Depression era level. Lets get started. We begin with Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, pleasure to have you on the show, sir. Democrats are saying with 33 million americans out of work and that the First Priority ought to be working on another relief bill and not on some of the judicial nominations or personnel appointments that youre trying to get done in the senate right now. What is your message back to them . The senate got back to work this week. The democrats didnt want to go back to work and we have a lot of Different Things to do, nominations that have been stalled for at least six weeks if not longer so we can do that and we can also think about the way forward and its pretty clear to me that the way forward is for the economy to begin to open up. Weve already added 2. 8 trillion the National Debt over the last six weeks. We cant keep throwing endless amounts of borrowed money at the problem and hope to fix it. The way forward is to begin to safely open up our economy s
Against the foundation, and now against my husband, he will not step down. And yet, republicans may have reason to be nervous. Two polls two days in a row show moore trailing his democratic opponent. The latest poll out today shows moore five points behind. And yesterday, a fox news poll had him down eight points. In washington, there is one republican, however, glaringly absent from the conversation about roy moore.
