the republican minneapolis has been relying on the mtr to force the democrats hand on major contentious issues like this week s gun bill but preempting the dems contentions to mess with the mtr, the house republican leader issued a stark warning. changes to the mtr would be a nuclear option and it would leave a stain on this majority just two months in. reporter: a spokesman for congressional republicans took the opportunity to taunt house democrats saying buckle up and grab your popcorn because democratic in-fighting is already reaching a breaking point and it s only month two of democrats house majority. just wait until the inter-party primaries begin. until that next round of primar ies begins though, house democrats are proceeding a pace with pushing through some major items on their agenda like the resolution to strike down what they call president trump s fake national emergency, and legislation to protect public land. neil? neil: jillian turner thank you very very much. so, ho
neil: i have seen before out of democrats, crucial election years like 1972. what i m most confident about candidates that are running for the most part and the people on the ballot is how the things that we talk about, we will be on the offense from a pragmatic standpoint and the right will go full. neil: you re a pragmatic guy and you want to win. do i want i do want to win. neil: some are calling it investment like kamala harris. you re making assumptions that some of the policies and candidates will get across the finish line first. neil: i don t know. there hasn t said a candidate that the green deal is not a good deal. amy klobuchar.
neil: they have different degrees the impulse to jump on the liberal band wagon. that s not true. you will see that till next year. neil: you think that democrats gave republican a gift? it s a huge gift. you see aoc. you look at it in terms of cannibalism, democrats aren t running out of food. i don t think it s a gift at all, i think it s a mistake that the republicans think it s a gift. the democrats are setting agenda and we are responding to it and that s not good. neil: why wouldn t they get out there right away, if you don t like donald trump and if you don t like republicans, look at the alternatives, that approach in this environment with a strong economy, low unemployment rate
gift, or something i mean it was going to offer $28 billion to the city and new york state and there were tax credits for that no different than those allowed every day individuals. you had a congress member who doesn t even represent the property where this is basically poison the well and convince new yorkers that this was a choice somehow between $3 billion for jeff bezos to line his corporate pocket which isn t true, versus $3 billion to address some of the real problems new yorkers face. this is something that s appalling for a freshman congressman member to make. when it is poisoning the well and really jeopardizing the future of an entire new york negotiating, it goes beyond that and frankly neil: something must be poison ing the well because it s not just new york. right now there are similar protests going on in virginia where the company wanted to build and still plans to build this facility as well, but it s taken hostage the party at the
large part of the tone here, and i think we have to hold him responsible for that, but nobody gets a pass, because we start matching the tone of donald trump. i think that s a mistake. neil: now i talked to a democratic colleague of yours off air, sir, who was saying about congresswoman cortez that she should be primary to herself , that she s wrecking the party, destroying its chances what did you think of that? see, i think it works both ways. i don t think we should be interfering with one another s politics. the people who elected us get to make those choices and when democrats or for that matter republicans start reaching into other states into one another s districts and try to dictate to the voters of a district that they don t rep who should rep them? i think that s an over reach. i m going to let the people of the district that she represents make that choice, if somebody wants to run against her that s the system but i don t think it s a good practice for us to get involved
