paul: that was senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, saying he ll bring the green new deal to a vote on the senate floor, forcing democrats to go on record with their support for the controversial proposal that was introduced last week by congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and senator ed markey. democrats are crying foul, calling mcconnell s move a political stunt. this is all they can muster, a political stunt. this cheap, cynical ploy evidently represents the sum total of senate republicans leadership on the vital issue of climate change. paul: we re back with kim, jason and allysia. before we get to the vote, the senate issue, what do you make of the reception, political reception generally to the green new deal? it s being widely ridiculed among the public at least. because it s so far-fetched.
