and if the republicans like mitch mcconnell look around to say we can move entire generation of young people then we have to become more reasonable in our approach for our believe we can do that but they need to stand up and fight back. >> so you have spoken over and over about the corruption of the political system and the power of political money in the young people have voted against the republicans the past four elections in a row. people have mobilized on climate change. so how can this penetrate? with a series of questions on the links between protest politics in the movements against donald trump and other forms of political action? howdy we answer that? if that is true there should have been some movement from the republicans quite a while ago. >> the political difficulties that we have and this frightens me very much initiative right in every american, is that we are rapidly losing our american democratic traditions. by that i mean in vermont we have town meetings they yell at each other one-person one-vote. now what bc been is citizens united supreme court decision the abili

i don't see that right now with mitch mcconnell or with nancy pelosi i dunno what to expect from chuck schumer he is smarter and every bit as partisan but is transactional. he can do business. and they enter stand that. but there is some hope it all begins in the white house. we have to get a different tempo coming out of that place. >> of president eisenhower made that speech there were a few but not very many. and they turned up the policy papers but they were not policy-makers. today, more than 1800 and 400 in and around washington. they don't think, the dade justify. but very recently the any york times did a huge spread of the way the thing tanks operate. because you think that is a think tank it is a non-partisan point of view with research and conclusions about what the new york times be ported - - reported that day actually are often pushing the agenda of the people who fund them and their studies. they specifically in any york times piece listed contractors as examples of how this happens. elizabeth board was outraged there were stories about her reaction. because in her view,

the mouth of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> i think it's always a mistake to misread your mandate, and frequently new majorities think it's going to be forever. nothing is forever in this country. we have an election every two years right on schedule. we have had since 1788. and so i don't think we should act as if we're going to be in the majority forever. we've been given a temporary lease on power, if you will, and i think we need to use it responsibly. i think what the american people are looking for is results. and to get results in the senate as all of you know, it requires some democratic participation and cooperation. i think overreaching after an election is, generally speaking, a mistake. >> as mitch mcconnell said in only two years the political tide has turned very quickly. that's ahead. yeah, so mom's got this cold. hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can brea

and you have mitch mcconnell, who is a master of the dark arts of negotiation. [laughter] understands, not just big picture politics, but the small picture politics of what motivates an individual senator to make an individual decision. teamnk you have an amazing that accidentally, intentionally is in place to move very quickly. and i think we are all forgetting the thousands of staffers who are going to fill the administration, and where they are going to come from. and we will see, but my guess is that they will come from d.c. and the house and senate. >> i think you are right on that. there is no where else for them to come from. how much overlap is there really between the agenda that the establishment republicans have who have been here for a very long time, the agenda that president trump has, and the agenda of the people who voted for him? i have heard him say over and over again on the campaign trail inngs that are absolutely opposition to what many of the folks that you just named think we should do it with this country -- think we should do with this c

mitch mcconnell literally just went silent in front of cameras when asked oar -- about steve bannon. one of the reasons is that breitbart is aggressive in attacking establishment republicans and in turn those establishment republicans feel no obligation. and trump himself was the one who came out and said i don't like this alt right stuff but i think steve is a solid guy. broughthing that's been up is bannon already feuding internally with reince breeb us and where will the power center be? one thing will be to watch if something happens that bannon doesn't like, the white house may put on a good public show and everyone will turn to does he and ask what really think? >> someone likened it to the portrait of dorin gray. you may not be able to see it in the white house but if you look at breitbart, you'll see the ravage of what's going on in the trump administration. amy: we also have to talk about the democrats for a little bit. the republicans are obviously the main event be you the democrats are having sort of their own identity crisis now and some intraparty power struggles. senat

my hat also goes off to our majority leader, mitch mcconnell. it is not quite totally understood the fact that after we got the majority two years ago, we went to work. we had 10 times as many recorded votes as our predecessors in the leadership. we sent bipartisan legislation to the house and we accomplished bipartisan achievements for the american people. i think, in essence, sick i candidate by candidate, the voters rewarded republicans in the majority for the accomplishments that we had not had the previous eight years. and we looko work for to working with the president-elect and we look for to working with our strong majority in the house of representatives. when i was here is a member of the house of representatives to work with people like greg. my hat is off to him and speaker ryan and their team. heartiestgive my level of congratulations to greg and the new house majority. senator,you very much, it is an honor and privilege to be here. i think back to when i got involved in this eight years ago and pete sessions said we would fire nanc

i love it when president obama explained they had synergy, mitch mcconnell said they had a lot to be done. he's got 100 judgeships to fill, one on the supreme court, 99 others. so it a very good day for donald trump. tweeting can actually help move an agenda but it can also destroy momentum at the end of a day. i would ignore these protesters drs now, in -- now, in 1976 we o out and protest when gerald ford lost early to jimmy care carter he had a good day and he should keep going. >> it was unprecedented, was it not, that trump was traveling separate on the planes except for the rare journalist invited on board. today, so everyone doesn't think this is whiny news media, unprecedented not to have a pool cover the president-elect, correct? >> it is correct. we're looking at a candidate who shatters all norms. these are not necessarily laws or rules for politicians but they're things as journalists that perhaps journalists, as well as a country, has become to accept the way this is how peel operate. with trump, being a public figure or celebrity, he does not think about these norms as
