the bill that passed the house that hasn t gotten to the senate? i think it s terrific and i think these are exactly the issues we should be talking about. we have to get a higher right of participation in our democracy if we re actually going to preserve the democracy. i applaud the house for taking this step. the republicans, bring it to a vote, put it on the floor. if you ve got a legitimate argument in the senate against it, mr. mcconnell, then make that argument, let people vote and let the public see that there is actually a meaningful debate on important issues going on in washington, d.c. when asked about that by a reporter today, mitch mcconnell when asked why it won t go to a vote he said, because i get to decide what we vote on. senator heidi heitkamp, good to see you. thank you. thank you so much. all right. coming up, criticism of jared kushner s questionable security clearance is going to get more intense after reports that kushner shut u.s. government officials
conversations taking place between the two of them. in the hearing to confirm trump s new ambassador to saudi arabia, republican senator marco rubio had this to say about the assad crosaudi crown prince. he is reckless. he s ruthless. confrontation in his foreign policy approach and i think increasingly willing to test the limits of what he can get away with with the united states. he s gone full gangster. it s difficult to work with a guy like that, no matter how important the relationship is. what does it mean for someone with access to top-level security information to be meeting with a world leader who has gone full gangster? i ll ask msnbc counterterrorism and intelligence analyst malcolm nance that question next.
