mr. mcconnell: good afternoon, everyone. since we're going into a work period, i thought i'd just kind of recap my take on the last few weeks. bipartisan ndaa, which we think is extremely important. and obviously, you know, giving our democratic friends a vote on the udall amendment. rather bizarre situation. democratic leader found himself in. most of his conference wanted to vote on it today. but, as you know, there are intervening events last night and tonight that created the scheduling problem for them. so, i decided i'd accommodate that. not wildly enthusiastically greeted on my side. but we'll be voting for a period of time starting at some indeterminant moment in the morning. i know you all are anxious to find out when it starts. and when it ends. and i can't tell you with specificity right now but we're trying to accommodate them. the main part on the udall amendment is none of our democratic friends would be supporting this if it were a democratic president. this clearly restricts administration's of both -- admini

mr. mcconnell. you remember when he wanted to go public with russian meddling before the election. you were the president. it's your administration. but he went to mcconnell to make it a joint effort and he reportedly refused to make it a bipartisan message. that would wind up motivating a poor decision to keep it quite anyway. the bigger question is why does he walk? he claims first amendment when he called for exposure but even stand alone measures have gone nowhere. the answer may simply be because he and his side benefitted in 2016. could he even be counting in 2020? there's only one way to prove it. do something to secure the elections. >> now when we return, what should be done about kelly anne conway, the office of special counsel appointed by this president recommended something that we have never heard before. removal from government. for violations of the hatch act. a great dilemma and great debate, next. award winning interface. award winning design. award winning engine. the volvo xc90. the most awarded luxury suv of the century. but allstate actually helps you drive saf

mr. mcconnell was not alive for that, but he was alived for the electrocution of george stinney.was alive for the blinding of isaac woodward. >> professor patterson, it's an interesting question because a lot of americans don't sucpport the idea of reparation for one thing, i didn't do it. >> a couple things on that, ali. first of all, part of the issue for mcconnell is that we are responsible in the present moment for we inherent all kinds of issues from the past for which we were not responsible and direct actors but that we have to grapple with. what's interesting about what mcconnell said were a couple of things. first of all i think it shows a limited understanding of what reparations are and what they look like and the different ways that they can manifest themselves. secondly, there has been an ongoing historical debate starting with 40 acres and a mule about reparations that keep getting obfiscated about who's responsible and who's not. and for me i think that that second point is very important to mcconnell in particular who in this term in congress has confirmed more th

mr. mcconnell is out to protect mr. trump. just clear in everything he does. protect the republican party. protect donald trump. in announcing this, the hypothetical is less important than what he is signaling now, right? because what he is saying is i'm open for business to everyone. i would like to do this again. we'll listen if you got some stuff. is mcconnell signaling something similar by blocking this legislation? >> he is and that is what makes it so regrettable even reprehensible. you are absolutely right. that is the key point. donald trump is saying, show me what you have. i'm willing to listen. >> call me, norway. >> in a way he is signaling the russians -- >> not in a way. very clearly. >> the chinese and everyone else. that undermines the ability of the professional law enforcers at the fbi and counterintelligence units to protect our nation going forward. putting aside the past and the mueller report and all of the arguing about who is responsible we ought to be deeply concerned about what is happening to our nation in the future. >> marsha black

mr. mcconnell's own words. a lot of things happen last minute.pe. is that how you talk about a group of people that you know is so desperate for this? do you really just casually push aside the concerns of someone like jon stewart? he's an echo. he's not unique. hey, kudos to stewart, he's been there from the beginning for these men and women. he's been there from the beginning, okay? but this isn't about him and he knows it. he's the first one to say that. where is the commitment to them? don't mix their priority with your priorities. don't mix their money with money that you want for things. don't play politics with the people you said you would treat as heroes. otherwise what do you value? what are you about if you can't take care of the people we promised to never forget? thank you for watching us.

talking with your leadership, with ranking member granger, with senator mcconnell, with senator shelby, with senator leahy, with mrs. lowey, and with our leadership about the cessity to reach a agreement on the level of discretionary spending, which we call the caps. . clearly, as senator mcconnell pointed out in our discussions, the white house was a critical component of that, because as you know, in order to change the sequester, which i think is one of the stupidest policies we put in place, but in order to change the sequester, we'd have to have a bill signed by the president. so clearly the president would have to be involved. unfortunately, sometime thereafter, mr. vogt and mr. mulvaney suggested that we ought to go to the sequester, that we ought to just mark to the sequester numbers. for members who may not know exactly what that means, that means a $54 billion cut in defense spending. and i don't really think anybody in this house thinks that's an appropriate step for us to take, but that's what mr. mulvaney and mr. vogt of o.m.b. suggested, except, by the way, said we'll use $180 billion of deficit spend

mitch mcconnell saying, mr. president, do not do this.out there publicly blasted the move. i think to eliana's point, the president threatens, the more the pushback. as this goffer governing by threatening is happening over and over again. as it happens over and over. republicans are clearly breathing a deep sigh of relief. democrats are quick to point out, first of all, we don't know whether this deal is going to do anything to stop the flow of migrants across the border. this threat isn't off the table just yet. >> the president said in a tweet this morning. patrick, on the other hand, mexico has accelerated these agreements, they put them in place, isn't a win a win? >> no. a win is not a win, he's hyping a deal that was struck some months ago that we know that's insufficient to the challenge. let's be clear what's really happening here, i know americans through the news media are focused on mexico this story isn't about mexico. it's about migrants who are coming from honduras, el salvador, from the northern triangle. they are a very d

talking with your leadership, with ranking member granger, with senator mcconnell, with senator shelby, with senator leahy, with mrs. lowey, and with our leadership about the cessity to reach a agreement on the level of discretionary spending, which we call the caps. . clearly, as senator mcconnell pointed out in our discussions, the white house was a critical component of that, because as you know, in order to change the sequester, which i think is one of the stupidest policies we put in place, but in order to change the sequester, we'd have to have a bill signed by the president. so clearly the president would have to be involved. unfortunately, sometime thereafter, mr. vogt and mr. mulvaney suggested that we ought to go to the sequester, that we ought to just mark to the sequester numbers. for members who may not know exactly what that means, that means a $54 billion cut in defense spending. and i don't really think anybody in this house thinks that's an appropriate step for us to take, but that's what mr. mulvaney and mr. vogt of o.m.b. suggested, except, by the way, said we'll use $180 billion of deficit spend

mr. coats, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on tuesday says he does not support reparations for the descendants of slaves. we elected an african-american president, closed quote. there's an unconscionable denial and lack of knowledge in this nature about the true consequences of the transatlantic slave trade and enslavement of african-american people in which american democracy, prosperity and white privilege are founded. mr. coats based on your monumental essay, can you please describe briefly some of the continuing impacts and vestiges on the enslaving era of living african-americans today? >> first of all, one of things i try to make clear in my testimony is we perceive the era of enslavement -- the greatest damage enslavement did besides the economic damage, besides the normalization of torture, of rape. beside the normalization of treating people as though they are things is the institution in the american mind that black people are necessarily inferior. in 1865 when black people were emancipated that belief did not magically dissipate. it proceeded for 100 years afterwards. it

i do know that we've been engaged in conversation, leader mcconnell and schumer and mr. the secretary of the treasury. we were making some progress but then they kind of backed away from it. we'll see. i don't know what that one is. i'm not usually shall we say -- when mulvaney was one of the leaders in shutting down government when he was here and voted to keep it closed. voted to keep it closed. and that was when we were operating on the republican number that we said we don't like it but we'll agree to it. they didn't agree to their own number. so i'm hopeful. always hopeful, always open. but i think left to our own devices we can get -- i keep using that phrase because there is bipartisanship in all of this. we know what we have to do. we can get it done. it is when they come in with deal breakers because they don't believe in governance. they don't believe in science, which says evidence, data, what we need to do for our country. if you don't accept that and you don't believe in governance, then you have a different approach to all this. okay, are you ready for game

your mark on this week where mcconnell criticized your wife is controversial plan to ring fence the champions league helping the biggest clubs to qualify we are says that mr mccance comment was not upset busy. maybe i could say that i was a bit disappointed. because to use though pulling the general before the congress or to use the festival of women's football to interfere into sports from a political side it's at least a bit strange congress happened in paris because the women's world cup the biggest ever women's sports event is about to take place in france the spotlight will shift on to the pitch for an important month of football this was going to be the congress when an expanded cattle 2022 world cup was going to dominate proceedings but that was never likely to happen and it quietly went so why johnny in france is here to stay they were al-jazeera i think for congress in paris. well a meeting of african football officials out that congress has concluded with a decision to replay the 2nd leg of the continent's champions league final fans of both teams involved we've got casablanca esperance sport t.v. have been staging protests in paris the match wa
