david: i spoke with cory gardner and i asked if they believed they could get tax reform done by the endf the year. is it realistic a could happen at this point when you look at how all this has to play out? is it that all possible we get tax reform? they are very late to try to do this. here's the level of ambition and what they are trying to do. thetimetable is to release bill and pass it in the house and a two-week space from the time members first get to see it to the time they are expected to vote on it for final passage, which means they will essentially make no changes to it. there's a thanksgiving break and the senate is supposed to magically do the same thing by the end of the month even though no one has seen the bill from either side. somehow in december, they're supposed to magically then figure out how to resolve all evenifferences and pass it as they are supposedly going to try to avoid a government shutdown by funding the government, passing a supplemental to find hurricane relief, and dealing with a whole bunch of other issues related to immigration and health care. no on

they think the deal basically puts cory gardner said it's a patient pathway to a nuclear bomb. there would be a delay after a decade that would get back on track. one of the main things that this arrangement is trying to address, what will happen in the next step. addressing that concern. basically you have all of these plans being laid out of ways to address this and be able to target certain things that the republicans find objectionable and you don't have the democrats in on the discussion. there is a long way to go and can everybody stay together. the team is to place it together right now. that's not the equation. >> this sad story right now. the department of defense releasing the names of those three american soldiers, all u.s. special forces who were killed earlier this year in niger. for now just their names. staff sergeant ryan c. black from washington state, 39-year-old jeremiah w. johnson from ohio and 29-year-old staff sergeant dustin m. wright. killed wednesday when their patrol came under fire. still investigating what happened. we'll be right back. what started

think three days ago there was this dream scenario in the mind of mitch mcconnell and perhaps cory gardnerwait. we cut this alexander/murray deal and maybe at least can table health care just for an election cycle. do you think that could have happened? if alexander-murray happens? >> if i'm mitch mcconnell i want to punt this. you know, talk to democrat leaders back in 2010 about how dangerous health care is, politically. what you do have now is, you have a majority of americans, guess what? all of a sudden obamacare is more popular than it has ever been. right? the base of the republican party still wants to get rid of it. this idea of replace and repeal, repeal and replace is something a pollster like me came up with because the idea was completely unpopular. >> do replace to -- but they don't have a replacement. >> right. and philosophically for me they're note for universal coverage. >> what do you make of -- i give mike credit. step one in the repeal and replace process. meanwhile, democrats, this is how you preserve obamacare. in through the out door here. >> but that's kind of how

and senator cory gardner of colorado rounds out the top five with almost $4 million received from the nra. no numbers available for 2016. in the house the member getting the most, congressman french hill of arkansas with just over $1 million. the nra gave him $2,000 in 2016. for more on gun legislation efforts on capitol hill, let's bring in kasie hunt. republicans and democrats alike are talking about a ban on bump fire stocks. is this a start of something big when it comes to gun laws? or is this just any attempt throwing something to make it look like something's happening when in the end it's not much of anything? >> i don't think a ban on bump stocks is going to turn into anything more than a ban on bump stocks. and i think they're still -- some of the backers, even the republican backers of this acknowledged still may not have a clear path through the grgs. the nra as you mentioned, yeah, they give money to politicians but a lot of their power comes from their grassroots. they have essentially mobilized a small -- relatively small but very vocal and powerful group of people thes

i think senator cory gardner of my memory serves me correct has introduced something along those lines of making it available over-the-counter. >> harris: the morning-after pill is over-the-counter but anyone can drive that over the counter. >> kennedy: daily oral contraception is still only available over-the-counter. >> harris: it's the dudes. >> dagen: but a lot of this can be taken care of that state level. if they don't like what the government is doing with the federal mandate on contraception, you already have left-wing states like california, maryland, vermont denying laws to protect the free birth control coverage and it's almost the country has moved on this in some way, shape, or for form. >> lisa: is part of their data package and i'll pay for it. >> harris: i'm looking at some of these details on this and the exemption is now brought in to any nonprofit with religious or moral objections. not just church of exemptions. again, this is not even technically and an extension of what was on the books by much but certainly doesn't crate anything new that was already legal. >> ke

see the president do things like the statements after the charlottesville rally, saw people like cory gardner, tim scott, marco rubio, quick to step out and say those statements were wrong. on russia, republicans especially in the senate doing a serious investigation. passed additional sanctions over the white house's objections have been willing to stabbed ndo the president, maybe not as much as some would like, but you do see it and while at the same time trying to get stuff done. >> two words in response to that, which are gillespie ads. those ads are an illustration from ed gillespie, establishment republican you of where in a pinch you think you need to go. >> winners make policy. loser go home, as mitch mcconnell said. >> we will pause the conversation on that note. stick around. we talked a lot about the republican civil war. up next, can anything bridge the democratic divide? we'll dig into that a few minutes as well. ♪ ♪ everyone deserves attention, whether you've saved a lot or just a little. at pnc investments, we believe you're more than just a number. so we provide personal finan

i have a great relationship with both cory gardner and with the leader.his was a decision that i came to along with my family. so that's not it. it is difficult. i couldn't see a path forward and run the kind of race i would be proud of. >> you are not running simply -- you could not figure out a way to win, that's why you are not running pure and simple. >> not and run the kinds of race i would be proud of. >> right. >> i mean, there was -- people can put forward a path to victory but that involves agreeing with all of the president's positions and condoning his behavior. and i can't run like that. i just -- i can't. so there was no path forward for me with those -- with that kind of scenario. >> you come january '19 neither you nor bob corker have been in the united states' senate. both of you have been trying to sound an alarm. you are not alone, john mccain, there are others doing this. do that cross your mine, if this is a civil war inside your party that you are handing them a victory by walking away. >> yes, i did. that is what was very difficult.
