what the president and what democrats think the president agreed to last night honestly. into a deal that gets his conference to a place where a majority will support. kate, he s going to speak in about 30 minutes an that s the big question right now. and good luck, speaker ryan. molly, earlier today, this all happened, if you are confused, everyone, it s okay, because different statements have come out just in the last three hours. it was the wall will come later, explicitly what the president said when he was leaving the white house to go to florida. he lands in florida, molly, i don t know what transpired on the plane, and then he says, the wall is vital to me, there has to be an understanding that the wall will be funded or basically nothing, then will be the opposition and obstructionist. i guess, is there some way both of those things can be true? well, i guess one way to resolve it is the wall isn t part of this deal but the president still intends to push for it and c
most of the republicans. you are going to have people on the far left and the far right of both conferences opposed to some of the details. but this is something that most people want to do. listening to your constituents and the american people, an amazing novel idea in 2017. mark, you get first and last next time. great to see you guys. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. thank you. coming up, friends and family speaking out after a tragedy in the aftermath of hurricane irma. at least eight people are now confirmed to have died in sweltering nursing home in hollywood, florida. a criminal investigation is under way. we re about to get a live update from police in hollywood on what they know and learning. this is critical. a tragedy plays out. we will be right back.
president on the tarmac a short while ago. chuck schumer, the democratic leader in the senate, said on the senate floor, that the baseline was enshrining daca protections into law. the d.r.e.a.m. act and what daca does are two different things on the pathway to citizenship and the scope of the programs altogether. here s why i think the nuance and the details here are extremely important, because how this is all going to end up is still very much up in the air. while the parameters are agreed upon and i would note reporting in the past couple days it s been very clear this was going to be the deal. republican leaders were in the preliminary talks. it was going to be border security for daca protections. the details of that, the specifics of that, are both extremely important for everybody involved, but also, for the republican leaders who by the way weren t in the meeting and are going to need to sell this to some of their members, at least, in the house, at least the majority of the c
chris, immigration hawks are not happy about this. folks who back the president and said one thing that they knew where he stood was on immigration and building the wall. well maybe not so much anymore. i mean steve king is one of them, of course, says he says there could be a real cost to the president if he goes through if he goes through with this, no wall included. he spoke to new day this morning. listen. something is going to have to get reversed with this president s policy or it will just blow up his base. i mean this was a straight up promise all the way through his campaign. what it means the base will leave him, they won t be able to defend him anymore. chris, do you think that is the case? the president has gone back on campaign promises or evolved on campaign promises we have not seen that to date? yeah. remember it was one of the billion controversies donald trump caused in the 2016 campaign was when he said at a rally, i could go out in the middle of fifth av
table. growth is what is important. growth of good paying jobs, growth in our economy, and that growth means that we do so in a way that creates jobs and reduces the deficit. what the republicans have been proposing would increase the debt by 2 trillion dollars at a minimum. we cannot go down that path. they want to say the growth is going to pay the tab. it never has. it s only created more debt or trickled down. let s not make a judgment when we see what they have, but so far, it s not about tax reform. what we want to do is engage them in a bipartisan way in simplification, fairness, closing special interest loopholes, and having proper revenue to meet the needs of the american people and create growth in our economy. growth does not just come from tax cuts for the wealthy. that s what they think.
