Earlier when he said part of what trump was doing in trying to get this deal with pelosi and schumer was to really knife ryan and mcconnell and tell them whos boss. >> his dinner guest tonight, paul ryan, no readout yet on that meal at the white house. three of our friends, great thanks. very much appreciate you coming on with us tonight. coming up after our next break, what the president has done that led one "washington post" reporter to call it trumps middle finger to conservatives when "th...

Along. many of them swallowed hard on those reservations and elected him because they thought he was better than hillary clinton. but deep in the backs of their minds, they thought, this day could come. the day when he would sell them 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 h...

Of the deal. they know about the smart way to deal, and they got the best of him. and the most important fact there is the republicans and trumps own treasury secretary wanted a deal to push out the debt ceiling for 18 months and basically make the democrats irrelevant for the rest of the congress. and what schumer and pelosi saw was if they kept trump on a short leash, a 90-day debt ceiling extension, he would have to come back and deal with them again and again and again. and so for the first ...

Jobs on your side of the aisle? >> yeah, i dont think so. on this one, not much changed objectively when you look at the outcomes at the end of the day. to see the difference between the parties, we give our ownselves a critique here and there. pelosi and schumer were on tv saying lets get rid of the debt ceiling altogether. if youre at home, take that. in lets get rid of the debt ceiling. if thats not a basis of comparison. at least we promise to do the right thing. were trying hard. some of us...

Decision to sveda democrats on the debt ceiling rippling across washington. >> we had a great meeting with nancy pelosi and schumer. it was very nice meeting. >> took party politics out of the equation and focused on what the american people expect of the white house. >> the president is a successful businessman who is not a politician. he is getting good deals for the american people. >> were different parties. we have different thoughts. different feelings. different ideas. but, i think you ar...

And democrats have that. other than that the president has the deal. >> does the president still have the party here? >> i think he did what was right and he didnt talk to a lot of peopl people. >> calls for senate majority chuck leader and nancy pelosi thursday morning, trump raved about the positive news coverage it received according to people familiar with the calls. he seemed very pleased with his decision. trump specifically mentioned tv segments praisings the deal and indicated he had bee...

No action. do you think he did that because that meeting went well with nancy pelosi? was he listening to her? >> i dont know. i wasnt in the meetings. i do know that of course somebody in the mainstream media had reported incorrectly and erroneously which way the phone call came. so i have to doubt a lot of the reporting thats coming out about that. let me say some things about nancy pelosi. it was just a couple weeks ago that this woman in the democratic leadership were condemning president tr...

It. i mean, look, chuck schumer and donald trump have both lived in the tabloid world of new york. chuck schumer reacted to being called a clown differently than a lot of republicans who got tagged with names. schumer was just like whatever. weve been there before. ive had worst said about me in the new york post. look, i think the challenge is going to be for democrats in particular. schumer behind the scenes at the beginning of this was saying sure, ill do a big infrastructure deal with donald...

Were trimming spending. thats what -- these 90 conservatives, they have been out front supporting the trump administration, the trump agenda. it was disappointing to see how this manifested itself even with the treasury secretary mnuchin coming to our conference. it didnt go over well. >> neil: what happened? >> basically there were questions that were asked that couldnt be answered. i asked if what reforms were considered. there was no answer. i asked what does the debt ceiling look like decemb...

Opportunity here to shake up the leadership structure on the hill. i think jeremy was shutly right earlier when he said part of what trump was doing in trying to get this deal with pelosi and schumer was to really knife ryan and mcconnell and tell them whos boss. >> his dinner guest tonight, paul ryan, no readout yet on that meal at the white house. three of our friends, great thanks. very much appreciate you coming on with us tonight. coming up after our next break, what the president has don...
