Great to be with you, my friend. Heres our starting line. President trumps escalating feud with the Top Republican takes another nasty turn after repeated attacks from mr.

They are threatening to denounce the president s hardline measures. Vice president mike pences walkout of an nfl game after players kneeled is asking how much did this p. R. Stunt cost tax payers. One week after the deadliest mass shooting investigators are still stumped on the killers motive. Could a deposition from a lawsuit four years ago provide any clues at all . We have the hraelas vegas kille his own words. An allstar celebrity panel. But lets start with the latest on the bob corker rift with low johns. Reporter the president of the United States and a republican senator seemed to lay bear the long simmering tensions between the president and the very congress he will need to get his agenda through capitol hill. In a scathingry teak, senator bob corker telling the new york sometimes that President Trumps reckless threats could put the u. S. On the path to world war iii. He concerns me. He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation. He said he is treating the presidency like a reality show remarking, i know for a fact that every single day at the white house, its a situation of trying to contain him. Corkers blunt criticism coming after the president bashed him sunday morning suggesting corker begged him to re endorendorse h election. He calls the white house an adult you day care center. Secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. Reporter this as the Trump Administration derailed any deal with democrats to protect d. R. E. A. M. Ers, unveiling a long list of demands in exchange for legislative solution, a crackdown on unaccompanied minors from central america, funding the border wall. Democratic leadership he denouncing the proposal saying the administration cant be serious about comp phaoeugz or helping the d. R. E. A. M. Ers if they begin with this list. It fails to represent any attempt at compromise. All this while Vice President mike pence is facing criticism for amplifying the president s feud with the nfl. The v. P. Walking out of sundays Indianapolis Colts game after some players knelt during the National Anthem. President trump quickly taking credit, i asked pence to leave in any players kneeled. The Vice President traveled from las vegas where he was paying tribute to the victims of the massacre to indianapolis for the game and then back to las vegas. Cnn estimated the travel cost to be around a quarter Million Dollars. Had pence skipped the game, it would have been substantially lower. The last time he has been to a colts game was three years ago. It seems like a p. R. Stunt to me. He knew we have the most players to protest. This is what oppression looks like. Reporter an aide defended the decision to travel back to indiana. It reads, if the Vice President did not go to in in for the colts game, he would have flown back to d. C. For the evening, which means flying directly over indiana. Instead, he made a shorter trip to indiana for a game that was on his schedule for several weeks. Bill and alyson, back to you. Thank you very much. We have a lot of discuss with our political panel. We have cnn political commentator Michael Smerconish and john avalon and carla dimmersion. What senator bob corker said to the New York Times is extraordinary. Extraordinary. He is unplugged now and saying things people have only said off the record or whispered about in the halls of congress. And he is now saying them. And in drop the mike terms. This is the head of the Foreign Senate Relations committee. When he said the President Trump is core donning world war iii and every day is an excellent in containment because he treats it like a reality show, and it is like adult day care. He is not criticizing the president. This is what many are saying in private. Thats why it has the force of revelation and people should pay attention. This is what people in washington in the know are saying every day. Some of the quotes here from this are staggering. I dont know why the president tweets out things that are not true. You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does it. Michael smerconish, as john was saying, this is not a never trumper cheerleader. He was a short lister for Vice President and secretary of state. Hey, bill, the lawyer in me hears something different. Im thinking of the 25th amendment, section 4, which speaks to a president who is unable to discharge the powers of duties of his office. Lets just reflect on some of the word choices that senator corker has made. Post charlottesville, he was questioning the stability of the president. Now hes using the word reckless, chaos. Now he is saying he concerns me. I think hes planting seeds for questionable the fitness, the Mental Fitness of the president pursuant to the 25th amendment to continue with his responsibilitys. You think that bob corker is that deliberate, that he is deliberately choosing words that will lay the groundwork for that . Take a look at the amendment and then say, alyson, okay, how would you make an argument, what sort of things would you say in making a case to fulfill section 4 of the 25th amendment . Those words would be at the top of the list. Carin, your thoughts . We have yet to hear corker say anything on that directly. This is a big turnaround with him. Playing a role in trying to bolster trump sur gates, secretary of state, his defense secretary, against the onslaught from at various times, the president. Things have been bubbling for a while. And trumps choice to attack corker yesterday is what led him to decide to unleash this. The question is if its been this bad, where do you go from here . Why havent you been letting this out of the bag before . Theres a lot that could be done between look, he laid out the spectrum. You can get to the 25th amendment. Or theres a lot more that members of congress could be doing to block the president , frankly, if they are this frustrated with him regardless of whether hes just frustrated, or as you have seen in some chatter, this is corker 2020. But regardless of the this president still has to work with this man who is the head of the Foreign Relations committee. Yeah. But that kind of normal calculus doesnt seem to apply. He routinely goes out of his way to alien ate allies, home is and abroad. It does create a stumbling block for any legislation. If he wants to kick the iran deal into congress, doesnt help to attack the head of the senate Foreign Relations committee. Michael makes a good point as to where the conversation may be going. This is something increasingly been acknowledged. Members of congress, if they want to contain the president s worst impulses, they need to say not only what they mean. Still a lot of folks feel effectively hostages to the base. Even though the president is at 36 or thereabouts, the base still loves him. Thats speak about what things are already on the table. So the president seems to now be walking back the deal that Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi thought they had with d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Youll remember he got so much pushback from observers like Steve Bannons ilk, that they say, no, the funding for the wall is part of it. Thats not what Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi heard. When he reneged on the commitment that president obama made to the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, youll remember it was Jeff Sessions that he sent out in front of a podium to make that statement. Very soon thereafter, the president started a succession of tweets where he essentially said he was going to protect the d. R. E. A. M. Ers. The meeting came with socalled chuck and nancy. I cant believe the democrats would ever go along with funding the wall, which is very much a part of what is at the heart of this. It would be natural for him to say there are a couple things i want in connection with rendering a deal. But the walk will be the breakpoint. Thats how i see it. A list of demands, complete construction of the southern border wall. Nonstarter for democrats. Crackdown on sanctuary cities. Visa overstays. Expediting renewal. Limited familybased green cards to spouses and minority children, making it harder for those who are here legally to bring family members over. Points of entry for green cards. Tight especially asylum. What are your thoughts on this . We have seen a lot of hints that some of these items were going to be on there before. There was a lot of flurry about the pointsbased system. Theres republicans that arent going to like aspects of this deal either. Republicans that really dont like the idea of trumps wall. You saw a whole bunch of them trying to trod out an alternate strategy for security over the summer because they were trying to get ahead of the president. They know, one, its a live wire and, two, its not very practical. It is not so much a deal but a reiteration of the promises the president made when he was a candidate. This is not something that will get through with full republican support, not even to go into that category. You said the right words, which is wish list. Theres a real case obviously. There are people in the Republican Party and the white house who are horrified trump would try to make a deal with chuck and nancy over this deal. They put four things that could be poison pills. They do it intentionally. This is a wish list, not a list of literal demands. A lot of kabuki whatever whats possible and whats not. Is it a steep hill to climb . Absolutely. Dont take it as gospel. Take it as poison pills. It is not exactly where it will end up. It sounds like President Trump is in a spat with secretary of state tillerson, with leading republican bob corker, with chuck and nancy. The nfl. The nfl. Who do we think are his allies . Its another monday at the office, the oval office. The point i wanted to make, you cant be fighting with bob corker when youre trying to make a deal with the d. R. E. A. M. Ers and do something relative to the iranian deal and get taxes done. His political skills in the past we know. What could be the grand plan as to how he puts these pieces together . I just dont see it. I dont see how this is the art of the deal. Im too polite to bring that up again, Michael Smerconish, to mentioned places where you have had some misconceptions on things. But thank you panel very much. Thank you. Will american tax payers get the tab for mike pences walkout of an nfl game . Can i kick it .

Vice president mike pence is standing by the president s side in his ongoing battle with players, several players on the San Francisco 49ers. Took a knee during the National Anthem before their game with the colts on sunday. And Vice President mike pence announced on twitter he had walked out of the game about eight minutes later, saying he didnt want to dig phi the demonstration. Since the president seems to have sent him there, since he held the pool or, the press pool in their cars before exiting that game he said he wouldnt be there a long time. You wait in the car. Im going to make this statement and come back out. Now folks on the other side, wonder if this is an expensive political stunt. Bring back our panel Michael Smerconish, john avalon and caroun. John, this was going away. This whole spat seemed to be dying down as it does week to week, the players kneeling. This seems like a deliberate effort to pour gasoline back on the fire. He considers these distractions and deflectors an asset. Whatever the polling says. To go to his first colts game in three years, the press told to stay in the car, guys. This is going to be a quick hit at tax payer expense, that is tough to take. We send Vice President s to state funerals. That is to inflame a culture war. Caroun, it wasnt a surprise. They have been doing this since Colin Kaepernick started. What are we to make of it . It doesnt seem like it is an unintentional gut reaction given all the parameters and elements you just described with the press staying in the car. It was a microcosm of the summer. Another march in charlottesville. That doesnt inspire the same outrage as the Football Players taking a knee which started over the summer. It is not on exactly the same thing but generally speaking about the same issue that started over the summer that we saw apparently nephew got fully resolved as far as the white house goes. Even though there was this backlash from the country, it does not seem to have changed their approach to these two elements. We are so critical of how they are being judged publicly. Is this the last time we will see pence go to a Football Game . Maybe if the backlash is Strong Enough for the price tag. We just came off the tom price thing about cost of flights. But is this the last we will hear about the nfl . I dont think so. Were just at the start of the season. We could go a while. We can show the price tag just to show everybody. He flew from las vegas to indianapolis. That is a 100,000 flight. Then indianapolis to los angeles, 142,000 flight. Estimated 242,000. The statement from the Vice President said if the Vice President did not go to in in for the colts game, he would have flown back to d. C. , which means flying over indiana. Instead he made a shorter trip to indiana. That doesnt make sense. Then he flew to los angeles. Exactly. Michael, whether or not we get hung up on the price tag and the tom price kerfuffle, is picking a fight with the and hoping their popularity goes down of this a smart political move . Yes. The short answer is yes. I think this is a winning issue for the white house. The polling data i have seen suggest a majority of americans agree with the president and the Vice President that there should not be kneeling during the anthem. Although the same polling has shown that folks did not like when the president referred to Colin Kaepernick indirectly as an s. O. B. John avalon is right. The white house has never shown in 10 months awe desire to build bridges and expand the base. If we have seen one thing consistently, it has been reinforcing the viewpoints of those who got them where they are. This is a great issue on that score. Frankly, ill bet the president is hoping that the kneeling continues for a couple more weeks into the season is. And thats why he sent Vice President pence where he did. John avalon, north korea. The president is saying cryptic but what sounds like ominous things. He is saying, well, well have to see what happens. Only one thing will work. Only one thing will work. And let me put this up for people. President s and their administrations here have been talking to north korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasnt worked. Agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of u. S. Negotiators sorry, but only one thing will work. Well see. That keeps peoples attentions, especially when youre competing with the nfl for the president s attention apparently. You can criticize american policy with north korea in previous administrations. You can say it hasnt worked because they have continued to make progress. It is the constant saber rattling which seems to threaten military action in which there are no good options in north korea. So this is not simply reality tv stuff. This is exactly what bob corker is talking about when he says he is treating the office as reality tv and world war iii. Is he playing good cop, bad cop or nixon kissinger. Trust me, dont listen to him. What do you think . Im clinging to the hope that this is all based on psychological profiles that have been developed at the cia as to how you most effectively deal youre laughing. No, i love it. I hope youre right, michael. Instead, it sounds like two 14yearolds ranking one another on a playground in queens. Exactly. It seems like a spitballing kind of thing. You would hope there is deliberation and thought and social science that has gone into this given the stakes. Both of these guys have nukes, unlike the 14yearolds. Correct. Well leave it on that. Thanks for being with us this morning. Coming up,
