Enabler Mitch has no credibility whatsoever.
… and your sleepy Joe has? Like what? … like begging the Israel and the Hoothies for peace after they killed 3 Americans and spent 800 billion last year for military budget? Didn’t your sleep Joe beg for G7 for help when the Iran fired the heck out 300 missiles ? … your sleepy Joe. Spent 800 billion last year on military and still has to beg Israeli and Hoothies for peace with the biggest Air Force and Navy in the world? What legacy your sleepy Joe have?
You failed this country Mitch! You should NOT have acquitted Donald on his second impeachment! You were protecting yourself not our nation! You failed us Mitch!😢
The Entire Democratic Party has failed this country.
AND BY NOT DOING IT, HERE WE ARE !!
Exactly & this is coming from someone who is not Democrat. But trust me say what you want about the Democrats but if it was a Dem president who participated in January 6. The Democratic Party would have been the first ones to hold him/her accountable.
@@Londyn406Even you know that is untrue.
@@Londyn406lmao stop it thats not true, they for themselves espeacially with all the corruption coming out the democratic party causing striff
Mitch’s ”legacy”? He’s been the number one GOP roadblock to any and all progress in America😂😂😂😂😂!
That’s his legacy. The legacy of ‘No.’
…like what? … free meals for everyone? …. Pal look at Bill Gates.. a billionaire still work 6 days a week….i might be wrong… please educate me for being ignorant
….And look at society nowadays pal weak people weak government weak economy the weak begging for peace with 800 billion budget and got whooped by Hoothies gangs? Are you serious Pal? Americans were killed by a bunch of gang and your president begging them for peace? …Did you see Trump begging Putin for peace? Now your president begging Israel for peace? … crying for G7 to help when Iran shooting at you? How low could you be pal? Your president afraid of the Hoothies and begging Israel for peace? … with the biggest air force and Navy … please educate me about being a bad Mitch
… also be educate me why your president spent 800 billion on military last year while my border broken?
Stole 2 Supreme Court seat and took the country backwards 50 years and counting
Mitch should have impeached Trump. He did a lot of damage
AGREE 100%, LOOK AT US NOW !! BECUSE OF THAT DECISION THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS DIVIDED, THE HOUSE IS IN CHAOS, THE EXTREMIST IS RUNNIG THE GOP, MY ONLY HOPE IS !! VOTE BLUE !!
He had absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump being Impeached, the House of Representatives filed the Articles of Impeachment with the Senate. The Senate is the Jury, not the prosecutor.
Why are you not holding him accountable? He supported the greatest threat to this country thru 2 impeachments and an insurrection.
It's party before country and always has been with these fools!
I believe Mitch McConnell has done a lot of harm to this country through his leadership...
However, his leadership emulates his party...
So, what specifically should he be accountable for and define, "Accountable..."
Are you happy now? Gas jumped from 3.75 now $ 5.54 … electric from 105 to $198….. and gold from $1734 to $2567 today… what happened? Do you know?
That means world bracing for war in the Middle East when no one can’t get gas unless paying with gold… be ready for your sleepyheads Joe will cry once war broke out with 800 billions budget for the Biggest Air Force and biggest Navy … don’t text me yet… wait until November elections…. He can’t even get upstairs right letting alone leading Americans… wait and see
That makes you a traitor to the oath you took to defend the country and the constitution.
.. by the way look at the Gas pump once the Middle East war broke out when your sleepy Joe hiding in the office getting free service… wait and see… not long
… are you happy now with your sleepy Joe? Gas from 3.75 now 5.67.. gas bill from $105 now $218… a million illegals passed the gate in2023 and you be soon learn how to speak Spanish and eat pupusa… are you happy now with your sleepy Joe? ….. of course if you speak Spanish then it’s home……by the way be ready sir or madam be ready to pay 10 dollars for a gallon once the War in Middle East broke out and your sleepy Joe done begging them with biggest Navy and Air Force and have to beg for peace? Don’t text me yet … please google the gold price and predict the future… Americans not dumb… look at the gas pump and groceries price list … don’t text me yet… until November elections
Shame on YOU Mitch!!! Your legacy is one of shame.
Mitch has destroyed democratic rule!
So glad to see him go because of the criminals he helped seat in the NOT supreme court. His legacy is SHAMEFUL!
I miss Chuck Todd
I miss Tim Russert
@@billyboy1093agreed, Tim was the GOAT.
They still have him on you know lol
This is the monster that got us here...McConnell
[4:07] _"I'm not focused on the here and now of this case."_ ~Brett Kavanaugh
Yeah, of course, how *SILLY* of us to think that a *Supreme Court Justice* should be "focused" on a *Supreme Court case* that is being heard by the *Supreme Court.*
Exactly...they ignore the imminent danger to our country Trump brings because they prefer to ponder some future hypothetical...down the road. Ridiculous the excuses and reasons to not deal with the Reality of the danger present here and now....from Trump.
Loved the Ruby Bridges interview!!!! Best part of this broadcast today.
Mitch needs his whole family and relatives to be investigated on inside trading for many many years. See how many billions they stole
Along with Nancy Chuck Joey
When Mitch McConnal refused to allow a Supreme Court confirmation 11 months before the Obama term and confirmed a 3rd sppointment to the Supreme Court after Trump had lost the 2020 election and was in lame duck status, McConnel demonstrated what kind of man he is.
Agree...and THAT act will be his legacy.
So Long Mr. Mitch! You should have left a long time ago!
Pelosi and Schumer should go also
He’s only stepping down from leadership. He’s going to finish the rest of his senate term.
Mitch, a lot of us agree with Bernie who says being against the atrocities in Israel’s war in Gaza is NOT antisemitic.
His comment was a bit broader than that...
The majority of Americans believe the current Israeli government is currently handling the crisis is wrong...
We, even believe Israel should hold a special election and remove Netanyahu from office and his party should establish a new leader...
Biden is, in fact sanctioning and defunding three batteries of the IDF for current and past human rights violations...
But, that isn't your narrative...
Your narrative is to instill fear in Jewish students who have no part to play in this except that they are jews and the end of the Israeli state...
Both of those views are anti-semetic...
You were at Columbia University chanting that jews aren't welcome on campus...
Bernie Sanders denounces your activities...
@@jayscott921ahhh I knw someone would defend him in these comments and here u are he said what he said we heard him
Kudos for the Ruby Bridges interview! ❤️
Really? Blame the presidents of colleges for tolerating antisemitism - what about the last Republican president who responded to crowds chanting with torches- “Jews shall not replace us” - by saying there were good people on both sides - you know the guy he is supporting for president !
The Supreme Court he helped to stack with conservatives.
Wait, he’s not leaving the Senate? 😡🌵💙#VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy!
You can blame Harry Reid for stacking the court
@@kk-ym5tc And you can blame Joe Biden for halitosis in dogs, and Hunter for sinking the Titanic, and your statements would have equal credibility. Blindly parroting false right wing rhetoric does not make it true, no matter how many times you repeat it.
@@kk-ym5tc It is a matter of record that Reid left the filibuster in place for SCOTUS nominations. It was McConnell and his 2017 Senate majority that eliminated the filibuster in order to stack the court.
The independence and credibility of the SCOTUS is already completely gone, thanks to McConnell and the GQP. Our system requires ethical participants to operate; those who will honor the Constitution and their oath of office, unlike whatever remains of the GQP.
The independence of the judiciary has been absent since the Gore/Bush decision, and has now reached the abject heights of absurdity.
@@kk-ym5tc McConnell quashed the filibuster for SCOTUS appointments in 2017, leading to the stacked court. Reid left it intact. But you know that, don't you. Try harder, Junior.
Senator McConnell, do you regret destroying the system of checks and balances in our nation by withholding the last supreme court nomination from our first black president?
He should hope Trump loses the 2024 election. If Trump wins, Mitch's legacy will be the end of Democracy for the US.
It will not be forgotten.
Garland is a failure as AG and would be worse as a justice.

I loved the interview with Ruby Bridges and seeing her doing so well.
Ruby Bridges-American Hero: Thank you for this interview! TY Kristen! Great interviews all-around.
Thank You Tim Kaine. Keep up the great work!!
McConnell talks in circles to avoid answering questions.
That inconsistent 60-vote ‘rule’ needs to go. #VoteBlue to make it happen. #ByeMitch
It used to be 66 votes...
@@jayscott921Democrats changed the Senate rule to 51 votes which backfired with SCOTUS.

You aren't talking about the same thing...
@@jayscott921Perhaps not, but my comment is correct.
This was Netanyahu's response to the AMERICAN lawmaker (Chuksumer) : "IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE, and we are not a banana country that is dictated to by anyone, EVEN AMERICA"... and yet the taxes of American citizens paid with sweat and tears gone to Israel😂😂😂
AIPAC lobbyist money is a haven for lawmaker and officials. Are you going to just watch them have fun with their lobbyists and your taxes, while you have trouble paying your taxes?
This guy need to pay for his decision not impeach Trump!
His wife and her family must regret accepted him to their family
TDS.
Mitch and his wife and family have no regret. The benefited greatly with the corrupt Trump administration, with China along with Ivanka trump
@@Seekthetruth3000 Your impersonation of a talking parrot is spot on, Junior. A pity you have nothing to say that wasn't fed to you by those you blindly worship. You don't have to _"seek"_ the truth, Princess, it's in your face, and you hide from it.
I feel your pain. You are simply projecting.@@paradisepipeco
@@Seekthetruth3000 Somebody is projecting. But please continue. We all enjoy a puppet show. I'll make more popcorn.
Kristen Welker is a sensational interviewer! I relished every time she "set" Mitch straight when he started to talk in circles.
A mature leader is all about the people, not their popularity.
Wow..great piece and thanks for sharing a great woman... a once little girl who grew up to hold such high values for us all to emulate.
Thank you for such a wonderful interview with Ruby Bridges. Being able to hear the stories from the mouths of those who experienced them is invaluable. I really appreciate it.
Ruby Bridges is a Hero . Ruby Bridges' message is one of hope, kindness, and standing up for what's right. Here's what she conveys to students and teachers:
* Students: Be kind and welcoming to others. Everyone deserves a friend, regardless of background. Never judge someone by appearances.
* Teachers: Be a champion for all your students. Teach them about history, including the fight for civil rights. Help them understand the importance of treating everyone with respect.
❤
She doesn't know how to conduct an interview why they put her in that position is beyond me I hardly ever watch her!!!!
She has no control. She let's them talk all over her.
I guess you do...just stop watching it altogether.
Yet you're here to watch her
Thank you all for the hard work 🎉
I was in Israel and Palestinian in 98 and talked with many residents and they all stated that if Netanyahu gained power he would eventually lead them into war. The cause of this conflict is not religion, it is politics led by Netanyahu, and terrorists.
BB is a redhat
At least, you mentioned terrorists...
I do believe, however that Netanyahu and his party's efforts are greatly responsible for what led up to October 7th...
But, that doesn't absolve HAMAS...
They are equally against a two-state solution...
Have you heard any discussion from HAMAS, (Gaza's government), of a two-state solution?
@@jayscott921 Yes, two wrongs do not make a right! In history, the warmongers always find an excuse to start a war, even if it is their actions that led up to the war. Iraq and Afghanistan are two excellent examples. BB wanted war against Palestine, and Hamas also did. They both are to blame. In 98 Hamas was being dealt with. When BB came into power he let them gain power in Palestine. He let them participate in the elections of 2006. Hamas never had a majority but then was allowed to continue even though they were committing terroristic acts. No new elections were allowed so Hamas held onto power and money and arms were allowed in to finance Hamas because BB wanted them to stay in power so eventually he could declare war on Palestine after the horrific October attacks. BB allowed the far right to take Palestinian lands illegally thus inflaming Hamas. This is a brief history that led up to this war which could have been avoided if Hamas had been dealt with during the last two decades!

How much yoga didn't you do to make that twisted word salad fit into your myopic little box...
I like the change, Kristen Walker is doing a excellent job, she asks the hard questions. Good job NBC 👏
Mitch and Trump are the same. One is just louder about their actions than the other.
To say “it’s not our place to call for an election” is hilarious. We do it all the time, we overthrow governments to force an election all the time. But because suddenly we’re talking about Israel, now it’s not ok.
This what’s wrong with old America. No sense of justice, just ideology
Though I agree with the protests, the signs should read “WHERE IS YOUR HUMANITY NETANYAHU”.
Thank you so much for the interview with Ruby Bridges!!! I have read so much about her but I never knew about Mardi Gras and how those experiences helped her that first day. I’ve done Mardi Gras a few times, so could sort of imagine what Ruby described. Wonderful interview!!!!
he says his followers are smart enough to vote the right way... NOT It is apparently not true.
Is criticism of Israel antisemitic?
Generally, no. There is a wide range of views regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and vigorous debate and activism on this complex situation is an important component of public discourse and the free exchange of ideas. Israel is a country like any other, with policies that range from laudable to condemnable. We don't all need to agree on any given policy of the Israeli government, nor any critique. Because one is against the fascist, genocidal actions of the Benjamin Netanyah government does not mean one is anti semitic. a lot of us agree with Bernie who says being against the atrocities in Israel’s war in Gaza is NOT antisemitic.
7:35 MTG and Trump have both been very cozy with white nationalists, Christian nationalists, etc.
Talib and Biden have been cozy with Hamas supporters.
@@frankrocco7989 Netanyahu was in an alliance with Hamas until October 7, 2023.
wonderful interview with Ruby Bridges/ Kristen is a class act!
God loves you Ruby❤ and so do I ❤🗽🫂❣️
In a week, virtually NO ONE will be on most college campuses any more. This won't even be an issue by November.
But having said that, the media and a lot of people are hysterical and full of crap about these protests. The vast majority of them are not violent and not Antisemitic, so long as the term is NOT defined to mean that ANY criticism of ANY Israeli government policy is completely out of bounds. Please end the arrests and hysteria and show some respect for the right to free speech and the right to assemble!
watching a mitch mcconnel interview is 100 percent waste of time. lesson learned here.
Why is a Supreme Court Judge, ASKING the defense Atty. to explain "The Law!", to her?
Patience grasshopper
hay Mitch? you talking the 1940's? or the 1840's? BTW.. it is the 21st century now! that interview sucked big time!
Is is sad that there are thousands of innocent civilians being killed and displaced and that Gaza is being pretty much leveled? Yes it is😢
Senior citizens might feel abandoned by the world. These "phones" are way too important. The youth might feel similarly in that the interactive games have taken the forefront of the precedented limelight visible throughout most of youth years.
Thank. You. Very. Much Ser
The reporter was less hateful this time. I hope she will continue to be respectful to the guests instead of interrupting their answers and refusing to allow the guests to talk.
RESTORE THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL! NOTHING LESS WILL DO!!! 🤬
If a student is willing to actually Read A Book let them choose their own books to read.
McConnell speaks with a forked tongue.
He has ruined his entire reputation by failing to stand up to Trump. Saying one thing and then backing up on that statement.
Why allow McConnell to dodge questions and pivot to simple hypocritical retort absent of answering the question.
Longest running program in television history....and y'all are destroying it. I long for the days of, you know, JOURNALISTS.
Tim Russert comes to mind.
Love to our beautiful sister Ruby 🖤 🕯️
If is Sunday trying to reelect a failed president by gaslighting
The here and now of this case: Justice for all!
Wow, exceptionally fulfilled!! Thx
The hypocrisy of Mitch is nauseating. Retire already good lord
That resting Mitch face. No backbone.
Sad ever no legacy at all!
He should be ashamed
Man you really cant disagree with these people, and they dont represent the people no more
Every time the Mitch the Grim-reaper smiles? A unicorn dies
Walker is a nasty mean interviewer. Interrupting the guest. Firing five questions in a row but not allowing the guest to answer.
Increasingly the news is delivered by incompetent ignorant celebrity talking heads. Its SHAMEFUL.
Mitch McConnell is one of the reasons the First Amendment is important to have....
Great interview with Ruby Bridges. Thank you Kirsten.
We have to face the mob y'all. The angry youths and their angry parents. The people protesting. It's not safe it is a signal of disorder in such a scale.
Mental health during the Pandemic in America actually increased, for a short intense length of time. Now what's up? We have the computer online and it's ready to teach lessons. We need to supply the plans for the lessons. Lesson plans. A multi tiered approach to tackling age and bias issues.
One of the best MTP episodes I have seem with Kristen. Well done.
We need leaders (regardless of party affiliation) who have qualities like unquestioned loyalty, of selflessness, of a well-trained mind, of recognized ability & mature experience.
ALWAYS FULL-MOUTHED MITCH MCCONNELL WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE SENATOR ULL OF DECEIT
Shouldn't the documents case be able to move forward? That happened after he was kicked out of the White House.
McConnell has lost all credibility.
It’s not antisemitism if u speak out about Israel
He's got no right to speak what the other side should do. Shameless Mitch. May you pay the price for what you have done.
He will. We all will. 17:14
They should shelved this interview
I don’t believe young school age children would be uninterested or critical of the history of slavery in our country democracy
All students and freedom lovers please no vote for Genocide Joe Biden let’s all vote for Dr West he stands up for freedom independence Palestine 🇵🇸
"My members are smart enough...." Hahahaa nope.
I think there is an old adage about if his mouth is open he's lying....
"I'm shocked to see antisemitism in this country"? Really, from the leader of the antisemitic party.
The issue is some people can not separate the state of Israel from the Jewish religion. It's like blaming Catholics for something the Italian government does.
Interesting how there is a dancing around questions and dodging around the obvious answers, playing head games and enabling dictatorship. This goes back to the expressions of the holy writings that it does not belong to man who is walking to direct his step, and comparatively do not put your trust in princes nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.
The university presidents need to set up forums that are publicized in broadcast showing the debate between the 2 sides a way to take down the temperature is to have conversation publicly
this is sick sick
At the risk of sounding redundant, I miss Tim Russert
She could have asked should individuals be punished for leaving their State to get an abortion in a state it's legal
This case about 'Presidential immunity' appears to devolve upon the definition of an 'official act' for which it is reasonable to argue that a President would be immune from prosecution at some later time, a definition which the Supreme Court could easily establish at once. An 'official act' by the President is any act, any order, or any decree made in fulfilment of the oath of office, both in defence of the Constitution, and in defence of the Union ''against threats foreign and domestic'', while at the same time remaining within the bounds of the Law which that President is also sworn to uphold. Period.
For example, even were the President to believe that his political opposition represented a ''domestic threat'', he cannot with the expectation of immunity from prosecution contravene any laws or statutes in pursuit of that belief. Were for instance the President to order the National Guard to put down a rebellion in which some protesters were killed, he is not liable for prosecution provided that the National Guard is acting within its charter and according to its lawful rules of engagement. If, on the other hand, the President were to join them and he himself to shoot dead an unarmed protester, he should be charged and convicted of murder.
These same principles inferred from the definition may be applied generally to any 'official act'. The accidental death of a civilian in a drone strike is immune from prosecution so long as the military forces executing the action are doing so lawfully to defend the nation in accordance with Presidential order. And so on. The Supreme Court, were it not a disgracefully corrupt institution, could not only readily decide this case, but in so doing establish the guidelines implicit in such a definition capable of governing virtually any imaginable scenario, and should do so with alacrity.
Yeah, Mitch. Kent State is what you and Moses Mike really want. Free speech does not try to squelch one side of the debate.
After listening to many interviews from this reporter, Ive concluded that she doesnt know how to ask follow up questions and lets these politicians get away with everything harmful.

this is not branded as MEET THE PRESS in header..eludes search results all friggen morning..
Pay-Offs!
There’s Moscow mousy Mitch McConnell weasel wording around direct questions.
… reporter lady … please be nice to the man!!!! This is a truly American… not a fake one or look-alike …
Really good shew Tonight as Ed Sullivan would’ve said😂😂😂
None of these wars were going on when Trump was president. Why don't you ask McConnell about inflation, the border, and crime?
