plus bob corker's retirement. and this is another example of -- i'm not sure that you would necessarily call bob corker a moderate republican, but i think that you could describe him as somebody who came here because he felt like the goal was to govern. there are a lot of people who have been elected in more recent years who feel like their role is more to kind of trip up government, if you will, or at least make it smaller and get rid of more of it. i do think there are still a lot of republicans who don't necessarily look at washington that way, and i would put bob corker in that category. now, he, when i talked to him earlier today, rejected the idea that he was doing it out of frustration with the trump administration. i want to show you what he had to say and then we'll talk about it. >> when i ran and i told people i couldn't imagine being here more than two terms, you know, it's been a pull. everybody back in the state has known that. i am in no way frustrated. so the narrative that someone like me would le

meanwhile tennessee senator bob corker won't be seeking reelection. he's going to retire at the end of 2018 when his term expires. by the way, that's a power pose right there. that is a power pose. that's how you pose when you're the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. thank you very much. >> bob corker served two terms in was considered to be secretary of state under president trump. but he's been increasingly critical. we've learned that several other white house aides have used private e-mail. while responding to those reports kushner's lawyer got fooled by a prank ter. kushner's lawyer was tricked into thinking he was comuking with his client. he needed to see all the prankster wrote the attorney at kushner. jared and asked what he should do with some private correspondence featuring adult comment. remember last week when donald trump jr. dropped secret service attention it didn't last long. he gave up his protection to have more privacy. it provides protection to the president and vice-president and also family people can decline

alabama, tomorrow it will be tennessee, bob corker's retirement and mississippi. steve bannon is talking to candidates there. mark green in tennessee and chris mcdaniel came really close in 2014. they are trying to recruit him to run against bob wicker next year. >> shannon? >> tomorrow the president is going town veil a big tax plan. there's one reason you should care. the economy, the stock market, all being propped up by companies who hope they get a big corporate tax rate. if they don't get that, if it looks like there's going to be opposition which is mounting from republicans in some of these high tax states, it's going to be a battle bigger than health care and a lot of companies retrench in their hiring. >> we'll see how stupid those people are right now. if they go after new york taxes, the home mortgages or charitable giving, forget about it. anyway, thank you. when we return, let me finish tonight with "trump watch." you're watching "hardball." you know who likes to be

it's right that bob corker was probably thinking about that equation when he made that decision not run. i'm not sure drove it, but i'm sure it was a factor. >> just on the corker point. he did say when he first ran for senate, he thought two terms would be about right. and two terms is what he is doing. so we don't know for sure whether this is what it is. but the senate is a profoundly depressing place to work now in both bodies. but more so for the republicans because they finally have a republican president, and he is functionally and legislative terms, out of his mind. >> right. >> and they can do -- they can get nothing done because he is so destructive to what they're trying to do. >> he is destructive to them symbolically. he is destructive to them practically. i think bob corker is stepping down because he is going to check the wind. he is going to check what is going on after 2018, and i think he might primary the president. i think that's what this is about. >> ron, if you're looking for what would bob corker's political motivation be for getting out of there, separate and ap

if you're bob corker.lishment republican in washington, you've got to worry about two things when you look at this. could this be me? i'm up in 2018. i've got conservative challenges. they don't seem to have traction now. but maybe it wouldn't take much. but also, what is the value for a republican sort of establishment figure for bob corker to go through another campaign, to come back to washington, and be in the republican party where there's more roy moores serving with him and fewer luther stranges? >> isn't the question who is the republican base? i'm pretty sure my mom and dad have voting republican their entire lives. and they don't think homosexuality should be illegal. >> look, you heard vaughn mention this a second ago. flake in arizona, heller in nevada. they've got to worry right now. i'll give you another name. roger w.i.icker mississippi. >> i knew he was going to say that. look at her face. >> steve kornacki -- you know, stephanie. oh, of course. right at the tip of my tongue. >> he's got to

is bob corker going to primary trump in a few years or does bob corker just not want to run against whoever the alt-right candidate is going to be. >> if you dig down into the statement that corker issued, he said at the ending of it i'm d this because i believe the next 15 months of my service could be the most important of my entire career. what does that mean? it could mean he's the head of the foreign relations committee, issues like north korea, china, but it could also mean issues related to russia and how this whole investigation goes down and his criticism of trump. i bring you back to just recently a few weeks ago, stephanie, where he said that he didn't think the president was essentially -- >> stable. >> prepared and able for the presidency to serve. so we don't know what he means by that but i was intrigued that he included that in his statement. he's obviously someone who has been willing to speak his mind in the past. just on a personal note, us reporters here in the senate who run around, he's actually someone who's been very accessible to us and i think will be potentially e

>> well, somebody like bob corker who is, i would say, like a senator's senator, a very, you know, statesman sort of a figure who wants to work across party lines, compare that with roy moore. corker is leaving. compare that with roy moore who you know, if he can win the election in december will be coming in, a fire brand who has twice kicked out of husband job -- his job in alabama. you have this partisan, people who are at the poles of the parties are in control of them it feels like in washington. somebody like steve bannon who before was a french character, went into the white house and now he's -- he's on the winning side of these races. it's -- it's definitely a switch. >> the president yesterday saying he was not preoccupied by the nfl controversy, preoccupied away from dealing with puerto rico. but let me ask you, how serious is the puerto rico challenge for this presidency? he can say we're getting great reviews, but you have three million people essentially in the dark and 44% of the island doesn't have clean drinking water. what is the risk for the president here optically with t

tennessee senator bob corker is our guest live.irst speaker paul ryan defending his colleagues on the house side. >> we've been extremely productive for the first time since 2004 we passed all of our appropriations bills. we're frustrated the senate hasn't acted on a seminole promise. millions of you are online right now, searching one topic. that will generate over 600 million results. and if you've been diagnosed with cancer, searching for answers like where to treat, can feel even more overwhelming. so start your search with a specialist at cancer treatment centers of america. start with teams of cancer treatment experts under one roof. start where specialists use advanced genomic testing to guide precision cancer treatment... ...that may lead to targeted therapies and more treatment options. start where there's a commitment to analyzing the latest research and conducting clinical trials-to help each patient get the personalized cancer care they deserve. start at one of the cancer treatment centers of america hospitals near you.

and i think it underscores -- bob corker's retirement is an important piece of this, too. republicans who, you know, quite frankly came to washington to serve. and i think there is a bigger trend going on here, frankly, in the centers of both parties. they're miserable in washington. they're getting nothing done. every day they feel like they're getting beaten up. there's nowhere really to go. i would respectfully disagree with josh earnest. perhaps we're not focusing on how acute things could get for democrats but dianne feinstein is going to have real trouble in california and i'm not sure that her folks or people around her, or she recognizes that quite yet. having covered bernie sanders' campaign, the anger is there on the democratic side, too. >> josh? >> look, i don't disagree with the fact that we have to figure out a way to make sure we're putting forward a proactive agenda so that we are in a position where we are putting forward actual ideas of substance, standing up for what we believe in as a party, much the way that president obama did. but this is the thing.

. >> today senator bob corker on this very day, when this strangest of oval office meetings occurs, bobker was asked does he still hold to that position about donald trump's stability. let's listen to that. >> do you stand by what you said about the president about how he hasn't demonstrated the stability or competence -- >> you know, i don't -- i don't make comments without thinking about them. >> but did you talk to the president after -- >> i've had multiple interactions with the white house. >> george will, i think we know that bob corker knows how to say nothing, and he did not pass up the opportunity to, in effect, double underline his comment about the president not having the stability he needs to be president. >> well, there's a sense in which mr. trump is a model of stability. that is, he's in this for mr. trump. and when he sees an opening to deal with other people, he will do so. he's not a stable republican, but to give mr. trump his due, he's never pretended to be. i think there's at least a 30% chance that if mr. trump runs again, he would run as an independent. that coul

charlie dent from pennsylvania just quits, bob corker just sits.hey are not comfortable in the party anymore, these guys. and all of a sudden a guy like roy moore feels comfortable. these other guys don't feel like they are. moderates or people who we used to call mainstream republicans are quitting. the wild people are coming on board. >> look, in fairness, i will tell you that i think the republican party is moving to the right and i think the democratic party with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, they are moving to the left. >> wait. you see nancy pelosi and chuck schumer actually trying to govern, find out where they can persuade the president -- not just the president but other -- >> give trump credit, too. >> yes. but they are the ones putting this deal together. they came forward and we may see this in infrastructure. we won't see it on tax reform because tax reform is going to be bad for people in the low and middle income. nevertheless, a lot of republicans do not want to govern. they want to disrupt and destroy. they want to come here

no way that he, bob corker, will vote for it. there is absolutely no doubt that the trump tax plan that was announced yesterday would massively increase the deficit. which is why some republicans will be changing their tune on the deficit. here's what republican congressman mark walker of north carolina told "the new york times" about the deficit and republican rhetoric about the deficit. it's a great talking point when you have an administration that's democrat led and a little different now that republicans have both houses and the administration. we have seen this before. republicans who ignore the deficit when it's republican legislation that is increasing the deficit. john mccain is taking a similar position on tax cuts to the position he took on the republican health care bills. john mccain said we need to do it in a bipartisan fashion. and if john mccain holds to that principle, then he cannot vote for the trump tax cuts. a bipartisan bill would be a very different bill from the one president trump is pushing now. the demo

you mentioned bob corker. i don't think it is a cons since he announced yesterday. he has to worry in the next challenger is roy moore. roger wichhart in mississippi has chris mcdaniel who in theirly knocked him off in the republican primary a couple years ago. maybe the winds are blowing again. >> what does this mean? this could be a defeat of donald trump but not of trump-ism, essentially. so big picture, where does the president go from here? >> you know, i had a republican strategist say to me about invoking the french revolution that they got to the pier at the end, too. there was an ideological factor many the tea party movement. rand paul and ted cruz and mike lee were elected around the same time and came to washington and actually fought on things together. there doesn't seem to be the same kind of ideological similarity in the anti-establishment candidates now except that they are anti-establishment. if we see a raft of these guys getting elected, which is certainly possible, it will bring chaos in washington. but i'm not sure what else it will do. that's

. >> and kasie, since you were here on the day that bob corker made those original comments where he really became the first presidential ally, the first person who saw donald trump up close as a candidate and as a president to say out loud what so many people will only say in private he wonders if the president lacks the competence and stability for the job he has. today he stood by those comments, he said he never says anything without thinking it through first. i wonder if the relationships between republicans and this white house have simply grown too toxic. >> nicolle, i think that that is the question that's going to underscore everything that happens and it's one -- it's a little hard to get to in a succinct question but the list of things that happened while they were away, from charlottesville, to fire and fury in north korea, to attacks on mitch mcconnell, and jeff flake, all of it led up to bob corker making those comments which, you know, i'm told privately were very deliberate. i mean, he knew he was going to speak straight to the president when he said it and he -- you

the real battle is shaping up to be between bob corker and pat them -- pat toomey.t is shaping up to be the biggest battle. what are the revenue raisers? it will all come down to how big of a deficit increase republicans can live with. rules, ther senate budget process cannot be used to increase long-term deficit. does that mean these cuts will be temporary but 10 years later, nobody will want to raise taxes? it's a typical congressional maneuver, kick the can down the road. this is how we govern these days. they get some sort of bipartisan agreement, which is unlikely, they are not going to be permanent, and they are less effective. companies make decisions based on permanency. would does that mean we not get the economic boost everyone is talking about? >> well, bloomberg and others have written stories about how this may be a short-term sugar term, it won'tr have that big of an impact as it would if it were permanent. david: mick mulvaney the director of office management and budget term, it won't criticalis a step to provide tax relief for , i urge thelass senat
