Page 553 - Schumer News Today

Page from harry reid and say we will have the nuclear option. we are tired of this. >> jen, reid carved out nominees when he breached protocol. i guess it was nuclear-lite what he did. democrats say you did it to us with merrick garland. we will do to you what you did to us. >> part of it is that, chris. that is not an effective message that will resonate with people across the country. i was there in the obama administration where we dealt with weeks and months of supreme court nominee not gett...

Whatever? the stuff hes saying about schumer is not endearing. youre watching "hardball." ( ♪ ) upstate new york is a good place to pursue your dreams. at vicarious visions, i get to be creative, work with awesome people, and we get to make great games. ( ♪ ) what i like about the area, feels like everybody knows each other. and i can go to my local coffee shop and they know who i am. its really cool. new york state is filled with bright minds like lisas. to find the companies and talent of ...

Is to maintain bipartisan approach to it and im hoping that were going to be able to come out with the unanimous report. i think thats important. when a report finally comes out, its got to be credible. and thats why what happened last week i think undermines the credibility of what the house is doing. were trying very hard to avoid that. >> the democratic leader, mr. schumer from new york yesterday said nunes should step aside as head of the committee. do you agree? >> i think thats his decisio...

>> well, brian, we are really working hard to make it bipartisan. et cetera a not easy but we are working at it. the committee is only -- its eight to six to one, its eight republicans, six democrats, and me, so it is a carefully balanced committee. we have got good members on both sides. and everything we are doing now is to maintain a by part san approach to it. and im homing that we are going to be able to come out with a unanimous report because i think thats important. whats disturbing abou...

Yesterday we pressed press secretary sean spicer about whether or not there had been any outreach to democrats. no word yet if that has actually happened, but there is a sense that republicans, that this white house needs to go about this in a different way after they were effectively defied by the freedom caucus, the conservative branch of the party, on the health care bill, that they need to reach out to moderates and democrats. at this point, though, the white house signaling that theres no r...

Corresponds with the interest of a president who has a very outside ego. >> and by by encouraging people to watch the judge slam speaker paul ryan on fox news, it does show kind of inexperience. because its a different world when youre a president. he said publicly he supported paul ryan and then tells people to watch a show where theyre going after him. >> well, right. and as soon as they happened it seemed to me he was going to pivot toward the democrats. and whats interesting about trump, and...

Or mark warner from virginia. you have people that are already signaling they are squishy about this. it gives them a way out and he can, you let it go and it goes on. >> if schumer wants to trigger the nuclear option, i would quote clint eastwood. "make my day." it would be a disaster for the democrats. the next nominee is not going to be central casting. its going to be a harder edged conservative and it will be easy for the republicans to get him or her through, requiring only 51. >> shannon:...

Did and didnt. it seems odd he would recommend people watch his show and it seems like inexperience. youre not a president who couldnt fire someone because they didnt do as expected. publicly he supports paul ryan and then tells people to watch a show where theyre going after him. >> right. it seems when that happened it seemed to me he would pivot towards the democrats. whats interesting about trump and people have said this. he is a new yorker. hes not really a small government kind of guy. i ...

>> what you are seeing is a deliberate effort by schumer to placate the donor base. in political terms, its extremely bad strategy. detracts from the issues charles was talking about with nunes, the seeming failure of the president in terms of his legislative agenda, at least for a while. gorsuch has a wide range of respect across the political spectrum. it sends the message to the electorate of petty politics added -- at a time when the democrats perhaps have other areas they want to weaponize....

Democrats work with president trump on any of his agenda? >> well, maybe on infrastructure, but i think on health reform they might like to preserve obamacare, maybe make a modest change or two, i would say the majority of democrats would echo what schumer said yesterday, but again i dont know why they want to throw him a life preserver right now while hes in trouble. >> especially with trying to get the budget passed he definitely can look at some of the democrats with cuts to arts and services...
