"the times" gives a great deal of credit to the president's persistent regulatory rollback highlighted again last month at this white house event. the administration officials announced then that since president trump took office, federal agencies have delayed, withdrawn or made inactive nearly 1,600 regulatory actions with the president promising many more to come. so let's bring hi

but for people like costello, it's the opposite, right, those are sort of the suburban, college educated, in many cases, voters who are just not interested in the nonsense. one interesting thing, and i'm curious kind of your take on this, i had not heard republicans talk about impeachment, really, until i started asking about the midterm elections. and i think that's part of the warning to the president, that, hey, if you let democrats take back the house, you could be in real trouble. >> i think it's also a warning to their base too. you talk about the base that was there in 2016 for him, and maybe will come back in 2020. historically, that's the problem for any white house party. in the midterm election, your base isn't the one that's motivated, it's almost always the base of the opposition party. you think back to 1998, one of those very rare mid-terms where history didn't hold up, it was because republicans were pursuing impeachment against president clinton in 1998, and public opinion polls were against it, the democratic base thought they were trying to overturn the election. bill

unfortunately, the president and republican leaders in congress are like abbott and costello. the congressional leaders to lead to negotiate with chops or fire. president trump tells me to figure it out with the leaders. -- congressional leaders tell me to negotiate with president trump. let me tell you a bit about what transpired in negotiations. last year, when president trump ended the daca program, we immediately began working on a solution both sides could agree to. leader pelosi and i went to dinner with the president. we came away with an agreement pursuing theeal daca act with border security. the president agreed. but that night and the next morning, the hard right came after him. breitbart called him "amnesty trump." laura ingraham even insisted he be impeached. then congress went to work. in a bipartisan way, senators durbin and graham and their compatriots worked hard to deliver bipartisan deals. two weeks ago, the president had a meeting on national television for the world to see. he said he wanted for things -- protect the dreamers, secure the calls chainwhat he
