Priebus echoing his complaints about media coverage. The truth is we dont have problems in the west wing. You read about the stories i dont get along with bannon. Actually, weve gelled as a team, and we get along great, and were working well together, and the amount of drama and spin that you read about mostly in the Washington Daily Gossip Rags is unbelievable stuff and isnt true. And you read it every day and wonder what Alternative Universe theyre reporting on . Harris we have fox team coverage, Garrett Tenney is following developments and the possible Executive Order on immigration coming at any time. We begin with Kristen Fisher traveling with the president in palm beach, florida. You and i saw each other friday when he got there. The president met with four candidates for National Security job today, but may not be done interviewing, i understand . Reporter thats right, the white house says President Trump could be meeting with
more candidates tomorrow. On top of the four candida
house democrats were in the majority, this is not exactly the bill we would have written. however, in a divided government, knowing that monday we will default on our debt for the first time in american history without congressional action, i believe overall this is a fair agreement. i applaud the white house for negotiating as well as they did. so many of the things, the extreme things republicans wanted initially are not in this bill, and, you know, for me, i often find the most difficult vote is not necessarily on a controversial issue like abortion or guns. i intuitively know where i stand on those, the most difficult vote is when you have legislation in front of you where there s some things in there you agree with and some things you don t agree with and having to make that judgment. it sounds a little like, well, this is the best we could do under the circumstances, would it be fair to describe, and i know you ve had lots of conversations with lots of democrats that the suppor
they say a lot what you say, it could have been a lot worse. was this a win for the republicans? i really don t see it, although i want to say that rather quietly at the moment because kevin mccarthy has to deliver about 2/3 of his house republican conference, and there s a real doubt. do you have a doubt? i have a doubt whether he can get a requisite number. i do think it will pass. in terms of his claim that this is the most conservative bill ever to pass, you might be shocked to learn kevin mccarthy is not telling the truth on that. the 2011 deal that was made between then president obama and speaker boehner, that was ten years of caps. they were really devastating financial constraints, so much so that mainstream economists subsequently said it dramatically slowed the pace of the recovery. there s not anything like that in this bill. in fact, it basically holds nondefense spending flat for the
alabama is moving once again to target transgender athletes. republican governor kay ivey signed a law which prevents transwomen from playing on female teams from grades 3 through 12 to now include college athletes. this comes after laws to restrict bathroom use, and locker rooms. that law has been temporarily blocked by a judge pending a challenge. as the republican presidential field continues to grow, so does support for donald trump. a brand new poll shows nearly half of republicans think trump is the strongest candidate to beat joe biden in 2024, and an additional 18% think he s probably the strongest candidate. but will this trend continue if ron desantis begins to counter punch? and as trump s most prominent
his caucus in line. i think republicans need to own this vote. this was their deal. this was their negotiations. kevin mccarthy needs to put up his votes, and if he needs mine, he can come get it, and he can come negotiate some things away. this is not our deal. this is a right wing center right deal, and if we want to have credibility with the progressive wing of the party, then we need to be able to show that we re fighting for them. i want to welcome pennsylvania democratic congressman brendan boyle, ranking member of the house budget committee and a member of the progressive caucus. good to have you here. you heard what aoc and pramila jayapal had to say. for them, they feel deeply this bill does not represent what they consider to be core democratic values, yet you support it. what s your argument? i testified for over three hours in front of the house rules committee yesterday evening, and what i said there is exactly what i believe, that this is not a perfect bill if
