the on? going feud between president trump and tennessee senator bob corker now threatens the president's entire legislative agenda. among other things, corker says, the president debases our nation. their rocky relationship took center stage where president trump had a working lunch with gop senators. before the lunch. corker paid a visit to cbs this morning. i know you said you think the president should step aside from this process. is he being a distraction, comments, tweets, making it

>> we have one thing not talked about in the process enough. we have $4 trillion. loopholes, credits. we have things that have to be closed. what the american people want. they want tax reform that makes it simple for them to fill out their tax returns. if you keep taking those off the table, in advance you didn't have a pt to the $4 trillion number important to do what is laid out the i would let the tax writing committees do their work. i think both the house and senate has done a lot of preliminary work. stay out of taking things off the table. really negotiating against the process before it begins. >> i understand what you are saying. there is a suggestion by republicans on capitol hill time to cap the contributions for 401(k)s by wealthy americans. the president said yesterday in a tweet there will be no change. that seems to be hurting the process you are saying. >> well aga

of other things. there was state and local deductions. people moving away from that. look, it is not religion to me, which ones we close or don't close. at least not at this point. we need to leave everything on the table be successful. when you begin on the front end taking those things off makes it more difficult. but i hope we are going to be successful. i hope we can createic noming growth. i hope we do so with not in any way increasing the deficit. which is the greatest threat to america right now. >> senator, the former president, george bush, george w. bush, bush 43, former senator and president barack obama, have all spoken about the country and the mood of the country. without naming the president, they seem to be doing what you also have spoken about. the fitness of the president, what are your concerns about this president? >> look, this is -- i have gotten to know the president in a very unique way over the course of the last year.

i would have hope that he would rise to the occasion and bring out the best in our nation. charlie, hopeful plea what presidents do is to bring the country together to unify around common goals. and not to dep babase our countf you've will. that has the not happened. beginning to believe it know it going to happen. i think that is what president bush, president obama, many others have been concerned about as it appears to be the governing model of this white house. to purposely divide. that's what happened after the virginia incident. it is to consolidate base not to bring people together and bring out better angels of those people in the country. a great nation. without us doing that it really not only affects us and future generations, but it affects the world. and so, i hope -- i don't really hold out a lot of hope. but i hope that, that somehow, a

action can be taken. >> we keep hearing privately, senator corker that many people feel the way you do. so what's being done about it on capitol hill? >> look, we are separate and equal branches. there is tremendous power that resides in the white house. one of the things we are going to be doing, beginning a week from this coming monday night. going to be, begin to walk through a series of -- of discussions about the authorization, for the use of military force. what powers, the president has. talk about some of the international alignments that the we have that are important to our country. making the american people even more aware of some of the destructive things that are happening. so that's one thing we can do. we can also be a check -- legislatively, but look. an individual in that particular position has the tremendous power to set the tone for our country. and, unfortunately, it is being set in a way that i

not, not brink out the best in the citizens, that, that we all treasure here in our country. so, you know, i'm doing the best i can. without, without, you know, trying to do so in a, statement r stateman like manner. but i think this is shared by many americans. >> do you feel free to speak out way you do because you announced you are not running? >> you know, i spoke out before i announced i wasn't running. i think everybody is a ware of that. it's been building some time. i made very strong comments after the incident in virginia. it felt like the president was frying to con ssolidate a base, which i thought was inappropriate. before that i made comments. it has been building for some time. look, i came up here on a two term mission. told people in tennessee, couldn't imagine serving more than two terms. so i have f

the on? going feud between president trump and tennessee senator bob corker now threatens the president's entire legislative agenda. among other things, corker says, the president debases our nation. their rocky relationship took center stage where president trump had a working lunch with gop senators. before the lunch. corker paid a visit to cbs this morning. i know you said you think the president should step aside from this process. is he being a distraction, comments, tweets, making it harder to get tax reform done. >> we have one thing not talked about in the process enough. we have $4 trillion. loopholes, credits. we have things that have to be closed. what the american people want.

it simple for them to fill out their tax returns. if you keep taking those off the table, in advance you didn't have a pt to the $4 trillion number important to do what is laid out the i would let the tax writing committees do their work. i think both the house and senate has done a lot of preliminary work. stay out of taking things off the table. really negotiating against the process before it begins. >> i understand what you are saying. there is a suggestion by republicans on capitol hill time to cap the contributions for 401(k)s by wealthy americans. the president said yesterday in a tweet there will be no change. that seems to be hurting the process you are saying. >> well again there is numbers of other things. there was state and local deductions. people moving away from that. look, it is not religion to me, which ones we close or don't close.

at least not at this point. we need to leave everything on the table be successful. when you begin on the front end taking those things off makes it more difficult. but i hope we are going to be successful. i hope we can createic noming growth. i hope we do so with not in any way increasing the deficit. which is the greatest threat to america right now. >> senator, the former president, george bush, george w. bush, bush 43, former senator and president barack obama, have all spoken about the country and the mood of the country. without naming the president, they seem to be doing what you also have spoken about. the fitness of the president, what are your concerns about this president? >> look, this is -- i have gotten to know the president in a very unique way over the course of the last year. and i guess like all americans, i would have hope that he would rise to the occasion and bring

out the best in our nation. charlie, hopeful plea what presidents do is to bring the country together to unify around common goals. and not to debase our country if you've will. that has the not happened. beginning to believe it know it going to happen. i think that is what president bush, president obama, many others have been concerned about as it appears to be the governing model of this white house. to purposely divide. that's what happened after the virginia incident. it is to consolidate base not to bring people together and bring out better angels of those people in the country. a great nation. without us doing that it really not only affects us and future generations, but it affects the world. and so, i hope -- i don't really hold out a lot of hope. but i hope that, that somehow, a

little bit different course of action can be taken. >> we keep hearing privately, senator corker that many people feel the way you do. so what's being done about it on capitol hill? >> look, we are separate and equal branches. there is tremendous power that resides in the white house. one of the things we are going to be doing, beginning a week from this coming monday night. going to be, begin to walk through a series of -- of discussions about the authorization, for the use of military force. what powers, the president has. talk about some of the international alignments that the we have that are important to our country. making the american people even more aware of some of the destructive things that are happening. so that's one thing we can do. we can also be a check -- legislatively, but look. an individual in that particular position has the tremendous

power to set the tone for our country. and, unfortunately, it is being set in a way that i think is not, not brink out the best in the citizens, that, that we all treasure here in our country. so, you know, i'm doing the best i can. without, without, you know, trying to do so in a, statement r stateman like manner. but i think this is shared by many americans. >> do you feel free to speak out way you do because you announced you are not running? >> you know, i spoke out before i announced i wasn't running. i think everybody is a ware of that. it's been building some time. i made very strong comments after the incident in virginia. it felt like the president was frying to consolidate a base, which i thought was

inappropriate. before that i made comments. it has been building for some time. look, i came up here on a two term mission. told people in tennessee, couldn't imagine serving more than two terms. so i have felt independence really the entire time in the senate. take it from one of the millions of real women already in the know it's not often you can say, you know i saw results right away visible results or your money back olay. ageless there is not a friend that i have that will not own this product that cough doesn't sound so good. take mucinex dm. i'll text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. one pill lasts 12 hours, so... looks like i'm good all night! why take 4-hour cough medicine? just one mucinex lasts 12 hours. let's end this.
