his leadership term. >> declined to say whether or not he would continue. >> right. exactly. so that's what sparked all of this succession talk. that's why you have john co cornin's name up there. you have bourasso and thune takin taking mcconnell's side. you can see all of this playing out and part of that is because of that in the decision on whether mcconnell will run again. i have a hard time believing he would serve as leader with trump as president. it would require him to go back on the many things he said a

mitch mcconnell has survived a long time.rategist and tactician, but what's his role here, and what's his power or lack thereof in the republican party? >> well, his power is that he still controls the republican senate and he has a lot of respect from his colleagues there, and i think it's becoming clear from people who really want to solve the problem on the republican side that this is an active and actionable solution that's on the table, and i think, again, i'd hate to be in a, you know, fight and fumble with mitch mcconnell, and that's where rick scott is right now. i'll take mitch mcconnell any day. >> mark mckinnon, always good to see you. >>> former president trump's meeting with the teamsters just wrapped up and he gave a brief statement afterwards. let me bring in nbc's garrett haake, what can you tell us. >> reporter: it's probably the lengthiest. he hit on a number of topics, including the border bill. the bill has not been made public yet, described it as a terrible bill, went on to say it would be a huge mistak

it is for mitch mcconnell.tunately, here i think that he does not necessarily represent the full republican party. i would say that i'm quite happy that i worked for richard burr and didn't go to commit donald trump in the second impeachment trial. butthis is the world of donald trump takes us. to the argument is essential that trump and his -- trump lawyers were making today that if a sitting president, say joe biden, wanted to assassinate a political rival, that would be okay if the senate felt like it was okay. clearly that's not just wrong but that's insane political theory. >> as someone who lives in washington, no one thinks seal team six would actually follow through with an order like that. but the idea that that was the prospect that was raised, that it's up to the senate and that body to hold president accountable. it's an extreme example but i go back to january 6th because a lot of people probably thought january six was never gonna happen. we're living with extremes and really being led by donald t

where was mitch mcconnell? any senior leadership when the biden administration wasla making a laughing stock out of all of us on the border issue? so anything drafted by some chamber of commerce punky on immigration is meaningless. alejandro mayorkas will simply take the money andmo use it to settle migrants in the united states more quickly, moro efficiently. isn't that great ?kf republicans should get out of ridiculous negotiations. we invited senator lankford whoy is reportedly leading these nctalks but he could not join u but he did say once the full text is out, you will come heren s.and answer all of our questio. i look forward to thatankl interview. look, there was nothing personal towards him or frankly anyone. this is an issue of our countryr anond that is preservation. but we strongly recommend that langford refused to be the facke of the spirit asked marco rubio how that worked out for him, what was that 2019? imagin ie the audience in a town hall oklahoma city and langford was from oklahoma. let's s

where was mitch mcconnell and any, frankly in the senate leadership when the biden administration wasaking a laughingstock out of all of us on the issue of the border? anything drafted by some chamber of commerce flunky on immigration is meaningless. mayorkas will simply take the money and use it to settle migrants in the united states more quickly, more efficiently. isn't that great? so republicans should get out of these ridiculous negotiations. we invited senator lankford onto the show tonight. is he reportedly leading these talks but he could not join us. he did say though that once the full text is out, he is going to come here and answer all of our questions. i look forward to that interview. look, there is nothing personal toward him or frankly anyone. this is an issue of our country and its preservation. but we strongly recommend that lankford refuse to be the face of this. ask marco rubio how that worked out for him? what was that back in 2013? imagine this audience, the audience' reaction in a town hall in oklahoma city, remember, lankford is the senator from oklahoma. let's

it is for mitch mcconnell. unfortunately, here i think he doesn't necessarily represent the full republican party. i'd say i'm quite happy that i worked for richard burr, who did vote to convict donald trump in the second impeachment trial. but this is sort of the world that donald trump takes us to. the argument essentially that trump and his lawyers -- or trump's lawyers were making today that is if a sitting president, say, joe biden, wanted to assassinate a political rival, who might his political rivals be, that would be okay if the senate felt that was okay. clearly that's not just wrong, that's clearly insane political theory. >> just as someone who lives in work work i wonder -- that moment, yes, it is a hypothetical. i think that's really important. no one thinks seal team 6 would actually follow through with an order like that. but the idea that that was the prospect that was raised, this idea that it's up to the senate, that body, to hold presidents accountable. >> well, it's an extreme example but i

even mitch mcconnell has surrendered to vladimir putin anti-semitic to donald trump. the floor speeches, the photo ops, constant attacks from republicans always done in bad faith. and everyone can see that this is not about securing the border. this was never about this was never about protecting our country. just like the basis in peace basis impeachment the maga republicans a pretend to care about, , it is always been about helping donald trump become president again. i want to be very clear. house democrats will fight with everything we have to make sure that that doesn't happen. vice chair ted lieu. >> thank it at the meeting we just had, chairman aguilar recognize three u.s. service members were killed and many were going to soar to support for amazing military and the families that were affected by this unjustified strike by iranian backed militants. now, terms of the economy, we had some amazing news this month or early this month s&p 500 hit a record high. last week the dow jones exceeded 38,000 for the first time in u.s. history. just yesterday the dow jones

it is one mitch mcconnell.the senate minority leader for playing the administration like a fiddle. he is mvp in a terrible, terrible way. for having agreed with house republicans that yes, the only way to get the eu ukraine israel, taiwan borders of her 80, is if you attach more immigration stuff to it. but now that trump has come out and said, no i do not want this because it will take this issue off the table. mitch mcconnell is telling his fellow republicans, so maybe we don't get it. maybe the politics have changed. maybe the wind has shifted. so, for him to have wasted everyone's time like this? it's just truly phenomenal senatorial work on his part i would say. just the most mitch mcconnell that you can be is to take an issue that you actually care about and dump it because you think you might win in the fall. >> nobody knows politics quite like mitch mcconnell. that's one for you chris. >> can we do something joyful? >> yes. >> tara vanderveer, the stanford women's basketball coach. who is now the most w

mitch mcconnell, that was tough. i think he did better than i'm doing right now when he had a stroke during his speech. to be honest, i think he got more laughs that i'm getting right now. can we bring him up here? that's how old people are. get nobody even notice, man. mitch, stop talking for 3 minutes. you know what i mean? he just won't. everyone's like, it's okay. mitch passes away every day for. 3 minutes. that's just. that's just how it goes. i got already. so i'm really just doing eight more minutes. it's while biden's not doing great. can we agree on that? can we talk about how old biden is? joe biden could be the first president to be assassinated by ti. you told me to go soft. that's not working. i'm going hard. whose cocaine was that in the white house? does anybody know? are you guys recording on that stuff? does anybody know whose cocaine that was? yours? can i have some right now? i think it was joe biden's cocaine. i really do. here's my theory, right? i think i think biden has his aides take the cocai
