senator schumer: we just keep at it. the same groups, many of them, that were mobilized, the same grassroots groups that were mobilized letting the country know what the real health care bill was are now focused on taxes. the mueller investigation is going to proceed along on its own. we hope there's no interference obviously there'd be an outrage if there were. but we're going to be focusing on taxes for the next several weeks. >> there's a big tax rally tomorrow. >> three senate democrats didn't sign on to the initial letter stating your initial principles. senator schumer: everyone will make up their minds. but the three who didn't sign on did basically agree with the principles. >> what about sunset provisions? is this something democrats will push for? senator schumer: we'll have to see the individual package. we think the whole plan should sunset in about three minutes. >> have you talked to any republicans about this proposal and what was their reaction? senator schumer: i have not talked to republicans on the 401

schumer: good afternoon everyone. i want to thank my colleagues, two wonderful colleagues, for joining me here today. as everyone knows, president trump put down his phone for an hour to come to the senate republican luncheon to talk tax reform. unfortunately, what the president says about tax reform has been correctly characterized by senator corker as "untruths," and corker was being kind. let's review a few of what the president says that is totally divorced, what the president says and what the republican plan does are polar opposites. the president said this is not a plan for the rich. blatantly untrue. untruth number one that this plan is not a plan for the rich. it repeals the estate tax, which benefits the 11,000 wealthiest estates in the country, each one more than $5 million. it lowers the top rate. untruth number two. allowing hedge fund owners and big law firms to take advantage. three, it provides a path -- a pass-through so very wealthy people can pay a lower rate than average americans. it is totally un

schumer: president trump always like to point fingers of blame. one day it is senator mcconnell, when they senator corker, one day the democrats. yacht to look in the mirror. is not getting anything -- he ought to look at the mirror. the reason he is not getting anything done is because he spends all his time attacking people and not any time solving problems. >> [inaudible] sen. schumer: we haven't seen the bill. they haven't asked us to make it better. thaton't put down a bill focuses on the wealthy, raises taxes on the middle-class, blows a hole in the deficit, and cuts medicare and medicaid, and then say, tinker at the edges and work with us. the way bipartisanship works is you sit down at the table and come up with a bill that both parties can support. that means that some people in each party may not support it, particularly those more at each end. but the way to compromise, the way to bipartisanship, isn't a bill with totally drawn up by republicans, thrown down on the desk, and say, support it. that is not what bipartisanship means. it nev

senator schumer: no sense. the president says he wants infrastructure on one hand and his bucket slashes programs in the transportation budget and just doesn't add up. and he was told and i was glad he said this, he told congressman and senators, republicans and democrats that he realizes that they don't work. he told me on the phone, i relled they don't work. i won't tell you which that tried this and failed. isaid do you mean indiana and said vice president pence told you this? and he said yes. [ [indiscernible] senator schumer: it's not going to serve their purposes because the amount of deficit or the amount of people the that will be hurt are huge. my guess is 90% of the people wouldn't be covered. there aren't that many people who make over a million dollars but the people $100,000. reporter: can you address the republicans saying that their plan is middle-class tax relief and don't know the amount of child tax credits -- senator schumer: it is impossible, impossible to have this be a tax package that's a

schumer: i do see some of that. here's the problem -- particularly in the house, there are a lot of republican congressman that will be adversely affected. take long island. you have a family, a teacher and police officer who have an income of about $150,000. they pay from their property tax and their income tax a lot. theiry do not get deduction, then the standard deduction will not even come close to it. my guess is that you are going 50 republicans saying that they cannot vote for this because it raises taxes on their core constituency. that is the lesson they learned in 1986. i was part of it. point, weleader's heard in the committee how members are already talking about how this could be seen as double taxation. republicans see that as a fundamental principle of the senate republican economic thinking. said, two, as the leader this is not just breaking into a blue state or red state issue. we are going to see great swaths of the country, not just one or two places, but many folks paying significant local taxes.

this is what chuck schumer says. he says that the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace. i told the president that, as you noted, is off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing health care system, we democrats are open to his suggestions. a good place to start might be the lamar alexander, a republican, and patty murray negotiations that would stabilize the system and lower costs. so the bottom line is there is a bipartisan bill in the system right now. it's what the democrats want the focus to be on. republicans have been campaigning from the very beginning saying they would repeal and replace obamacare. democrats say repealing is a nonstarter for them. so unless both sides are willing to find something close to the middle, it's not clear exactly how far this can go. >> thank you for the latest from the white house. >>> let's bring in elise jordan, former senior advisor to senator rand paul, also peter emerson, a veteran of three democratic administrations and a "huffingt

trump administration, he's on the phone with chuck schumer. chuck schumer says, here is what he said, the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace, i told the president that's off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing health care system, we democrats are open to

schumer: well, mr. president, first on health care, my two good friends, senators alexander and murray, have constructed a good, fair, bipartisan agreement that gives us a way forward on health care. it will offer stability to the markets. it will help lower premiums. and we've seen president trump's near constant equivocation on the agreement. we shouldn't let it impede the progress of this very important bipartisan compromise. he's for the bill one day, against it the next. that's not uncommon. the president sometimes is for and against something in the same sentence. we can only hope he comes around and grasps what's in the bill. the alexander-murray bill is not a bailout to the insurance companies at all. it's the opposite. we've taken pains to ensure that insurance companies do not reap any benefits from this program. that's what alexander and murray have done. they have had explicit provisions in the bill to ensure that the cost-sharing program does what it's intended to do: lower premiums, deduct

trump keeps extending to schumer, schumer is letting him know we're in control of this process. repeal and replace is off the table. let's try something else. i find that astounding. >> how about you, jonathan. >> i find it astounding but also encouraging. a lot of americans wanted bipartisanship. lamar alexander is a republican. patty murray is a democrat. they have been working for weeks in the senate to try to craft a bill that does not repeal and replace obamacare, but strengthens our healthcare system for all americans. that's what everybody should want. if the president joins these bipartisan senators in moving in that direction, it would be very positive. then he can call it anything he wants. he can call it trump care if he wants to, but it will strengthen obamacare and be good for the country. >> okay. let's get to the numbers i was citing there. the trump administration, when they see these kinds of numbers, how do you think they'll explain them? >> i think that since the president took the oath of office in january, i don't think this white house is very keen when it

schumer: we give some states flexibility that we did focus -- to fall below the score. [inaudible] >> we have made proposals to bring down drug prices. thank you, everybody.

i'm going to tell chuck schumer you just talked about right to life in america. is congress going to start looking into the hippa records and medical health records of individuals as the opposed from taking guns from law abiding americans. >> i don't think the congress or the government should determine who gets a job. i said the private sector should have an understand industry created to determine who should have guns. >> because criminals are absolutely going to buy insurance. they will be the first ones in line for gun insurance. judge jeanine: here's the problem with understand. then you have a national registry, don't you. just what you wanted. back in a moment. >> if we could make a deal at least on a temporary basis, because obamacare is exploding, it's gone. the premiums are through the roof. you see what's happening. ultimately we are going to block grant back to the states. if we made a temporary deal, obamacare is a disaster. the numbers are out. it's exploding like i said it would. judge jeanine: that's president trump sounding like he may be willing

schumer said. the president said i called schumer yesterday to see if the democrats want to healthcare bill. obamacare badly broken. big premiums, who knows, well then schumer shoots back the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace and i told the president that's off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing healthcare system, we democrats are open to his suggestions. hey, how about this? a good place to start might be the alexander murray negotiations that would stabilize the system and lower costs. you really see a convergence of interest with alexander murray? >> yes. and i think that we will in the end probably see something here, some agreement that continues to fund obamacare. ultimately, look, that graham cassidy bill that funding for block granting to the states the president and schumer, the president has been talking about probably will come back next year. senator graham said it will after they are done with tax reform. i think the president's hop

senator schumer: it depends how much you want to save. our idea of a credit for employers who contribute will benefit low-income too. >> what do you say to republicans who say if all you have to do is increase g.d.p. rowth by .4% per year. senator schumer: that doesn't pay for the whole package, at least a $5 trillion package we've seen. we don't know how many offsets they'll put in there like this one. second, the bottom line is, this theory churned out by right wing think tanks that growth will occur because of these tax cuts is absurd and all of our examples, president bush said this in the same right wing think tank said it in 2001 and 2003 they predicted a surplus in 10 years. instead, according to c.b.o. the deficit was $1.6 trillion because of the bush tax cuts. the state of kansas, so obvious what happened, again, home of the koch brothers, great experiment, dramatically cut taxes, we'll have real growth. they predicted, for instance, that the government income would be up $300 million. it was down $700 million. they predicted tha

here's what chuck schumer said in a statement posted a little earlier today. he said the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace and i told the president that's off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the kpexisting health ce system, we democrats are open to his suggestions. a good place might be to go to the alexander-murray negotiations that would stabilize the system and lower costs. i spoke to some democrats and republicans today on this topic. democrats say specifically, alex, in the wake of the move by this administration just yesterday, a controversial move about a controversial requirement of obamacare, rolling back that birth control mandate, democrats are saying, you know, before the president really wants to work with us, he has to stop in their words sabotaging some of the key provisions that exist in obamacare right now. >> all right, peter alexander, thank you from the white house. >>> continuing the conversation, i'm joined by john harwood and white house correspondent for "usa today" heidi przybyla. with a good

i called chuck schumer and told him that. the president said to me, why don't you negotiate with senator murray and try to get one, meaning a short-term bipartisan deal. i said, well, what about the c.s.r. payments? he said, i can put them back and you can use that to -- that as a negotiating deal. i told him i was working on an agreement with senator murray. he said finish it and let me know. he called me saturday and we talked twice yesterday. i reported to the president that we had finished our negotiations and that we're here today to present to the senate the agreement we recommend. the bill has 22 sponsors, half democrat, half republican. very few bills come to the floor with that many cosponsors originally. there are a number on the republican side and a number on the democratic side who support the idea. i ask consent that the text of the cosponsors that i'm about to read be inserted in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. alexander: i ask consent that the text of the agreement that senator murray

we're now hearing from chuck schumer specifically about that conversation. here's the statement that he put out detailing what the two men spoke about last night. he says the president wanted to make another run at repeal and replace and i told the president that's off the table. if he wants to work together to improve the existing health care system we democrats are open to suggestions. a good place to start might be the stand-murray negotiations that would stabilize the system and lower costs. but one thing that's critical to understand a lot of democrats feel like the president can't help fix the problem if he's part of the problem, they are accusing this administration of effectively sabotaging obamacare, most recently just yesterday announcing new rules told roll back a key obamacare mandate that would require employers to provide free birth control coverage to employees. this is not the first dance with democrats for president trump. as you noted a matter of months ago working with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi on funding the government, dealing with

i'm going to tell chuck schumer you just talked about right to life in america. is congress going to start looking into the hippa records and medical health records of individuals as the opposed from taking guns from law abiding americans. >> i don't think the congress or the government should determine who gets a job. i said the private sector should have an understand industry created to determine who should have guns. >> because criminals are absolutely going to buy insurance. they will be the first ones in line for gun insurance. judge jeanine: here's the problem with understand. then you have a national registry, don't you. just what you wanted. back in a moment. >> if we could make a deal at least on a temporary basis, because obamacare is exploding, it's gone. the premiums are through the roof. you see what's happening. ultimately we are going to block grant back to the states. if we made a temporary deal, obamacare is a disaster. the numbers are out. it's exploding like i said it would. judge jeanine: that's president trump sounding like he may be willing

the president giving schumer a phone call. schumer is probably going to say he has chills and fever next time he gets a note saying the president is calling. >> on the other hand, michael, we know that schumer has said i'm not going to be part of preeling. -- part of repealing. schumer also knows the last time he made a deal with the president related to the debt ceiling and when it related to harvey, he got an enormous win there and chuck and nancy as everybody began calling them walked way with big wins. does this signal perhaps that the president is just looking for a win, looking to be able to sign something, regardless of what it is, giving democrats an opportunity? if so, how do they take advantage of it? >> i think you absolutely nailed it. repealing the aca is entirely as we have seen again and again a discussion internal to the republican party. so i do believe that's a nonstarter. but in the broader picture of this president understanding that in senator schumer he has somebody if they come to the table with good int

schumer: thank you, angus. senator? >> [indiscernible] as you are hearing, we are willing to sit down with the others. fighting efforts to get the health care system in order to pay for tax cuts to the and we aremericans, -- there are coming up with 80% tax cuts. -- certainly more than the vast amount of people make. be average tax cut will $200,000 to the majority of these people. [indiscernible] will bet $1.5 trillion dead for our grandkids. the rest of it comes in part rom getting medicaid -- gutting medicaid. the majority of senior citizens in nursing homes are there because of medicaid and health care. this is a big deal. getting medicaid and coupling , for hundredicare $73 billion in medicare cuts. -- $473 billion in medicare cuts. [indiscernible] every single republican knows that this is wrong. [inaudible] this is wrong. people in myor state and it is wrong for people and the country. in terms ofrds what our priorities are, [indiscernible] >> last and certainly not least. >> away all i think, no that this is an

lindsey graham, republican, schumer a democrat. both on the same page. >> i can say this to the families. they were there to defend american. i didn't know there was 1,000 troops in niger. john mccain is right to say because this is an endless war without boundaries, you've got to tell us more. >> he didn't know we had 1,000 troops in niger. did you? >> no, i did not. >> let's deal with how terrible this is. it is is their job to vote on these. they haven't held a vote since 2002 for the iraq war. why aren't they to blame for what happened in niger? you want to look at trump and how he deals with the families of the fall especially, fine. they won't hold a debate. they did one in 2002 for the iraq war. they have never touched it again. they got burned. lawmaker after lawmaker will say we're going to take it up. we're going to talk bit. they never do a damn thing. obama put the troops in there in 2013. schumer didn't know? graham talks about our role around the worrell all the time. he didn't know? why isn't it on them? >> it is is

schumer telling the president that's off the table. instead, promoting a bipartisan deal already in the works that would stabilize the existing system. many democrats remain skeptical of his intentions. arguing his administration is sabotaging obama care. rolling back a key requirement that employers provide free birth control coverage. >> chuck and nancy would like to see something happen, and so would i. >> reporter: last month, siding with schumer and pelosi to keep the government running. steve scalise with chuck todd explaining why. >> the president looked and said, if the senate republicans aren't going to be able to move an agenda, maybe i'll look around. >> reporter: also tonight, another ominous comment. years of diplomacy with north korea have failed. only one thing will work, what is it? he told me, you'll figure that out pretty soon. after our exclusive report of friction between the president and the secretary of state, rex tillerson, they disagree on a couple things, saying, sometimes i'd like him to be a little tougher.

i'm going to tell chuck schumer you just talked about right to life in america. is congress going to start looking into the hippa records and medical health records of individuals as the opposed from taking guns from law abiding americans. >> i don't think the congress or the government should determine who gets a job. i said the private sector should have an understand industry created to determine who should have guns. >> because criminals are absolutely going to buy insurance. they will be the first ones in line for gun insurance. judge jeanine: here's the problem with understand. then you have a national registry, don't you. just what you wanted. back in a moment. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight... four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. ♪ hungry eyes ♪ one look at you and i can't disguise ♪ ♪ i've got hungr

the question is how badly does chuck schumer and nancy pelosi want to shield dreamers from deportation if they really want to, they're going to have to give all these other elements of security that they have voted for in the past. >> harris: is a good goal to get to the game and he's trying to get democrats to do that for force and that gives republic and some cover too because it allows them to say that they are willing to bend on something too. but i want to get to a point of fact that i think is important for americans to know because i think sometimes democrats breeze over this. was where we of the understanding that when we talk about getting rid of daca going forward, there is not a grandfathering and of the people who were already here or how will that work exactly? >> david: when the policy was rolled out, the administration was pretty clear that if you have no criminal record, you're not going to be deported. as part of that. >> harris: on notice is not what an democrats are saying great we are ripping us off like a band-aid and taking every hair off your arm with it. >> davi

chuck schumer says he refused the overture. it was the president's latest overture to democrats after reaching the bipartisan spending deal. the president also making news today on his cabinet. here to talk about all of that is philip, writer for "the washington examiner." thanks for joining us tonight. >> thanks for having me. molly: let's talk about that news about the cabinet. we have been talking about rich tillerson and whether or not he will stay or go but also what about secretary john kelly? >> i think president trump has a tight knit cabinet and he has decided to move forward with the group of people he has so far. this is a president who makes up his mind day to day. i think that anyone who is trying to get into his mind set, unless you've heard words out of his own mouth, it's probably speculation. molly: the chief of staff john kelly potentially staying on for the long haul as well as rex tillerson. we will see if that comes to pass. things seem to change in washington all the time especially with this white house.

brian: and this is what chuck schumer said. we are open to reasonable border security. but this list goes so far beyond what is reasonable. >> well, i would like to know what chuck schumer think so is reasonable because you almost every day, every week, certainly, have somebody on who has lost loved ones because an illegal immigrant has murdered them or killed them or i've stood shoulder to shoulder. i've met these families. the president, more importantly, has acknowledged them. and if we would just enforce the laws that exist. if we would stop providing sanctuary to folks who have been deported multiple times, broken the law multiple times. if we would lift up the american worker, raise their pay. if we would make sure that simple things. what's reasonable is to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and also of the drugs coming over the border. the president has been very clear about that too. all the drugs coming over the border has to stop as well. and i would like to know what senator schumer think so is reasonable when we just see the statistics alone in terms of pe

reporter: so chuck schumer calling it what you heard him say. let's hear what kevin brady said this morning what is coming tomorrow, he is the one writing tax reform bill in the house. there is tax relief at every level. we're doing it in the way people keep more of what they earn regardless where they live. back to you, trish. trish: thanks so much, adam. joining me for more, bell point chief strategist david nelson and heritage capital president paul fast. president putting a deadline on this thing. looks increasingly it might happen. white house thinks it has got the votes it needs. david, will we look at lower taxes come the new year? >> i certainly hope so. the hope is the corporate tax code, we have to 20%. my hope they won't phase it in. the president is right. it will only stall the process. you will hear from the left, marginal tax rate for the united states corporations is lot lower. that is simply doesn't take into account thousands of companies that have left the united states for a lower tax status. if our tax reform or rather our t

it's senator schumer who did. so, look, the question i have this morning for the administration and for anybody who will listen over there is, okay, sounds like they're looking for a way to do something. something semi temporary. what does this mean? where is this going? if you're a senate republican, this probably does frustrate you. it's the president saying i'm giving up on the republicans helping me. looks like i have to work with schumer. >> we have the president working on health care, tax reform and a situation with north korea. this ominous language, the one thing will work tweet. is this a bluff from president trump? >> look, this is what we debate all the time with some of his tweets. this is on top of what we had earlier this week when he did the calm before the storm interaction. you'll see, look, i think -- and i said it then and you and i have talked about this both off camera and on, which is i think we always have to remember, president -- candidate trump, private citizen trump and president trump

once you get to know him, chuck schumer is not that bad. i know why he has been so hard on the president, it has nothing to do with ideology. is mads mad -- chuck that he lost his top donut. [applause] , he is ryan: look, chuck 66 years old. which makes him part of the democratic leadership youth movement. [laughter] now he is not even here, so i feel like i need to apologize for the last joke. at one point, i did want to repeal it replace him but i could not get into the senate. when you look at where we are this year, think about it for a second. think about all that has happened since the last dinner. it has been almost one year ago that on november 8, countless shocked americans broke into tears over the election results. enough about the press -- [laughter] speaker ryan: the truth is, the press absolutely misunderstands and never records the biggest compliments of the white house. look at all of the new jobs the president has created, just among the white house staff. [laughter] and when you read the papers tomorrow everybody will repo

chuck schumer must have known about his behavior and his antics and tactics. it is horrifying to see somebody convicted who still thinks he didn't do anything wrong until the last minute when he was convicted and cried like a baby. so the leadership in the democratic party has to look at themselves and say why are they covering this up. also, the minority leader of the democrats in the house nancy pelosi is close to 80. she's been in politics her entire life. her mentor was her father, a democratic leader and politician in maryland. she is connected to the democratic party's hollywood group by the umbilical cord. she also knew about this. that's why people are cynical about politics. and that's why president trump won 2 election. these people do not relate to the common man or the common woman. thank you for listening. guest et's hear from our in new york. guest: well, i think that -- the politicians who have had to talk about this, they all say they didn't guest know and i think it's reasonable to conclude that they're sort of being honest. this was a surpris

senator schumer and senator nelson spoke about the indictment during remarks on the senate floor. schumer: this morning the campaign manager for president trump and a close associate turn themselves into federal authorities on a dozen charges. including acting as unregistered agents of a foreign power, and conspiracy against the united states. the indictments of mr. manafort and mr. gates, show that the iscial counsel's probe progressing in a very serious way. mueller is moving forward. what we know now is that an alleged unregistered foreign agent who was charged laundering tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments on behalf of their agenda was given the chairmanship of the campaign for the presidency and united states, and with it, untold influence on a future president and his party. we know that mr. manafort has had continuing contact with the president since his resignation from the campaign. just a shocking was the admission by trump campaign manager that he met with the kremlin contact to discuss so-called dirt on secretary clinton. while we know that mr. papadop

the president said today he spoke to senate democratic leader chuck schumer about the issue. nbc's peter alexander is at the white house with more. >> reporter: tonight president trump off to fund raise for republicans but calling the senate's top democrat chuck schumer to revive obamacare talks. >> if we could do a bun-year deal or two-year deal as a temporary measure, you'll have block granting ultimately to the states, which is what the republicans want. >> reporter: the president on twitter announcing the call to see if the dems want to do a great health care bill, adding "who knows?" his presidential pivot following republicans' repeated failures to repeal and replace obamacare. schumer telling the president that's off the table, instead promoting a bipartisan deal already in the works that would stabilize the existing system. many democrats remain skeptical of mr. trump's intentions, arguing his administration's sabotaging obamacare. just yesterday rolling back a key requirement that employers provide free birth control coverage. still, it's not the president's first da

senator schumer said it is long past time for the president to do away with what schumer called his daily compulsion. >> we have a lot of serious issues to deal with in this country. our challenges are too entrenched and complex to be solved if the president spends his time in a meaningless war of words on twitter. mark: schumer says the president must start engaging in the substance of tax overhaul and that the president's rhetoric on his tax plan does not match reality. french president emmanuel macron welcomed the irish president to paris today to talk about ongoing braise i -- brexit talks, looking towards a solution beneficial for ireland and europe. -- protecting the common travel area between britain and france and doing all we can to ensure there is no return to a physical border on the island of ireland. mark: he called for more transparency from britain on the plan to exit the european union, but macron says it is up to the u.k. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is in pakistan where he spoke about the importance of finding extremists and driving them from hideouts on pakista

and chuck schumer said -- >> chuck schumer said repeal and replace obamacare is officially dead, it died its last breath a couple of weeks ago. if we take him at his word, the president has two path forward. it will be incredibly painful for everybody involved. you can try to cut a deal with them. the president is showing this past week is time to pursue vocals offered at one. maybe he will forge a certain degree of success with congressional democrats on this, but he will not get a deal to replace and repeal obamacare. whatever way you look at this going forward because the republicans failure to get this done for the president will be painful. the one i want to pick up on this because i'm curious about the politics of it. the president promised to keeping a promise to help get him elected. it on the other hand if you look at people, most people support the idea of contraception. he is turning out a majority of voters. >> in interesting dynamic here because he is not only pulling the contraception mandate but also: money for the promotion of obamacare, but is actively trying to und

the president initially said that he and chuck schumer spoke. he didn't mention repeal and replace. it was schumer who made note of that who said, hey, he asked me to revisit repeal and replace and that's a no-go zone for us. in effect it seemed like schumer was sending a message to his base, perhaps even as much as trump was sending a message to his own that he was looking for ways forward. >> well, i think you said it, peter. we'll be looking at this all through the week and see what the reaction is on capitol hill. thank you, peter alexander, from the white house. >>> flooded streets and more than 100,000 people without power in alabama and mississippi. we'll tell you where tropical storm nate is bringing its wind and rain, next. hey grandpa. hey, kid. really good to see you. you too. you tell grandma you were going fishing again? maybe.
