this time last year, hillary clinton was bashing then fellow candidate don ald trump over his treatment of women, after the release of an access hollywood tape in which he was caught on a hot mike talking about grabbing women s genitals. donald trump goes after women s dignity and their self-worth. a hollywood heavyweight and major democratic donor, there s been no such backlash from clinton or obama. who also benefited from the movie mogul s support over the years, that silence hasn t gone unnoticed. with republicans like national committee chairman calling out what they view as hypocrisy. where s hillary clinton, where is she standing on this issue. she s been silent. her silence is deafening. donald trump jr. tweeting,
boring, trump would say and we re going to build that wall. and everybody everybody would go crazy. it s like ac/dc. it was a rhetorical device. even it originated so he would remember to talk about immigration in his campaign speeches. even saying at the freedom caucus, we re not paying for that crap. look, the republicans, paul ryan essentially punted on this question yesterday. he said look, the president is for this, then i am not going to be bound by my promise to make sure there s a majority of republicans. i think that says it all. but the other telling thing from yesterday on this was chuck schumer was caught on a hot mike, talking to we think mitch mcconnell saying the president likes us or at least he likes me. and i think that explains everything about this. because the president sure does not feel that way about mitch mcconnell. julie pace, we have said here
to be more on how do we deal with nation states? how do we define red lines? we re in a world now that is completely connected. when we see an attack like this, we ll see some cascading impact and it will be devastating. nation states have to set the tone and ensure we re working to eave our country. and don t read it right before bed. er. it is not that scary. it is. it will keep you up at night but buy it either way. and don t to go bed just yet either. how a hot mike led to that torching. and it s friday. you know what that means on the beat. is day. and i m still not ready. the reason i m telling you this is that
so the message that they re trying to send to him is, fine, take the lead on immigration but clue us in. we can help you not mess this up. an it s not really clear right now if the president really thinks that highly of his traditional allies on capitol hill. chuck schumer on the other hand thinks things are going pretty well. he was caught yesterday on the senate floor on a hot mike. we ll take a look at that and then chat about it. he likes us. he likes me anyway. look. what he said is exactly accurate. here s what i told him. i said, mr. president, you re much better off if you side right and side left. one direction, you re boxed. always going to work out and make us more productive, too. so, amber, my question to you is, how much danger is there for chuck schumer and the president liking him too much? does he end up with backlash from the democratic left? we ll see. depends what happens. right? out of that relationship of him
i m goin up the country, baby don t you wanna go? geico motorcycle, great rates for great rides. senate democratic leader chuck schumer was caught on a hot mike on the senate floor saying that the president likes him, he likes him, and saying he was going to work with democrats to protect dreamers. it was a whirlwind 24 hours of political ping-pong. joining me now is bill ccrystal editor at large, and msnbc contributor. how embarrassing is this for
