With republicans? >> i think repugnant or so puzzled that they dont quite know what to make of it. i think what journalists often miss about this president is hes not conservative, he is not a lifelong republican, hes going to do things, hes a dealmaker as everyone knows and he would be open. he hasnt governed that way so far, but he may send a signal that if republicans cant get their act together on the hill, he would be open to doing deals with democrats. this is a new thing for journalists, ...

Democrats when he needs to do deals with democrats, theyll still be with him. he may pick up one or two people in the middle. >> when you look at that photograph right there we had of schuk cluck schumer and the president of the united states, an incredible photograph, donald trump looks like schumer is jabbing a finger in his face. we know what is happening, trump is with a guy he knows around new york, we did a deal together. there is an ease that the president has with chuck schumer he does n...

Happens? either you learn to govern on republican votes and this is that moment when the -- its a last chance. >> heres the calendar. >> by the way he has in fact permanently empower schumer. they need 60 votes on everything in the senate. so its not just the back of the hand. >> but the answer to your question though, the answer to your question is that paul ryan -- all the republicans are now looking at september. they have to run for re-election a little bit more than a year now. all that mat...

Say -- >> with his tail between his legs walk out and admit he was totally humiliated by the president that hes taken guff from for seven months? >> the president made a decision, we needed to show some unity. >> i dont respect that answer. why cant paul ryan be a man and say hes treated me like crap. hes cyber bullied me. you know, i bit my tongue when he did things that were racist and misogynist but im done with that. im going to speak my mind. why cant paul ryan and -- >> to what end? >> to ...

Tried to bring pelosi and schumer into the mix at the beginning maybe wed have obamacare fixed? conservatives wouldnt have liked him, but might have had an answer to obamacare. its not just what he did. its when and how he did it. were going into a month of crunch time for republicans. spending bills are hard. the debt ceiling quicksand for the republican party. tax cuts? spoepzed to be republican dna and he picks the democrats plan, not just did he pick democrats plan, sitting this close with p...

Why would you send these folks. >> no, no, no, youre not. because the daca problem is the immigration problem. and once you put up a green light, its a green light. once you legalize and say, hey, once you make it in here the american people are generous, always have been. but once you put up that green light, whoom, right, the surges come every time. its as predictable as mathematics. thats the problem. youve got to solve it at its fundamental core level. >> before i let you go ive got to ask y...
