Mitch McConnell is one of the senators behind this bipartisan border bill that is disgusting

It is selling out our country and it should be voted down with furor and fire and because of that

he's now facing calls for him to be removed as senate minority house leader of the Republican

Party. Those calls have come from none other than Ted Cruz who laid out the case in front of

reporters just yesterday which was followed by a terse yet unconvincing response from Mitch McConnell

who looks like his best days are behind him. I want you to watch this video and then I want you

to give me your comments. Should Mitch McConnell be done? Should he retire? Should he be removed

Let me know in the comments and as always please like, comment, share and subscribe. It really

helps us out. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care everybody. Is it time for Mitch McConnell to go? I think it is. Look everyone here also

supported a leadership challenge to Mitch McConnell in November. I think a Republican

leader should actually lead this conference and should advance the priorities of Republicans

I can tell you what I said when we had that leadership election in November of 2022. It was

right after a very disappointing election. 2022 the wind was at our back. It should have been a

phenomenal Republican election year. Republicans should have won the Senate. We should have won a

big majority in the House. Instead we lost a seat in the Senate and we barely got a majority in the

House. And I stood up and said look in any ordinary organization when you are faced with failure

if you're running a business and you lose 50 million dollars you don't just say hey everything's

great let's keep doing it. No you sit down and say what are we doing wrong? And at that meeting I

turned to Mitch McConnell then and I said look we spent the last two years with a group, a handful

of Republicans joining with Democrats to pass the Democrat agenda. I said maybe that's a good idea

I don't think it is but someone could make the argument that's a good idea. Senator Ted Cruz

had a press conference around noon today said that you shouldn't have even tried to negotiate

with Democrats. Said this bill was designed to fail and that it's time for you to step down as

GOP leader. What's your response to that? I think we can all agree that Senator Cruz is not a fan

The president came out and he pointedly put the blame on Donald Trump. He said it is Donald Trump's

is to blame for the failure of this bill. Was Trump's opposition too much for you to overcome

Well I've said repeatedly every month I'm not going to get into comments about the race for

the presidency among Republicans. I think in the end even though the product is approved by the

border council that adores President Trump most of our members feel that we're not going to be

able to make a law here and if we're not going to be able to make a law they're reluctant to go

forward. There are other parts of this supplemental that are extremely important as well. Ukraine

Israel, Taiwan. We still in my view ought to tackle the rest of it because it's important

Not that the border isn't important but we can't get an outcome. So that's where I think we ought

to head up to Senator Schumer to decide how to repackage this if in fact we don't go on to it

Senator Schumer says that he worked extensively with you on this package. What do you say to

your colleagues who said that you misread your conference in helping to craft this border

I followed the instructions of my conference who were insisting that we tackle this

in October. I mean it's actually our side that wanted to tackle the border issue. We started it

obviously with a democratic president and a democratic senate. Our negotiators had to deal with them and James Lankford under those situations did a remarkable

job to pick off the border council which supported President Trump. Certainly underscores that it was

a quality product that that particular union felt would make progress toward making things better

But as I said earlier things have changed over the last four months and it's been made perfectly clear

by the speaker that he wouldn't take it up even if we sent it to him. So I think that's probably

why most of our members think we ought to have opposition tomorrow. We'll see and then move on

with the rest of the supplement. All right so there are senate republicans talking about the

chances of the border bill and supplemental spending bill including Ukraine and Israel

passing and it seems to be slim to none and slim just left town Sandra. So you're saying there's

not a chance. All right so we'll keep monitoring the hill. A lot of news to get to. We've also got

this breaking news
