, and mitch mcconnell is currently getting booed.isten in. >> pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and procedures of this convention, kentucky, 46 votes president trump. >> reporter: we're going to -- we're going to go back and try to find mcconnell. let's go this way. as you just said, as i hear i'm being told we're going to try and find the senate majority leader as he makes his way out of here. of course this is big, of course mitch mcconnell had suggested that when he was among those republican senators not to vote to convict donald trump after his impeachment there after the january 6th attack, he made it clear that the u.s. justice system would be able to make the ultimate call, and it wasn't for the u.s. congress. if he had done that there, could have been the punishment that this day would have never happened again, if mitch mcconnell had voted with a couple other, there were five other republican senators that voted to convict donald trump. one of the punishments would have been barring the former pre

watch mitch mcconnell, who was once the embodiment really was the video bodyman establishment republican party has been the leader longer than any senate leader in history. what happened yesterday when he was on the floor of the convention hall chairman the commonwealth tukey proudly cast 46 votes. >> and the next president donald trump and those were boos, as you can hear it, but also the fact that mean mcconnell is someone who had sharply criticized trump after january 6, barely could say his name in the months and months ahead, trump. >> we had a whole back and forth with him attacking his wife and ultimately, mcconnell endorsed him. but what do you think this moment means for the gop for that wing of the party when jd vance is ascension is the number two for people like in the republican establishment, like mitch mcconnell yeah. >> i mean, we've been at this for awhile together covering it. i don't think we've in our lifetime witness any political figure who's been able to take over an entire party, one that he wasn't part of when he came in in 2016 and reinvented literally reinvent

this civil liabilities may still -- again, i'm going to yield my time to lisa but mitch mcconnell was not prescient. he knows a lot about politics. he knows a lot about the supreme court. he clearly did not know which way the supreme court was going to rule on this idea of absolute immunity for official acts, so the big caveat there for senator mcconnell, i think then he was majority leader. no, he wasn't, still minority leader mitch mcconnell, he was not making a distinction between criminal and civil. the court clearly did and the courts make a distinction between official and unofficial acts, but again i will yield to lisa here. i still don't know what constitutes an official act, and where the gray area is, and i certainly don't think mitch mcconnell knew at the time but that is just a question i have. i don't know. >> lisa, hans is looking for an upgrade. can you finish us off? >> i think hans is going to have to continue to look because this decision enunciates some really basic principles but it certainly does not offer guidance. just dumps a big mess and judge tanya check and

minority leader mitch mcconnell, he wasn't making a distinction between criminal and civil. the court, clearly, did, and the court is making a distinction between official and unofficial acts, but again, i yield to lisa. i still don't know what constitutes an official act, and where the gray area is, and i, certainly, don't think that mitch mcconnell knew at the time. it's just a question i have. i don't know. >> lisa, hans is looking for an upgrade. can you finish us off? >> i think hans is going to have to continue to look, because this decision enunciates some basic principles, but it does not offer a lot of guidance. it dumps a big mess in judge tanya chutkan's lap. it says, it's up to you to assess what is official, versus private, and it, certainly, says that for example, she should look to the context and content of what is going on, but there are other things that she can't look at at all. for example, she can't look at what former president trump's motive or purpose was in executing certain actions and evaluating whether they were official or unofficial, so the reas

when mitch mcconnell was booed, it was notable.quickly left along with the former secretary, his wife, out of the arena. i think that is telling about j.d. vance in the pull he were to have if he were to get into the vice presidential role if they have ape senate and house majority, they will be able to deck tate along with speaker johnson the agenda in a different way in which the 2017 -- the way paul ryan was operating, he had disagreements over what policies should be enacted with the republican majority. i think that's the contrast you could see this go around with j.d. vance very much of the maga wing of the republican party on capitol hill being the one effectively being the messenger and liaison with the donald trump white house. >> in any other year, paul ryan, if things had been different, paul ryan would be a big deal. wisconsin is his state. the former running mate, nowhere to be seen. vaughn hillyard, thank you. we look forward to your reporting. he with me now is former republican national committee communications dire

you had the establishment of long serving republicans like mitch mcconnell leading one faction and theer arrivals into the senate and congress maybe opposing support to ukraine and certainly more skeptical on the traditional leadership role around the world. given that, how do you see donald trump messaging america's role in the world on foreign policy? >> i think that one of the ways to be a successful president is to have america be viewed as a successful country in the world and i think that both of these candidates know that. i don't believe trump is an isolationist on the order of some of the people who are true on the republican party. very concerning. but i don't think that he actually is. we will have to see how the administration shakes out if he wins. but i think as important as what he might do if he were to be elected, what is happening in the congress is equally if not more important, and here's why. the vote on the foregoing aid package was overwhelmingly bipartisan and overwhelmingly showed people who were willing to stand up for america's role in the world can win these

thank you for not wearing mitch mcconnell's jacket. >> i thought about it. a little too early. >> let's talk about the president's proposal here. when he entered office he put together a commission designed to put together proposals to reform the code, and that's largely seen as a punt. he wanted to get it off his plate. now he's got a couple months left of his time in office and going full bore saying we need to reform the court. explain the shift and why this came about. >> yeah, sure this is a substantial shift for joe biden, an institutionalist, someone who three years ago just kind of dismissed these calls to reform the corn. it's a decision he's gone to really over time but for a couple of reasons. one, we've seen a lot of landmark cases he's deeply frustrated by. one, overturning roe v. wade, the big one. we saw the trump case he saw a real dereliction of duty from the court. secondly we've had these scandals from clarence thomas, samuel alito that undermines public confidence and shows a lack of enforceable accountability. that's where you get a lot

you see mitch mcconnell, mike pence.these up here is that every day, every decision like this from the supreme court here, we're just four months out. all of this brings question marks about what a second trump term would look like. >> the question is how he uses the doj, the supreme court decision says he's wholly immune in his dealings with the justice department. you can't question it. you can't bring it up as evidence. it is absolute immunity for the president to deal with other members of the executive branch. they cite the attorney general, the acting attorney general in this opinion. if he's putting up pictures like that, saying that these people should be prosecuted, there is an open question of whether he would use his doj to perform political prosecutions. >> right, there is long standing precedent that the president is separate from the prosecution and investigation of his department of justice, and now, not only could he potentially interfere with cases directly involving him, but he could potentially order h

senate minority leader mitch mcconnell voiced his opposition while accusing democrats of leading an all-outn against the corpuscular legitimacy. majority leader chuck schumer spoke in support of changes to the supreme court, saying he is already considering drafting legislation clarifying the president is not immune from violating federal law. under attack. prominent democrats say it must do what they want and not what the laws and constitution require. they've incited violence against the court. we've had to put justices under 24/7 police protection. even so, a deranged young man is about to go on trial for trying to kill a justice and his family while they slept in order to change the outcome of a case. in polling last year, the court was the branch of government with the highest level of trust from the public, but that hasn't stopped democrats from devoting the last eight years to an all-out campaign against the court's legitimacy and ultimately against its very existence. radical liberals have called for court-packing. influential members of this body, including the senior senator from

furthermore, mitch mcconnell with whom he shared a good relationship with before he got to the senate.d. vance has clashed head on with mcconnell. in elevating vance, he has taken vance at the top of the next republican generation, somebody who most certainly at some point will run for president and be vice president if trump wins. he bears no resemblance of the mitt romney and other presidential candidates who believed in the traditional republican and conservative values,nd vance does not. >> carlos, who do you think vance is going to attct? >> well, josÉ, it looks like it's about the blue wall. donald trump knows that biden's one path to remaining in power is to put up that democratic ue wall in the midwest, and j.d. vance being a midwesterner can maybe help donald trump make further gains with blue-collar voters in that area. i don't think vance will add many votes, but it's a big projection of confidence. this is not about just winning this election, but it's about continuing this movement. it reminds us that donald trump and those close to him view emselves as part of a movement

mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy did that. mitch mcconnell, could be one person, right?efers trump criminally, but because of mitch mcconnell's role in manipulating the makeup of the supreme court, what mitch mcconnell thought should happen to donald trump for january 6 will not happen to donald trump or anyone else. for a president for criminal prosecution ever again because of what mitch mcconnell did to the united states supreme court. kevin mccarthy is getting punked every day at the convention by matt gaetz. don't get between mccarthy and a camera because he wants to tell anyone listening that matt gaetz did terrible things, had sex with an underage girl and should be prosecuted. doj looked at that case and it did not happen. that is because bill barr was there. it is a case merrick garland inherited and who knows why it wasn't brought, but everything that has come to pass is also the fault or primarily the fault of the republican party. >> there is donald trump walking out on stage. to accept the nomination of the republican party for president for the third time.

minority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky.e was one of the people introducing donald trump as he was heading toward the republican nomination yesterday. that comes after mitch mcconnell's biggest critic after the capitol attack back in 2021. these are always moments where the party begins to coualesce. i think all of the parts of the republican party may start to work together as they look to beat joe biden in november. >> let's talk about the debate then. it possibly could happen. i know kamala harris has set out an invite to j.d. vance for a debate and on the back of this. how do you see the 39-year-old senator from ohio faring when you have what is still, despite what anybody might say, a well versed political giant that is kamala harris? >> yeah. he is a versed speaker. he's able to go out and form arguments that trump would make and in a bit of a softer way if he wants to and that is not the role of the vice presidential running mate. the vice presidential running mate is traditionally known as the attack dog. kamala harr

to foreshadow what might happen in the election, mitch mcconnell will no longer be the leader. he will be unburdened, unleashed and a senior member of the appropriations committee. i know everyone in this room knows what a great asset that will be to the people who believe that we can deter the enemies of freedom with hard and soft power. -- i am just telling you, as much as what the next president does, whoever it is, you are going to have a raging bull in the u.s. senate appropriations committee , buying up all the hard and soft power anybody can find. that is a great thing. i am as interested in these congressional elections as i am anything. i think you will continue to see true bipartisanship in congress on this topic. >> we look forward to that. donna, on the democratic side, it's a little bit different. it sometimes about the prioritization of foreign- policy versus domestic. democrats largely got behind president biden when he came to the ukraine vote. in election years, where d.c. democratic candidate and voters coming out on this choice, sometimes, on where we are pri

they're not going to give up this governing majority under any circumstances, and mitch mcconnell inas long as republicans are holding a majority in the senate or a decent minority, mitch mcconnell will lay down in front of a train to stop any reform of the supreme court. that's his magnum opus. so look, i think all these reforms are absolutely necessary. i think the ethics reform question has really been the source of why the supreme court has fallen so far in the estimation of the american people when you see the lavish corruption of people like clarence thomas. you understand that if we have a separate or a coequal branch of government that is easily corrupted by buying people rvs and paying off their houses and stuff like that, you're going to end up with a court that cannot keep the faith of the american people in its impartiality. that was always its greatest strength. i think the court should welcome these reforms. the court should be asking or doing this on its own, but it clearly cannot make it -- it clearly cannot get to the point where it will reform its own behavior. >> s

who are defended have sided with the strained rhetoric, and especially with mike johnson and mitch mcconnellontinue to down play what happened on january 6th and on january 6th, january 7th, they know what was possible, and they did so on the floor of the chamber, and to even state that the former president will face the justice system once he left office and today the supreme court had a line with the same sentiment with mike johnson and mitch mcconnell, and not to hold the president accountable for. nobody wants to hold donald trump accountable for his actions, and they continue to down play, whitewash, and excuse his criminal conduct, and that's insane. that is very disappointing, and it is a desecration of the sacrifice that the officers like myself performed on january 6th. it's very troubling. because all the guardrails of democracy, the pillar of our judicial system where in the past has been said that no one is above the law, including the former president, and today's decision, they show otherwise that, yes, there is somebody who is above the law, and that's the president. while the

let's take a look at the disunity on the republican side, the leader of the senate. mitch mcconnell will not be speaking of the main stage that yesterday, when he was delivering his votes from kentucky to the convention floor. he was booed by the other republicans, the leader of the republicans in the senate. 40 of 44, a cabinet secretaries that donald trump had will not support him. this time around dawn from his at 44 cabinet secretaries including the vice president by supposedly supporting him. but he won't be on that stage. and he isn't the vice president. one of the biggest news of the vice president candidate, one of the biggest new stories coming out of yesterday was the announcement of judy vance as the best friends from domini. when i tell people politics were rising up to the ranks at, you know, whether they should apply or take a job. i always saw them ask why the job was vacant and the 1st place. this is the 1st time and need years then a president running again for election hasn't chosen their vice presidential candidate. that seat is vacant because pens will not run with tr

politically. >> ls ettore johnson about that their number provisions are republicans including mitch mcconnelled up in the final product thought there was something they could not but were there and they could not vote move forward. >> we know it they didn't before the move for because donald trump swooped and he said i don't want joe biden to get a win pickwick to found it was a flawed piece of legislation are too many loopholes and other things i cannot support this is how "washington post" described the border situation at legal border crossing sword in the months after biden took office immediately rolled back many trump era restrictions. they going to the people taken a custody by the us border patrols the highest levels in the agencies 100 year history under biden averaging 2 million per year there's a lot of attributes or to the fact there were dozens of things done under the trump administration this administration rolled back vice president harris as part of this administration and had a leading role according to mainstream media on handling the border. >> let's get real paired border

. >> mitch mcconnell said so. >> mitch mcconnell said so, at least the supreme court says that, but go back to the fact that they wrote this opinion the way they wrote it on the facts of this indictment makes it so clear to me that it is not written for the ages. >> let's bring in neal katyal. neal. >> i want to return to this point from the dissent about the impact of this decision today on our democracy, and you know, in response to chuck, and chuck's absolutely right, the majority says there will be case-by-case hearings to determine whether something is an official act or not. i just don't think -- and i agree here with the dissent -- that that's any sort of protection here. we've never needed those kinds of case-by-case hearings before. we've always just assumed a president is not above the law. and in these hearings, these case-by-case hearings as lisa points out, you can't even introduce any evidence of a president's motive, why he was trying to do something like pressure the justice department or do whatever, and there will be a presumption in favor of the president. as justice

that in arrival in the house, the minority leader in the senate is connecting the same thing, mitch mcconnell ed, the president that he wants term limits, -- never mind the advice and consent role of the senate. president biden has left its as alex like the current composition of the court so they want to try the constitution change it back with the president actually proposing is a soft process for people other then the justice system -- assistances i'm taking a leap her folks i'm assuming that senator mitch mcconnell is a maybe on all of this. mike emanuel on the political fallout from all of this. michael? >> high, neil. that from my campaign has pointed me to something the former president wrote earlier this month, former president trump called president biden criticizing the trip report like working referee in sports, writing, older democrats are attempting to interfere in the presidential election and destroy our justice system by attacking their political opponents, me, no portable court -- supreme court. we have to fight for our prayer and invented court and protect our country's." of

prime minister invited to capitol hill by house speaker mike johnson and senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. dozens of democratic lawmakers skipping the speech, expressing their disapproval over the thousands of civilian deaths and the humanitarian crisis from the war. >> it will be the first time in american history that a war criminal has been given that honor. >> michigan representative rashida tlaib did attend. she's the only palestinian american in congress, and in the past has called for netanyahu's arrest. >> the prosecutor of the international criminal court has shamefully accused israel of deliberately starving the people of gaza. this is utter, complete nonsense. >> noticeably absent vice president kamala harris, president of the senate and republican vice presidential nominee senator jd vance, each of their teams saying they were attending previously scheduled events. prime minister also calling for stronger action against iran, which supports militant groups fighting israel. >> this is not a clash of civilizations. it's a clash between barbarism and civilization. >> outside the

mitch mcconnell is leaving. and that's going to happen a week after election day. my view i have stayed quite on this, i'm keeping my cards close to my best to liberally but i'm telling people he was running, what i'm most interested in is changing how the senate operates and in particular i'm going to bring it is something really weedy and wonky but then explain why it matters. what i'm saying trade one running for leader of the republicans in the senate is that of what the next majority leader to commit not to fill the tree. what does that mean? filling the tree is a parliamentary tool that blocks every amendment on any bill that a come up on the floor. for 200 years of our nation's history the way the senate worked, every senator at jew prerogatives, the prerogative of debate that you can speak an unlimited amount, and the prerogative of amendment. you could offer unlimited amendments. three majority leader, harry reid, mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer in did that. and all three of them now what did you with virtually every build a put a bill on the floor, they

unimpeded each month prison while mitch mcconnell got that wrong. this makes it even more troubling in the sense that the opportunity to hold him accountable according to then leader mcconnell, was that the only way we could do it is through impeachment? now we can't even do it through criminal prosecution for official x. so obviously the lower courts are going to weigh in on that line between official and unofficial. but the very notion that acts that fall within the duties of the president that could be executed for a corrupt purpose, will could not result in any criminal liability, creates an environment where somebody is above the law. the president becomes a king. in that, in that circumstance and it's just in comprehensible the supreme court could come to such a judgment after four centuries, us being of the belief that no person, even the president, is above the law. they have decided otherwise that's frightening. >> i do want to ask you one of the markers of many corrupt foreign governments that we watch is an administration the prosecutes th

the justice system can deal with this, but donald trump is out of office let's now and that was mitch mcconnell whole reason to vote against removal because donald trump's out of office. >> and now that's in the legal system. the problem is, is it's all about power with these folks. it's not about this understanding of what the rule of law is and what is ultimately going to happen if you determine a president can be immune. i mean, honestly and he'd never do it because he's a decent man. but if joe biden decided to use seal team six to go after his political rivals, according to this case, he may be justified in doing that. at least it would have to go to the supreme court to decide if he was justified in doing that. whereas 48 hours ago, america would have largely agreed that no president could do anything like that. >> i want to ask you about the presidential race. you mentioned joe biden, you endorsed him, right before the debate. another anti-trump republican stewart stevens. he's telling democrats to stop panicking. he wrote a really interesting piece in the new york times that said in par

the man we just saw, mitch mcconnell and in a perfect world which we live in a sadly imperfect world,ate to say that, but congress could fix all of this. congress can override a supreme court decision by simply legislating around it. congress can make whatever tweaks to the criminal justice system some that they want. again, the problem is that congress is hopelessly gridlock, right now, and it's sort of in a fantasy world like in the textbooks. yes, that's what would happen. but mcconnell, all of those idealistic visions he laid out there congress can do and could make happen. and the earliest are what tell you it's point, congress has ceded power. executive branch, regardless of who the president or the congress is. basically since the end of world war ii. so eisenhower, kennedy, johnson, nixon, all of them got more and more power which impact where we are today as process and it's not sexy but that's reality. >> so you mentioned richard nixon and i'm glad you did because i just want to flash back to what nixon said in 1977. i mean, if you're richard nixon wouldn't you want your pre

of administration andrd eliminatesi could say the same of the republic i could say the same of mitch mcconnelle cannot judge information that have the public make themselves look sicker than they were for outside policies. as fully cognitively intact to make the massive retaliation stronger. >> what is your assessment of how this situation has been handled by the white house? quick site not a politician i am a commentator. i do i think that we all remembr it no matter what the white house shares with us about the presidents help its goal is political. his goal is not transparency. i imagine political pundits whether or not done a good job of managing the political aspects. voters i would urge you to tune out anything you have from the white house. or tentatively any other political sources about the president's health. they simply do not know. >> are talking doctor jacob appel about the history of their presidents and health issues gives a call by party democrats two 202-748-8000. republicansnd 202-748-8001. an independence to 202-748-8000 two. start calling in now. do you think the white hous

you got remember mitch mcconnell's wife a cabinet secretary to she resigned the day after january 6, as well. so for a lot of republicans, i consider myself a reagan republican they didn't really have a role at all in, we'll will see what type of outreach they might have in the next couple of months you know, trump's speech at the beginning was very conciliatory speech milwaukee. it changed at the end so which prompted in which administration will it be michigan is one of those purple states he's going to have to reach out to the moderate if he intends to win here, but it's also clear signal to biden. they better get their act together one way or another. >> and michigan is the state that we are watching very closely today with that rally by the trump-vance ticket, former republican congressman fred upton. thank you very much for joining us you bet. still ahead. chaos and confusion as what could be the largest it outage in history shutters, businesses around the world when critical systems at airlines banks, and even hospitals could finally be fully online. that is the question we ar

. >> mitch mcconnell -- >> you can hear a number of boos here, that is a republican leader in the senatem kentucky, he's been a steadfast supporter but he has criticized him specifically after january 6th. >> he has clashed with senator vance repeatedly over foreign policy in the senate. >> norah: there we have it, let's go back down to the floor and tony dokoupil who is there. >> we saw that dancing one donald trump was pushed over the top in terms of the number of delegates. i'm here with to go up the biggest the dancers of all from the great state of florida, what's going through your mind now? >> i'm an american by choice, i've lived in this country for 46 years and i've lived the american dream. i am a legal american citizen and donald trump is going to save america and i love him. >> is that how you feel as well? >> i am a proud jewish-american first-generation republican voter. donald trump represents to me the restoration and preservation of judeo-christian principles that are threatened. >> thank you both very much, as i tossed back to the trump children are behind me if i get t

look, mitch mcconnell put an end to this. >> mcconnell is the guy. >> mitch mcconnell is the guy.le like rob portman, very highly respected senator, very smart guy, very accomplished guy. if just he had built up mitch mcconnell's back bone and a handful of these folks had done that, we wouldn't be here. but, you're right, mitch mcconnell was the key player, along with kevin mccarthy and mar-a-lago, there was his moment ten or 15 republicans of high stature could have stood together and said, you know what, thank you for your service, mr. president. enjoy the golf. but we're totally out. and we're doing this as a group. so, okay, we're going to get some crap, we're going to get excoriated. but we're going to spread out the risk. but they collapsed in the face of this fear. >> you know, at least, they could have talked about the riots, they could have talked about the anti-democratic, they also could have been very machiavellian about this as they went to other republican senators and said at that time, not only did donald trump foment this revolt, this riot, but he's the first pres
