look, i mean, i think what we're watching is chuck shum eastern the democratic party leadership doingocratic party. there were a number of democratic senators who initially came out and said, you know what? we probably shouldn't go -- force the nuclear option to happen. we should support judge gorsuch because he is a mainstream judge. and so they know that there is nothing about his qualifications, nothing about him as a juryist that there is any reason for them to oppose him. this is purely politics. this is about opposing president trump. so they're going to now have something that sun precedented. they're going to force the nuclear option to happen in the senate. even the most controversial senator that's been approved which was clarence thomas was a 52-48 vote. vote was allowed to happen. you have a number of senators getting stranded. this is going to be used against them and the campaign next year because their party is driving them over the cliff. a party that right now we don't know what it stands for. i don't know if anyone can describe to me anything that democratic party ac

senate minority leader chuck shum earp saying the border wall funding is a nonstarter.gainst including money for extra immigration agents in this spending measure. so the big question is will the president sign a bill that doesn't include money for a border wall? my colleague dana bash spoke with homeland security secretary john kelly about that very question. watch. >> let's start with the border wall with mexico and how it relates to keeping the government open. if congress doesn't send president trump a government funding bill by midnight on friday, the government will run out of money and a shutdown would begin. will the president go to the mat and insist on the wall? >> dana, i think it goes without saying that the president has been pretty straightforward about his desire and the need for a border wall, so i would suspect he'll do the right thing for sure but i would suspect he will be insist enter on the funding. >> so there you heard secretary kelly making it sound as though the president would insist on border wall funding. the president didn't sound quite so d

in this portion, senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, chuck shum eastern house democratic leader nancy pelosi. all the leaders express support for israel. this just over an hour. >> good morning. >> thank you for getting up early. our core and the students it's great to be with you this year. just after i addressed this conference in 2015, prime minister netanyahu gave an important address to congress. he warned about the dangers of then president obama's plan for a nuclear deal with iran. the obama administration ignored him. it was hardly the only time israel would let feel down over the last eight years. the u.s.-israel relationship was in a terrible state when the new administration took office. we all agree on the importance of reaffirming our relationship and charting a new way forward. but we first need to examine what went wrong over the last eight years and that starts at the beginning. former president obama and i have very different opinions about america's role in the world. we disagreed about our lives with israel, we disagreed whether the post world order remains in

take a listen to donald trump on the relationship with chuck shum wrer typically there is some sort of effort to make it sound like you can get something don even if you can. >> senator schumer is a bad leader, not a natural leader at all. he works hard to study leadership. when you have to study leadership, you have problems. he is a poor leader, known him a long time. and he's leading the democrats to doom. it's sad to see for our country what's happening to the democrat party. >> what did you think was kind of going through trump's mind there, almost an obituary statement about his relationship. >> he is summing up the democrats to be reasonable and why the agenda stalls. why things he promises like the obamacare doesn't work. he is putting that at the feet of chuck schumer. the reason that it is the law of the land is because he can't get his own party's house in order as republicans and the most conservative republicans are the ones who block that repeal and replace first time down. but it's just very telling. trump is always in search of an enemy. always in search of snoun blame.

something i care a whole hell of a lot about, but that's something the business community cares about, chuck shumstituents care about. >> heidi heitcamp. >> we've been hearing people in the business community complain that our corporate tax rate is unfair compared to the rest of the world. get that passed. you've got a single, got people cheering and you've got momentum. >> it should be fairly simple. the average corporation don't pay 35%, they actually pay 14%, one pointless than the 15% they're proposing. what it does do and what the big benefit is, it reduces the compliance costs. large corporations don't care about that because they can afford that. it's a barrier to entry into the market. they can lower it to 15 and put everybody in the same playing field, get rid of all the compliance costs, i think it would be a good deal. >> the polling is interesting, too. you see what the democratic attack would be, why is this your priority, not the middle class. the polling shows that. where there's popularity behind the idea of lowering the corporate tax rates matches up with one of trump central pro
