Supposed to brief reporters in about seven minutes from now. what can you tell us from your end of things? manu, it sounds as though and im just basing this on my white house reporting days some of what priscilla laid out is a bit of the talking points on the democratic side maybe allay some of the fears and concerns of the house democratic caucus too much might have been given away in this negotiating process, and i suspect kevin mccarthy will have similar things to say from the republican view...

Budge in this negotiating process as you very well laid out, who do you think is gonna have to swallow the hardest? >> we i actually think, michael, there will be a number of folks who have to hold their nose and vote for this deal, frankly. and i think including folks in the democratic caucus if you can expect not just some members of the progressive -- the commercial progressive caucus, but also members in the republican conference, or the freedom congress, i heard your conversation with -- ea...

>> kurt, what are your thoughts? >> this is a great deal for the president. lets remember something here. republicans began this negotiating process in 2022 cuts in all spending. in this deal, spending is going to remain flat for the next two years. this is a win for democrats, its a win for the president. but the programs we were concerned about, those that were being cut, theyre being protected. this is so far ahead of where we were back in 2011, which pretty much instituted ten years of budge...

>> and joining us this morning with more is garrett haake. also with us, cnbcs dominic chu. garrett, mccarthy seems optimistic about a deal. what are you hearing from the democratic side? >> no, thats exactly right, jose. on the fitch part of this specifically, democrats are frustrated. they see this as republicans playing games with the u.s. economy that could have real consequences with that warning being exactly that, a warning of the sort of -- how deep this could go if a deal isnt reached. ...

Matter who was in the room texted me it was, a quote, candid conversation. theres still a long way to go, but they are talking again. i think when you talk to officials who have been around this process, anderson, and briefed on this process they acknowledge breakdowns in high stakes negotiations like this arent a rarity and arent necessarily a bad thing as long as they come together and lay the groundwork for real progress. the real issue beyond the vote counting, beyond the ability to get this...

Something else, nothing else they site needs to be consulted on, it could be brought into law through secondary legislation and it should be fast so they are furious about that and i think there will also be angry if there isnt something done about advertising which we dont think they will be. we about advertising which we dont think they will be.— think they will be. we are not exoecting _ think they will be. we are not exoecting that _ think they will be. we are not expecting that everyone -...

Leaders either at the israeli or palestinian side willing or able to make the kinds of decisions that are required even to structure a negotiating process. having been involved for decades to broker agreements, the raw materialfrankly is not there. the americans are preoccupied with ukraine and rising china, their own elections and frankly, the region, a source of support however ambivalent towards palestinians, they have also decided in large part, the abraham accords, to go their own way. so i...

Rather than allowing it to rebuild itself and join the eu and nato. and were also going to have to recognise that we have to discuss with the russians the broader strategic issues of ukraines military relationship with the west, which is one of the fundamental reasons why this war began in the first place. yeah, but is there any hope of any realistic, sincere dialogue between the two, george, given whats happened and the enmities on both sides? well, theres no question that this is an enormously...

Whats the tension level amongst the republican conference if you have been able to gauge it since last night. >> its high, and one of the potential explanations for that, what we just saw on the screen, and i dont know that this is exactly why it happened, but one of the reasons why i was given after unfolded was there was talk, and we reported this last night on the air with you, that matt gates was interested in negotiating out a subcommittee chairmanship for himself on the house armed service...

Is whether the chinese will try with other nations that are not directly involved in the war to encourage some kind of negotiating process. we have this interesting period over the last several weeks where putin and president zelenskyy of ukraine talked about their interest in having negotiations this winter, this spring. there seems to be no common ground for the moment. the russians want recognition of their annexation, the ukrainians want russian troops out. but thats one thing the chinese mi...
