and so as a result, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, that meeting that was supposed to happen regarding the budget is saying that basically he is not willing to work with democrats on the budget so they're not willing to work with him. of course, that tweet this morning kind of put them over the top. we will continue to monitor this and see if they get back into that meeting or if they're done for today. but we will keep an eye on that for you and bring it to you as soon as we get it. this also just in with the alabama special election now is two weeks away, roy moore, the embattled republican candidate releasing a new tv ad and holding his very first campaign rally in more than a week. listen. >> these allegations are completely false. they are malicious, specifically i do not know any of these women. nor have i ever engaged in sexual misconduct with anyone. as a former judge and prosecuto prosecutor, i know the seriousness of charges like this and they should be serious. >> julie: jonathan serrie is live in alabama with the very latest on the ongoing battle there. >> actually, we moved to

he ripped into nancy pelosi and chuck schumer for refusing to attend the meeting. mike emanuel has our report. >> i have to run down to the white house for a meeting i gather nancy pelosi and chuck human are not coming to. reporter: shuck schumer and in rrp backed out much a scheduled meeting with president trump, speak per ryan and majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> as long as he remains a destructive force, it will be a waste of everyone time to continue working with some win* who clearly has no interest in coming to an agreement. we hope the president in order to avoid this calamity will change his mind. reporter: the senate majority leader notes he never backed out of a meeting when obama was in the white house. >> i can't imagine why the democratic leader and miss pelosi decided not to do their job. what they need to do is step up and say yes to doing their job job in keeping the government up and running. reporter: they are needed in the senate where most of major pieces of legislation require 60 votes and there are only 52 republicans. shoer rattled off a la

the president was supposed to hold talks with democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi tuesday. they backed out of the meeting after mr. trump tweeted he doesn't foresee a deal with them. >> chuck schumer and nancy pelosi did not show up for our meeting today. i'm not really that surprised. we have a lot of differences. they're weak on crime. they're weak on illegal immigration. they want the illegal folks to come pouring into our border, and a lot of problems are being caused although we've stopped it to a large extent, as much as you can without the wall, which we're going to get. >> and nancy pelosi tweeted this shortly after, saying in rt pa, his empty chair photo showed he's more interested in stunts than in addressing the needs of the american people. paul ryan, she said, and mcconnell relegated to props. sad. so how does any of this back-and-forth help get any deal done? >> well, it helps donald trump with his base, but that's a very narrow assistance. what he really needs is not necessarily democrats but to get the republicans onboard. and you've got the republicans who

i think chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, the president's words, now might come to the table because the president thinks that they might think that changes whole calculation of it all. the point the president was trying to drive home there, there needs to be a boost in military spending. the president contends that democrats do not want that. the president tried to drive home the point that he thinks he is on the right side of the issue but even more so politically, that he thinks that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi now should return to the bargaining table as it relates to the government spending bill that needs to be hashed out by next friday, in light of what we just saw from north korea. those were two unexpected. then the expected at least in some form was this vote today from senate budget committee. now we know that the budget committee has passed that tax bill, that will now go to the rest of the senate for an up-or-down vote. the administration, republicans, remain hopeful in that. the president went up to capitol hill to sort of rally republicans. senate republicans are behind

. >> chuck schumer and nancy pelosi boycott the white house meeting charging the president is pushing the country towards a shut down. >> chuck schumer and nancy pelosi did not show up for our meeting today. they have been all talk and they have been no action. and now it's even worse. now it's not even talk. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ feels like the first time ♪ feels like the very first time ♪ feels like the first time. brian: foreigner has been here allot. we don't call them foreigners. we call them internationalists? steve the group is foreigner. brian: no longer good vernacular to say foreigner, right? hey, there is a foreigner over there you don't say that anymore. steve: they are italian. ainsley: illegal alien. brian: not supposed to say alien anymore. hey you are from you here? steve: first time yesterday at the behest of kim jong un he personally ordered that at 3:00 in the morning yesterday that they would launch a missile called a hasang 15. here's the bad news they joined the nuclear club. full nuclear status where it looks like they can hit anywhere in the united states. brian: that is i

i should've pointed out [indiscernible] one was for chuck schumer and one is for nancy pelosi. were making it clear that meeting did not go ahead. for a guy that claims he wants a conversation with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, he makes it almost impossible for them to come to the white house because he shamed them on twitter, verbally, and digitally, with the two empty seats. i am not sure how that gets us closer to an actual shutdown. that he has a plan here. joe: do we have :00 closer to midnight? >> we are a couple minutes closer to midnight. those of us in the washington bureau for bloomberg did not think it would be shut down. republicans want to get tax reform done, they do not want way, butto get in the this gets in the way. trumps actions today makes a shutdown more likely. they will be working to the final minute. he is making it difficult for the democrats to want to make a deal with him. last time schumer and pelosi went to the white house, they there were deals he was open to doing. now he seems to be pulling that off the table. remember that the , they always ne

chuck schumer on floor of the senate. he nix ad invite by the president to meet with nancy pelosi and meet with republican leaders as well with the president. that responding to a nasty tweet by the president. let's listen to chuck schumer. >> if the president who alreadier earlier this year said our country needs a food shutdown, if the president isn't interested in, wants to make the government shut down, we'll work with those republicans interested in funding the government as we did in april. we have some things to do. we have to fund the government. we have daca. we have the children's health insurance program. we must reinstate cost-sharing for health premiums and out-of-pocket costs. we have to deal with disasters. we have to fund our defense and our non-defense sides for the government in reasonable way. there is so much to do. we're eager to get that done in a bipartisan way. obviously the president isn't, but hopefully leader mcconnell and speaker ryan are, and we look forward to significant down with them to resolve this in an aim mickable way as we did in april when the president wasn't involved and we got it

chuck and nancy today about keeping government open. problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our country unchecked. i do not see a deal. chuck schumer and nancy pelosiled a meeting after that and right now, chuck schumer is speaking on the floor, saying that democrats will negotiate rather with gop leaders in congress. there is no point in talking with trump is he doesn't see a deal. putndly, mitch mcconnell out his own statement on the cancellation, writing that democrats are finding "new excuses not to meet the of menstruation to discuss the issue." we will see how that progresses -- meeting the administration to discuss the issue." we will see how that progresses jerome powell made -- progresses. jerome powell made the case to keep with the fed rate hikes. governor powell: it is time for us to be normalizing interest rates and the sides of the balance sheet, as well. vonnie: joining us after that 2.5 hours of testimony is our dq economic chief -- rdq chief economist. did anything stand out to you? >> no. i think mike put it well earlier. know, that was a very clear statement. the economy is in pretty good shape and we should be normalizing the ba

republicans don't like chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and democrats don't like donald trump. up to donald trump because their supporters hate donald trump. so it's good for them, but it's also good for trump because he's picking a fight with democrats. i think this benefits both sides. i'm not sure it's good for the country, but it works well for both sides. >> the fact is the president needs democrats to avert a government shutdown. >> he does but there's going to be a lot of chatter about shutting down the government. i don't think anybody wants to shut down the government. it would be galactically stupid for either side to shut down the government

states, and later he meets with bipartisan leaders, and meeting with chuck and nancy today, and he means chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. i don't see a deal. you know, that's an interesting way to say how are you doing, lynn sweet? is that a nice way to greet nancy pelosi and chuck schumer as they come to the white house today? >> no, because it includes things that are not true. the democrats never said they want a flood of immigrants to come in as to suggest there's some new provision they want that is not on the books right now. no, it's not a way that you make a deal. especially when you say you can't have one. this is not a piece of real estate here. he also put conflated several issues, sometimes -- john, you just asked about corker when you and patrick were talking. >> right. >> lawmakers on the hill know how to separate things, political an mist and each separate deal, it's like poison go into the well for everything he wants to do especially since democrats will probably not give him votes on the tax bill. other measures he might get them on keeping government open. >> the line about immigrants in the presiden

we saw chuck schumer and nancy pelosi they pulled out. k schumer seeking, the president arriving. republicans saying, show up. if you want to get this done and get back to work, show up. quite a battle brewing. >> hugely busy day. republicans need to find a way to get to yes on taxes. they will. it's going to be ugly. i imagine in the next couple of days it's all dead and buried twice. they're going to get to the end. they have to. it's essential. >> mitch mcconnell, the president few moments ago. huge day. lot at stake. what a wild hour this has been. >> it's been awesome. >> we'll be right back. when you've been making delicious natural cheese for over 100 years like kraft has, you learn a lot about people's tastes. honey, what do you want for dinner tonight? oh whatever you're making. triple cheddar stuffed sliders. sold! >> thanks to josh holmes, it was very good timing to have you here today. >> it was fun. >> the color inside the capital is very good, thank you. >> we learned all about the ohio clock. apparently they use to hide liqu

the fact that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi were not there was due to a tweet. we'll put it up on the screens you can read it along. meeting with "chuck and nancy" about keeping government open and working. the problem is, they want illegal immigrants flooding into our country unchecked, they are weak on crime and want to substantially raise taxes. i do not see a deal! the president referring there to border security measures that he is looking for an exchange on the dreamers. for folks who have been in this country for some time when they are brought in as children by their parents illegally. look like earlier in the year they would have some sort of deal between the white house and the democrats. now that deal appears to be faded. the president said and i can send out that tweet, as he was arriving on capitol hill, to me with a caucus, chuck schumer took to the senate floor to say this. listen here. >> the president said, i do not see a deal three hours before our meeting, before he heard anything we have to say. given that the president doesn't see a deal bet

more now on why leader nancy pelosi and chuck schumer decided not to meet as planned. they backed out as president tweeted this earlier, quote, meeting with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer about keeping government open. the problem is they want to substantially raise taxes. i don't see a deal. so that came in from the president this morning. here now is senator chuck schumer speaking. actually, live pictures. saying anything? let's go quickly, let's pivot. let's go to jim acosta, our soi senior correspondent at the white house. obviously the wheel and the deal is on. >> yeah, i was tying to read lips there as well, brooke, couldn't make out what the president was saying. he did say something to the reporters as he was coming out of that meeting with republicans. he called out senator. >> let's try again, jim. >> sure. >> intercontinental ballistic missile, do you have any comment? >> do it here. >> okay. my executive producer apparently is the good lip reader and was being asked about intercontinental ballistic missile and he said we'll be talking about north korea. that

he also said -- had this to say about nancy pelosi and chuck schumer not showing up for tuesday's taxeeting. let's just have a listen. >> chuck schumer and nancy pelosi did not show up for our meeting today. i'm not really that surprised. we have a lot of differences. they, before this meeting and before this missile launch, they've been weak on military in terms of spending. they're very hard to get for military. they want it for a lot of other things but the military is secondary to them. the military to me is number one. we wouldn't be here without our powerful military. >> and schumer responded saying if the president will work with both sides, he said we're happy to meet with him any time, anywhere, any place. so molly, why is the president linking the north korean issue with the spending fight? what purpose does that serve? is it mr.ly helpful? >> it's just a political tactic to blame the democrats for not coming to the table, but sit a very interesting route the president has taken on this particular fight in congress, which could lead to a shutdown of the government. he's show

with that being said, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi did not show up for our meeting today.differences. they're weak on crime. they're weak on illegal immigration. they want the illegal folks to come pouring into our border and a lot of problems have been caused, although we've stopped it to a large extent, as much as you can without the wall, which we're going to get. they -- before this meeting and before this missile launch, they've been weak on military in terms of spending. they're very hard to get for military. they want it for a lot of other things, but the military is always secondary to them. the military to me is number one. we won't be here without our powerful military. we're building it up stronger, bigger, better than ever before. and general mattis can testify to that. and the other thing, they want tax increases and we want major tax decreases. so they decided not to show up. they've been all talk and they've been no action. and now it's even worse. now it's not even talk. so they're not showing up for the meeting. i will say this, in light of the missile lau

nancy cordes reports. >> chuck schumer and nancy pelosi did not show up for our meeting to day. >> theresident held an improp to photo op flanked by two empty chairs to signify his displeasure after the two top democrats canceled on him. >> they have been all talk and no action. and, now, it's even worse. now it's, not even talk. >> they were supposed to discuss government funding set to run out next week. democrats called it a waste of time after president trump attacked them on twitter. and said, i don't see a deal. >>> all he has to do is say he is serious and wants to undergo a real negotiation and we will sit down with him. >> mr. trump did get to put his deal making to the test lunch with senate republicans, where he sparred with senators who still have concerns about the party's tax plan. >> wisconsin's ron johnson thinks the tax cuts favor corporations at the expense of small businesses. thought it was fine, dandy exchange. >> bob corker worries about what the 1.5 trillion dollar plan would do to the deficit? >> i'm just trying to, ensure that we in that's, great for future gen

the meeting here at the white house where the president came up with the nickname for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi chuck and nancy and had to walk back the agreement he thought they had related to daca protections. here is the thing. democrats have said they believe they have a lot of leverage when it comes to talks about end of year funding bill. they know whenever it comes to these government funding measures it's the democrats that have to provide the votes to get that thing across the aisle. for them to back away from the meeting they knew that going into it. when you hear chuck todd talk about political drama, the calculations, that is what he is alluding to. >> does white house have a whip count on taxes as of now? >> just two outstanding votes. they are not hard nose as we are told. the white house is feeling fairly confident that at some point they will get a vote in the senate and that the president will be able to sign it and give americans a big christmas gift in the form of a tax cut. >> jeff bennett in the white house press briefing room. thank you very much. we are going to be keepin

nancy pelosi, what was the@ meaning of the nes day? here's jonathan karl. >>just a couple of months ago that president trump was chumming around in the oval office with democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, strikingtempor terms. a week later, bonding over holam pie. but today, the president found himsf flanked empty chairs. pelosi and schumer boycotting a planned bipartisan sitdown after trump attacked them on twitter. "meeting with chuck and nancy today about keeping nt open and working. problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our country unchke are weaon crime and want to bstantiall raise taxes. i n'see a deal!" >> the president said, "i don't see deal" the urs before before he hearanything we had to say. >> reporter: schumer and pelosi said, thanks, but no tnks. they've no action. now it's not even talk. >> reporter: it's a bad ti for an impasse. funding for the government runs is no agreement on the big issues. defense spending, the legal border do you believe there will be a governme shutdown, mr. president? and, would you blame drats if that happens? >>ns, i would lame the democrat. president trum said right ther hll blame theemocrats if there is a g

first there was this morning's tweet from the president, meeting with chuck and nancy today, of course, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi about keeping government open and working. problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into your country unchecked. are weak on crime and want to raise taxes substantially. you know at most times the story like that about a potential government shutdown would have sent the stock market into a complete tailspin. government shutdowns are synonymous with lower stock prices even if the democrats hadn't canceled their meeting the rally over this could take weeks, months secret that tends to weigh on the stock market. but not this stock market. instead we rallied on the news why? who knows. maybe it signals that the republicans don't need votes to keep it funded i have no idea all i can tell you is that the stock market no longer seems to care something that was incredibly as important as a couple of years ago and believes that the gop has the votes to keep the lights on without democratic assistance. something it will likely result in a more pro-business agenda and new tax code or how
