guest: this is another issue that might divide paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. republicans tend to be pro-trade, but something this day in a lot of these populist districts and blue-collar districts, many of which are controlled by -- republicans, will be a tough vote. paul ryan's thinking is that they have not committed to this, but the house republicans do want to bring this up for a vote and mcconnell doesn't and would rather kick it until after the election or until the next presidency. it is one of those wait and see type issues, but it is a very regional issue that does not bring along party lines because it concerns so many jobs and manufacturing and environmental. every interest group out there you can imagine is involved because it is so big and so it breaks down by region. host: this is steve from new york, republican line. caller: i had a couple of questions. adnow that ted cruz's latest was on eminent domain and i was disappointed because the ad was a complete fabrication. bulldozed that trump a poor old woman's house for a casino parking lot but in

the speaker than it was when it was a little tougher on harry reid as the minority leader or mitch mcconnell as the majority leader. it's a little tougher on them because we have grown so far apart and so leadership for chemistry can encourage, you touched on a couple of it in the conversation. that kind of unraveled a little bit more and just give some sense of what you all have to deal with as the leader of your respective conferences and what mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and here he reid and nancy pelosi today are dealing with. >> one of the things that's different today even though it was back then it is much worse now. it's just the constant need for fundraising in order to stay viable politically and what that means is that members get on more committees they can't serve on and do the kind of job they should because they are spread so thin that each committee has its own constituency and therefore its own fundraising base. the amount of money in my last race my last race was $15 million. the last two senate races in 2012 and 2014 or $120 million. and they are now talking about $150 mi

it's a little tough on harry reid as the majority -- minority leader or mitch mcconnell gets tougher on them because leadership and courage and the spread of things you are talking about and you touched on leadership little bit of the conversation. but i kind of unraveled a little bit more. just give us some sense of what you all have to deal with in the respective conferences and what mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and hairy reid and nancy pelosi today are dealing with. >> one of the things i think is different today even though it was bad then it is much worse now. it's just the constant need to fund raise in order to stay viable politically. and what that means is that members get on more committees which they can't serve on and deal with the kind of job they should because they are spread thin. each committee has its own constituency and fundraising base. the amount of money my last race was $50 million. the last senate race in 2012 and 2014 were $120 million. they are now talking about $150 million in the senate race. so, it's just the incredible and insatiable demand for more an

senate republican leader mitch mcconnell said last year it was too controversial. adding president obama shouldn't send it in until after elections, but that could mean the new president would have to be on board as well. but mcconnell could be reconsidering according to iowa senator chuck grassley, "since then, i've heard senator willing to bring it up before the election. beyond that i don't have anything to report except the general proposition, which is what i think senator mcconnell was speaking to. it's pretty difficult to get sub- controversial things through the senate and the house when you've got a presidential election year." house speaker paul ryan says he wants to bring up the trade deal as our top story... a looming jackpot is bigger than ever this morning... no winning ticket sold yesterday... which ups the stakes from 500 to 675 million. that has people flooding convenience stores to press their luck... the only ticket to come close to 675 million was sold back in 2012... at 656 million. this morning more doubt is being cast on north korea's claim i
