consequences. reporter: republicans could afford to lose just two votes, but tonight tonight, there are now nine gop senators who say they cannot support this bill. moderates, because it cuts too deep. conservatives because it doesn t cut enough. this is not just abstract numbers. these are real people. reporter: outside the capitol, democrats try to put a face to the bill. holding pictures of americans they say will suffer. while inside, the vice president arrives to rally republican support. the president s chief of staff and press secretary are spotted too. but their all-out push fails to do the trick. we will not be on the bill this week, but we re still working toward getting at least 50 people in a comfortable place. and mary bruce joins us from capitol hill, and senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell came out of the that white house meeting tonight saying they have a good chance of eventually striking a deal, but tonight, the math is getting worse, not better. repor
go. can you figure out how he paid for it? no. i think that s the problem. when you say that you re going to cut taxes by 5 trillion over ten years, you really have to say how you re going to make that revenue neutral, that is how you re not going to lose all that revenue, how you re going to make it back. what he says is we ll close loopholes. okay, tell me one loophole you re going to close and we can t find it in there. the democrats say this election will play is central role in the mid term strategy but do you think it could be a rallying point for fiscal conservatives? there are very conservative fiscal policy types that are arguing he doesn t cut enough. so i think it s ryan himself representative ryan will tell you himself this is not a real budget he thinks is going to be fact enacted.
a rally for justice in the mysterious death, kendrick johnson, and a new call for justice from his heartbroken parents. stay with us. nothing says, you re my #1 copilot, like a milk-bone biscuit. say it with milk-bone. open to innovation. open to ambition. open to bold ideas. that s why new york has a new plan dozens of tax free zones all across the state. move here, expand here, or start a new business here and pay no taxes for ten years.
on the other hand you had conservative republicans who said it doesn t cut enough. they fell off and what you have was a middle that s not big enough. that is the problem in washington these days. candy, thank you so much. appreciate it. going to be looking forward to your show on sunday. she s going to be talking with senators rand paul. that s on sunday. a child, this is amazing born, hears for the first time. his parents explain how he s learning to hear.
the best thing that could happen. some of the things are draconian. there are a lot of cuts that might be surprising and fbi agents and cuts in treatment to the mentally ill and cuts in food inspection. irs agents. you know, brenda, some cuts are better than no cuts, i ll give you that, but this is no solution, it was supposed to be a backup plan for doing something smart and it is to the speaker s point, arbitrary, a bit of a meat ax and doesn t cut enough. and it will seem like we solved the problem like we did with the tax, but yet the budget deficit will not go away under any form of the decade. it s got cuts and arbitrary and some things cutting, irs agents, yeah, going to save salary that year, but going to do less audits and more treasures to the salary. this doesn t save necessarily anything for the government if it s arbitrary cuts. you ve got to be careful about the larger cuts that don t hurt revenue earnings
