they are greater obstructionist than nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. and they have driven the president into and compelled him to do whatever he can to break the logjam of inaction and indifference to the will of the people as well as the national interest on the part of the leadership -- republican leadership. >> sean: so we agree. but i bet donald trump in the course of his business life, like probably we have done in our lives. you shake so many hands, you have a deal. >> chuck schumer is not like that. and neither is nancy pelosi. >> they are not his friend. >> sean: i do not trust them. they are not his friend, so we have to get it up in writing upfront. nohi deal on anything. he in fact gets that wall. >> i would not trust their signatures. they can do whatever they want. >> sean: it does not mean anything. they can write it in blood. >> we are getting closer to the solution, i believe. but the reality is, i do not trust ryan. i do not trust mcconnell. they are both on lock, stock, and barrel by the chamber of commerce, and they are going to fund

and amnesty's reporting is based on chuck schumer and nancy pelosi's dinner as reported by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, they are breitbart sources on amnesty don caving on daca. amnesty, don, that's tonight's "last word." "the 11th hour" with brian williams is next. >>> tonight michael g flynn, the son of the fired national security adviser now a subject in the russia investigation and it certainly looks like robert mueller is applying pressure. plus, breaking tonight, chuck, nancy and donald have dinner at the white house and to listen to the democrats, schumer and pelosi, they got a lot of assurances from the president as the 11th hour gets under way right now. >> well, good evening to you once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. we have suddenly a lot of news breaking right now. we'll get to all of it, and we want to take a moment here before our political coverage to talk about this h

cornering trump caught on a hot mike when senator chuck schumer thought no one could hear him. now resh, schumer's public message has been that he'll talk to trump about dem priorities but also hold the line. >> we're going to hold his feet to the fire, i can assure you of this. anything we're going to support will get almost no republican votes. that may mean we support him on nothing. but we're not going to sacrifice our principles for the sake of compromise. >> that's when we knew the mike was on. here's a fascinating moment on the senate floor we're about to air for the first time when chuck schumer didn't know a hot mike picked him up saying trump may like him more than mitch mcconnell. >> he likes us. he likes me any. look, what we said was exactly accurate. >> he likes me anyway. then schumer shows his canny side explaining that he gave trump advice that in politics like basketball you got to be able to dribble in more than one direction. this protip would benefit democrats in trump follows it. >> hereby's what i told him. i saud, mr. president, you're better off if you

i think chuck schumer knew somebody was recording it. for chuck schumer to say we're always going to work it out. chuck schumer very rarely works it out with republicans. i don't know, what do you think of that? >> a pretty good theory, chuck schumer knows where the cameras are and the mics are, i think that's right. schumer a deal maker, he wants to get things done, and remember, schumer and trump go back a long time. they know each other and they get along. david: one thing is true, and you spoke about this before is he is not. president trump is not content with the progress of republicans, whether it's obamacare or tax cuts. we got word from kevin brady's office, he does not expect the tax plan to be specific about corporate individual tax rates. come on! we've had a plan put forth back in april by mnuchin and cohn in the white house. they've had years to work in a tax plan and it's not going to be specific? >> republican members are frustrated with leadership. they are saying the same thing. hey, we want to see it. remember, to pass

he simply accepted the first offer made by chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. remember all those campaign speeches when donald trump told his supporters he wouldn't even try to negotiate with his opponents in congress because it was easier just to sit there and accept whatever his opponents wanted. no, i don't remember those speeches either. i remember this. >> so i've watched the politicians. i've dealt with them all my life. if you can't make a good deal with a politician, then there's something wrong with you. you're certainly not very good. we need a leader that wrote "the art of the deal." >> we tried to tell you. we tried to tell you he didn't know what he was talking about. the republican leaders were told before the meeting today that the president would support their proposal, which was for an $8 billion hurricane harvey relief package coupled with an 18-month extension of the debt ceiling. chuck schumer's counteroffer was, okay on the $8 billion hurricane relief package, which is something democrats always favor in these situations, and a three-month

it's an honor to be here with the senate leader, chuck schumer, with the champion on this issue, with the chair of the hispanic caucus in the house, congresswoman michelle lujan grisham. of new mexico. senator dick durbin, who for at least 15, 16 years has been a champion of the dreamers. the he first introduced this bill in 2001. even before 9/11. congresswoman roybal-allard who has been a champion on this issue and now serves as the ranking democrat on the homeland security committee where she, again, continues her work to be vigilant. protecting our dreamers. we have newcombers to the of ress, senator harris california. representative castro of texas. slightly newcomber. of nevada. cortes we all agree that president trump's decision to end daca is a despicable act of political cowards a. cowards a squared because he gave the announcement to his attorney general, instead of just making the statement himself. and now he says congress should act. he has overturn what had president obama did because it sn't constitutional or legal -- constitutional or legal -- thank you. but if congres

donated to chuck schumer and all of that. i think there is something to be said out there. there is a sense that our elites and establishment have failed us, that they are impotent. they cannot get anything done. i think that if trump can just start cutting deals and getting something done people might not care what it is. he is actually going to be getting something done. >> april, i think it is interesting he is getting something done. he ran on this thing that he was a populist maverick and different. at the end 069 day people who have known him for a while especially new yorkers, remember he didn't win new york, people know that donald trump is pretty much establishment. >> establishment for what? business? >> establishment for business. he is a self-proclaimed billionaire. you don't get more establishment than that. come on. >> that is the piece right there. america wanted something new. they didn't want the same old. they wanted to break the system and they didn't know what they wanted but they got something new. now they see it. you know, he's not a traditional repub

chuck schumer on the senate side, nancy pelosi on the house side. they were invited by the president and issues they'll likely be talking about, the d.r.e.a.m. act, obamacare and the fall spending guidelines. dinner tonight. before that, later this afternoon, the president will be having about 13 members of the house and the majority of the 13, eight of them are democrats. a theme we have seen from the president over the last 24 hours as he tries, and his administration try to get the numbers on their side as it relates to tax reform. speaking of tax reform, big news from the republican side on this day as i'm told when the republican conference on the house side met this morning, kevin brady, head of the house ways and means committee laid out the time lines, brady telling members it will be the week of september 25th. two mondays from now. at some point that week, the details will begin to emerge as to what this tax package might look like, and fast-forward to mid-october, that is when they hope to get to the budget process. that is of importance

. >> great meeting with chuck schumer, nancy pelosi. and the whole republican leadership group, and i will tell you we walked out of there mitch and paul and everybody, kevin. and we walked out and everybody was happy. not too happy because you can never be too happy. but they were happy enough. >> bret: 's book was "the art of the deal." today he came up with a big one. to the chagrin of some republican leaders in congress. president trump went over the head of republican colleagues and struck a deal with the democrats that starts with funding for hurricane harvey victims. correspondent peter doocy on capitol hill. >> today was a good day, >> chuck schumer saying that because mcgrath got what they wanted. president trump agreed to attach a three month debt limit and government funding measures to a harvey relief bill. >> it will avoid default and from the government. >> the president defied speaker ryan who wanted a long term debt limit increase. >> we got this devastation in texas. another unprecedented hurricane about to hit florida

he's reached out to chuck schumer as nancy pelosi said. chuck schumer talks new york. two deal makers from new york who have known each other for decades, and the sense on trump's face, now i'm going to get something done. now i'm going to move beyond the republicans and all their problems and begin to make deals. whether the democrats will stick with him, whether they'll be with him headed toward midterm elections is another question. i think he's being overly optimistic about keeping democrats as his partner. >> the republicans for the most part stayed with him. mike pence was smiling next to him. paul ryan had dinner with him last night. most of the trump supporters online i saw were blaming republicans in the house and the senate and not donald trump himself if that stays the case, then this would be a winning legislative formula for him. >> there's always been the possibility that a president, whatever he or she called himself as terms of party, not beholden to either party, could shake things up with public support and an exciting media narrative. donald trump di

chuck schumer has spent a lot of time on immigration. i don't begrudge him if he thinks, i can do something good for policy direction, i'm going to sit at the white house with donald trump. if i were a liberal, i'd be telling chuck schumer, you don't want to legitimize the trump presidency. when was charolettesville, one month ago. if you had told me -- we were on together. he's doing these things truly outrageous, i have one saying the guy is -- >> ra by refusing to have conference call. >> suddenly chuck shumer and nancy pelosi joking around. chuck schumer saying, he kind of likes me. i think you have to be careful. the stuff i care about, if mcmaster and kelly can make policy better, that's good. but i don't think you want to let go of the fact that trump has done and said things as president he shouldn't have done and said. >> in fact, we talk about a month ago, how about 24 hours ago on air force one what he said about antifa, retreating to his position that these were bad dudes on the other side. >> i think that's what the progress

senator chuck schumer of new york and house minority leader nancy pelosi. one was for immigration and one was to provide hurricane relief money. is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship or a one time only moment. joining me now is nancy pelosi. welcome back to "meet the press." before we get to the business side of washington, you represent san francisco, the golden state warriors, collin kaepernick, i know this is more high topic of mind in your district, i imagine i know where you are on the president's comments on this. what would you like him to do if you think he would do it? >> i would like him to do what he said he would do when he ran and was inaugurated to bring people together. he should see this as an opportunity. somebody doing what he did like kaepernick, he said this flag enables me to do this, the anthem enables me to do this, it is about freedom of expression instead of what he is doing now. i think he is ill advised if advised at all. sports are always been a great unifier. sports and the arts bring america together. we put our diffe

the president and democratic leaders, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and the president agreed they would move forward with daca. that's the program that allows undocumented immigrants with children to move into the u.s. that's 800,000 of the d.r.e.a.m.ers but at what cost? both pelosi and schumer say it will not be linked and the president seemed to be on board. >> we're building four different samples of the wall to see which one we're going to choose and the wall is going to be built. it will be funded a little bit later. >> just a short time later he repeated at least four times that there will be nothing on daca unless he gets the wall. >> we'll only do it if we get extreme security, if we get not only surveillance but everything that goes along with surveillance and ultimately we have to have the wall. if we don't have the wall, we're doing nothing. let's go to cnn congressional correspondent phil mattingly. phil mattingly, what are republican leaders on the hill saying about all of this today? >> reporter: yeah, despite what we heard from senate minority leader chuck schumer, house

. >> we had a very good meeting with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. we agreed to a three-month extension on debt ceiling, which they consider to be sacred, very important, always will agree on debt ceiling automatically because of the importance of it. so we have an extension which will go out to december 15th. that will include debt ceiling, include the crs and it'll include harvey. the amount of money to be determined, but it will be include -- because everyone is in favor, obviously, of taking care of that situation. so we all very much agree. >> that move certainly surprised party leaders. a report tonight says sources inside and close to the leadership have used, quote, the full range of expletives in text messages reacting to the president's deal with democrats. it's also at odds with mr. trump's own previous comments or tweets as the case may be back in january 2013. wrote "the worst negotiators in history otherwise known as republicans just offered to suspend debt ceiling for four months. pathetic." joining me now, kirsten powers and paul bega

chuck schumer more or less saying not on my watch. we'll keep an eye on that. >>> also keeping an eye on twitter. right now you know the drill, 140 characters or less when you tweet something out. twitter wants to make it 280 characters which i'm told is a huge deal, which you can say in 10 characters. deirdre bolton, "fbn:am" co-host, lauren simonetti. is it a big deal? >> it is a big deal because it is doubling the space you have to say something. twitter crunched numbers and large percentage of users came in at exactly 140 characters which means they were severely editing tweets. neil: can you do following tweets? >> you can do a tweet storm or following tweets. you're going for brevity? neil: aren't they losing a little bit allure? >> that is their identity, separates them from facebook and snapchat. that is the english language users. we are the least efficient. for example, in asia the character limit staying the same, the characters are not taking up as much space. neil: they don't blather on? >> you could infer that. neil: the

and that's chuck schumer. what do you think of this, the president -- they agreed to enshrine daca outside of the wall? >> what i think is that a lot of people in washington are going to be walking around with neck braces tomorrow from whiplash because things have changed so dramatically, so quickly. but look, let's understand something about donald trump. he can be a demagogue but he's not really an ideologue. there are not many things that he seems to have deep convictions about. the thing he has a deep conviction about is his image as a deal maker, as a guy who gets stuff done. and for the last seven months, he's gone down that partisan road and he hasn't gotten anything done and now he apparently has made the decision that by making these bipartisan deals he can get things done. the real question is, how do the republicans react to this and how exactly how quickly will the republican leadership put whatever deal was consummated if indeed there was one on the floor of the congress. >> yeah. i wonder what re

>> what does chuck schumer get in return? chuck schumer -- neil: that is who he is talking to. >> we don't know yet. chuck schumer when it comes to this stuff light years smarter than donald trump on legislative kabuki dance. neil: when you come on, you trash the president, leader of the free world, do they come back at you? >> on twitter. neil: he can't stand you. he hates you. >> you know something? i did it to obama when you i thought he was stupid. neil: you hate everyone. >> no i critique. neil: name one thing he has done right? >> by proposing the tax cuts. that was really good. neil: okay. >> my problem he is negotiating himself into a corner where he won't get it. neil: could surprise you. "the art of the deal." >> if my aunt had you know what, she would be my uncle. neil: so true. look at the time. we've got much more on this deal, what is going on. the president will maybe, maybe touch on some developments we alluded to. that is coming up in about an hour. we have the latest update on irma, still a category 5 storm.

chuck schumer and house minority leader chuck nancy pelosi. we've been trying to get daca quickly and work up border security excluding the wall acceptable to both sides. lauren: file in the statement, this is a fair huckabee sanders tweeted. while dr. and border security were discussed from excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to. senator schumer spokesperson traded this pick the president made clear he would continue pushing their wall just not with this agreement. what exactly is going on? oracle consultant harlan helen democrat strategists parlin heldman. cheryl: now we move onto the latest of tax reform. the gop tax plan will not in the scope of the americans. blake burman at the white house with the details. >> wealthiest of americans may not be getting a tax break and might even pay a little more. that was the message from president trump wednesday as he met with the parade of democrats at the white house. >> the rich will not be gaining it all with this plan. the wealthy will be pretty much where they are. pretty much where they

and i'm pleased to yield to the leader in the senate, the senator from new york, chuck schumer. thank you leader pelosi. we wish we didn't have to be here, but we must and i want to thank the hispanic caucus for organizing this event and all of my colleagues in the senate i would like to mention that i can see them all, blumenthal, warn warner, anyone else? modestly stood to the back. but let me say i want to cut through the chase. the presidents position to end the daca was heartless and brainless. if this order stands, hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart, tens of thousands of american businesses will lose hard-working employees. we are talking about folks that were brought here as children through no fault of their own. they may have known no country but ours have voluntarily registered themselves with the government in order to live, work and give back to our great country. they represent a threat to the country and in so many ways they represent the best of the country. they want to get right by the law. they protect and give to others in the country. over

. >>> president trump tonight inviting chuck schumer and nancy pelosi to the white house, after cutting a deal with them just last week. what now is this dinner about? and what republican leaders are saying tonight. >>> and the new controversy involving the treasury secretary and his wife, who posted that image, listing her designer clothes. did they request a government plane for their honeymoon overseas? >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. and we begin with that horrific headline that emerged today, several days now after hurricane irma hit florida. eight residents of a florida nursing home have died. the center evacuated this morning after an emergency call. three people had been found dead inside. the home using generators. no air conditioning in that sweltering heat. everyone else then taken to the hospital today, which was right across the street. several others passing away there. their aging ranging from 71 to 99. of course, the question tonight, how did this happen? and here's abc's chief national correspondent tom llamas on the scene

he has chuck schumer patting himself back repeatedly. the most partisan hack, there is no other way to say it, in the senate on the democrat side is chuck schumer. the new harry reid. trump is laying this out and i think we are seeing the beginning of a negotiation. >> kat: do you think, jessica, that this will matter when it comes to democrats, will will e more likely to compromise? >> jessica: absolutely not. democrats being in the minority, they have gotten under credible amount done, or at least stopped an incredible amount. health care, tax reform. i think it is smart to be out there with heidi heitkamp. that's what she needs to do and nine other democrats in red states. trump needs to be talking to them more. the democrats have completely and utterly gamed the republicans and that's the frustration with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. they have the numbers. they can't get it done. tax reform is more likely numbers wise because they all want to tax cut for individuals and corporate rate. then you have president trump talking about a

i trust chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. we'll see. >> what seemed to be a candid moment on the senate floor, he had a straightforward explanation for why trump may be working with him. take a listen. >> he likes us. he likes me anyway. what he said is exactly that. here's what i told him. i said, mr. president, you're much better off if you can sometimes step right and sometimes step left. if you have to step in one direction, you're boxed. he gets that. it's going to work it and it will make us more productive too. >> anne hayworth, what do you make of that? there's this talk that there's a new york bond with trump and schumer. he likes to cut deals there. >> sure. >> do you see as a republican the basis here -- because what schumer is describing there is a model not just for this. he's describing a model potentially for a longer term partnership between trump, schumer, democrat leaders. as a republican, what do you think of that? >> you know, steve, it's to be expected. the president has actually a longstanding relationsh

if that's true, and we'll talk about this later in the show with chuck schumer's hot mike moment, if that's true, then donald trump can do a lot more. because people are bound to him for reasons other than policy. then you look at the republicans. i don't know how much bob marley you listen to. he said you can run and run and run away but you can't run away from yourself. you have a lot of republicans running away from their own record on immigration issues. take a look at this. >> call the press off. >> are you going through with the president negotiating with democrats? >> i've got to catch an airplane. sorry about that. >> do you support a bill that doesn't have the wall being built? >> i support enforcement. >> that's not exactly an answer of the. >> i've got to go. >> bill? >> look, the deal that is some combination of, if it's daca, legalization but not necessarily a path to citizenship. combined with heightened enforcement and not quite a wall. they can add that to a continuing resolution, debt ceiling, tax deal, infrastructure deal. he would lose some republican votes but he

the only one was going to be nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. the republicans have no one to blame but themselves. >> bret: what they say behind the scenes is that he took the first offer. he blindsided them, and now come december, as you heard in the sound bite, chuck schumer and the democrats have a chip to play in the negotiations of whatever is happening. tax reform, whatever is happening. >> trump was clear. he did want a bipartisan win. the problem is, no one to trust. 48 hours ago, nancy pelosi was calling him a political coward over over daca. the first time he doesn't get democrats what they want, they are going to feedback calling him a racist or whatever. >> to your point, this poisons the well going forward. republicans in congress are never going to know when trump might sell them out, when he might tell them one thing on monday and doing something else tuesday. certainly if you imagine the worst-case scenario. there is movement for impeachment, democrats are not going to be defending him. have all of the surreal plot twists, this i

katty: chuck schumer is a new yorker, donald trump is a new yorker. they have known each other for donkey's years. paul ryan and mitch mcconnell, the republicans, not so obvious stall mates with donald trump. chris: he may be sending a message to republicans with this meeting. people say it is so unusual he is bringing democrats over. george bush used to do it all the time. eight years of gridlock under barack obama -- she did not even have democratic members to the white house. donald trump says, bring everyone in. he has been doing that at the oval office and other meetings. he does bring it to a new level. reagan did it with two colonial famously in the 1980's. -- with tip o'neill famously in the 1980's. with donald trump i don't think it is surprising. he is saying to the republicans, if you don't work with me, i can work with democrats. i think the americans want that kind of president. christian: he is desperate for a legislative when. how consumed or how derailed has he been by these pressure investigations in congress and by obamacare? -- russ

almost a similar constraint on chuck schumer. and you can't move anything without those republican leaders. >> you know what? neither can paul ryan. that -- i think one of the reasons the president is disrespectful of paul ryan is that paul ryan doesn't have power either because he doesn't control the majority of the house of representatives. he controls a majority of the republican faction within the republican party within the house of representatives but not enough to pass bills so he -- ryan's position is more analogous to that of nancy pelosi than the traditional majority leader versus minority leader. but it is amazing that donald trump thinks -- of course chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are jolly with him. they have his watch. they have his wallet. why wouldn't they be pleased? >> right. let's listen to what steve king said about this today. >> if there's amnesty delivered into this package then i don't know that any candidate could run for president again and make a promise and expect the people to accept that promise. i t

chuck schumer done this had question, as well. they're looking at the potential for majorities not the potential of a democratic primary in 2020. the most interesting element by far is that either side you talk to either polls love it. republicans in nrsc, everybody hammering this today, throwing out ads wanting to tie everybody to this issue that democrats on the left and the far left are thrilled to have out there. we're all in ingredient. everybody is very excited today for single payer. both republicans and democrats. not single payer. we were talking about this before. the details here matter an enormous amount. there's the top line medicare for all, single payer, government run health care if you're a republican. how you pay for it, what does it cover long-term? those are crucial. >> i just want to put up polling numbers. if you look at these numbers, the debate the american people, ask them should the government be more involved in your health care? if you look at the numbers from 2000 to 2017, you get essentially pretty st

. >> the white house insists the president did not cut in official deal with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi last night when they all sat down. instead there is what appears to be a framework, open to the possibility of a deal of protections for dreamers in order in response to a quid pro quo, for massive border security. >> we are working on a plan to get massive border control, working on a plan for the 20. people want to see that happen. we went massive border security, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer agree with that. >> the missing part of the equation is the wall. at one point when the president left the white house he said the wall would come later but a couple hours later when he landed in florida he toughed up the talk saying the wall is vital, something that he certainly sees as a top priority. trish: before we do any work on immigration we got to secure the borders, that wall needs to get bills before anything else. you twiddling freedom caucus member andy eggs. what is your reaction to the president having it both ways? >> he ran on the same thing i did, building a wall, bor

last night president have met with democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and, of course, once it was over the race for the press release saying in part, tonight we had a productive meeting with president trump, we agreed to a plan to work out an agreement to protect our nations dreamers from deportation. we insisted that the bipartisan dream act would be the basis for that protection and we would review border security measures that didn't include building a wall. the president responded this morning and tweeted out, no deal was made last night on dhaka, massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for content. now there will also be subject to a vote, the wall which is already under construction in the form of the renovation of old and existing fences and walls will continue to be built. this afternoon the president responded further. he sought down the claim that a deal was in place and that the border wall would not be built. here is the president and his own words not chuck and nancy's. >> we have to have an understanding that whether it's in the bud

this is carrying bipartisanship to a new level, dining with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and not with the republican leaders? >> reporter: it's incredibly significant, andrea, and i think it underscores the extent to which the president feels burned by the process of trying to overhaul obamacare. he felt as though he couldn't get the votes needed in his own party. he felt as though republican leadership didn't do what they needed to do to take the ball over the finish line. so as he looks to things like tax reform, infrastructure reform, the bottom line is he needs votes. so he's turning to the democratic leadership to try to work with them. i think the tax reform is going to be one of the topics at the forefront when he has dinner with pelosi and schumer tonight, but i also think they'll be discussing immigration as well as possibly health care, maybe some fixes to obamacare. this is significant and it marks really a new strategy here at the white house, and it comes, andrea, since meeting with a bipartisan group of house members today. after that dinner with the bipartisan members l

chuck schumer has doubled down. in fact he still, for the debt eventually i deal not including the wall will get done, he repeated it on a hot mic circumstance earlier today. i don't think there's any doubt he believes it. >> trace: deal or no deal, trump seems to be upsetting the conservative republicans, his base that helped him get elected. >> there's no question. there is no easy way to put this. for some, it's a bait and switch. we were sent to the white house to defend this country's immigration policy to uphold the who are here unlawfully aren't going to stay here. that's been the contention among many in the president's own party. ann coulter has been tweeting all day long. she is a pundit and an outspoken pundit. you saw steve king. let me share this tweet from ann coulter, one of several. if you follow her on twitter, you're probably going to see a dozen tweets. "if we are not going to get a wall, i prefer president pence." in wall, how and when remains to be seen. >> trace: we need some clarity. kevin cor

than chuck schumer. once he's in the room, it's hard to get him out of the room. >> ileana, you had incredible reporting over the last couple of days. take us inside this new reality in washington. >> well, let's see how long it lasts. it's something i have hinted at in my reporting because the president's ability to go from calling him crying chuck with the acting coach and fake tears one day to paling around with him the next day is quintessential trump. deep down, he does feel an affinity for chuck schumer that he doesn't feel for mitch mcconnell. he has exhibited absolutely no interest in leading the republican party in protecting its congressional majorities or serving as its, you know, ideological backbone in any way that's why you see him insulting incumbent republicans who would help firm up republican majorities in the house and in the senate. and he behaves the way he does simply based on who he likes and doesn't like. the fact is he doesn't like mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and they haven't m

he made a deal with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. it's a deal the vast majority of american people will support. he'll get good press and maybe an up tick in his approval ratings as he did temporarily last week when he made the first deal with the democrats. so that's the basic reality. the thing about the base that 12%, the only question about that is, and i agree with what's been said, but the sort of mean-spirited attitude toward immigration and immigrants. you know, kind of making common cause with the steve kings of the world. that was part of donald trump's original brand. so it is understandable that the base will go crazy over there, and it won't bring him down, but it will be potentially a problem for him. >> oh harold ford junior, my friend, this is -- there's a lot about this that's fascinating. one of the things that is just a reality in washington d.c. is that donald trump can go and cut a deal, so to speak, with these democrats, but in reality, those democrats cannot actually bring legislation to the floor. they can't -

we know chuck schumer is not going to have a giveaway on both side. we want to make this a jobs bill that lead to higher wages and puts money back in the hands of everyday americans. charles: what about mitch mcconnell changing the rule? ford: that's exactly what should happen. mitch mcconnell should kill the legislative filibuster. when the democrats take back house and senate, that's precisely what they are going to do. >> no disrespect, senator kus' plan is dead on arrival. and it wasn't the democrats that said there will be no tax cuts for the wealthy, it was president trump. that wasn't a democrats' plan that was a republican president's plan. charles: we know that the upper echelon of income earners in america overwhelmingly pay their taxes. having said that, is there room to raise their taxes on spur investments and include a 15%. 8 democrat vote is a bridge too far and ultimately maybe mcconnell will come to the rescue. >> they had reconciliation. they can get 50 votes. ford: if you want true tax reform it will require 8 democrats. charles: th

the president tweeting this morning there's no deal that he truck with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and said the border wall will be built, but the democrats have a different take on it. the information and the breaking news is coming in fast and furious this morning. matt, if the president, if nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and what they say is correct, and the president agreed to some protection for d.r.e.a.m.ers without a border wall do you feel betrayed? >> no. i like the fact that the president, unlike some people who are whining that president trump is spending too much time about the d.r.e.a.m.ers, and everybody should attempt to work with the opposition. if they can come up with deals on issues that the country cares about, i am all for it. i could see a deal here yet but could be one in the future. >> when you say whining, before i get to simone, let me read what i think you are referring to. with the tweets, they were coming up with rapid fire succession after alleged word of the deal hit, and steve king said the trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable and dissoluti

why is he reaching out to chuck schumer or at least working with them. why weren't paul ryan and mitch mcconnell there at the white house? >> because the president can take the hit more than the republican leaders. think about it, republican leaders have tried to push this through. when i say this, i'm talking about any kind of immigration reform that has to do with any legal status for undocumented immigrants, again, for a decade. and it hasn't worked. republicans in congress feel that he has the credibility with the base. and he's the only one who can-can make the deal and turn to congress and say, i did this. go ahead, mr. republican leader in the house and the he senate. but there is no question it is is going to cost the president. you interviewed him. i interviewed him since he started running for president. i believe in husband heart of hearts he doesn't want to kick these people out of the country. that was the one thing he was extremely consistent on throughout the entire two years he's been in politics. >> as you know, steve bannon was on "60 m

tomorrow he's going to make the pitch to chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. how he makes it and what he is offering is anyone's guess but the president is confident this will get done and furthermore will get done this year. we are all over it on fox business tomorrow. >> eboni: i'm eboni k. williams with cath tip and brian kilmeade. this is "the fox news specialists" a big week for president trump taking off with a bang. jeff sessions announcing the trump administration is ending the program. the decision creating a firestorm in washington and beyond. we go to chief white house correspondent john roberts. >> good afternoon. the white house has portrayed this as the president during the responsible thing because daca could have been suec
