Netanyahu goes to capitol hill. Good morning, im Erik Schatzker. Stephanie im stephanie ruhle. We have a lot to do today. Before we do that, i want to take it to the bulletins for the top business stories of the morning. An hour from now, a joint meeting of congress will hear from Benjamin Netanyahu. The israeli Prime Minister is expected to reveal compromises the u. S. Has made while negotiating a Nuclear Agreement with iran. He is gambling those revelations will either delay or derail any possible deal. The speech is a controversial one. John boehner invited netanyahu without consulting the white house. The israeli leader spoke yesterday at the proisrael lobbying group. As Prime Minister of israel, i have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there is still time to avert them. Stephanie you can watch all of his speech to congress here starting at 11 00 a. M. That is not the only news out of congress today. Speaker boehner has agreed to hold a vote later to

Joining us on the phone is sarah mimms, staff correspondent at national journal. Lets begin with what is happening on the floor in the house and senate. Guest sure. The senate particularly is really interesting. They are coming in in very much the same position they were last week. They still have a Human Trafficking bill holding them up. They still need to confirm Loretta Lynch. They are still looking at the iran nuclear deal. Mitch mcconnell indicated he thinks they are making progress on the Human Trafficking deal. Once that gets done, that is going to be the beginning of dominoes that will allow Loretta Lynch and iran to get done. All of that this week. Host serve the house is looking at Cyber Security legislation that they will vote on. Off the floor house and Senate Negotiators are meeting to try to iron out the differences on the 2016 budget.

Version. Is this a budget that will work for working americans . Or is it a budget designed for powerful, special interests . You see, there has been a lot of rhetoric on both sides of the aisle about helping the middle class and fighting for workers but a budget document puts down real numbers, concepts, and we can see if it is just rhetoric or a vision for expanding and strengthening the middle class. I am disappointed neither the senate or house budget meets the test of fighting to make this country work better for working americans and both the house and Senate Budget and a parallel fashion are designed to help the powerful special interests. So many sectors, so many parts of our community will be affected in a negative way with this vision. Our seniors will be either affected by the house version or the senate version.

Some leading republicans pushing a new effort to fund the law entirely as we get more bad news on how much it will cost. Its hurting the people, the jobs, the 40hour workweek. There is bipartisan agreement that this isnt working. If we cant fight it now, i think we never can. President obama back at it again making a rare appearance today on the hill to sell his socalled grand bargain. Its a further left version of a widely panned plan he already why do president obama and his administration insist on sticking with the phony scandal script . Congressman paul ryan joins us. Nice to see you, sir. Good to be back with you. Phony scandal. Even today press secretary jay carney sort of downplaying this. Is it a phony scandal . This is arrogance of power. Theyre in campaign mode. Theyre ignoring this. You need to have trust in the government for the g
White house today. I am nominating chief judge Merrick Brian Garland to join the Supreme Court. Then well look at trumps war on the media. Some really disgusting people back there. And speak with one of the few elected leaders openly calling him a racist. New york mayor bill de blasio. Plus the two elections last night that proved the power of black lives matter. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. And somehow amidst the most turbulent election cycle of recent memory the past 24 hours have been, perhaps, the most frenzies bringing into sharp relief the very Different Directions that americas two Major Political parties are currently headed. On the one hand, we have a Democratic Party that while confronting significant internal disputes over its principles, policy, and future is working out those differences through a fairly straightforward process. And on the other hand, a Republican Party in complete chaos, both on the campaign trail, and in washi
