Good morning, its tuesday, october 17. Im ayman mohyeldin. Along side Yasmin Vossoughian and lewis burgdorf. A stalled agenda in the cabinet room and then standing in the rose garden with senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell claiming to be closer than ever before and promising big developments. Despite what the press writes, i have great relationships with many senators, but in particular with most republican senators. Were not getting the job done. And im not going to blame myself. Im going to be honest. They are not getting the job done. My relationship with this gentleman is outstanding. Has been outstanding. We are working very hard to get the tax cuts. We will continue to work hard to get the health care completed. And amid the administration pileup of legislative priorities, tax reform, daca, fiscal deadlines, the president discussed adding Something Else to congresss plate. One thing were looking at very strongly is welfare reform. Thats becominge ining a very b subject. People are taking advantage of the system and other people arent receiving what they need to live and we think its very unfair to them. Some people are really taking advantage of our system from that standpoint and we are going to be looking very, very strongly there at welfare reform. Very big topic under this administration. President trump compared his performance to another president yesterday. Expectations for passing tax reform this year. Heres what he said. I would like very much to see it be done this year. We wont go a step further. Dont forget, it took years for the Reagan Administration to get taxes done. Ive been here for nine months. Little more than nine months. While Ronald Reagan did not pass major tax renoform, he was able to tax a major tax cut. In august 1981 when the congress or democratic controlled the house. Last night Jared Kushner and ivanka trump hosted dinner. Administration officials also attended, but in press conference, the president slammed democratic opposition to his efforts. When we get things approved, we have to go through hell because we have no democrat support. We dont have a vote from the democrats. As example, massive tax cuts. We may not get any democratic vote. We may get three or four. For massive tax cuts. So on to the subject of health care, the president claimed he brought republicans and democrats together due to executive order to stop funding subsidies to pay for lower income people on obama. The gravy train ended the day i knocked out the insurance companys money which was last week. Hundreds of millions of dollars a month handed to the Insurance Companies for very little reason. Believe me. I want the money to go to the people. I want the money to go to poor people that need it. Republicans are meeting with democrats because of what i did with the csi. I cut off the gravy train. Right now having emergency meetings to get a shortterm fix of health care. Obama is finished. Its dead. Its gone. Its no longer you shouldnt even mention it. Its gone. There is no such thing as obamacare anymore. To that point joining from us washington, deputy news editor, david luller. Good to have you with us. You heard the president say he wants to take credit for ending the csr. Wants more money for the poor people. Effectively saying dont use the word obamacare anymore. If he is in fact trying to help lower income people, those relying on subsidies by going after the Insurance Companies, are republicans prepared to take ownership of what theyve just done which is affect millions of lower income american who is relied on those to try to get health care. Its interesting. He said theyre going to have the next Big Health Care push at the middle of next year. Theres midterms. Theyve been making this promise for a while. Hes failed on health care. Whether he wants to take ownership or not, i think he feels a little bit of pressure there. We remember all the backup between Mitch Mcconnell and the white house. August recess. The fight with mcconnell. Wondering what was going on considering the president does need mcconnell to get things done in washington. Yesterday, of course, the press conference was to sort of show the harmony between the white house and mcconnell. Do you buy it . Do people out there buy it . Theyve been friends for a long time. This is what they were both saying. Its not something weve seen previously. People who are covering them have not seen a friendship there. Its less an alliance than a temporary ceasefire. They need to get a budget passed. They want to move on tax reform. Trump cant get anything in the Senate Without obama. Hes saying im ready to work with you. Certainly to work with him, hes got to have some sort of cooperation on items theyre trying to get done. Listed a whole list of issues and topics. One of the things the president also added was the issue of welfare reform. The question now really is do you think the president and Mitch Mcconnell can actually get these things done. Is capitol hill taking the administration seriously or do you think theyre just letting the president , you know, throw one more thing at them. No clear end game for a lot of these issues. The people moving these things forward arent necessarily trump its the guy hes standing next to and its paul ryan. Neither of them seem to have welfare reform at the top of the agenda. Tl theres a lot of things trump wants to disclosure and acknowledgment form hes not particularly patient. Some of these takes year. Thank you. Well talk to you at the top of the hour. President trump is facing tough questions after an explosive report featuring nominee to serve as the nations drug tsar. Washington post and 60 minutes found pushed lgs eed for reporter President Trumps pick for the top drug tsar pennsylvania congressman under fire after a 60 minutes Washington Post investigation found that as the Opioid Epidemic reaches new heights, a law sponsored by him last year made it tougher to stop millions of narcotic pills from flooding the street. According to the report, the law makes it impossible for the dea to freeze distribution. This former dea regulator spoke out to 60 minutes. This is an industry thats out of control. What they want to do is do what they want to do. And not worry about what the law is. The president pressed on whether he still has confidence in mur reno. Our nations drug tsar. Like putting to work no comment, but other lawmakers vowing to repeal the law. Sailed through congress and signed by former president obama. A lobbying boost representing drug distributors acknowledged the country is in the midst of crisis. Greater collaboration needed. Dea vow tok use all the tools to combat the epidemic. Kristen we believer, nbc news the white house. By the way, were going to have joe joining us to talk more about that.

Last night in philadelphia, senator john mccain received the National Liberty metal. Former Vice President joe biden. An impassioned speech, reflected on service to the country and level add thin llivill ll lly v critique. The fear of the world we organized and abandon the ideas we have advanced around the globe. To refuse the obligations of International Leadership and duty to remain the last best hope of earth for the sake of some half baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems. Is as unpatriotic as any dogma that the americans signed. We live in a land made of ideals. Not blood and soil. Now the National Constitution center says it awarded the liberty metal to mccain for lifetime of sacrifice and service. 50 years ago this month during the vietnam war when mccains plane was shot down. He spent years in a prison as a prisoner of war in a camp. In july of this year, mccain was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Former president barack obama tweeted i am grateful to senator john mccain for lifetime of service to our country. Congratulations john on receiving this years liberty metal. Congratulations to him.

Nbc correspondent matt bradley. Good to have you with us. Comes as the u. S. Deputy secretary of state said with a meeting not to rule out the future possibility of their rest hawks with north korea. Trying to down play any possibility of diplomatic talks. Thats right. Deputy secretary of state John Sullivan in tokyo today talking to his japanese counter parts and said of course diplomacy is on the table now. Thats not entirely obvious to the rest of us following the comments from north korea. And the tweets from donald trump. Remember, it comes a day after sullivans boss, Rex Tillerson, said that the diplomacy would continue until, quote, the first bomb drops. That sounds almost like a deescalation. At least from the u. S. Side. Donald trump last week tweeted twice in as many days that negotiations so far have been a failure and have been a failure for the last 25 years. He said so many times to undermine diplomat Rex Tillerson and humiliate him. Offered to have an iq competition test with his last week. When they come to places like seoul and here, they no longer carry that president ial even when they try to goeshnegotiate its easy to blame this on donald trump and his language. We have to remember huge military maneuvers, they do just as much if not more to inflame the North Koreans and put back up.

Its the bottom of the hour. Start with the mornings top stories. In need of a legislative win. Trying to patch up a rocky relationship. Claims he and senator majority leader are closer than ever before. Remarks in the rose garden came two hours of president blamed congress for stalled agenda. Days after trump ally steve bannon declared war on Mitch Mcconnell and the republican establishment and two months after the president attack eed mcconnell on twitter. Also wildfires continue to burn in california, States National guard is going through ash looking for anything that can be salvaged and returned to homeowners. Going through 300 homes a day.

Devout catholic and always been a spiritual person. Said she wants the u. S. To be a leader on Environmental Issues despite the president withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. Nearly two weeks since members of the special forces were killed during isis ambush. Yesterday President Trump was asked about his silence. Most of them didnt make calls. I like to call when its appropriate. When i think im able to do it. The former chairman of the joint chief of staff responded last night. To what you just heard. Referring to george w. Bush. Former white house official told nbc news the claim is wrong. President obama engaged families of the fallen and Wounded Warriors throughout his presidency, calls, letters, visits to sections of arlington, visits to dover. And regular meetings with families at the white house and across the country. Former obama deputy chief of staff wrote thats a [ bleep ] lie. Called President Trump a deranged animal. Checked the president on facts and realtime and even mr. Trump backed away from assertion. Earlier you said president obama never called the family of fallen soldiers, how can you make that claim. I dont know if he did. I was told he didnt often. I do a combination of both. Sometimes its a very difficult thing to do, but i do a combination of both. President obama, i think probably did sometimes and maybe sometimes he didnt. I dont know. Thats what i was told. All i can do is ask my generals. Other president s did not call. Some president s didnt do anything. Sad to see this politicized the way it is. President trump took different tones in comments to press yesterday when he was addressing the war his form early strategist. Listen to how the president responded to similar questions in the cabinet room and then in the rose garden alongside maj Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell. Do you approve of Steve Bannons war on Mitch Mcconnell in the republican establishment. Steve is very committed. Hes a friend of mine. Very committed to getting things passed. Had health care approved then the surprise vote by john mccain. Weve had other things happen. Theyre not getting the job done. I can understand where steve bannon is coming from and i can understand to be honest with you, john, i can understand where a lot of people are coming from. Im not happy about it. A lot of people arent happy about it. You support the plan by people serving your administration such as steve bannon republican candidate in 2018 election do not support your agenda. I have a very Good Relationship as you know with steve bannon. Steve is a good friend of mine for a long time. I like steve a lot. Steve is doing what he thinks is the where right thing. Some of the people he may be looking at, im going to talk him out of that because theyre great people. In his comments stressed allegiance to his agenda. Also reminder of what happened when Party Activists got their candidates. The goal here is to win elections in november. Back in 2010 and 2012, we nominated several candidates, christine odonnell,ed to achen, richard mur doff. You have to nominate people who actually win. Winners make policy and losers go home. Dave, we just heard President Trump basically criticizing other president s saying they didnt make the phone call or reach out to families that had lost people in war as he does and then being criticized for that. Also saw him back step it when Peter Alexander confronted him on that. This is a little bit different. Trump seemed surprised during the campaign about the intensity and the longevity of the backlash after he attacked the khan family, the gold star family that spoke out against him at the democratic convention. This is different than just normal politics. Talking about the families of people who have lost people serving this country. Its different than a little jab. Its something people remember a little bit longer. Speaking of war heros, lets talk about john mccain yesterday. Obviously accepting the award at the National Constitution Center Liberty metal. He also took some harsh words at President Trump in his speech. Im curious to get your thoughts on how the republican party, republican establishment looks at those comments that come out of somebody like john mccain, decorated war hero. When he comes out and really takes aim at the way the president is conducting and carrying out his foreign policy. So this is the way the republicans until recently typically spoke about foreign policy. Its all about american leadership, setting an example for the world. Thats not how donald trump talks about foreign policy. He talks about america first. I think the instincts of many people on capitol hill is more on mccains side this is a fight they probably dont want to get in the middle of. No real winning for them for either calling out a war hero for critique of the president or criticizing a sitting republican president who is popular with the people voting in the primaries sgls yprimary s. You heard ayman earlier. Also in the rose garden and giving a very different take on it. How do you think the president can straddle the two agendas. This is going to be fascinating next year in the primaries. We saw bannon versus Mitch Mcconnell in alabama. Trump ended up on losing side of the primary race. He sounds like hes going to pick and choose. Some of the people bannon wants to primary trump says are good people. Hes not going to be in a position where hes totally lined with mcconnell and against bannon and what he sees as base and the people hes naturally aligned with. Live for us in washington, d. C.
