Donald trump and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. their names to donald trumps base, schumer and pelosi are synonymous with the bogeyman. "the new york times" this morning is reporting how much hes enjoying the media coverage, saying hes forging this new sort of bipartisan spirit. its impossible obviously to ever predict what president trump will do. this is shaking things up in washington in an interesting way. >> i think theres always been the promise that donald trump is so unpredictable that ...

Look, theres always been this talk, especially about paul ryan, ever since he assumed the speakership. theres been a faction within the house republican conference that would like to see him replaced. and the freedom caucus leaders have been discussing this in the last few days. its unclear how it will gain steam and corral enough votes in the house to make this a real possibility. but i have to tell you, based on what people close to trump are saying, i think the president might be behind -- or...

Out. while i dont think this moment, this deal with schumer and pelosi represents a clean break between donald trump and his activist grass roots base, its certainly an indication for them, maybe even a little bit of an alarm bell that these kinds of things could happen in the future. i do think, though, we need to remember that what donald trumps doing here isnt necessarily revealing his true liberal stripes as much as it is, a, trying to get past this mess with the hurricane, and actually do w...

Its among the stupidest debates in washington every time it happens. this is congress saying well, weve already passed a budget and handed out the money, but then in a second step will refuse to authorize the borrowing to pay for the budget we already agreed to. so theres really no point to it. and theres a good argument, it shouldnt be there in the first place. when congress passes a budget, congress is passing to pay for the budget too. and it hasnt got the kind of policy content that stands t...

I think thats fascinating politically. the down side for democrats is potentially, especially for, you know, democrats with the base of the democratic party, where, you know, theres no love lost for donald trump, right? i think thats fine for schumer and nancy pelosi who i dont think throw their hats in the ring and run for the democratic nomination. but i think some of the democrats who are thinking about running for president and trying to win a democratic primary, i think there are some costs...

Comes forth. there are a whole bunch of different options over here. we hate to say that -- its been easy to forecast the track so far. the problem is, where does it make that turn? it makes the turn and comes up over miami like i think it does, we will be dealing with a major hurricane hitting even further up the coast in savannah and up into charleston. thats where our track is taking it. this is a very, very serious storm and everyone has to take it very seriously. >> sean: joe bastardi from ...

No action! apparently during the morning call yesterday between the president and house minority leader nancy pelosi, pelosi asked the president to reassure the children of up documented immigrants and he did with that tweet. >> he called this morning, i said, thanks for calling this is what we need, the people really need a reassurance from you, mr. president, that the six month period is not a period of round up. boom, boom, boom the tweet appeared, so that was good. >> boom, boom, boochl. yes...
