senator chuck schumer is back home in new york. senator schumer, i want to start with you. because the president and the leadership in both houses has now agreed to a funding bill to keep the government running mstil october, but it includes $38 billion in cuts to federal programs. the problem is we really don't know where these cuts come. tell us what some of them are. >> well, let me say the compromise i think is a fair compromise. both sides gained. i think it will get broad bipartisan support. hie turning point in this was when the hard right, which wanted to focus the cuts... >> schieffer: senator schumer, before we get to that, tell me what some of the cuts are. >> well, the cuts are across the board. everybody gives some pain. we don't have the specific details yet. they're going to be published on monday. i'm not going to get into any of the specific details until then. but i can tell you this. about half of the new cuts will go not just from what's called the domestic discretionary, but other areas-- defense, agriculture, and things like that. that's what allowed u

unfortunately, chuck schumer and the liberals are trying to make political points. >> sean: if anythingit is interesting. it seems the two previous continuing resolutions, and the republicans did extract 10 billion dollars in cuts. you wanted more. you and mike pence are saying we are headed for a showdown we might as well pick this fight now the type of cuts are needed the democrats might agree with 20 billion more. if you have a 3.7 trillion dollar budget, 1. 5 trillion deficit this year, 20 billion is peanuts. if anything, you're trying to get the leadership to be more an guess sieve and fight in battle now. -- more aggressive and fight in battle now. maybe there's resistance? >> we've been working on this store some time, king of iowa, gomer of texas. it is time for -- -- gohmert in texas. it is time to change the arch of history. the money hidden in the obamacare that no one discussed prior to the vote on the bill. that needs to come back. >> sean: if the republicans want 61 billion democrats only willing to give 20 billion. republicans are promising that their budget is going to d

senator chuck schumer, -- host: senator chuck schumer, called senator schtupid this week. guest: he has taken a fairly large will in these -- fairly large role in these talks. you saw him talk, trying to put some pressure on boehner to make it look like he was catering to the so-called tea party element in the caucus. he has become a big target. guest: actually, it was the democratic line of the week. harry reid, chuck schumer, they were all on the floor saying that this is not about the budget, that it is a social agenda. when your listeners andyou wills about the social agenda and not the budget. schumer may be in the cross hairs, but this was part of the democratic strategy on messaging. host: this is from the front page of the "washington post." it says they were even more about the coming fight over raising the debt ceiling. did the president give away too much, too soon? guest: expectations were certainly raised within the republican caucus about what they could get. in the end, the deal was closer to $40 billion. john boehner was able to get a lot more. some democra

. >>> senator chuck schumer of new york said he wants to see tougher regulations on inspections of those highly popular 737 jets. >> i think that we have to do a thorough review of these aircraft. i think it's up to boeing, because it's not just southwest that flies these, but many other airlines that fly them. >> the 737 is considered the work horse of the airline industry, used mainly for short haul flights. tonight, southwest says two more of its 737's are now grounded after inspectors found small cracks in the planes as well. >> reporter: investigators found widespread cracking on the fuselage of the southwest airlines 737 jet that made an emergency landing in yuma, arizona friday. >> was the aircraft well maintained and should it have been maintained better? that is exactly why we are here, to look at why this problem occurred, why it was not detected, and why this event happened. >> reporter: passengers on board the plane captured video of the 5-foot long, 1-foot wide hole in the fuselage. southwest mechanics will saw out that section of the plane's skin and send it to washington f

are stating wait a minute he wants the republican nomination, you have donated to harry reid, chuck schumerer democrats. why? >> i get along with everybody. can i be honest, you are a pretty conservative guy. don't you think it is time. i get along with everybody. i havemq plenty enemies as you probably know. my worst enemy will be obama. the fact is, i get along with people. i also come from a place that is almost exclusively democratic. i'm in new york. the republicans don't even think they have a chance. maybe i would have a chance. but they don't even think"f about new york. i've lived in new york. this building this tower and many other great towers are in new york. everyone is democratic. what am i going to do contribute to republicans? one thing i'm not stupid. am i gonna contribute to a republican when they run most they can get is 1% of the vote. i think more importantly, this question will always be asked. i've contributed to schumer, i've known schumer for many, many years and i have a good relationship with him. the fact is, i think it is along. >> sean: our weeklyá analysis of

and bob's guests on "face the nation" this sunday include senators chuck schumer of new york and jeff sessions of alabama. in the battle for libya, nato apologized today for an airstrike this week in which five rebels were killed by mistake. the rebels are now putting pink markings on their vehicles so nato can tell them from qaddafi's forces. today, alan pizzey went along as the opposition tried and failed to retake the town of ajdabiya. >> reporter: there are several good reasons why the war here has settled into a stalemate. this is one of them. the western gate to the now- deserted town of ajdabiya, was laid-back today there was a local elder on hand to offer counseling to young fighters, but the eccentrically armed rebels don't have any idea what's going on, even a few miles up the road. "nothing has changed," student volunteer hussain saleh says. "we don't have any information." the rebels also seem to lack the kind of strategic planning that their enemy is proving better at. this is the last checkpoint before what passes for the actual front line, but between here and the battl

patty murray is extreme, chuck schumer is extreme, and so on. the president also said that he did not want this bill to be about petty grievances. he said petty grievances. what planned parenthood is done is killing potential american citizens, thousands and thousands of them. host: thank you for your input. sounds like harold was watching the senate moments ago when harry reid came and spoke about the agreement as did senator mcconnell. they agree to the short-term spending measure. this is the action from just a short while ago. there's a short-term bridge that will give us time to avoid a shutdown with an agreement with both houses in the president. we will cut $70.5 billion below the president's budget proposal and agreed -- in an agreement on almost all the policy riders. there will be a short-term resolution to keep the government through thursday. mr. president, i first of all want to express my appreciation to the speaker and his office. it has been a grueling process. we did not do it at this late hour because of trauma. we did it becau

chuck schumer said it. harry reid said it. >> did speaker boehner and your fellow republicans and tea party members tell eric cantor how horrifyingly embarrassing it was for him to misstate constitutional process the way he did? that any high school student in america knows that what eric cantor said last -- yesterday was laughably impossible and stupid? >> not at all, lawrence. >> why not? >> the entire -- >> why would you let him say that and not tell him he's embarrassing his party? >> lawrence, here's why. because there's a bigger point that you don't get and there's a bigger point the senate democrats don't get. we are falling off a financial cliff. our kids and our grandkids are going to be bankrupted. the american people realize that. thhouse republicans do as well. and our leader, eric cantor, realizes it, which is why once again he's going to lead us in putting something in front of the senate democrats so as you said in your opening we can come together on something and move to what really are the

but when the republicans originally proposed some cuts like this, harry reid and chuck schumer called it draconian, extreme and radical. and you ended up agreeing to two-thirds of it. >> chris: you talk about the number. there were cuts in there. the cuts that were radical and draconian are not in the final package. >> chris: isn't billion dollar cut in research and development, high-speed rail. >> there are some cuts and a lot of investment. president said friday night, any come promose -- by the way, "compromise" is not a dirty word. even with a lot of your viewers it shouldn't be. >> chris: what do you mean a lot of our viewers? >> the point is most americans believe there may be some in the base of the republican party. polls show this out. the american people want compromise. there is a slim majority that does not. we're not going to move forward on anything together in divided government unless we come together to find common ground. the good news is we did it this week on the budget in spending. we did it in december on taxes. so, i think it can be done. it's important that we

shu chuck schumer is an indication of what happens in both parties. we talk about how to get a message through to the american people as tough as it is in this day in age and chuck was instructed folks what he felt the best way was to deliver that message. here's what it comes down to. we cannot go so far in spending cuts at this moment as to jeopardize this recovery. we have good news. last friday more jobs are being created. the lowest unemployment rate in two years. it's slow going. we don't want to kill off jobs. the house republican budget would eliminate up to 700,000 jobs in america instead of 200,000 on the plus side as we showed this month we would be moving backwards and we don't want to. we want to move out of this recession by creating jobs. >> let's stick with politics. e.j. dionne, columnist with "the washington post" will be on our roundtable in just a few minutes made the argument that president obama has been missing when it comes to framing the debate over spending cuts. why? >> you have to put it in this context. if the president as

[laughter] [applause] >> as president as well, right? >> people ask me whether i knew back then that he would become president. i think he knows that the right answer is, of course, i do

but if you want to know about shutting down a government, go right over there and talk to chuck schumer0 pennsylvania and talk to the president. we are here to talk about the incredible fiscal irresponsibility. i got to tell you something, why would i want to sit down and compromise with people who enhanced this problem that we have in america? with the three years of deficit spending, $1.42, $1.92, $1.65 trillion. the debt in the last four years has gone up $5 trillion. why do you want to listen to people like that? because i don't think they are going to give me any good solutions. the bottom line is this: we have got to turn this ship around. >> amen. >> i am not going to lower my standards. i am not going to do anything but stand upon the values that you sent me up here for. for 22 years, you asked me to do one simple thing. you asked me to always protect your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. you asked me to guard the great symbols of this country. and in november of 2010, you gave me the privilege and the honor to take off the uniform, put on a suit and tie, and continue to

under the current circumstances, if we cannot get chuck schumer and mike allen to make news on a day like today when we are facing the possibility of a government shutdown, we are in the wrong business. i feel certain we are going to make some news today. one thing i would like to do before we kicked things off is to thank bank of america. they are our sponsors for today. they had been a terrific partner with politico in many ventures. we appreciate their support here today. thank you very much. just a couple of quick program notes -- there will be questions once mike kick things off. start thinking of your questions now. we would get to them towards the end of the session. if you want to follow this on twitter, you can do so at speeds the hashtag, >> thank you very much and welcome to play but breakfast and the c-span audience. we urge you, just questions. you can heckle, critique senator schumer. he is used to it. if the government shuts down on friday, will the democrats share in the blame? >> the scenario is becoming clearer every day. the democrats want to avoid a shutdown. we a

can you at least go to the position of a chuck schumer who says let's do something for people who makeillion a year. but at some point there's got to be a place where the wealthy are asked to do something to help resolve this problem and not leave it all on the elderly and the working people. guest: i think that's the same argument you see walter monday dale making even today. the idea of increasing taxes. the campaign argument i ran on 1984 didn't work then, i don't see how it's going to work now, you know, revenue raisers, tax decreases you saw them in the obama health care plan. you see that republicans and conservatives are trying to do something to migate that, increase in taxes, and the lack of economic growth businesses are concerned about the full effect of obama's health caver law. the is, i don't think, a strong appetite -- it's going to be part of what the gang of six is going take an. but there's not a strong appetite when you talk about tax hikes. host: how to raise taxes without losing votes. it's pointed out that in 1994, i told the american people that i'd have t raise

megyn: chuck schumer was caught on say saying we are to paint them as extreme. extreme about wanting budget cuts? >> what is extreme is the unwillingness on the part of the tea party to negotiate with the democrats. i had the head of the tea party patriots. they are planning a primary challenge to downboehner. the problem is on the right. the split went tea party crowd and the mainstream republicans. they can't get their act together. most sane people want to negotiate to keep the government running. megyn: but why is it extreme for the tea party to feel differently? because the overspending has been going on for years. president bush was spending like there was no tomorrow. barack obama is spending like there is no tomorrow. now you have a group of americans who say no more. >> you can't just say no more. it's a negotiation. the tea party is a diminishing group of less and less popular -- megyn: how does that respond to my question? >> you have to have mainstream republicans negotiate with democrats in order to make a deal. megyn: when the cuts are talking abou

but if you want to know about shutting down a government, go right over there and talk to chuck schumer0 pennsylvania and talk to the president. we are here to talk about the incredible fiscal irresponsibility. i got to tell you something, why would i want to sit down and compromise with people who enhanced this problem that we have in america? with the three years of deficit spending, $1.42, $1.92, $1.65 trillion. the debt in the last four years has gone up $5 trillion. why do you want to listen to people like that? because i don't think they are going to give me any good solutions. the bottom line is this: we have got to turn this ship around. >> amen. >> i am not going to lower my standards. i am not going to do anything but stand upon the values that you sent me up here for. for 22 years, you asked me to do one simple thing. you asked me to always protect your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. you asked me to guard the great symbols of this country. and in november of 2010, you gave me the privilege and the honor to take off the uniform, put on a suit and tie, and continue to

senator chuck schumer is a democrat from new york. senator, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning, matt. >> it's my understanding that a piece of legislation has to be publically posted for 72 hours before it can be voted on. if that is the case, aren't we inside that window now and doesn't it make a shutdown inevitable? >> well, there is a way to avoid it with a short-term piece of legislation that could be put on the floor as late as today. >> so you're okay on the timing then? >> well, tonight is really the deadline, matt. but there is a glimmer of hope. the talks proceeded between the house republicans and senate democrats late last night. some progress was made and the fact that the president hasn't yet called that meeting at the white house is an indication that maybe there is a chance to avoid this shutdown which we want to avoid. >> tell me about the progress. be specific. do you know where the compromise is headed? >> well, there are three areas of concern. one is the number. we have met the other side more than halfway, $33 billion. but t

. >>> we turn to one of the key senators in the negotiations, senator chuck schumer of new york. it looked like everybody was at the barricades in the afternoon. but harry reid went to the senate floor late last night and sounded more optimistic. he doesn't believe the government's going to be shut down yet. is there reason for optimism? >> i would say there's a little bit of hope. a little more than a glimmer of a candle. but it's certainly not a full, bright, burning candle yet. here's what's going on. the bottom line is, there are three areas where we have disagreement. one is the number. $33 billion was the number that both sides were working off of. it's the fair number because it's right in the middle. they wanted $61 billion. we wanted freeze, which they characterize as zero. $33 billion is a little to their side. and it is the number that republicans called for when they started budget negotiations. they were first for it. now, they're against it. speaker boehner keeps moving that number back. >> i want to get to that. he said in the white house meeting that he needed abo

but if you want to know about shutting down a overnment, go right over there and talk to chuck schumer pennsylvania and talk to the president. we are here to talk about the incredible fiscal irresponsibility. i got to tell you something, why would i want to sit down and compromise with people who enhanced this problem that we have in america? with the three years of deficit spending, $1.42, $1.92, $1.65 trillion. the debt in the last four years has gone up $5 trillion. why do you want to listen to people like that? because i don't think they are going to give me any good solutions. the bottom line is this: we have got to turn this ship around. >> amen. >> i am not going to lower my standards. i am not going to do anything but stand upon the values that you sent me up here for. for 22 years, you asked me to do one simple thing. you asked me to always protect your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. you asked me to guard the great syols of this country. d in november of 2010, you gave me the privilege and the honor to take off the uniform, put on a suit and tie, and continue to serv

people like chuck schumer are telling us that they gleefully invite a government shut down some republicansan be blamed. that is preset. we have a $1.70 trillion deficit projected for this year. you cannot find 50 or $60 billion? that is so said. that is less than 1/3 of 1%. we need to take 10% across the board. let's take 10% from the defense department real-estate 10% from everything. that would not begin to skim the waste and fraud, the craft, the greed that the people in this country advocate. we need to take this by the horns and do the right thing. mr. president, barack hussain obama, you have increased the deficit 100%, 1000%. this is absurd. in 2007, the entire deficit was $160 billion. in the month of february, 2011, the deficit for one month was $233 billion. host: he is arguing for targeted cuts. caller: i feel that the democrats are pushing the democrats too hard on this. when we look at 2010 discretionary domestic spending, it grew from $485 billion in 2008 to six hundred $82 billion in 2010. that is 41%. i am sure we can save $61 billion at a $3.20 trillion deficit. $3.20 tril

meanwhile, chuck schumer says that if negotiations fail and a government shutdown happens, the tea partybe to blame. he went on to say there is a glimmer of hope in talks to resolve a budget stalemate and some progress was made on talks last night between house republicans and senate democrats. if there is a government saysown, joshua log rogan uniformed military personnel would continue to work but stop receiving paychecks. when the shutdown ends, they would receive back pay. those are some of the latest headlines on c-span radio. >> every weekend experience american history on c-span3. hear first person accounts from people who have shaped modern america on oral history. history bookshelf features the best known history writers of the past decade, in trouble too important battle figures to learn about people and events that shaped the nation. jordan collectors and historians behind the scenes of museum exhibits and historic sites on "american artifacts." american history tv on cspan3 all weekend every weekend. it our schedules online. -- get our schedule on line. follow c-span on twitt
