it was incredibly uncomfortable. he was literally breathing down my neck. my skin crawls >> the footage showed the candidate trump bragging about groping women. he goes on to say what he can't rewrite history >> at the phoenix rally earlier this week signaled they are willing to endure a government shutdown for having a border wall built. good morning, kirsten. >> good morning, lauren. definitely a credible threat. the difficulty is republicans of president trump don't have a lot of leverage. democrats really have more power here. 60 votes to get any spending

measures. so they are going to need some democrat that said absolutely no way. also going to shut down the government over the border while funding. the brinksmanship happening right now in the public and no after ruling out obviously being able to pass health care reform, tax reform and they can't stomach another big loss here when it comes to looking forward to 2018 midterm elections. trent is a cost to the border was $1.6 trillion. the house late last month passed a measure to approve funding but the chances are that passing are pretty slim. >> this is obviously a huge campaign promise from president trump, which obviously got a lot of really, really eight cheers and applause in phoenix. the reality is he also promised people in his base in particular

that mexico is going to pay for that wall, not the american people. among republicans, people are very much immigration hawks. they want to see the border wall go up, but on the other hand they are also deficit hawks. they don't want to commit to the billion dollars for spending and they don't want to commit to a large deficit increase. which is why you're not going to see republicans wanting to engage in this fight because they've got to get those numbers up there around as well as onboard to pass anything. lauren: stay with us. i want to bring in dan stein. good to see you. welcome. >> idc appeared drained through a look at the calendar, there are 12 working days also approved spending measure to keep the lights on in the government operating. how would this debate that we are having about order while in finding it affect that?

>> it's important for president trying to raise the stakes. the border wall was a candidate and to get stuff done. it's going to be hard to get democratic votes for border wrong with the construct did recycle confederate war statues. the reality is trump does not want to look like he failed again. this is an area where the congressional leadership needs to the name, to make sure they get out. trump doesn't care if he shuts down the government. he thinks it's good for his base. he's back into campaign mode. if the congressional leadership doesn't give trump more support, basically will revert back into campaign mode and there'll be more pitched battles coming up. lauren: but dan, his whole point was i and won on this whole border wall. let's get it done. i don't think he's going to back off. >> trumpets getting the pieces of what will be the tram plan, which includes things like the

race at to reduce immigration, skills composition, a merit system. he's also got bills pending in the senate. a whole bunch of things can be wrapped up in this concept of a trump border immigration plan. the term border wall battles coming up over the next month and a half. trump has signaled some indications that iran is not supportive of putting his money in there. tram feels his stated reputation is in there and with the statement the other day made it clear they don't care about the border wall to embarrass trump are not getting even a small amount of money. >> is a certainly does and as we saw this week from a president trump is honestly still really concerned about his base supporting him. the poll numbers recently on republicans but people have been digesting what happened in

charlottesville with more social issues and tax reform as well to see their tax burden relieved. a lot of the american people to master gene. a lot of things the president has been doing which are helping the widows of our immigration system if they don't get the border wall funded by coupons, messaging mighty can turn the conversation and say look what i have done so we are still making steps forward and progress in our legislative promises and not lodging this is another failure. cheryl: when congress returns to reset the president will sit down with key lawmakers including mitch mcconnell for a strategy session to get done first. what do you expect them not to get too? >> of course the funding issue in the border wall is a pure front and center as part of the
