>> heres the genius thing -- >> hold on no, no, no, answer the question and then you can spin. >> im answering your question. >> were talking about the red -- the base as he said, the hardcore base and -- >> exactly. >> -- right-wing media. >> let me get to that. what the president is doing now, is getting out there and setting markers, both on the border security, ending chain migration, getting rid of the visa lottery, getting rid of the daca system so we dont have this repeat over and over ag...

Reauthorized for 3 1/2 months. people are going to lose their ability to get health care and dental care. its a crisis. we have 30,000 vacancies in the veterans administration. veterans are not going to be able to get the quality and timely care that they need. we have a massive underfunding and understaffing of the social security administration. people who are old. people with disabilities. >> yeah. >> cannot get the service they need. we have got to address those problems now. >> the fact tha...

On whether or not schumer decides to listen to the majority of his caucus, which is right there with the american people and, in particular, those senators that live in trump states and who are up for re-election next year, democrats. they want to see this issue finished because they want to turn to their constituency groups and finally say theyve accomplished a promise they made a decade ago to do some of this. or is he going to listen to the progressive wing of his caucus who are full of peopl...

But the problem is weve seen this happen again and again. he had an agreement with chuck and nancy. those never last. so i think, to "the daily beast" story, this can, the presidents weirdness can cause optics problems for the white house staff, but they will always get him back on the anti-immigrant line. they always have. theres not one case through the last year where one of these, one of these total flip-flops have ended up with him signing on with the, with the non-right-wing position. >> y...

Exploited by schumer and leaders. an adviser to president trump once pointed if he the president had to spend time to spend time with schumer or mcconnell, he would pick schumer. >> they do seem sometimes simpatico. i think its true trump seems to echo whoever was whispering in his ear. >> whats this cry crying chuck? >> this president as we know is not a politician. i think he truly believed on the negotiations a week ago that he and schumer would come to some agreement. theyll put their arms a...

Staff or has his mind changed by the next person he talks to. keep trump far away from chuck schumer. they fear he will agree to something overly generous with the democrat. the president thwarted that himself saying he would be fine with inviting him back to the white house. >> if you dont have a wall, you dont have daca. >> are you going to invite senator schumer back to the white house? >> i like him. i like him. i grew up with schumer. >> senator boxer, to schumers point, part of what i thin...

Under budget but were putting down 25 billion for the wall. but we will build it way under. so i think were going to be very successful but no schumer, well i can tell you this, if you dont have a wall, you dont have daca. >> reporter: schumer of course had put the money for the border wall on the table during their initial round of negotiations. he yanked it back off the table early this week. that $25 billion number is a little higher than what we had been kicking around when the president and...

I grew up with schumer. >> senator boxer, to schumers point, part of what i think makes this entire scenario impossible and i dont want to be hopeless is the person that you need to negotiate with is the president, and you cant negotiate with the president, because the president doesnt actually have a position. >> well, i would say that he does. we all saw him make a pledge to write a bill out of love. it was on television, remember? and he was in that big meeting and my colleague said it, my fo...

Non-right-wing position. >> you know, senator, this reminds you of something a campaign manager once said to me, never get cross wise with the candidates family, because whenever youre done arguing, whenever you tell the candidate youve got to do this, theyre going to go home to their family, and that persons going to get "the last word." schumer can strike a deal. but you are going to go home to steven miller who will tell him we need to deport everyone. >> maybe hell go home to ivanka. >> mayb...

Understand like rational and humane. schumer will withdraw that offer in the context of the start of negotiations. lets not be too cute or histrionic about this. there is a three-week window on this. it is going to require broad outlines of a deal that look like what was brought to the table three weeks ago before it was brought down by the president. if anything happens at all. it will be border security, including building a wall in portions. it will be a daca deal that probably at least gives...
