was nothing that mitch mcconnell could do about it.ever been a more powerless majority leader of the senate than mitch mcconnell in his relationship with the president. any republican majority leader could have rammed through the judicial confirmations that mitch mcconnell has rammed through the senate. that's the easy part of the job. every other part of mitch mcconnell's job is made impossibly difficult or just plain impossible by the worst and most erratic president in history. why, why would mitch mcconnell want more of this, especially when kentucky has no gratitude for the job that he's been doing in the senate. polling shows that mitch mcconnell has a 33% approval rating in kentucky. that is a deadly approval rating for an incumbent senator. 61% of kentucky voters say that mitch mcconnell has been there too long, and it's time for someone new. mitch mcconnell is already the longest serving senator in kentucky history. kentucky is done with mitch mcconnell if democrats can find the right candidate to run against him, like possibl

what is mitch mcconnell attempting to do? >> mcconnell wants to change the senate rules to limit the amount of time that it would take to debate judges, not number these to be judges or subcabinet positions. this would not apply to the supreme court. mcconnell wants to limit debate ,rom 30 hours to two hours which would speed up how many nominees pres. trump: get to the senate. seven approved three dozen nominees. why does mitch mcconnell this change is necessary? sec: spencer: there are two things -- guest: there are two things going on. mitch mcconnell thinks there have not been enough nominees approved. he has accused democrats of obstruction. side, somer observers believe this is an attempt to go nuclear, to set up a vote on the entire nuclear option. mitch mcconnell need 60 votes to approve this rules change which he may not get because he would be democrats to vote with the. -- him. they have directed they are going to change the rules of the mean theyirely to would only need 50 votes to get nominees through. he would n

he has accused mitch mcconnell of essentially hypocrisy, saying that when mcconnell was in the minorityared so much about minority rights and now that he is in the majority, he wants to throttle the minority's ability to have any say in the legislation or nominees in the senate, so i don't expect that this is going to be handled amicably, and certainly if it gets to the point of invoking a nuclear option, this is going to be a really huge deal in the senate. arever in the house, they set to take up the reauthorization of the violence against women act. this law do, and why does it need to be reauthorized? >> this is a law that essentially tries to eliminate domestic violence by setting up a certain grant program and other funding for programs that handle domestic violence issues. it needs to be reauthorized because it expired in february. oftentimes, this becomes part of a year-end spending deal package , and the republicans and democrats get together and vote it,he bill to reauthorize but it actually expired at the end of last year over some disagreements about how to this bill, but ot

so mitch mcconnell says, here's a policy. look at this idea that some people interpret as too radical. you know, democrats have control of the house, not because they elected liberals, they elected moderates in battleground districts in colorado, new mexico, virginia, michigan. and when you talk to some of those democrats the past couple weeks. we want to address climate change, but that plan by alexandria ocasio-cortez is too far left. interest there things we can do to address climate change that are more moderate, won't cost the money so much? some confided to me that is the approach they like to v there are bills and proposals they're working on but it doesn't get the attention the green new deal did because alexandria ocasio-cortez is behind it. melissa: there is one side that thinks that climate change is existential threat right away. there is the other thing who thinks boy, we use a lot of carbon-based products for all kinds of stuff in our life, it would destroy a lot of lives to do what she said. chad, thank you. >>

how can you best understand who mitch mcconnell is? >> he is very much that. he seems stoic but he is funny and focused. if he has something he wants to get done, he will focus on it. he will remind you about it over and over until it is done. he plans things out far in advance and he does not care about which way the wind is blowing or what is happening around him. he will get it done. he is funny, he has a dry wit that you rarely see. but he is humorous and he cares deeply about his people. his kentuckians, family, staff. i have seen empathy in him which is rare in most people. he does not brag about, he does not talk about it a lot. but i have had problems and he has called me and walked me through it and handled it quietly. he did not make a big scene out of it. he is very empathetic and very funny. and supersmart. i always tell staffers be careful what you tell your boss because they remember it. if you tell him a fact or figure or an anecdote, that is locked in and he will remember it forever. very clever and very smart. he could tell you about any distr
